Had to turn my heat on today. Mid 40’s and pouring down rain and my house was 58 when I got home from a quick overtime shift. It’s cold but I was in the rain all day maybe that’s why I had to turn it on. I wanted to golf today but pouring down rain in the 40’s is pushing it even for a fat kid like me.

Whaaaat??!?!?!!!!   I had you up on a pedestal, a Nov 1 holdout like I would love to be......

and you only held out 8 hours longer than me from turning on the furnace?!?!  😩

It’s set to a whopping 60 degrees just so it’s not in the 50’s in my house. I’ll be in Maine for November 1 so my house will be set to 58 since I won’t be home

I got the house up to 68 (ok just the kitchen and dining room) by leaving the stove open after cooking this evening…..that counts for something right?!

I’m probably as old as your Buddy’s parents and remember that well.  
When I was growing up heat was coal fired furnace, this was every house.  When oil fired furnaces came in it was a freakin luxury!   
It was cool being a kid watching the coal delivery to the house basement!  We lived about 1 mile from the coal tower where the train delivered the coal.  
Parents/Grandparents need to pass on their experiences better.

They are about 60 now. They had steam radiators, they literally just didn’t want to pay for the oil and thought this would be cheaper but in reality it’s not. Better to maintain a temp throughout the house than crank the stove.

See the people in the city do it because they spend their money on drugs or alcohol not just because they are cheap. Addicts only ever have that one thing on their mind

We just bought a new house...on a golf course. This is a little weird, because it's one of my least liked courses in the area! (Pebble Creek, Cincinnati, above the 15th green) However, it's otherwise a great fit for us: major downsize (house and lot), one level living, right area (only a mile from our current place, and we love the area), friends right across the street, good price (we expect to net out a small profit after we sell our current house), and we got a great mortgage rate (4.45%). We will be doing some remodeling to suit our tastes, and that will more than take any net profit we make after the two closings.

Perhaps the most remarkable thing is that we made our offer without my wife ever being in the house. She's on an extended trip to help her mother move. This house came up, and at the open house Saturday I walked through with my phone on video moving it around to her orders. She thoroughly quizzed the agent, and was pleased with the answers. We knew there was no way the house would not sell before she came home (10th), and she made the decision to make an offer. I am quite stunned that she felt comfortable enough to do this, and I pray that she doesn't have any regrets once she actually sees it.

Nothing feels better or warms quicker than coming in from outside work on a cold Feb day and standing in front of a 650* coal stoker that is cranking out 100,000 btu's!

My grandparents house had the basement coal bin that was filled thru the front window.  It was a little dusty down there though.  They used the larger 'nut' or 'stove' size coal that had to be shoveled.  Since we use smaller chips of 'rice' coal I came up with a fix for the dust issue by having an outside coal bin and using my shop vac to move the coal through a 2" pipe to an inside barrel over the coal hopper.  It works like a solids separator on a dust collector so no coal dust in the basement!

Every house in my area has coal bins in them

Yup, I remember the coal bins, the fire and coal delivery which all neighborhood kids loved to watch.  
My Dad and my uncle dug out the basement (it was dirt) had concrete floor pored and then converted to oil furnace.  I’m figuring 1950-1952.  My cousins and me obviously helped 😱.

One of the houses we moved in to when I was a kid had a coal bin .. and yeah a lotta black dust! .. in the basement, but someone else previously had put in an oil-fired central furnace. And presumably the concrete floor, too!

The walls in that room were still that older rough stone mix, though, and would crumble if you rubbed it .. so my Dad and I covered the inside with ThoroSeal, I think it was called, to well seal from outside moisture seepage and form a "skin" to hold the stone mix in place. Fun times 🤪

As someone who struggles with the mental part of the game, it really amazes me how during practice that part of my brain kicks off. I was chipping at the course today and was totally relaxed, getting creative, and just having fun. I was making some good shots, too. They weren't all perfect, but that didn't matter since all but two were still on the green. 

I've got to figure a way to get into that mindset on the course, maybe come up with some mini games to try.

I have the most fun on days when I practice when I am working on my short game. I love to try new things, but also like to see how good I can get at the staples of my game.  More practice = more confidence and it will eventually work into your game on the course.

