Well I guess this is a comeback of sorts, I started playing poker seriously again sometime last month after taking probably about 6 months off from playing.
Throughout October I worked my way up through 50 and 100nl zoom and this month I played mostly 200nl zoom. Zoom has more or less got me interested in poker again because I can feel focused on every hand on every table, and still get a fair amount of hands in.
I have actually been able to be motivated in poker again and focus on my game on and off the tables whereas that has been missing for the better part of a year or two. I have been lucky to be able to bounce ideas off a couple of great poker minds as well which has really been beneficial for my work ethic and mindset in general.
November 2012:
Throughout the summer I was able to work at a great golf course north of Toronto and probably played about 80 rounds (which is why my poker kind of took a back seat). My goal at the start of the summer was to get my 7/8 handicap down to a scratch. I did not make that goal but I did get down to a 2 handicap at one point and at this point in time I think I am a 3.
Some of the highlights from the summer was shooting a 70 on a par 72 6900 yard course and getting my first hole in one!
Hole in One:
Working on my swing plane:
I am hoping to test in for my CPGA card next summer and play some mini tour events as well. The biggest problem next summer is trying to balance poker and golf. For my golf program in school I have to work 500 hours at a golf course... so on top of working on my golf game I still have to find time to play poker 20/30hrs a month :s
I think it will be difficult to find the time to improve both my golf game and my poker game at the same time next summer but what is the point of taking the lazy easy route  Done that before and it just doesn’t work..
Going to try and get 40k vpp in December so that I can get Supernova for next year (this is what I was talking about being lazy throughout this year). And then start the New Year off grinding a ton before the summer season kicks in again.
Good Luck! and if anyones on twitter give me a follow @JamieBreedon

Yeah there is definitely burnout in golf as well, sometimes you get to the course and you just really dont have the energy/want to play....
For me golf tilt is wayyy more prevelant than poker tilt lol. Just got to take a few days off or just hit the range sometimes instead of playing, just like poker |

Yeah for sure, I think golf is extremely mentally draining game.. grinding out up and downs for pars all day long when you arent interested just isnt going to happen and it isnt a whole lot of fun if you arent in the right mindset
That being said everytime you go out on the course your guaranteed to do something you have never done before, good or bad, which is pretty cool |
