This article is particularly difficult to write because I don’t have much inspiration lately. The weather is nice for this time of year, but there is no opportunity to play golf unless I set up my DIY driving net. My net is not going to be set up until after the holidays because I am still recovering from my Achilles Tendon and elbow injury.
