@MyGolfSpy Fred Couples and that unforgettable break on 12.

I like this Cam Young guy. DGAF.

[⛳️ 90 to 70 Golf 🏌️‍♂️ 📉 @90to70]

Have been taking a break from regular practice and play but somehow that didn’t stop me from shooting 75 today!

From the whites but still a record. Adjusted score 2.63.

Is leaving a broken plastic tee on the course littering?

After taking a week off from golfing, I don’t understand how anyone ever has time to go golfing.

Worst Approach since 2nd round 4.5 years ago! Have scaled back practice/play, and boy did I pay. ZERO greens.

Course is shit soggy. Greens recovering from plugs.

Keeping the project on cruise mode while I write my next book.

Today’s golfing Schadenfreude…

[Joe Pompliano @JoePompliano]

Callaway acquired Topgolf for $2 billion in 2020 but is now selling the business to a PE firm for $1.1 billion.

Same-venue sales are down double digits, higher rates have destroyed returns, and Callaway's stock is down 50% over 5 years.

Didn't run out of steam on back! Maybe anti-parasitics and stationary bike zone 2 have helped.

But 3-putted twice on back. Plugged sanded greens, so putting a wildcard.

Mud pit. Quad on 9th, even chipped in. Still energy problems. Don't know if it's cardio conditioning or diet or what. Experimenting.

Really need to fix energy management after diet/schedule changes. Just keep running out of steam on back 9s. (Especially last hole 😅)

Hard to complain shooting even on front. Buuut, back coulda been better.

FOUR birdies, 3 doubles, 6 bogeys, 5 pars. 0.1 shy of putting record.

Disappointing. Need more distance in this division and not sure how to practice for greens like this.
