Daylight Savings Time returns this Saturday night...which equals daylight til almost 8pm in the evening. We hope to see everyone on the golf course after work getting ready for the St. Patrick's Day Scramble on Saturday, 22nd. After this weekend, temperatures should return to a more seasonable ranges in the 50's and 60's.
I am down to 191 lbs as I weighed myself this morning. With 30 minutes of cardio, crunches and wallyball...I burned a few calories throughout the day. I didn't have any lingering effects from playing last night, so I hope to return to my leg workouts this weekend. I have been doing leg lifts in addition to the lunges just to work additional muscles in my legs.

Not a stellar debut...
I played my first round of golf on Sunday and even though I have hit very few golf balls this winter...I was very disappointed with my play. My first seven holes were just plain awful as I hit my old high and right shot 3-4 times...costing me at least 4-5 shots.
Finally, on my tee shot on #8, I felt my arms collapsing into my body on my downswing resulting in an inside/out swing path with an open club face. I saved a par on #8 from the bunker and struck the ball much better the rest of the way. I didn't miss a fairway on the back, other than putting it in the creek on #15. My power off the tee wasn't as good as it should have been, but I can work on that. The path was much improved as well as the clubface staying square.
My putting was not very good, especially from close range. I missed several short putts for birdie and par. I think this will improve on my next round as I didn't let the putter swing in my short putts. The result was a hold-on position with the clubface remaining open through the stroke. All of my misses were to the right.
An ugly 41 on the front with a 38 on the back nine. 3 penalty shots...3 three-putts and poor chipping/pitching.
I am about ready for my follow-up visit with Brian Mountjoy to begin some work on golf specific exercises. I hope to do that in the next two weeks. For now, still lots of cardio and continue my current weightlifting program.
My weight remained at 192 through the weekend as I had a huge dinner on Saturday evening with Andrea on Saturday evening. This diet thing is tough!!!
