Each golfer has a unique game that works best for them. It can be difficult to find that game and when we do, we are not always happy with the result. Regardless of the path, I believe that the end state of our game is never the actual finish line. There is always something new to learn (and acquiring golf knowledge is an endless pursuit) as we try to attain our lowest scores. This journey might seem dauntless, however it does not always have to be intense or arduous. Fueling our passion for golf is a biproduct of finding our unique golf game.

Filling My Time With Not Golfing
Since my season ended, I find myself filling my time with other life activities. I am focused on walking, puttering around the yard, and coaching the a high school basketball team. I find that these and other activities help pass the time away. It is not as much fun (sometimes) as hitting the links, but it is great to have a goal with which to focus upon. It is about this time of year that I start to look to next golf season. I do not set any goals, yet, but allow myself time to decompress from the summer season. It does seem funny considering I am retired, but I am usually busier not than when I had a job. Go figure! Regardless, now is the time to relax and enjoy the different direction my life’s journey is heading.

Yesterday, I hit the links for the final time in 2024. I finished the same way I started – playing hickory sticks. My friend Misha and I planned to play a round with my wooden shafted golf clubs for some time and we were finally able to make our schedules match. Misha had never played with hickories before and he was pleasantly surprised at the result. For me, it was a great way to finish the season!

Today is it. I am hanging up my clubs after my hickory round today. My 2024 golf season will end as it started, playing my hickory stick clubs. However, today I will be playing a round with my friend Misha. He has indicated that he is interested in playing with the vintage clubs and today is the day we can make that happen.
I am not disappointed my season is ending…..well, not too disappointed. I am know I will have a long winter’s nap until April, but it is what it is and I am ready. Obviously, I will continue to talk about golf just to keep my passion alive and hopefully you, the reader, will continue to follow my golfing journey.
On a completely different note, my wife and I saw the Norther Lights in the sky last night and I thought I would show you the beauty of the nights sky that she captured. I have not observed such beauty since I was a young lad growing up; truly spectacular!
Fall Golf Means Less Golf
We are having a wondering fall this year. Unfortunate, the great weather has not translated into more golf. I am trying to fit in many life events, but will have a game or two left in the bag before it is all done. One thing I will organize is a hickory round with my friend Misha. He expressed interest in playing with them and how can I not make that happen. The rest of the time, I will try and hit the course a couple times over the next few weeks. When the weather is great, how can I stay home…..right?
