All the help this site gave me. My goal for the year was to have more rounds in the 80's than in the 100's and I achieved that 80's-7 100's-0. Thanks

Greatfull for the young people who are risking their lives to keep us free and safe, in the Military, Fire Fighters and Police. I am greatfull for my religion, my family and the country as I knew it. I am greatfull that my Military Disability is under control with pain medicine, so I am allowed to play Golf, I use the word play, in loose terms... I am greatfull that I am allowed to express my thoughts without repercussions, live on a golf course and do whatever I am capable to do.. Yes, I am greatfull, for all of the above and more..... Happy Holidays

Taking lessons with Mike (MVMAC and Dana), and to Erik for strongly making the suggestion to do so.

Prior to this I was a hopeless case as far as my kids' regular instructor was concerned. 8 months of no progress, then bam 5SK came along and gave me a real golf swing in less than 2 months. As Erik advertised.

Can't wait to start my son with Mike and Dana!

I am thankful that I have the health to continuously play a sport I love.

I am very thankful for the time I've got to spend this year golfing with my 5 year old and seeing him laugh and smile!

Golf related I'm thankful that this season I was able to play almost every weekend since April and that I was able to shoot under 100 twice.

A bit of a tangent but I'm curious as to what kind of time you put into those two months of development and in which manner you did so.

1 to 3 hours per day. Most of the time was building the correct posture, then trying different swing paths. The focus was on keys 1-3, recently key 4 with a hint of 5. Totally confident on the course, now. Even though I still hit bad shots. Picked up on my short game with 65/25/10 practice times. See the thread.

I am thankful to have a little golf mecca just down the street from me (81 holes of golf) and the fact that it's in CA doesn't hurt either (year round baby). :banana:

I'm thankful for the men and women in the military who make great personal sacrifices so we can all sleep better at night knowing our country is protected.

Grateful to my two sons who got me into a game that can so thoroughly consume my thoughts. Grateful to my wife who not only tolerates my obsession with golf, but encourages me to play.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By collegefbfan ·

      Yeah.  As far as remaining still, I was thinking body rotates around the spine like an axis.  Instead of pivoting, some like me, sway, come off that axis, leave weight on back foot, etc.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      I apologize on behalf of… idiot men. Sorry about that. Next time, tell the guy to shut up. 😛  Day 553, May 8, 2024 18 holes from the whites with @rwolfe. Windy AF today, but hit some good shots. Slid back a little from where I was the previous two days, but… I can get it back. Made a pretty nifty birdie on 12 from some pretty odd places. 😄

      My Swing (Zeph)

      The angles look fine. Get as much light as you can on the area — you want the highest shutter speed you can get. Less blur.

      2024 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Sammydreep ·

      Snap @ Tour Spoon! Birdied 11 yesterday. Hit a poor iron ,stopped on edge of bunker , pitch with my lob wedge landed about 6’ away and went in. Only 12 & 14 to go, long par5’s into the prevailing wind. Might be waiting a while although I did have about 15’ on 12 after the birdie on 11, didn’t miss by much.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By RandyBobbitt ·

      Tested the Maxfli TourS yesterday. Compared to my former ball, the Titleist AVX, I got an extra 10 yards off the driver and half a club (5-7 yards) off the irons. The combined extra yardage from the driver and fairway wood meant that on par-5s where I usually hit an 8-iron third shot, I hit a PW. It's just a smidgen softer than the AVX and seems to spin well. Some of the reviews indicated a low ball flight, but I did not notice it. I also did not observe any problems with the paint quality, which was an issue with previous Maxfli models up to and including the U series.  My previous round I tested the Bridgestone E6, a two-piece ball with a different cover. It was OK; the same distance and feel as the AVX but with less spin.
