Minor setback.

Not a great day. 😣

But no reason to sound alarm.

Shot a 46 in league and just didn't keep score on back 9 non-league play.

Just tried to put 2 shots together to no avail really.

But mostly my biggest mistake was before round started today. Been hitting the at home range consistently for 45 minutes to an hour about 4 times a week in between play. Been feeling good!

HUGE mistake this morning, shower as usual hit the Blu Emu rub on shoulder and back and wrist(tough being old).😁 Then said "you know I'm feeling pretty good, best I have felt in a long time".

Since I have had the junk in my shoulder since 2003 and got back playing about 1 year and half after that always took from 800 to 1000 mg of ibuprofen before I played. NOPE not today , I'm feeling like superman! NOT a good decision. Not only did I stiffen up, but when that happens you start to swing and affect other parts of you body from compensating for stiffness and pain.

Now I am sore in about 5 different spots, UGH!

Was suppose to play 18 tomorrow at my favorite little honing course, CANCELED!

So, I guess 46 is not all that bad considering not playing better golf through chemistry!😋

Anyone want to take bets when I will go out and play without taking 1000 mg of ibuprofen again?

NEVER AGAIN.

Thanks listening to me beat myself up.

UPSIDES:

In the past an off day would have been 50+ and to have this today and still 46, I know it's because of the changes in game.

Driving today was the most accurate of the year! Figure that out? Think I was probably swinging way easier and didn't loose any distance. And probably because of teed up. No resistance from ground like irons, my belief anyway.

Your are so right but I would like to at least keep the ball in bounds and playable to give the short game a chance.

Replying to

@Tom Saguto Absolutely about ownership of our swing. But for sure with those of us who been playing since they had wooden shafts!😮😁

Yes, I like everything I am learning and things to incorporate into my swing. But as you said, I have to make it work for my swing and make the proper adjustments for my situation.

Playing on a course I never played before Tuesday, should be good tune-up for Wednesday league and match play.

But did do some indoor work today, first thing was got back to 2:8 drill. Then found out with some tweaks and experimentation. Can't have a big tilt but definitely shoulder turn with take away. But biggest thing I found (and will see on the course and outdoor range warmup how it goes,) was I am more consistent KFC when go down the line a bit more on takeaway rather then coming behind the the line on takeaway. Crazy as it seems it seems to agree with bionic shoulder. So that will be focus on Tuesday's practice round, Those things I mentioned and playing smart Golf.(club choices and shot choices)

@GolfLivesMatter My short game is my saving grace, 2 chip ins this year already and starting to really get use to new putter. Bit heavier then old one but gives a nice feel and touch.

Happy fathers Day to all you dad's!🏌️
