Round Review: here are two nice rounds from LMP league nights. You can tell by the scores that we're playing from the short tees now 😂.

You can see by comparing the scorecards that if you just stay out of the ditch/pit on 15 it's a pretty simple birdie.

Missed easy putts were the only nasty bits in the -5 round. Frustrating because I hit from deep C1 and C2 to score birdies on other holes AND dropped in a split stance chicken wing 🍗 from a ditch around a tree 🌲 to save par on 4.

The weather for these evening rounds has been great, it's sad we're losing light so early...and we'll really get wrecked when DST is over 🌕.

In the Bag: Discmania Cloudbreaker, 12 | 5 | -1 | 3, I use this for massive shots, when massive shots are called for. Off the shelf it is probably a little on the slightly over-stable side, but this one is seasoned 🧂🌶️ to perfection.

The swirly S-line plastic feels great, looks great, and has worn in well.

In the hype video from the drop last year Eagle McMahon called it "the people's Cloudbreaker." That has held true for me and could be one of the more accurate statements made in a disc marketing video.

You can still find these at some retailers, but they aren't available on Discmania's site, so if you run across one or have one lying around that you don't use send it my way! 📦📨

Round Review: the strange case of Dr. Jekyll vs. Mr. Can't make a C1 putt. You may notice the is the exact same score as last week's round review...but the rounds could not be more different.

High points: 13/18 fairway hits. I was getting off the tee just fine and on holes without fairway hits the scramble 🍳 was good....so why wasn't my score better?

Low points: putting disaster! 9 C1 misses (3 airballs 💨💨💨) is the story of this game. Just getting several low putts a couple inches higher brings the score to even 🤦.

I closed my last round review with this: "$10 says that next time I play I drill 16/18 fairways but then can't make any putts outside 15ft...anyone up for that action?"

No one took me up on it, good thing too, I would be laughing all the way to the bank 🏦💸!

Weekly Wisdom Wednesday: Pain is a request for change. Your body wants you to do something different...but what change do you need to make?

Prior injury - with the ankle a prior sprain is the most frequent culprit in a chronic pain situation. After the injury you develop altered movement patterns or lack full proprioceptive input from secondary outcomes returning from the injury. Targeted strength and balance training can be effective for eliminating these problems.

If you recently sprained your ankle you must take the correct steps to return to sport post-injury to avoid ending up in the "prior injury" category!

Compensation for hip issues at the ankle aren't as common as the knee or back (closest victims in the kinetic chain) but are still possible. Any missing range of motion will be "found" somewhere in the system by your brain 🧠 to get the throw done...the ankle is not immune to being a victim of compensatory issues.
