Second Round of 2024
This past weekend I had the house to myself. The wife and the daughter who still lives at home were both out of town, so I had the rare opportunity to do whatever I wanted. The forecast was a bit dicey Friday night with a chance of snow, so I wasn’t sure if golf would…
Waiting Game
I haven’t hit an actual golf ball since my last post a couple of weeks ago, aside from a little bit of putting on the carpet. In some ways this time period is emblematic of the (first world) struggles in my golfing life – dealing with injuries, and not getting to the course very much.…
First 2024 Stats
One of my intentions for the year is to try and be as efficient as possible with my limited practice time and the facilities that I have access to. I would love to use a strokes gained app of some sort to help me focus my practice, but because I play half lefty/righty, this isn’t…
2024 Goals / Plans
I once again find myself at the start of a new calendar year, with plans to make this the year that I finally start blogging regularly. After several failed attempts with this and other blog ideas, I’m less than confident that it will finally happen, but it’s worth a shot. I hope to write something…
February 13, 2023 Update
This past Friday we had a work function in the office. There is a course near my office that has a nice driving range and a good short game practice area. When working in the office, I would sometimes go and hit balls during lunch or after work. This is one of the few things…
Back to Back (pain)
All I did was bend down to pick up the tee. I had just flushed a righty-driver on the very short 13th hole. Normally I’m careful with how I pick up the tee – keep my back straight, bend the knees and squat down. For whatever reason though, I just bend over to pick it…
January 15th, 2023 Weekly Recap
Clearly I have not yet ingrained the habit of being prompt with weekly posting, as I’m starting to draft this four days after I intended to publish. I played a solo round on Saturday, and for perhaps the second time in a month, I may well have been the only person to have played a…
January 8th, 2023 Weekly Recap
One of the things that has been surprisingly difficult in learning how to play left-handed is getting comfortable with my grip. No matter how much time I spent in front of the mirror or just looking down at my hands, it never quite felt comfortable. I decided to pull the trigger and order a lefty…
2022 Review & 2023 Plans
As the new year begins tomorrow, I thought today was as good a time as any to reflect on the year. For context, here’s a link to my thoughts at the beginning of the year. In the rest of the post I’ll comment on each section, and add some of my thoughts/plans for 2023. Physical…
Back in the saddle
I took a couple of weeks off from playing after my golf trip. A large part this was because my left wrist was still hurting from whatever it is that I did on the second round of the trip, so I wanted to give that some time to rest. In the meantime I also picked…
