Played Stonelick Hills Golf Club here in Cincinnati with the wifey for an early Father's Day date just the two of us before the crazy weekend begins.

Played the full 18 and played pretty well. Driver was working good and hitting the ball far. Wedges were good too and putting was okay. Iron game is still a joke and need a lot of help! Towards the end I was getting pretty tired. Very hot and humid while on the back 9.

Wife, who only plays 2-3 times per year chipped off of a steep hill after her drive on a par three and made it. 40ft chip...holy smokes! She was pretty much done after that.

She was my cart queen for the last 12 holes and didn't pick up a club! We had a blast together! Wouldn't have changed it for anything.

Hope to order the 6 hybrid this weekend so I can get rid of some irons. I hit my 4H beautifully all day!

The golf course was very nice but not worth the price tag. $84 per person Mon-Thurs then $110 per person Fri - Sun. Its a pretty course but I have been to better around Cincinnati for half the price. We went there to also see some live buffalo but they weren't out.

Just got home from playing Troon North in Scottsdale. Between getting old, playing 3 days on the trot and the heat I am exhausted. Ended up shooting 79 with 4 over on the last 3 holes. Can't close the deal these days. Gonna see a back doctor tomorrow and maybe learn if there is structural problems or just weak and old.

The course was fun and we had a side bet going where you earn money when the last person to sink a putt longer than the flagstick. I'm on the 18th hole (a long difficult hole I mad harder hitting my tee shot into the desert but I digress) and I'm on in 4 about 50 feet from the pin. Putt drops into the hole which would have made me the big money winner. Some donut (actually a very good friend except for a few moments after this) sinks a 12 footer on top stealing my filthy lucre winnings. Argghhh.

Any how had fun and happy tomorrow is a no workout or golf day.

What was the temp in Scottsdale when you played? I can't imagine playing when its over 100.

Gotta get that back figured out. You don't realize how much you use your lower back until it hurts. I woke up with sore shoulders but was fine after moving around for a few hours.

Don't you love it when that happens? Think you have it in the bag and then, nevermind! lol



Got a gift card from my daughter / wife for fathers day and I immediately custom ordered a TaylorMade Qi35 6 hybrid Max with a stiff shaft. I couldn't wait any longer! lol

You get used to playing in 100 degrees here in AZ. But it does seem this year is harder than the past. Maybe it's age.

On the back I saw the doctor and he already told me surgery isn't needed. We are doing MRI and Xrays today to see if injections might help.

Could be age but it's still miserable to play when it's hot like that, especially when its very humid!

Best of luck with all of that today! Hopefully you aren't in an MRI tube and will be on an MRI table instead.

Thanks At least it is no contrast so no needle. I can handle the tube if I have to.
