500 days without alcohol… and honestly, I don’t recognise the version of me from before.

I didn’t stop drinking for a dramatic reason, I just wanted to feel better. And now I do. The last 5 months especially, I’ve been SMASHING my fitness harder than ever. Consistent gym work, proper training, committing to goals… and it’s changed everything. I feel fit, strong, motivated and genuinely the healthiest I’ve been in a long, long time. 

HUGE SHOUTOUT to John @golfgains.fitness who’s been setting my workout programs for a long time now! (Defo give him a follow) 

My energy is better. My sleep is better. My mood is better. And I feel more present, with work, with life, with my family. That alone makes the whole journey worth it.

Proud of how far I’ve come, and excited about where I’m headed. And I’ve got to say… Zero beers have been a lifesaver.
They’ve given me the social feel of having a drink without undoing all the hard work or slipping back into old habits. Simple thing, but it made the whole journey so much easier and more enjoyable.

Backswing length ❗️

When we’re trying to hit a softer shot, it’s hard to do so from a short backswing. The reason? When our backswing is short, we need to increase the speed and shaft lean into impact to get the ball to travel the right distance. This creates a hot ball speed that skids forwards when it lands on the green. 

Whilst this absolutely is a shot to play, it’s not always the right option, particularly if we want a soft first bounce. It can be better to take a longer backswing and swing slower and smoother through to impact. In Rick’s case, this also helped with improved strike and direction. 

Just watch the before and after of @rickshielspga to see this in action!

26.2 miles DONE ✅ @londonmarathon 

The support around the course was honestly incredible. They gave every runner such a boost when you need it most.

Really appreciate everyone who donated to @its.neveryoucharity and sent supportive messages. It genuinely helped more than you probably realise.

If you’d like to support, link’s in the bio 👍 THANK YOU
