“GUYS!!! Guys! I just made an EAGLE!” “No Money, No Matter, No Care” – Hur Jang One of my non-Korean friends was so excited when he made his first eagle. The Korean guy we were playing with, in a thick accent, cut him off – “no money, no matter, no care.” Of course we congratulated my friend on his eagle, and even took some pictures of the hole and the ball. But, we were not Read more…
Practicing golf = getting better at golf. This is fact. Accept it. Golf is Hard and Requires Practice For decades I refused to practice. To be clear, playing golf on an actual golf course is nothing like the range. The ball is never on a perfectly flat surface. Experience with hitting uphill, downhill, with the ball above our feet, below our feet, can only come with actually hitting different shots and different clubs on actual Read more…

During COVID, many got (back) into golf. GOOD GOOD as a YouTube channel rocketed above and beyond backyard trick shot videos with excellent videography and professional edits. One fresh aspect of their videos was the use of “tracers” so viewers could watch the balls fly through the air. While the group was talented, early on, there were some amazing shots caught on video. The group is known for their comradery and fun games (like their Read more…
My dad had Macular Degeneration which he described as a black spot in the middle of his field of vision. Just black. By moving around he still was able to drive, read, and live normally. But when there were indications of bleeding, he had to get shots (yes a needle injection into the eyeball!) and he definitely did not like those. The doctor strongly recommended AREDS2 PreserVision Eye Vitamins. Diabetes is a risk factor for Read more…
