Day 544, April 29, 2024

Drove home from North Carolina, repaired a broken PVC ball pusher, and hit some balls. It wasn't great to start (sitting for nearly 10 hours isn't great for making athletic motions), but it got pretty good pretty fast.

Day 137 (29 Apr 24) - Played 18 today with son and good friend (he joined for the back nine) at Minnesott.  Shot a personal best today of 79! (39 front/40 back) Finally broke 80, so I can check that milestone off the list.  Overall play was amazingly consistent - 11 of 18 greens hit in regulation (a personal best), putting was off a little as I had two holes that were sloppy 3 putts but over came them with 3 one putts for a total of 35.  Approach game was on as never before - just seemed to see where I wanted the ball to go and there it went.  A good day of golf.

Practiced downtown (Golf Evolution) for an hour today with Natalie beside me. Feeling a lot of old feelings, in a good way.

Day 19:

Lesson first thing this morning. I have a minor setup thing to work on, and then a new priority piece for hips. Really liked the way my hips and legs were working doing drills and slow swings in the lesson.  Got home from work, made dinner for family, and then attempted some practice of the new stuff, but being tired from work and a bit stiff from engaging different muscles in the golf lesson, it was a bit of a struggle so I stopped and will resume tomorrow evening after work.

    • It’s good to see Tom Kim up there on the leaderboard. Didn’t really know much about him until watching Netflix full swing season 2? I was looking at Schauffele shot tracker and man he hit some great iron shots and drained everything 15ft and in..
    • I think I would go with: Pulp Fiction; The Good, The Bad and The Ugly; Shawshank Redemption; Caddyshack; The Dark Knight.
    • Day 141: 5/16/24 Worked through all protocols of the ProSendr. Putting practice through 50 mm gates.
    • Ahh man what a relief to finally get a decent round of golf in. Played 18 today at a local public course, they only have 9 holes. First 9 went really bad, and I was 17 over at this point. Decided to just take it easy with my swings, not trying to kill the ball and not even trying to get good distance, just focusing on a consistent tempo swing. Back nine went so much better and it felt great. Par, bogey, par, bogey, bogey, par, triple, double, par. Wind was blowing a good 15-20mph+ today as well. Hole 18 is a par 3 at about ~180 yards, direct strong headwind. Tee'd off with a 3h and somehow managed to land the ball 5' from the pin. Choked on the birdie putt of course hah, but was very happy with a par.  Ended with 93. Which I am happy with as I've never been able to break 100 before today. New irons felt great! Definitely a huge improvement from the old blades I was playing.
    • Rahm-blow is throwing clubs! Love it! Also, I seem to be able to will Phil’s putts offline. Telekinesis!
