I’ll make it short and sweet – I’ve had no time in recent weeks with work & family commitments (this season is always busy around the home but this year, doubly so) to maintain the blog, so I am putting it on hiatus until I can do so in proper fashion.
I want to thank everyone who has supported the blog and if you wish to be alerted when I begin to post again, I would just ask you to follow the blog and you will receive an email alert when I begin posting once more.
I realized today with a bit of a shock that I haven’t posted a blog for a week.
There’s nothing wrong, in case anyone is wondering – just busy at the moment with other things to attend in life, as well as spending my golf time working on the upcoming video.
After a winter off and having had to even take swinging indoors off for a few weeks (rib injury unrelated to golf), I am stoked to get the new season underway.
Right now, having no nearby place to hit balls indoors (as the Metro Golf Dome was destroyed by a record snowfall and is out of commission for the foreseeable future), I am patiently awaiting the outdoor season to arrive.
I’ve made good use of the 2019 WAX Golf fundraising drive already – after a lifetime of PC usage and years of Android smartphone usage, I’ve sprung for an iPhone with which to shoot all of my 2019 swing clips!
At this point, I’m not very impatient with the fact that my cracked ribs are still too painful (translation: not yet healed) to allow me to swing, because the place where I was to test-drive the new MCS Golf Swing of mine… has collapsed beneath the weight of a record snowfall.
Update: For those who have passed on well-wishes, I have been put on a couple of inhalers and the likely culprit is asthma, which wouldn’t be a huge shock considering I’ve had chronic bronchitis most of my lift. Such are things, moving on!
I was planning on getting into the Dome this week or the next, to get a little taste of what the 2019 DJ Swing was going to look and feel like, and I hope to still get out next week.
The delay is a health-induced one – I mentioned being under the weather during the Christmas season, but things have been a little more serious.
Just a note that the blog is not going anywhere, and that if you find all of the posts before a certain time have disappeared, no cause for alarm!
I will be removing most of my historical posts, as I do from time to time, either because they are out-dated or because they are clogging up the feed. The most relevant and popular posts will be re-posted once I’ve a chance to review or update them.
I have been working on my MCS Golf Swing model since the season began again, and the first half-dozen sessions I’ve had were just to try to tune my swing to the optimal model’s stance and mechanics.
I did get into the 180’s in ball speed mph last summer once I was into the swing of things, but of course that’s after a few weeks of work, so I knew I wouldn’t be that high yet just getting into the season.
I would give that advice to anyone who is playing regular golf and has any pain or nagging soreness issues.
In fact, and perhaps it’s because I have scoliosis and am very careful about hurting my back, I always listen to what my body is telling me when it comes to pain or soreness.
Well, we are firmly in winter’s icy grip here in the hinterlands (this morning dropped to -25C or -13F, but it’s already back up to a balmy -18 at the moment), and I have visions of green grass and warm blue skies to keep me warm as the New Year approaches.
Happy New Year to those for whom it has already arrived in the Far East and South Pacific!
