I think Amanda Balionis is one of the best things to happen to golf media coverage in a long time. Knows her stuff and is creative. Gives the pro the mic and sits back. Cool stuff. What do u think?

definitely easy on the eyes.   She's better than some of the other women that have interviewed golfers.

Anytime announcers talk less rather than more, it’s a good thing.   ;-)

I like her commercial with the guy who tries the hero shot and she calls him out on laying up being a better choice.

Truth. Agreed she does a good job of it. She was handicapped at first by them trying to make her use stupid, pointless technology, but that went away (thankfully).

Yes, she seems genuine. Unpretentious. There is nothing else not to like. 

Yes, she is all that.

But her hand gestures (stretching fingers, all apart) like she's having an episode of some kind, is unnerving, to me at least. I have to make a real conscious effort to not get distracted by them...

I like her a lot.  Decent interviews, let's the pros talk.  Avoids the stock/goofy questions.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…

      My Swing (billchao)

      By klineka ·

      I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.
