I already have a US passport and it's not gonna expire in awhile, but I dragged my butt in to get the upgrade to Real ID anyways, I figured maybe it might come in handy, but I'm struggling to come up with a reason. While it's moot as I already upgraded, what's the advantage of a Real ID on your driver's license if you already hold a passport? Don't plan on going into any federal facilities.

I can't answer that question other than the passport is an extra piece of ID required to be carried if you fly (travel outside the US).    I have the Real-ID, my wife decided the passport would be sufficient for her..;-)

So I don’t drive 75 minutes to the airport and then realize I forgot to grab my passport as I was packing or walking out the door. So I have one less thing to keep track of going through TSA. So I feel a little more like I’m in the USA than in 1970s Europe.

Makes good sense. Laughing at the 1970s Europe bit.

    • I agree with this 100%. I forget what tour player said it but they mentioned how in pro ams they hear amateurs say how they always make a majority of their mid range putts. His reply was no they don’t because if you did you’d be better than everyone on tour. Even pros think they’re better than they are. Back when stats weren’t as well known as today they asked a bunch of pros what the make percentage was on tour for 6 footers. The consensus was around 70%. Crenshaw was the closest with a guess of 50%. Actual percentage was 54%. I always thought it was interesting that one of the best putters was the closest. 
    • Day 145 - 2025-02-22 7-7 today at Golf Evolution. Managed to sneak in some work while waiting for dinner when I got home, though.
    • Day 15: 2/22/25 Putting through50 mm gates weight shift drills. Playing tomorrow, and will see how I do.
    • This is a good point and I’m going to go down this road. I’ll get some data on both techniques, compare the two, and then make a more informed decision. I’m bad about going off of what I “feel” is the best but should definitely approach it with more hard data.  All that being said, this made me laugh and is likely the cause of me wondering if the broomstick would be a better technique. I mean, who doesn’t want to get a new putter?
    • Day 32 (22 Feb 25) - Got in some wedge work with the 58° in the backyard before heading to a noon band rehearsal.  It’s the weakest part of my wedge game, so figured it would be good to work on distance control for a few minutes - varied the distances and lies from 5yds out to about 25yds.  Nice little drill session to kick off the day.
