Change 30 – Learn To Putt

I have decided to learn to putt.

I love to play golf. I’ve been playing once, maybe twice a month.  With summer coming, I hope to play a bit more.  I hit the ball well, and I am a pretty decent short-iron player, but I really struggle with the flat stick.  My plan is to head to the golf supply store Tuesday, to be fitted for a new putter.  After that, I’ve scheduled a lesson with a local pro, and I plan to do whatever he says to do, so that my putting will improve.

The last round I played, I “gave away”, by my count, four shots, due to the fact that I failed to make four three-foot putts.  Missing those short putts just killed my score.  I’m excited about taking the lesson, my first in more than a decade, and I’m also excited about my new (budgeted-for!) putter.  In a few weeks, I’ll let you know how things are going.

Change 21 – Wake Up Earlier

I have decided to wake up earlier.

I usually wake up between 6:30 and 7:00.  I have decided to wake up earlier, so that I can a.) help my wife get the kids dressed and ready for school b.) spend more time in prayer and c.) go the gym.

I stay up late at night, after my kids and wife have gone to bed, so that I can work on my various blogs and websites.  Recently, however, I’ve been going to be a bit earlier, probably because I’ve been working out so hard at the gym, and I feel much more rested.  Getting up is getting much easier.

5:30 will be my new wake up time.

Change 19 – Take Vitamins

I have decided to take vitamins.

In the past, I’ve been very hit-or-miss with my vitamin intake.  I’d buy a bottle of vitamins, take them for a day or two, then forget, then remember, then forget, then remember.  No more!  Now, I’m taking a multi-vitamin for men, three times a day, and I’m also taking some probiotics.  I feel much better, now that I’m off soda, off candy, working out more, and taking my vitamins.  It’s amazing how quickly the body responds to positive input – and the removal of negative input.

Sorry for the delay in posts.  I had some trouble on my end with the site.  All should be fixed now, so expect regular updates.  Thanks for hanging in there.
