The year is just about over and it was a great one.
I didn’t accomplish many of the things that I set out to accomplish, but the road map is becoming more clear as each day passes. I accomplished some of the things on my to-do list, but fell short in some places too. I’m going to talk more about that in the next couple of days.
As for Life in the Rough, it has turned out to be great [...]

I’d like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas or happy holidays if one of the others this time of year is your thing.
In a brief survey of the situation, I see that Santa didn’t bring a new set of irons or a plane ticket to Scotland, and it’s not 80 degrees out. So, my list didn’t pan out.
However, I still have my family, friends, health, and happiness and that’s what really matters today.
I wish all the same to you.
-Mike

I expect to be home recuperating for a period of 10-14 days, but I’m not sure what to expect with respect to pain and discomfort so I’m going to go [...]

Today marks six months since Life in the Rough has been in existence.
That’s not much of a milestone, but six months ago I was just wondering if I’d be able to keep up the steam. My posting frequency has declined some, but really that’s me balancing out everything.
The basic premise of this blog is to cover my quest to become a golf pro. That’s a lot of work. At the same time, I’m having so much fun [...]

Several times in the past, I’ve mentioned that I’m recovering from a herniated disk in my lower back that kept me from playing for the better part of two years. After some excellent rehab, I’ve been able to play again this year.
However, it’s not all roses. I don’t have a tremendous amount of pain, but after a lot of play and/or practice, I get pretty sore and tight.
Up to this point, I’ve stayed on top of my exercises [...]

My name is Mike Gray and I'm a software engineer pursuing my dream to become a golf pro.
Life in the Rough is a chronicle of my journey. It covers my progress, my successes, my setbacks. I'll share everything I learn and do along the way, including reviews and tips. Maybe what I learn can help you too.
