For the first time in a while, I’m stringing the good weeks together. Part of me is waiting for the other shoe to drop and upset this great progress.
This Week
I’ve been able to keep up my plan to get up early every day. I’m home free now. I get up at 6:30 during the week and on the weekend, I’ve been waking up by 7:00 without an alarm clock.
It’s really been a great way to get to [...]

Definitely another good week.
The big triumph was finding a way to start waking up early again. I’ve been wanting to do that for a long, long time.
Since golf is my primary objective, I need to maximize my ability to play and practice while fitting it all in with my full time job.
Typically, I get home fairly late because I have a 45 minute commute. Before, I’d get up, stumble out of bed into the shower and get [...]

This Week
I’m at the tail end of my surgery recovery period, so I haven’t accomplished anything for two full weeks. The good news is that I’m released for activity as of tomorrow.
I’ll continue with my weekly weigh-in later today, but I expect a slight rebound from last week. The reason for that is that I dropped about 10 pounds in a week right after surgery and my first official weigh in was right at the low point of [...]

Stack and Tilt seems to be the hot golf concept right now. Since my original two articles, I continue to get a lot of traffic looking for information about Stack and Tilt. I’d like to look at it a little closer.
I’m not going to give a tutorial on the technique. I can’t do better than the original article at Golf Digest. What’s more interesting to me is the reaction I’ve gotten from people in person as [...]
