Full swing work followed by a good 15 minutes of chipping. I'd gotten a bit sloppy there.

Day 38 (25 Feb 26) - Played in the midweek shootout,  great day of dealing with the elements with solid winds from the south (riding them going out, fighting them coming in - 2club hurt fight).  Not a day to be shy about clubbing up and having confidence on slippery greens.

Day 65 - 2026-02-25

Still in cold and cough recovery but got outside for about 10 minutes at the net. Good to be out moving but diminishing returns on value as I'm lacking real feedback. Energy should return tomorrow.

      Putting to a Picture

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      This is one of those experiential things that it's virtually impossible to imagine how it is for people on the other side of the spectrum. I can close my eyes and see pictures in my head that are just about as detailed as when my eyes are open although I can only focus on bits of it at a time. So if I look at a picture and focus on something in the middle and that only, when I close my eyes I can see that thing I was focused on but everything else is blurred and more so than when my eyes are open.  Out of curiosity - when you watch this do you see the distorted faces?

      Discipline

      By SteveMG · Posted

      I like this discussion and I don't see it happening often. I think of commitment as strategy and discipline as tactics. Commitment is the decision—the what and why. You commit to a process, a practice philosophy, a way of approaching the game. Discipline is the how, repeatedly. It's doing the work when motivation fades—sticking with your routine on the 14th hole after three bad swings in a row. Commitment without discipline is just a good intention. Discipline without commitment is just going through motions. As was clearly pointed out, conscientiousness might be what makes discipline easier for some people ("spectrum"), but it's a trait, not a choice. Commitment and discipline are both choices—and that's what makes them actionable on the course. The thought expressed in the thread, "You should act the way you want to see yourself for be" is spot on, and applies beyond golf. Commitment + Discipline = Progress.
