At home with the Madsens. Our son Walker is home from college and will be doing his Spring quarter “virtually”. He is thriving as a graphic design student and professional with billable hours. He’s only been home for two days, but I have learned much from him in rousing conversations. He is on top of “everything” it seems with definite opinions that I appreciate (most of the time). I believe our dog Chloe is enjoying having the house full all day long. Barb is keeping herself busy with workouts, yard work, and projects around the house. She is not working as YMCA in Mission Valley is, of course, shutdown. Our fridge and freezer are well stocked thanks to Valley Farm Market and Windmill Farms Market. My home office is ship shape for the first time in years. I am currently working from there on, among other things, learning USGA: Tournament Management software in preparation for serving the Singing Hills Member events upon reopening. I have been reading a wonderful book on leadership and teamwork called Legacy by James Kerr, which was recommended to me by the Director of Player Development for the SDSU baseball team. Player development…I like the sounds of that. Elbows enjoying the rest and this: CB5 Golf Roll On. I am also studying wellness and longevity with the help of The Plant Paradox book, and another called 30 More Summers. In my spare time I thought I would write to you. Be well. Hope to see you very soon.
Sheltering at homework I want you to ponder these questions. Each has to do with facets of golf from tee to green. If you’d like you can email me your thoughts.
- On tee of par 4 or par 5, should you care about the yardage of the entire hole? Why would it matter, or not?
- In the General Area (see Rule 2), when considering what club to use does the lie of the ball, or yardage more so dictate club selection?
- Around the greens, why would you want to use a longer club and tend toward low running shots?
- In putting, what are the two most important things regarding “launch”?
