Sorry I’ve been so scarce around here lately. I’ve been extremely unhappy with the way the golf season wound down for me and I needed some time to mentally move on. To be honest, I haven’t hit a shot since my disaster in mid-October.
Sometimes it’s best just to leave it alone for a while when things don’t go well. Otherwise strong commitment can degrade into unbearable burden. When golf stops being fun, then something’s wrong. Well, I took a month-long [...]

The days are getting pretty short now, so most of my work is accomplished on the weekend, though I have tried to make arrangements here and there to play a round or hit the driving range during the week.

The dog days of summer are here. I was grinding away with the pain in my hip/leg area since my last update but fortunately, it seems like it might be very nearly gone. Over the last week or two, I’ve been able to play and practice more and haven’t really been troubled at all.
I did lose a little of my golf stamina because last week I hit a lot of range balls in the morning and when I tried to [...]
