Learning and Applying TGM w/disabilities by a 21 hcp.

[JerryG]

I will think of each of you as I do my first ever "Paxon Hollow Thanksgiving Scramble!"

Sleet and 45 degrees as the high is predicted. I have:

long underwear laid out
snow pants
a heavy sweater
a fleece pullover
waterproof golf shoes and wooly socks
4 "10 hour" chemical hand warmers
a fleece hood

I will be Hitting, I think, and playing Lynn's "Driver" video while sipping a little adult beverage. "Another perfect shot...another perfect shot!" Is that what Lynn keeps saying? "Same as the last. Same as the last...,"imitating Moe Norman.


God Bless Everyone!

City,
If it were 45 here it would be downright balmy and we'd be in bermuda shorts with possibly a bit of a wind shirt.
Buck up, Bucko!

Subject: Men are so Sensitive!

The room was full of pregnant women with their partners. The class was in full swing. The instructor was teaching the women how to breathe properly and was telling the men how to give the necessary assurance to their partners at this stage of the pregnancy.

She said "Ladies, remember that exercise is good for you. Walking is especially beneficial. It strengthens the pelvic muscles and will make delivery that much easier." Just take several stops and stay on a soft surface like grass or a path.

She looked at the men in the room, "and Gentlemen, remember -- You're in this together -- It wouldn't hurt you to go walking with her.

The room suddenly got very quiet as the men absorbed this information.

Then a man at the back of the room slowly raised his hand.

"Yes, answered the Instructor.

"I was just wondering if it would be all right if she carries a golf bag while we walk??

---- This kind of sensitivity just can't be taught.

Chances are it would build muscles and character.

LMFAO! They could push a walking cart!

Well, it was beautiful outside. Cold and breezy as the front came in and then it started to SNOW. I played well and I noticed that with an open stance, Hula left, and FBRW (Frozen Bent Right Wrist) my balance is much better, direction and power are better, and I actually started feeling the center of my driver compress the ball. ( I recall Kevin and Jerry pointing out to me the benefits of an open stance and forward ball position )

Our group was thrown together, with two women. One girl, a competitive snowboarder stood to the ball in a snowboarding stance. Her boyfriend, an NBA sized -power-forward type, swung hard. Both flipped at the bottom. My partner for the day was an avid bow hunter. She confessed that she had won seven Florida state archery titles but was a terrible golfer.

When I explained to all of them the importance of the FBRW, after I teed off on the first hole (260 with a slight draw leaving 100 yards to the pin) and after they asked, was the importance of the FBRW. The archer got it right away saying "Oh, you mean the right hand is like a clamp, like an archer's clamp?" The snowboarder, big guy, and the archer simply swung their clamps! The girls were quite delighted hitting the ball much straighter and further with drives to chips. The 6-5" /230 lb. muscular young man, started hitting a straight ball and not his slice.

We used my ball for 4 drives. The young man was outdriving me by 40 yards or so , regularly. We only used two of his drives since he parked several 8 irons over the greens on par 3's or pushed or pulled his drive out of play. And the girls,out drove us both on 4 holes! Spinning rotors! Snowboarding stance, archery grip, sound familiar?

It started to sleet on hole 6 and it was pouring on hole 8. We stopped at nine.

Quite fun! Happy Thanksgiving!

Well, I am embarrassed . . .

Today at Cuscowilla in Eatonton, Georgia, it was sunny with a high of 77*. Cools off for the still sunny weekend, though, with highs Saturday and Sunday of only 62* and 66*.

Wish you guys 'way up north' were 'way down here'!

Normally, the Master's is a pretty big deal at our club. This year, the week after the Master's will be my big deal.

Happy Holidays Mr. and Mrs. Blake!

Used to live in Raleigh, NC and then Charleston, SC -- I sure do miss the weather at this time of year!

Hi City,

[innercityteacher]

Hi City,

Pretty convincing victory. It might be different on a dry field, though.
Hope you had a good holiday.
