Since the first of the year I've lost 15 lbs. Needed to. Didn't have the motivation to do so. Started this 4 mile/day walk with the dog and it has whittle away at the pounds.
Along with losing quite a bit of weight, I've had both hands operated on for carpal tunnel and had the one wrist sprained. The wrist sprain still has some residual pain.
With all that, I have lost significant distance throughout the entire range of clubs. This morning, I caught a pitching wedge clean, thinking it would be way over the green on a 90 yard pitch shot. The ball came up 5 yards short of the green. My drives are short. I don't have a club in the bag I can hit off the fairway 200 yards anymore. And, it just seems like this has occurred this Spring.
I can still score, thanks to chipping and putting. This morning, I chipped in from off the green for two pars. There was a day, those would have been for birdie.
Going to go away for the long Memorial Day weekend and leave the clubs behind. Once back, I plan to start working on hand/arm strengthening exercises. I've got to get some distance back or won't be able to keep up with the really old guys!!!!!!
