What is filling the void for you during the Tour shutdown? (NO CORONAVIRUS RELATED POSTS)

A wonderful little poker app called "Pineapple" poker. Phenomenal. Play heads up against buddies for $.25 to $1.00 a point. Absolute blast.

Putting, putting, putting. Perhaps the only good thing that will come from this quarantine is that maybe - just maybe - I'll gain the smallest amount of competence with the flatstick. Doubtful, but may as well try - don't have anything else to do these days...

I bought Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12 for the ol' PS3 shortly before this whole thing started. In-game, my character is making waves as top of the season leaderboard in his first year on the PGA tour...sponsorships from brands like Adidas, Bridgestone (my favorite ball the E6 is in the game, though I haven't unlocked it yet), Ping, and Cleveland. Too bad EA knocked the servers out on that, I'd love to play with a few of you guys over the internet if that were an option.

Finding interest in sports I never had any interest in before, lol

Rewatched the Orange Bowl and Fiesta Bowl from the 94 & 95 college football seasons today. Also have been watching quite a few Duke-North Carolina basketball games.

Also had a pretty intense sword fight with the grandson this morning!?

[bladehunter]

Yard work. Years and years of yard work. Leaf chopping after raking from all the beds. Replanting some plants that we dug up this morning. You know. Fun.

[i*windows]

I like growing chillis and tomatoes with hydroponics :-)

 

[Roadking2003]

Wow! I've always wanted to do hydroponics. Tell me more.

[Roadking2003]

We've been painting. We completed three rooms already.

[MK7Golf21]

I turn on golf channel and watch 100 reruns in a day of the s7k stand alone putter commercial.

[deadsolid...shank]

Isolation has to end, the wife convinced me to get her a dog. I’m afraid what might be next!

I played 9 on Friday and 18 yesterday. Today it was too cold so took a hike instead.

[bscinstnct]

Nice, been bike riding a lot but went for a walk today instead. Being cooped up in NY is rough but at least the big park in BK has a little nature. Then I saw some guys working out in this area with pull-up bars and stuff so I even got some pull-ups and dips done ; )

Studying Machine Learning in python and lots of dog walks. Missing the gym has been the hardest part for me more so that the tour. I've got adjustable dumbbells up to 65lbs at home with no bench, so my weight lifting routine is suffering. Lots of unilateral work, but I sure do miss heavy back squats and deads...

[MK7Golf21]

Put a board up against wall and carpet for incline bench. That’s what I’ve been doing. You can do squats with the 65’s in high reps, guaranteed to make you sore

[bscinstnct]

No gym is brutal. Been googling all kinds of body weight stuff that resembles weights/requires lower rep range. Wish I had even 65s, might have to order stuff.

 

If you haven’t already, for legs you could try.

 

Goblet squats

One legend box squats

All kinds of lunges with dumbbells

Romanian deadlifts, at least work posterior chain a bit even with 130 lbs.

Reading George Plimpton's "the Bogey Man."

When I finish that, I'm going to try something by Rick Reilly. Anything with humor.

The final round of the 2018 Valspar was just interrupted by a new conference by our County Executive (he's a golfer, and has improved the two county golf courses).

I sort of missed Paul Casey winning the tournament in 2018, so I was looking forward to watching today.

So, when the County Executive came on, I bought a Square Strike wedge - for Sh$ts and giggles. I actually play most all of my close pitches and chips with a putting stroke, using my 9, PW and SW as a putter. It works.

But I have a league team mate who has trouble from sand. As a matter of fact, he is mental from a bunker. Maybe a putting stroke with the 55* or 60* Square Strike helps him? (Yes, sucker me, I bought all three!)

My girlfriend uses a chipper. Maybe the 45* or 55* Square Strike works better?

Right - too much time on my hands. I'm about to take a 9-iron and 3 Birdie Balls and find a field where I can make my first swings after shoulder surgery in November. 40*, why not.

Man, I haven't done yard work since I was a kid. Then my parents divorced and haven't had a back yard to call my own since. I dream of owning a detached home with a yard so I can have some of that fun you're having. CONDOS ARE LAAAAAAME!!

As for activities to enjoy, now that the roads are virtually empty I suggest any of you proper drivers (automobile) go and take your weapon of choice out for a spirited drive. My Civic Si is in its happy place this weekend.

[shakey]

Plenty of practice at my driving range.

At home I’ve been catching up on tv shows.

Titans Season 2

Swamp Thing Season 1

Next up is either Doom Patrol or Westworld Season 1

[gvogel]

where I live (NY State), everything is shut down. That includes driving ranges. Steve Mnuchin is talking about a response that will last 3 - 4 months.

Sorry, I am going to have to hit balls in late April, early May.

[Sean2]

Our range is still open, as well as the course. There is now 12 feet of space between each hitting station. It's been very busy. Not sure how long it will last though.

[Sean2]

Nice! I wish I had a bike, but for now my feet will have to do, lol.

Sorry about the lopsided photo.

[MountainGoat]

90 balls and 9 holes every day the weather allows and the course stays open.

 

[forrester_fire]

Anything over 9 reps is cardio, ha! I've switched to Bulgarian split squats for the time being. It's probably a superior lift in all honesty.

[MK7Golf21]

Lol, you would be surprised. Switch it up on your muscles and they don’t know what’s going on, gains. That’s what it’s all about

[bscinstnct]

Wow, now that’s nature. Meantime, with no gym, I might have to be a regular at the park workout crew. Not bad for an old man ; )

 

Sorry about my hair, need a haircut but my barber is closed!

 

[Steele47]

This pic takes me back to 1991 Palm Beach.

[Sean2]

I see you like just hanging around. :-)

I was lucky, I got to the barber the day before they closed.

[farmer]

A birdie ball into the wind with a short iron, and the ball will come back to you. Great sound, too.
