Hi Card. I've been looking at a set of new clubs because I gave up playing once our daughter was born. Getting out early on a day when few people are likely to be on the course is a great thing. I did keep my driver so that I could at least hit the range once in a while. I have not gone to Top Golf yet and this is also on my list of things to do on my next vacation day (to get some rust out).
Some music can get you to that meditative state, especially with a good pair of over-the-ear, active noise-canceling headphones. I'm getting better at finding instrumental music that isn't solely classical. Some of the compositions of the songs, the inclusion of certain instruments, and lyrics in some cases I didn't "hear" until I chose to focus on listening more closely.
The Ruckus looks like a riot. I can see why you're able to spend a whole day on that thing. Hopefully, the weather will give you a surprise day or two soon.
I enjoy writing (mostly because my artwork was not so good) but did look at giving drawing a second chance. If you're "buying some new pens" than you are clearly heads and tails ahead of me!
