Golf Struggles

-

This last weekend I went golfing.  I was actually decently surprised with how well I played overall. I hit my shots pretty well off the tee as well as my intermediate shots.  Everything was going okay until I made it to the green.  I couldn't sink a par or birdie putt to save my life.  To make matters worse it seemed as if every putt I missed had a chance to go in but I just barely missed seemingly every time.  Then today I went to the putting green and what do you know, the same thing happened.  Almost every time I needed to make a putt I barely missed.

With all this being said I think it's important in life to always find the silver linings.  In my putting struggles the silver lining would be that I'm improving in all the other aspects of the game.  I think its important to try to find the positive in what would seem to be a negative situation.  Would it be nice to be able to make a putt every once in a while? Yes, no doubt.  But you got to stay positive when you're trying to get better and finding the silver lining in every situation is a good way to do so.

    Golf is one of those sports. Everything can be on, but that one part of your game that isn't can be detrimental. ONU's new chipping green should give you some more practice!

Thanksgiving Break

 My Thanksgiving break was less relaxing than it has been the previous 3 years.  I had to stay in Ada through Wednesday because I was scheduled to work both Monday and Tuesday. Then on Wednesday I drove two and a half hours east for a job interview.  So I didn't get home until about 6:00pm on Wednesday evening.  Thanksgiving was still enjoyable though.  In my opinion Thanksgiving is the most underrated holiday.  This holiday involves two of my favorite things - football and food.  Three games of NFL football and what seems to be an endless amount of food to be eaten.  Then the cherry on top was that my favorite NFL team, the Minnesota Vikings, played the last game of the day and won.  Then on Friday I had another Thanksgiving celebration which meant more food.  I think people don't appreciate Thanksgiving as much as they should.  It seems like people are more focused on getting to Christmas and not so much on Thanksgiving which I am not a fan of.

Music

 My music tastes have really changed over the past year and a half.  For most of my life up until summer of 2021 the main artists I would listen to was J Cole, Chance the Rapper, Kendrick Lamar and Logic.  Then summer of 2021 I had a job that I was able to listen to music the whole time so I started listening to a different style of rap.  Artists like Future, Lil Baby and Lil Durk were at the top of that list.  For the rest of the year up until last summer the music I listened to consisted of predominantly those three artists as well as J Cole.  Then this summer I did a lot of driving which made me venture into country music.  Artists like Morgan Wallen, Jordan Davis, Luke Combs and Rodney Atkins became the main country artists I listened to.   I like the current state of music that I listen to compared to a few years ago.  There is a lot more variety which prevents different artists and styles from becoming stale quickly.  I like being able to go from trap rap to country in back to ba

Squatober End

Last Monday was the end of another great month of squatting everyday.  If you don't know about Squatober, go back to my blog from a couple weeks ago.  Squatober is basically just back squatting everyday in October.  This month has once again produced a personal record (PR) for myself.  Before October my PR on the back squat was 455 pounds, then on Monday I was able to squat 475 pounds.  20 pounds may not seem like a lot but a 20 pound increase in one month is crazy progress and that is what Squatober is all about.  It was a really fun month and challenge to participate in and has made me even more excited for my training.
