    The left thumb has been hurting for months. That is where the force of about 80 golf shots goes every morning.

    Have you tried using fewer swings during a round?

    Actually I was thinking of strokes warming up on the practice tee. But I have eliminated most of that for now.

    79 this AM with 35 putts, acceptable, not great.

      Wow, nice breaking 80! What yardage? 35 putts means you had a nice drive/iron game in regulation, and could've had a few more putts drop to really go low. What's your personal best? My best rounds are 76, 78, 80, 81, and 82.

            Wow that is great. My 76 was a bit of a fluke. I had been trying to break 80 for a while and was only able to get to 84 or 82, then that round I think I drained 5 birdies, including a 20-footer on the last hole (not that I needed it). Sometimes it comes down to just getting the ball on the green in regulation and getting lucky on a few longer putts.

              You can lookup anyone's latest scores, as long as they post them to GHIN and you have a USGA GHIN account.

              Jack hasn't posted much lately.

                Very cool. Would enjoy playing there one day with you. I know it won’t happen but it would be enjoyable. I play fast, too.

                  As I said a while ago, hold my Geritol.

                  I had my right 4th finger injected yesterday - triggering.

                    I once went around the entirety of Saint Andrews without playing a single stroke. The locals seemed a bit pissed off. Apparently, mountain bikes aren't really a thing up there.

                    I was only joking

                      I got the Cortisone Injection at the base of the thumb. It won't cure the arthritis, but it could stop the pain for maybe 6 months, works longer for some people, shorter for others.

                          Sorry, missed your question.

                          On the left, it was the middle finger. The first injection lasted about 6 months, and the 2nd about the same. However, after two injections, perhaps three, surgery is recommended.

                          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
