Got an appt booked with an orthopedic surgeon on June 20 to get my knee checked out. It was a mess all indoor season moving equipment and loading the truck, to the point where my hip is now sore due to overcompensation. My primary doc thinks it may be due to my torn meniscus around 10 years ago but the ortho will be able to better determine what's going on and what the process will be. It's the same guy who did my dad's total knee a few years ago, and he did an awesome job with him. Fingers crossed at most it's just a scope or something to clean things out, vs anything major. Even better would just be PT, but we shall see... I want to try and get in as much golf now as I can just to play it safe!!!

Hope it is a scope procedure for you.  I have same problem bad knees, compensate and get hip pain.  Getting a GelSyn shot to last for the summer may work for you.  I’m looking forward to my knee replacement.

I’m pretty happy with my bag makeup so for lack of an equipment I thought I’d try some paint fill on a wedge. I added some color to match the BB and F Co ferrule. 😄

Had to bring my cart in to the shop this morning, V belt needs replacement.  It sounds like a 6 lb Pot Bellied Pig getting its tail pulled!  I figured while it was there do the yearly Service also as Drive belt is included.  When I got there they were up front and told me that the OEM belt from Yamaha we’re back ordered with no delivery soon but had a replacement that they would stand behind if there  were any problems.  They said that the belt is not the only part with supply chain issues, I didn’t see that coming.  
Of course I did the replacement belt, I’ve had only great service from this Garage.  They do free loaners so that helps.  
Got it back in a few hours so good to go.

That's a phrase @ole gray would be proud of. I'm glad they got your cart taken care of and hopefully it'll be purring like a kitten for the foreseeable future.

Hopefully it'll just be a minor procedure and you'll be up and playing sooner rather than later.

I’ve never looked so crappy at 25-75 yard shots.  Grabs the club head and slams it shut… the on-lookers were probably laughing and thinking about offering me a free “lesson”… I looked like I had never seen a golf club before, pretty embarrassing.

Well, today I made it to 39 years old (17 years longer than I expected((dirt bikes, dangerous things…)).  To celebrate I’m headed to play 18.  Hopefully I can shoot a par of 39’s.  Seems unlikely, but one can wish. 

Happy Birthday!!  Play well.  You are 2 days older than I am... +36 years!!  😂

It's probably the one time I don't mind my tendency to have a farmer's swing.  Not that any farmer would actually swing a club this way but it does remove sod exposing soil where planting is possible.  Ball may not go far but onto short grass is far enough out of that stuff. 

Had considered sharpening the bottom leading edge of the club to cut through the vegetation but with how often it goes the other way and balls hit thin it would cause a different kind of slice than usual.  

(No golf balls were harmed in the making of this comment. Any resemblance to actual golf is purely coincidental.)

I used to practice my swing with a farmers long handle sickle. Instead of running a weed eater I would go around the property with the sickle using my golf swing until I couldn't swing it anymore. Totally amazed that I didn't cut my leg off or loose any toes. Worked on my golf swing and cleaned the property at the same time!  I still have that sickle in my shed. 

(Everything was harmed that got in my way!)
