Is 280 just an arbitrary #, or is there some significance?

It got to 60 today.  Hard to play in that honestly.  Almost swinging freely but not quite.

 

Fired a 5 over on the front.  Playing better on the back.

 

On 16, I need to hit a tight little draw inder the tree.  I shank it onto a nearby green.  Take a drop and squeeze another low draw Over the tree but under the other tree.  That one was another hosel, but now I had an open shot.  50 yarder to 5’ and a bogey.

 

End up 5 over on the round.  I was playing well until the hosel came out to play.  For the record, I am not a hosel play guy so this is perplexing.

 

 

Congrats on the decent score Montana.

What was that your 4th outdoor round of the new season? Good Stuff P3P.

Getting it done early we see. It is evident there is no preseason rust. Your winter work in the sim is paying off right out of the gate. 🏌️‍♀️

 

Did it hit 55* today out there? Any snow left on the course in shady spots? 

 

Thanks for the recap.

We are about 50 miles as the crow flies from the Pacific Time zone so my first year out here I was fishing the evening hatch not thinking about where I had parked my car.  The access locked up at 10PM, and I came out of the woods at 11 and I was locked in!  I had never thought that it stayed light until 10:30PM.  It really is great.

 

If you haven't gathered after 202 pages I have these odd tangential thoughts with nowhere to put them, and this Monday is no different.

 

On Friday I read an article about the medical uses of mushrooms, or particularly psylocibin (sp?).  There is also a documentary on ESPN+ but I haven't seen it.  But with the increased awareness of CTE and the resulting depression and anger which accompanies it, and the Netflix documentary Dopesick, the premise I suspect is pretty solid.  Sometimes I feel the Class A narcotic designation is way out of whack in this regard.  Now, I think if it is synthetic psylocibin then I do believe it should be Class A, but these organic mood alterers should be studied.  The Native Americans used them all the time.  Obviously, addiction is real but I am not sure making them illegal will hinder those individuals with an addictive bent.

 

Anyway, Wake is the name of the company and the story follows ex-athletes to a mushroom retreat in Jamaica.  The participants eat mushrooms, do some therapy to discuss their individual trip and by the reported accounts say the experience was life changing.  And, they weren't getting hooked on a cocktail of opiates.  They were able to disassociate their conscious being which led to to the depression, fear and anger and see themselves as who they wanted to be.  I thought it was a very thought provoking article.  I am attaching a link to it here.  It is pretty long, but Kevin is very thorough in creating the sense of person and the resulting effects.

you’d enjoy the book “how to change your mind” by michael pollan

 

absolutely fascinating read on psychedelics, their history, myriad uses, and cognitive benefits.

Not at ALL!  I was referencing your post about 2 weeks ago that said, "I need to get a life" with the screenshot of the posts.

I enjoy all the posts in this thread... if I didn't I wouldn't still be here.

Sunny skies and 58*. Winds 5-10 mph. Where did the upper 70's temperatures go? I feel like I haven't touched a club in a long while so I'm giving myself a 90 minute practice session prior to my 2 PM Tee Time. Not sure what to expect out of my game but grateful to be playing. 🙂
