Went to the range today for the first time in a good while! And my swing felt great. How’s everyone’s game looking and what are you working on?

Let's be honest. Golf is not real life. For a long time, I fought that... But now that I have accepted the idea that it ISN'T everything, now it can be what it is. A beautiful thing, that just so happens to take over 4 hours to play, plus countless hours of practice and preparation to be any good. Oh and plenty of $. But that is what it is. It's something that can be all consuming, and often is. And it can be a way to simply engage our minds and bodies and be in companionship. Scores don't mean anything. Unless you make them mean something. What is real life, then? Providing something to the world, not in an abstract way but to real people. Addressing what matters to them. In other words, sacrificing oneself and ones own selfish desires in order to actually step up and be more to other people than you are to yourself. That's my take, at least. Both golf, and real life, is a type of game, wherein the one who is most righteous doesn't always win, but one must couple righteousness and diligence with humility, long time horizons, a short term memory of misfortune, and appreciation for the blessings they receive. And a sense of wonder doesn't hurt either.

Have you guys noticed sleep quality correlated with performance? I know that when I have been run down for a few days on low quality/quantity sleep the coffee doesn't taste as good in the morning and I just want to go home if I go out and play golf. Curious about your guys' experiences!

For the past couple years I’ve transitioned into a shorter and very flat swing. My big in-to-out path means my follow through is at or right of the target when club is parallel. A very unique swing no doubt. Let me know what you think! I’m a very solid iron striker with a draw bias.

What are you guys looking to improve in your game? Or what is holding you back from the golf life you dream of? Is it not having the time to play as much as you’d like? Not having the money to play as much as you’d like? Not enjoying the game as much as you’d like? Not knowing how to improve? Not having good people (personality wise or skill wise) to play with? Other priorities? Physical pain/lack of strength or mobility? A lack of ROI when you go play? Your partner doesn’t want you to play golf? Something else???
