I took my lunch break around my pool to soak up the sun's warmth. Get away from the COLD and DREARY winter weather and join us at the [ASQ Lean and Six Sigma Conference](https://asq.org/conferences/six-sigma/registration) right here in Phoenix, February 26-28. I loved visiting the Phoenix area so much during the cold weather that I moved out here in 2019. Golf happens year-round!

Depth perception is essential for determining the distance around the green. In early 2022, I discovered that my vision loss has affected my depth perception and, therefore, my short game. I am truly grateful that I am able to be back swinging a golf club. Rather than be frustrated, I thought I would try some of my own advice that I generously have given out over the years on chipping. Later, I realized that I was using Deliberate Practice to relearn the basics of chipping. I was practicing chipping in my backyard like I've done for years. I was struggling to land near the targets, and as I kept hitting balls, it wasn't getting better. Rather than be frustrated, I remembered my GOLF ADVICE: chipping is like tossing a ball and imagining the club is just an extension of your hand.
