At 12, he's not the biggest kid. But I don't think he has much speed left that he's not tapping into.

Yesterday, three of my children entered the Local round of @DriveChipPutt. All three set personal best overall scores, and Caroline and Kirke both won their divisions and are headed to the Sub-Regional round at @SentryWorld in a month!

My (absolutely non-professional) advice (that you should cross check with people who know what they're talking about): start with embarrassingly light weight. Get comfortable with that, focus on good form, build a habit, and steadily add weight. I literally started with hex bar deadlifts at ~225 last Nov/Dec, and the tiny increments add up.

@MRileyGolf @Fit_For_Golf Man this inspires me… I have been dealing with severe back pain for a few years and it’s really hindered my golf game. Praying that someday I find the secret sauce to get back to playing pain free and being able to play multiple days in a row again!

Twizzlers are perfect when you need to tell your conscience that you only want one of something, but kinda have to eat the other three that came along for the ride.

@Fit_For_Golf @ryanmouquegolf I second this motion. Start comically light. Add weight intelligently, steadily, without ego. I'm finding it amazing how many nagging body parts have stopped nagging as I've made progress in strength.

Fit For Golf - Mike Carroll
Time to embrace the barbell 👌 Get the deadlift up to 1.5-2x bodyweight and see how you feel ✅ PS - about 50% of 30 year olds show signs of disc degeneration in the lumbar spine. It may not even be a cause of your discomfort. You can have a perfect mri and have pain, and have a very concerning looking mri and have no pain. Pain and injury aren’t the same thing, and there is often no simple fix. My anecdotal non medical professional advice is to focus on daily physical training, a combination of mobility, strength, and cardio, and see how your back trends.

@MidwestGolfJake Clearly, breathing UK air provokes him to speak of the ephemeral nature of the glory of golf.

Played nine holes this morning. Didn't shoot a great score. Two three-putts didn't help. But the swing that had abandoned me is coming back. Feeling the weight of the club in transition and *letting* it settle into position before turning has been a key.

Been using an iron recently to help with my takeaway. If I take the club back incorrectly it causes third-degree burns in my forearms.

I'd been stuck on this a few weeks, so it feels good to finally check it off: 5x355lbs.

@homegymcoop You gotta don the glasses in the review videos when you get to the evaluation and summary. Makes it more official.

Great news: Alpena has two people who do Uber now. And as responsible adults who don’t want to get arrested or hurt ourselves or others, so we took one to the bar. Bad news: Neither of those people are working now. We are semi-drunk and 2.7 miles away from our home. So we walk.

@MRileyGolf So my adhd isn’t as bad a few drinks in. My brain is locked in on one thing at a time and not thinking of 13 other things. Wait, should I be drunk all the time? 😏

@acaseofthegolf1 I just scanned through this thread, and my biggest takeaway: how in the world is it possible that semi-drunk Monday Q makes fewer typos than sober Monday Q?

If you’re from parts of the Midwest you know this is the spot for a hangover breakfast. Alpena has one of the 84 Big Boys still open. There were over 1,000 at its peak.

@millerak42 @adamyounggolf Finished my session by (finally!) getting three in a row. That feel is in there, but I was having trouble finding it. Might play with the nail drill tomorrow.

I have quite suddenly lost the ability to have an in-to-out path. Why is golf the way it is?

Holy shit. @Case4Cleveland just skulled a 9-iron so bad, it nearly hit the ladies tee marker. It hits 70 yards short, runs by the bunker. Over the green to the collar and slowly trickles down into the hole… For his first hole in one.
