Instead I am trying to occupy myself by practicing new Bosu ball exercises at the gym.

For the rest of us there's a couple stalls on the third floor that are backed with full-length mirrors--the original swing analysis device. <br /><br />The penned-in putting green is definitely a zoo exhibit. Lot of boat passenger/party cruise type traffic passing by to and from the other adjacent piers, so yeah, a lot of gawking.Legitimate Golfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13403181693530513035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5786532067953996112.post-59538063765710522462014-01-29T07:31:30.503-08:002014-01-29T07:31:30.503-08:00Ahhh, the Chelsea Piers range!

NOthing like standing on the tippy top tier and launching balls into the ether with a backdrop of the Jersey shore of the Hudson River...and so inexpensive! There used to be a couple of stalls with camers installled where, for a price, you could tape your swing and look at it or send a file home for the truth review later. Do those still exist? I always thought that was the a cool feature at Chelsea Piers...<br /><br />Another 6 inches of the white stuff hit us here on Cape Cod this morning.

Odd number of balls, must get a majority up & in. Difference is I had to win once using a sand wedge, hitting high chips a relatively short distance. Once I won, I had to do it using a lower lofted club, chipping low and running the chip across the green to a distant target.<br /><br />Talking about my distant past activities in golf seems strange now that I fish. Got to go check my tip ups.bkuehn1952http://www.icefishingisgreat.comnoreply@blogger.com
