Happy thread

[bens197 5,889]

Been less than active around here lately for several reasons, none of which having to do with any of you.

I herniated the space between L4&L5 and haven’t been able to golf since early August.  Just a bummer since this is the absolute best time to play on the NE.  Team that up with a  constant cycle of vitriol everywhere you look and I can say without reserve that this past week has been the best in months.  

My wife, daughter and I took our first vacation since December to Lake Placid.  That was good for the happy thread

A few things to be happy about.
 
We’re coming out of lockdown and I got to take my daughter out for a drink 

 
Got my stitches out and everything is good. Next step is I’ve been referred to the statewide clinic that does nothing but look at people with skin issues like mine

 
Lastly, my wife and I got away for a couple of nights for the first time in about 6 months. Went down to Victoria’s Great Ocean Road, a couple of hours drive from home.For any of you thinking of having a trip to Australia it’s a must do. It was almost surreal how quiet it was, with Melbourne still locked down and no interstate or international visitors. 
The views from our accommodation was stunning.

 
 
 
 

Lots of great stuff there.’

Happy National daughter day to my caddy and my youngest child. She is my zen on the course and my future Senior Circuit looper.


And also to my middle child, the one that keeps me sane in the chaos that is my house.

That is the first tee time since we went back into lockdown. I could cry right now I'm so happy

Happy to see something I shipped to @ejgaudette arrived and in good shape. Also happy to see wedges I tested that I am not using go to good use by a forum member.

Thanks again, looking forward to using them this weekend

My neighbors agreed to help me out with the rip-rap situation.  The state offers 0% funding opportunities if more than one property owner wants to get the work done.  The neighbors south of me already did it, and the neighbors directly north of me want nothing to do with it.  But, a few houses down they are getting the rocks done.  
 

Good news!

Recently I had a love /relationship with my driver - I kept skying the ball 3-4 times a round. Took a lesson a couple of weeks ago and my instructor immediately figured out the issue. On my last three rounds, I've been hammering the ball right down the middle. Now I've got to work on the rest of the bag

My youngest son was out hitting bombs in the yArd today with his driver.  He comes in and said dad... I need a new wedge.

So now I am looking for a wedge for a 6 year old.

Share please!  I hit 3, what I would call good drives today; 2 on the front nine and shot even par; i on the back nine and shot +8.  

I don't sky the ball though, so your fix probably won't help me.  Dang!

Have you had runoff issues or just decorative?

Waterfront, The prevailing waves are from the south, neighbors put the rocks in and destroyed my property in short.

not decorative for sure, I can’t stand the way they look.  A necessity now thanks to the neighbors.  They didn’t do their research, and the project was started before I bought the place.

Ah yes that’ll do it.

It was related to 2 things: my backswing - too steep and I had all of my weight on my heels.

Got home today from a trip out west and spent tonight playing guitar with my son to patriotic country songs. Haven’t had this much fun with guitar since college. My son’s dream is a commission to West Point so there were some tears. Not to mention I have barely touched a guitar since college.

Gender Reveal was a great success.
