Ive receintly switched from option 1 to option 2 (most of the time). And damn im getting close with every shot. Chipped in the other day. Making life sooo much easier.
Online only right now. The best pro shop around is gone. The range shop is vasitaly over priced as are the ones at the cources. Online is pretty much the best and only way i go now.
Im dying to pick (from New York) and move to Tampa.
Hospitality is a huge industry down there and that is what i do. A degree in Culinary and Rest Management. Right now i do everything but a cook in a really nice restaurant. Its just me and the dog so the idea of leaving shouldnt be that hard. BUT IT IS!
The cost of living alone is a big push. Golf all year sounds fantastic by the way.
Went out today.............. guy i was paired with pulled out a joint on the second hole. Offered me a hit and after that i hit my shot of the day. Worst day of golf ever by the way. I wasnt in the mindset going into it and it never got better than the few shots i took after hitting the joint.

As a "kid" i smoked a lot of pot. Now a days every few months i'll do it with friends. Last season i went out to play alone. Met up with some younger guy. Asked if i wanted to take a hit. I did. And par'd the next two holes. Just saying.
30 years old

190
Goal? 180 would be nice. Its not the weight that is the issue. Its the lack of strength and flexability. Started doing yoga and my rowing machine arrived today. I hike with the dog every day and work on my feet. So weight is never a real issue. Its just every thing else. I dont snack often and never drink sugar beverages, ever.
Keep score! I kept score today and played well.
This is my third season playing. I didnt keep score the past 2. I knew if i played well and i knew if i didnt.
Keep score and get handicapped. Next year i hope to join a league and shoot......... lets say under 10 over par consistently . Today i hit 9 over par.
I gave my pull cart to a friend.
The two places i play are very walkable. My bag isnt heavy and its a pretty good workout......... well when i play other places it is.
No issue carrying my bag.
I play a 9 hole course. I play 2 holes that are next to each other twice if i can. They also allow me to play 18 if i want. As long as you are walking and not taking up others people time they dont care.
I guess its one of those days.
I shot +5 today (9 Holes).
I played 3 more (1,2,3) after that. Par, Par, Bogey. That 3rd hole, a par 3. Ive never once in all my time playing there seen anyone make the green in one. 237 up hill. Traps front and right trees left. Its damn near impossible i tell you!
Great day.
Is she the "pig" creature?
My girlfriend's sister spoiled it for her. She has read the books. I dont know who she is or the pig creature. And i dont want to know till they tell us.
Good show.
I dont have one. I dont normally keep score. This is only my second season playing. The pro asked too. I've shot +6 to +14 at my regular place in recent memory (9 holes).
I will say that when i got what he was trying to teach me the balls went straight and much longer. I was hitting the fence with my driver and a good 170 with my eight iron. Its amazing what a little wrist action can do. I wasnt using them at all! I think he emails me the video comparison when we are done. I'll make sure to try and post it.
Well today was the first the lesson.
He video tapped my swing......... what a mess. I am completely offline, i hunch over without bending my knees or "arching my butt". He thinks im pretty good at keeping my swing plane without ever seeking help. Need more wrist action and need to properly address the ball better. Worked on my grip some.
Confident that i can get this all fixed. Which seems to make it worth it. 3 more to go.
I find it hilariously ironic that the foot joy rain jacket i got online (for a good price) arrived today. But im not playing in the open. Or at all today. Its nasty here in New York.
To clarify. I just hope to learn how to play golf the "correct" way. Being self taught im sure i picked up some bad habits. And maybe that is why no matter what i do i cant fix my drives.
+6 last week.
Its all about the driver for me lately. Its not there. If was there im sure i could put up better numbers. It sucks having to hit a hybrid as my second shot on a par 4.
I just want to consistently shoot in the high 80, low 90's. Dont look at my handicap here. It means nothing.
Im pretty sure that if i can fix my driver i can play much better golf. Even if i can hit it straight, its not going over 220. Which isnt right? 250 straight would be spectacular for my game.
Im at the practice green 4 days a week. Chipping and putting. It has helped a ton. But my ball striking can be all over the place.
This guy will film and analyze my swing. And give me a lesson about driving, irons, chipping and putting. Its about time.
