I am also cooked after 5 days in a row of surfing. A day off is required.
It's been really nice to lock in on some surfing and try to get better.
What's really positive is that my new clubs are working really well for me. I feel almost the best I ever have with my putting and if my tempo and grip are right with the 3 wood I hit it decently.
Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards underwent a "successful" arthroscopic procedure on his ailing right knee at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, on Thursday, the team announced.
This was honestly shattering considering how well he was playing.
]]>We neglected Spuddy all day and he'd dug multiple holes when we got home. He was all wet and dirty.
Simplicity is what is best for me. Sync works well and links open properly.
]]>My swing thought with both the 3 wood and hybrid recently is
coca cola tempo
which basically is coca on the takeaway and cola on the downswing.
I think often I get too quick and this leads to wayward contact.
If my grip is solid and tempo is good it usually leads to decent results.
The 3 wood at the end of the day has a much bigger club head and is easier to make contact with off the tee. I also get about 20-30 metres more on good swing compared to hybrid which really helps on the longer holes.

It has a React Native mobile app and an Electron mac app. It works okay but the UI is a bit buggy.
What I'm thinking of trying next is creating an MCP to store my tasks and then just interface with Claude directly for the frontend.
This could be a fun little project as I'll learn about how to create my own MCP server.
I think for a task app it could be pretty nice. It obviously has a few downsides compared to a full app (like offline support) but overall it should work okay. It's a good use case for my VPS as well.
]]>Thankfully, he's happy to at least talk about his new creation, which transports players to a more “metaphysical” locale. “It is still what I call a town game,” explains Barone of The Haunted Chocolatier, “But it’s more of an action RPG – the main focus is more about adventuring, finding equipment and getting more powerful. There are monsters, there are boss fights. It's for the people in Stardew Valley that go into the mines. That's what I do, honestly.”
This is super exciting. This is my GTA 6.
]]>The down side is that it doesn't run great on the Switch 1. It's getting to the point now where games aren't coming out on the Switch and performance is an issue. I feel like I'll need to upgrade soon. I'm also not a huge fan of the amount of dialogue. The story is okay but I just don't really care about it as yet.
]]>81 in stroke play. I played really controlled golf with my hybrid off the tee and putted well.
Good simple solid golf.
Break 80 will happen!
My 4-hybrid is a weapon off the tee. Even if I lose 30 metres of distance I find I can hit 90% of fairways throughout a good round.
It tends to put me in a decent spot to at least make my par score on every hole on the course.
My current technique really doesn't suit hitting woods. I really need lessons and constant practice to get better. I'm just too streaky and don't have the confidence I need.
I enjoy the freedom the hybrid off the tee gives me and I can constantly play stress-free golf.
I know I can break 80 with my hybrid off the tee technique.
I usually hit my irons good enough.
Where I can still be a bit poor is with the putter. If I can practice my putting and chipping and gain a few strokes there I'm in really good shape.
Maybe this is getting some gear like the Why Golf Putter Thing and hitting a bunch of putts on the practice green at the club. There is a practice chipping area as well and using it more often would probably be a smart thing to do.
I just don't really love practice. I way prefer being out there and having at least a 9-hole round.
]]>
It was a difficult game. There were times where it felt a bit too hard and I needed to read guides on how to get better. Once you levelled up the game felt much more fair for the last few bosses.
]]>I also love the history of Sydney Stadium. What an atmosphere it would have been like to see a band or any boxing match here. Shame it wasn't kept in that location.
]]>It's a bit of a shame almost everything leaks before these events now though. There's no surprise anymore.
]]>Some hopes for games: a new Metroid 2D and Ocarina of Time is a full remake with new content.

Claude also gave me some good quotes on price.
Chives: 1–2 pots, $5–8 each
Mint: 1 pot, $5–8
Dill: seed packet, $3–5 (seedlings don't transplant well)
Basil (Nov): punnet of seedlings, $5–7
Rosemary: 1 pot, $8–15 depending on size
Thyme: 1–2 pots, $5–8 each
Oregano: 1 pot, $5–8
Sage: 1 pot, $6–10
Tomatoes (Nov): 4 seedlings, punnet $5–7 or $6–10 each if you buy named varieties in individual pots
All up somewhere around $60–90 for the herbs, a bit more if you go for larger rosemary/sage plants for a head start. Prices vary a fair bit between Bunnings and independent nurseries.
Not ideal given we never really have much expendable income.
What I like the look of are the Stinger carts. The Stinger SG-2 Compact seems really nice and is likely the one I'll get. It will be nice to have a proper phone holder and a sand bucket hook which I didn't have with the old cart.
]]>I built the Mac app with Electron and the iOS app with React Native. I'm syncing the data with Yjs. It's a simple app so a lot of the code can be shared.
What building this app has affirmed to me is that we now live in a world where vibe coding for individual purposes is freaking awesome. Again the app is simple but I can build something with relative ease with the exact features that I want.
]]>I have a new putter and 3 wood which are arguably two of my most important clubs.
I purchased a Wilson Infinite Zero Torque 606 Putter. I've used it for a few rounds and I like the look and feel. I find I'm hitting putts slightly straighter and with better distance control.
I also bought a Cobra OPTM X Fairway which I haven't actually had a chance to use in play yet. I hit it pretty well in the simulator so keen to give it a go. If I can hit it as straight as my hybrid and get 20-30 metres extra distance on some holes that would be amazing.
So my whole bag is now:
Ball wise I prefer to play with Bridgestone Tour B XS.
Really my clubs are now solid. The only thing left is potentially some wedges to fill the gap between my pitching wedge and the 60. Honestly though, I kind of like hitting my pitching wedge with half swings to fill this gap.
