I'm stoked.

But all my golfing buddies are still a bit anxious about everything so they don't want to go out even though weather looks to be perfect.

EDIT: I'm fine with them not wanting to go by the way, totally understand. After re-reading I just didn't want to come off as if I was mad about it.

I'm going to try and go out late on Saturday and hope to fly through by myself.

I created a crappy little par three hold in my backyard last weekend because I was going so stir crazy.

Happy to be able to get out again.

Here was what I setup by the way.

Yes, those are two cornhole boards in the field. With the elevation drop, they weren’t shots of more than 75 yards but the target practice was fun.

Hit the boards a bunch but only got one straight in.




I did overcook my first shot because I underestimated how short it truly was but no worries because I found the ball the next day when walking the dog in the parking lot of the apartments.

Hoping to hit the range at some point this week to swing the clubs for the first time in months. Don't know what it's going to look like, but it'll be better than not looking like anything.

Have been able to get out twice in a row, and planning another this Saturday with my dad. It's been pretty crazy for my dad considering he had a heart bypass just last November, and is already swinging like normal. It's been incredible for us.

My golf game is in a good spot, I am in the single digits finally at a 9.7, and that has to go towards shortening my golf swing completely. I hit the ball just as far, if not farther, and get better compression on it as a result. Just have to shore up my chipping and putting.

8:17 tee time Saturday morning at one of my favorite courses to play, Wooded View Golf Course.

I don't care if I shoot 200, I'm just glad to be getting back out on the course.

Played for the first time this year last Wednesday at a course half-way between where I live and where my parents live. Met my dad there for 18 holes. Hit some good shots, some bad shots. But it was nice to be out there.

And I just found out that one of Wisconsin's highly ranked courses, the Lawsonia Links course, is having a promotion on Tuesdays where you can pay whatever you want to for greens fees. It's rated No. 58 on America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses list by Golf Digest. Seems like the best time to give it a go.

Lawsonia is a hell of a golf course. Love that track.

Made it out to the range last week. It was definitely rusty and I gave up trying to hit my 3-iron, as the long-irons are the first to go after I've had a long layoff. Which is a shame because I had them in a good place before all the lockdowns hit.

It felt great to be out there. Everyone out there had a big smile on their face even if they were shanking them left-and-right. Sunlight and fresh air are good for the soul.