Short game practice is probably my favorite form of practice. Today I was working on stock shots and experimenting on things I can and cannot do. I was hitting out of thick rough, over a bunker to a tight pin, flops, etc...

Not having the pressure to score really lets one just open up and have fun.

LOL!  I always spend time hitting out of thick rough over our practice bunker.  I've actually gotten pretty good with it; not good when I started doing it.

Coming into the ball from the inside on a pitch shot is a great way to practice full-swing shots; it's just a mini full-swing shot, and it's easier to sync-up the arms and body movements.  I started with my sand wedge, then moved up to my PW, then 9i...  as I improved.  If I started putting poor swings on a club, then I dropped back a club.  Once, I even went back to square one!!  🤣

One of the shots I didn't hit well was one of those where I was buried in grass. I attempted to hit a steep shot while stabbing at the ball and it ended up in the bunker. I wish they would care for the practice bunkers better because they were trashed and there's no rake near them. (Now that I'm thinking about it, why didn't I just go grab the one on 9 and give it a smoothing?) I hit the shot out, but over the green. 

I need to try some pitch shots with 8&9 irons. I'll go all the way up to PW, but haven't ventured further up in the bag. I really like throwing shots to 50 yards with the set GW, it's become one of my favorite clubs for near and around the green.

Sir Dude - those seemingly simple observations that you made right there are the key, IMHO, to the essence of the "mental game"!!

.. When we are in practice mode and so take the *performance pressure* off of ourselves .. and as a result we are way less tense and way more relaxed .. then we can become one with the ball nahnahnahnah... 😄

Ha but really one thing I'm trying to do while playing (and I have been practicing more than playing recently, and my practice is typically predominantly short game = wedges + putting) is to remind myself to put my attention on the process of executing the shot at hand .. and NOT on the result of that shot...

...

...as an aside that very thing, "process", held me back from making progress in golf - partly due to my work life in the investment industry where the only thing anyone gives a s#*! about are results 🤷‍♂️

You hit the nail on the head there, I think sometimes we get all caught up in the results because we're wired to work that way and forget about the process. That's the bad thing about a results driven world, we forget to have fun while we're doing something that's meant to be fun. 

Sometimes I really miss the childlike wonder we had when we were younger. There was no fear hitting a shot, it was all about having fun and seeing if we could pull off certain things. I pulled off things when I started the game at 18 that I couldn't now that I'm better educated at the game.

We weren't in coal country when I grew up; lumber mills all over the place.  I grew up in a house that had a wood cooking stove in the kitchen that heated the entire house.  We would get a truckload of "planer ends" from the mill; my job was to stack them in the shed and split some into kindling.  I remember that it got mighty cold by morning when the fire went out in the middle of the night!!!

It has been actually forever since I have gone to a concert or show. However that is about to change! During some browsing for my wifes birthday gift I found out one of my all time favourite bands will be here in Zurich in November with another band I really enjoy. So I decide why the hell not and bought tickets to Shinedown. Accompanying them will be Asking Alexandria and Zero 9:30 (last band I had never head of before, but he isn't bad). Really excited to go see them live as again I haven't really done this type of thing for probably 10 years and the ticket prices were more than reasonable. 

Oh and for those interested in my wife got front row Backstreet Boys tickets and was over the moon haha....

Being off forums for most of the last 3 days and then catching up last night and this morning. 
 

I’m sure I may be a lone wolf in this statement and I’m good with that. Forums just aren’t exciting anymore and there were 3-4 threads here that I even cared to open up. One thread had several ignored posts and I ended up skimming that thread because of the quoted posts I could see.

Time on golf forums for me is about to be down significantly

That sounds like a good time. I saw Shinedown when they opened for 3 Doors Down years ago and thought they did good.

Minor update:  my daughter's prognosis is starting to look more positive...the cardiologist has come back and said he does NOT feel surgery is necessary.

Something is still amiss in that she's excessively fatigued and short of breath of late, and we're waiting a few more weeks for more tests and more results, but to hear that open-heart surgery is likely not necessary is a HUGE relief.

Needless to say, as high as the stress has been I haven't felt inclined to touch a club, or participate much here...apologies.  I'll do my best to remedy that in the coming days and weeks.  

Hayes family is more important than the forum
