Rained out on the 4th hole at Spring Brook toady, Bummer!
Though, my recent consistency did start out right where I had left off the night before at my home course.
Wednesday I shot a 37 that had I been able to eliminate 6 inches, (2 lipped putts that held on the edge of the hole and two other near misses) I could have posted a 33.
Thing about golf, whether you are tapping in from an inch out or driving the ball 240 yards, they both count as one stroke on the scorecard.
For the past 6 weeks I have been reformatting my mechanics with the assistance of a local pro. Never have I been able to control my shots as well as I have in the last few loops. After 35+ years of hacking away at this game I have finally learned the mechanics of how to move a ball in the direction I want it to go. Well, most of the time! Cool!
I’m hitting the ball further and with much greater accuracy.
The most important thing I believe I have learned in this process has been to stop trying to hit the ball and instead just let the ball get in the way of the club head as it passes through.
The rain out provided another fine chance to hit the gym.
One Hour – 41 second workout, 122 avg heart rate, 154 peak. 505 reps. I feel spectacular!
Only regret is that I had forgotten to continue developing the single leg squats. I love to do an exercise that I hate, if that makes any sense. In substitution of the torture, I did a couple sets of 10, box jumps with 6 risers. Pretty big leap for this fat guy! The weighted Swiss Ball Crunches, BOSU Push Ups, Chest Fly’s and Pull overs feel like reuniting with old friends. I enjoy the feeling of slightly sore.
Did 3 slow 100 count planks, dam near killed me! Loved grunting them out.
In Closing,…..
Not to smile to wide just yet, though, with one deposit already in the house and a positive lake test for boat number two on Saturday morning, the possibility exists that we will sell our two oldest boats in inventory this week! Bonus! Here’s keeping my fingers crossed!
Be well,
Capt’n

Sounds like the end of a great summer. You focused hard on your golf game and you obviously made the progress you were working so hard to achieve – Nice.
A positive attitude carries across all fronts – including the gym and your business.
Keep up the great work.
