Mr. Wuf Turns Chicken
This week’s brotherly match was going to happen at River Bend YMCA. The last time we played here was the first match of the season and I lost by 1. We were both fighting summer colds that we picked up at the beach the prior week. Seeing that he won the last match here, and…

The Desert
5 plane rides, 11+ rounds of golf and practice sessions, 106,267 steps logged in 4 states golfing. I was able to add 3 new states and 4 states total to the birdie count. There were many lessons learned here. Rolling clothes definitely allows for more clothes in a suitcase. I was able to get 8…

’23-2 Calling your shots
Last weeks match was skipped due to my first golf trip of the year. I’ll have more to come on that in a later post. The weekly game with Mr. Wuf was back this weekend and the theme of this week was confidence. He had been going on for days he was going to be…

2023 Goals
After listening to multiple podcasts from the top golf instructors and sports psychologists, I’m reminded about how important it is to go into the season with a plan. After injuring my sacroiliac joint training last December and taking 6 months to realize it wasn’t a pulled muscle and get treatment, I decided the best thing…
