Day 1 - 3/27

Chipping at the local course.  Played last weekend for the first time in 4.5 months after elbow surgery around Christmas. Meh.
 

Definitely need to go back to just making solid contact. Chipping from 10-15 yds, then back to 20-30 yd shots.

Back in the saddle after a vacation.

Day 1: Played 9 holes. Everything was about a C, and finished about +7 (wasn't really keeping score). Hit some good shots, but most were just okay. I've got some work to do before real golf season starts.

Longer day (not all teaching), so I did some work at home while watching the Pens game. Two point conversion was good.

      Tiger Woods Master Catch-All Discussion

      By Yukari · Posted

      He was not the best driver of the ball. Tiger Woods had hydrocodone pills in his pocket and bloodshot eyes at crash scene, authorities say A sheriff's office report says Tiger Woods’ eyes were bloodshot and glassy, his pupils dilated and he had hydrocodone pills in his pocket when interviewed at the scene of his car crash last week in Florida. If true, Tiger needs his driving license revoked.  IMHO, he needs to get his priorities straight as his life seems to be a mess since his divorce.

      Thoughts on MLB's New ABS System

      By saevel25 · Posted

      The ump should have thrown him out. They have ABS now, stop bitching. 🤣 One thing I don't like about the ABS, it is more of a visual thing. The accuracy for the ABS system is like 0.2". They are overturning if the ball is within that margin of error. I wouldn't mind them saying anything with in +/- 0.2" of the strike zone is kept as called. they should show this buffer zone.
