    Most of my TT family is aware of my recent medical issues. Have been working hard to get back in shape with rehab/PT. Have been able to play about a dozen rounds in late March until now and seeing improvement after getting a tweak with my golf instructor. As usual ball position and alignment. Starting to feel really good again, attitude and approach to the game. Made a grip change yesterday and my putters seemed to starting find the bottom of the cup. Irons and metals in the middle of the fairway. Although seemed to have lost about 15-20 yards since the back surgery. In talking to my PT and pro, they said that was normal until I get my swing back. Surgery was Oct 17th and last round played was Oct 8th. Am doing exercises three days a week. Got a little over ambitious and found doing to much exercise and back stayed sore. Looks promising and hope to have most of the yardage back in another month of so. Was really down when I started back and almost at the point of selling my clubs and saying no more. With yesterday's performance, feel that there is promise and staring at reaching 80 in September I want to at least shoot my age once in my lifetime. Came close once, three days after my 68th birthday. Shot a 69 and DA me, double bogied the last hole. I played with one of those who likes to keep you informed of what you are shooting. He reminded me as I was walking to the tee that I was on target to shoot my age and he knew that I have a hyperactive mind. The rest is history. I do not play with him anymore. Bless his heart. Also back to playing with my instructor on Wednesdays. It helps. There is a light at the end of the tunnel and not an on-coming train. Hakuna matata.
