  1. Evolution of a golf swing. Thanks to all who encouraged and supported the effort -- I wouldn't have made it this far without you! Still a long way to go but the journey is half the fun! 🙂
  2. DAY 5: Range session (60 min) -- GRASS IS OPEN FOR 1st TIME THIS SEASON! 😍
  3. DAY 4: Rain. 😒 Played "Around the World" on the putting mat (15 min). 🙂
  4. Sad tale. Both the A's and Raiders. IMO, cities shouldn't be building stadiums for MLB/NFL teams. But that's the world we live in. DAY 3: 30-min range session with irons and wedges. Working on follow thru -- no hooks! 🙂
  5. Giants or A's? DAY 2: Rest Day = Putting practice on an indoor mat (15 min). 🙂
  6. "Life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans." --John Lennon DAY 1: Two 30-minute sessions at the range. Working irons and wedges with a few hybrids mixed in. 🙂
  7. I don't watch the show but I just caught the clip... I'm dying 🤣😂😆
  8. DAY 4: "Ghost swings" at work with a big showroom window filling in as a mirror.
  9. DAY 3: Swing practice in the Golf Garage (52°, PW, 7i) for 30 minutes. A little fall off from yesterday's gaudy numbers on the shot monitor, which I'm attributing to a little fatigue in the swing. Post-op rehab continues! ☺️
  10. DAY 2: Swing practice in the Golf Garage (52°, PW, 7i). Shot monitor readings are longer than last season... wth? 😲😍
  11. DAY 1: Ghost swings at work. Focus on takeaway and transition.
  12. I'M BACK!!! DAY 1: Played my "around the world" putting game, as I begin rehab for SEASON 3! 🙂
  13. My offseason has begun. 😢 DAY 1: Played "around the world" on my indoor putting mat.
  14. Black Mountain sounds like an awesome golf experience.
  15. In the first tee box, long par 5 to start... out of bounds on the right with a giant chain link fence. I slice my driver... off the fence pole <<<bing!>>> ricochets back onto the fairway for 20 extra yards. The entire round felt like a bit of a struggle but, after I added* my scorecard, it was my 2nd best ever! "When it's your day, it's you day." --Rick Shiels [*I always add my scorecard AFTER my round because I don't want to get tied up in "score." I simply take the "best shot" for me on EVERY shot regardless. ]
  16. I can see that. Lucky and unlucky on the same shot. #GolfIsHard
  17. Don't worry about those birds... THAT'S FRIGGIN' AWESOME!
  18. Wow... just wow. Bounced over with back spin?
  19. Shot an 88 yesterday. Witnessed a clear example -- all things being equal -- of how distance off the tee is greater than accuracy. On 15, I sliced my tee shot (Driver) onto the an adjacent fairway. Still, it was a reasonable drive distance (250 yards) and clearly the accuracy left something to be desired: However, it did leave me an interesting approach shot. Down the other side of a hill, obfuscated by trees, creating a "blind shot." No worries. I hit the best approach shot of my golf life: And then, on the next stroke, bag my second birdy ever.
  20. I just got a new B.O.A.T. BEST SHOT: So, the only thing I had working all day was my DRIVER. So, when I arrive at the twelfth tee box, I'm feeling pretty confident... However, I've lost a few balls (sliced drives) to the lateral water hazard. No worries, I've been nailing it. Then standing on the tee, I decide to go straight at it (shortcut). To be successful, however, I don't just need a good drive... I need my BEST drive... and I GET IT. Best shot of the day. Anxiously holding my breath until I saw it bounce on the far fairway... I practically skipped out of the tee box.
  21. Yesterday, I rolled an 88. I'm no mathematician but I believe it's under 90.
  22. They told me I needed a co-signer.
  23. That's 'cause I just "coined" it. You must've won on the Tour.
  24. B.O.A.T. = Best Of All Time
