Things That Gladden The Heart

I have been taking the approach that I apply similar restraint on the 5 days as I do on the 2 (to build habit and make the 2 days seem not that abnormal) - in that I have almost completely cut out carbs from my diet - so no bread, rice, pasta, potatoes, crisps, with dairy cut right down (not even a spot of milk in tea or coffee) and no salted peanuts or chocolate (my main weaknesses) or any other sweets. On my 5 days I allow myself a few chips if we are having fish or steak. Two meals a day and absolutely NO snacking between meals, usually a late breakfast and dinner before 8pm.

My issue with diets like this, is they are not sustainable. you cant live the rest of your life in 5:2, but I suppose if it works to shed some timber before making a true lifestyle adjustment then happy days. But in my view, these short term 'fixes' will end up with the person piling the weight back on, and then doing it all again..

Oh I agree, and that is why I have not completely cut out carbs in my 5 days. I have just decided that I must get my mind and body used to not eating tons of the stuff - as I was. And get me cutting back on chocolate, crisps and sweets all of which I was eating in amounts that were simply to satisfy a 'couldn't care less / I'll be OK' attitude about my weight. No point in waiting until the weight I want to lose is lost before I start trying to change my eating habits - I have to do that whilst working on losing it.
 
My Tampa Bay Rays reaching the World Series. First my ice hockey team wins the Stanley Cup, now the team with the lowest payroll in the sport makes it to the pinnacle of baseball. What a year to be a Tampa sports fan (part 2).
 
The 2 Academy players who let us through on the 13th this afternoon.
They'd been keeping up with the group in front ( read being held up) but could see we were quicker so let us play first.
They were keen to do things " properly "
And then they held station behind us as we got held up by full members from the 14th..
2 ladies in their late 50s/early 60s and it was their first time out playing 18.
Why can't all golfers be like them?
They're going to be a credit to the club when they "graduate" in March.

That is good to hear. Did you feed that back to the pro, GM or whoever runs the academy

Annoys me how some people just ignore what their asked

We have been reminded ready golf. Your place is behind the group in front not Infront the group behind

Got held up few weeks ago on the 10th in a comp ..they were looking for balls didn't let us through. Got through finally on 13

Looked at their card returns online few 10s down

We have been told if we can't score to pick up and nr to speed up play for covid to stop us bunching

Nice to see people listening
