I bet as a lot of you know, the golf channel is doing a 12 day academy with some of the best instructors in the game today.

What i dont understand is why they are doing it in november?! When half of the country is freezing and a lot of the courses and ranges are closed! I know they may be doing it right now since they have nothing else to show, but still, they couldnt have squeezed it in myabe in march or april? Just frustrates me a bit that i watch the show and cannot apply what im learning several months away.

What do you guys think?

I've now watched Michael Breed and Butch Harmon. Unfortunately everything is so dumbed down that I'm not really getting anything out of it. Hopefully we can get a little better instruction from Player, Palmer, Nicklaus and Foley. I don't expect much out of Haney.

I think you should drive 1.5 hours south and play on the cape. Pine Hills is bad azz and is in Plymouth.

Golf Channel Academy.

Every night around 7pm or 7:30pm there is a new show. Started yesterday and will run for 12 nights if I recall. Lots of lessons from famous instructors, golfers, etc.. I am recording all of them on the DVR. They will be replayed at midnight I am sure each night. Tune in, could be some good shows.

12 days in the month of 12 days...

Good filler...how much Big Break, John Daly, or Golf in America reruns can you watch. I really liked the Tour Pro perspective versus the Teaching Pro points. What Norman said about his Nicklaus tip was a little more refreshing than a guy swinging a club with a bungee cord attached to it.

I bet a large part of the demographic for TGC is Florida, AZ, CA, where the weather has cooled down to be perfect for golf and all the snowbirds are flying in, so it does kind of make sense and they're following up the instructor search.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I saw some of the Foley one last night. First time I have seen him. He looked more like a computer geek than a golf instructor. But, made a lot of sense.

As others have said, these will all be replayed over and over. You will get several chances to see and apply the principles next spring.

I saw Hank Haney's the other night.

He talked about how Tiger practiced.  He said that one thing Tiger does is practice all nine shot trajectory and direction combinations with all clubs, so low, med, high trajectory with draw, straight, and fade directions.  He said this is a great way to see what really see what your swing is like.

Though I'm guessing other pros do this too, it was the first time I had ever heard someone talk about a pro, any pro, doing this.  Sobering to reflect on that level of skill.

Also, Hank mentioned that before going to the range, one should think on the few things to focus on when at the range, not just "hey, I'm going to hit balls".  That was instructive.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
