I'm really going to recommit to golf this year. My driver swing is getting really solid. I just have to resist trying to hit the ball. When I just swing through the ball it's down the middle every time and longer than I've ever hit it.

I have two new buddies who each belong to area private courses and with my new electric caddy and a slew of physical ailments behind me, I'll be playing much more frequently.

2 weeks post OP on the wrist and I was hitting my driver yesterday no problem. Fuckin' numbness in my hands is gone forever!

what was causing the numbness?

a buddy of mine has been battling issues with his hand where he has a dead bone in on and it restricts bloodflow (Kienbock's Disease, I think)

I've had Carpal Tunnel in both wrists now. The transverse Carpal ligament puts pressure on the median nerve and all of your fingers go numb periodically. Esp if you sleep with it pinched off. It's never the little finger, just the others and that's how you know it's carpal tunnel. It's also a bitch on my motorcycle as my hand would go numb constantly. They just snip that ligament and it's instant relief. So nice to have them both done. 16 days later, it's all healed over and I'm hitting balls again~

played yesterday...it was colder but not too too terrible.

some parts of my game were good, some were just mediocre. My chips and short game were pretty good but there was a hitch in the irons.

I also think playing tennis 3 days in a row was affecting my swing a little. My right arm was just sore the entire time.

We've got temps and winds in the teens. I can't even hit balls here at my home range.

Played ok once I knocked some of the rust off. A trip to the driving range is still needed though to get it all back. Worked mainly on turning my left hand over and keeping my driver head more closed when hitting it to get rid of the slice. Saw some improvement there, so it's promising.

Got my first tee time of the year. Playing East Mountain CC in Westfield, MA on Sunday morning. We're supposed to get into the 50s that day so it should be pleasant enough.

I bought one of these for cold weather and man, is it warm. It's made for golf so the sides have just panels instead of bulky down. Just two undershirts and I'm swinging freely.

I like that. It looks comfy.

I think we might be past the season for it here, but I do need more midweather type shirts for golf

Think I'm going to play more this year than I have three last 10 years combined. I set up a friends golf "league" that will go to a new course each month. Just hoping it gets some good participation.

Played Tuesday. Shoulder was bothering me, but was still able to swing ok. Started off with a bit of a hook on my drives, straightened out, and ended with a slice. I think it was just complacency. Irons went fairly straight. I overshot greens with 8-AW clubs, though.

80 bucks on ebay so not too bad. It is really warm.

Playing 18 at the home course on Sunday. We open officially tomorrow for walking.

Dang that course is sick!!!

Will do... Though I haven't swung a club all season yet.

Tried to go to the range on Saturday went to 3 but all were completely full.

Stupidly didn't try Granite Links thinking it was gonna be mobbed. Big mistake I guess

Dammit! I hit too many wedges off of my shitty driveway mat and fucked up my right elbow. I think it's feeling better today but I haven't been able to swing for a few days. Got a tee time for Wednesday so fingers crossed that it clears up by then.

The course is starting to green up. We opened officially last week but they've just started to mow. The conditioning of my home course at peak season is amazing.

Played alone last Wednesday during the day....what a blast. Cruising along without having to carry is a just a joy. I shot an 83 off of one ball though I took a few re-hits for practice.
