Glad to hear the ball position tip helping.
The pool....wow! A few years ago ours died during some weird winter weather that totalled a lot of above ground pools in our area. We have our lower deck going partially around the pool attached to the upper deck. So we replaced the pool. I told my wife I was thinking of turning it into a putting green. Have a company come out to put one in. I could finish the front of the deck with lattice, shrubs and stone. I could just extend where the railings ended at the pool. Have them add a few pitching areas in from spots in the yard.
So we get the pool in and 2 weeks after that 75 foot pine from the woods falls while I'm mowing the lawn...crushes my shed , just misses me and the pool!
