I will be in Jupiter next month most likely...will have no golfing buddies to tag along...PM me if your in that area as i prefer to play with another player or 3...i have access to several courses in the area...no green fees...i'm at 14.2 handicap right now so if your hacking like me thats even better..

I'm a prep/diet coach that works mostly with athletes(football/power lifting)and competitive bodybuilders..i play every Friday and about every other Tuesday..I enjoy golf even thou my build is not the optimal golfers build but I manage my game to fit my can's and cannot s...

Played a course i had never played yesterday....soaking wet....if you carry 275yds off the box your ball was going 276yds...we played the blacks...slope was 136...shot a 86...really cant complain and more so due to the conditions and being unfamilar with the course...

I lived 10 miles east of there around 93-94 for work..

was on the 18th tee box at The Woodlands Resort Panther Trail....i snap hooked a ball half left into a brick house 50-60 yds away...the ball hit the house a sailed right back at me and I caught in my left hand...tee'd it back up and hit 3...

i go too DFW every so often...bout 3 hours...my wife is a Cowboys fan..she's from Plano...i hate the Boy's...so its a little tense during football season...:)

i have had a several epidural injections over the years for non golf related back issues...there are defiantly some things you can do to lessen lower back problems from golf or life in general.. core work: planks,superman's,stability ball work etc leg training: more specifically hamstring and abductor strength stretching/rolling: a very precise and well executed stretching pre round/range program and roll...get a foam roller for pre play and at home.. diet and body-weight/composition certainly play a factor along with stance...the more narrow your stance the more stress the lower back experiences when rotating due to it increases the ROM at your core.. i can see were people find Tiger's "glute activation" comment as odd or funny..but it makes sense too me since i'm involved in training...what he means in normal terms is he gets tight from his IT bands(hips) around his rear end and down to his hamstrings...so that feeling when you make the turn to get a burger and it takes way too long..you get to the 10th tee box and you feel all stiff...you swing and snap hook one cause your lower body is tight...that is "glute non activation"..Tiger needs to stretch more period!!

have played the North Palm muni...its a decent track..wind was a tad tough that day and its a bit narrow...i got lucky my in-laws live in Jupiter and it allows me to have access to a few of the private clubs...played Medalist and a few others...PGA was a tough challenge...overall the Fla courses i have played have been nice...the courses where I play at home are similar in conditions and its fairly windy here also...so not a whole lot different...

will try to add some productive content....
