On Sunday at 12:59pm, I had set a winning DFS lineup. I rocked the 1pm games with a triple Burrow-Chase-Higgins stack, and I chatted with Bud about my current players in the 4pm’s. I decided to move a few players around and the original lineup would have won me 7.5k placing 1st out of 7,200. I ended up getting 29th. In that brief moment of time I altered your perception of me whether I’m a winner or a loser.

I’m well aware no one cares about anyone other than their own gambling stories. I share that as therapy to soothe my soul. On a brighter note, I played in a scramble at Commonwealth with CK4 and our team won. It didn’t hurt to have a 2 handicap on the team. He was easily the best player I’ve played with. This was helpful because it allowed me to see how a good player hits the ball. There’s learning that takes place when you can physically see, and spend time, with someone doing it instead of a video. Asking questions rather than being told. For my own sake, I’ve overcome a rough stretch of poor play and am finally hitting the ball better without ever practicing.

Those two little stories are hopefully sharing how minor adjustments can create monumental results. There is a fine line where if you read my last post, you’d know that I was ready to quit most activities because there was nothing to gain. These two little tales have shown me that it may only require a smidge of adjustment to the mental side. That’s encouraging and can be extrapolated to life itself that if it’s not going your way, change it. Even if it’s small.

In other news, I haven’t been posting much and there’s a good chance I’ll be posting even less. Starting on the 23rd of October, I’ll be traveling until the 18th of November. There are a few stretches where I’ll be here, but not much. I’m both excited and exhausted by the upcoming trips. I’ll try to squeeze in some posts.
