I just got it in yesterday, got through the first chapter so far. (What I think is the first chapter - there's no ToC.)

I have mixed expectations based on on interview he did on NLU's Trap Draw podcast. 

In my bag:

Driver: Titleist TSi3 | 15º 3-Wood: Ping G410 | 17º 2-Hybrid: Ping G410 | 19º 3-Iron: TaylorMade GAPR Lo |4-PW Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo | 54º SW, 60º LW: Titleist Vokey SM8 | Putter: Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas H7

I'm on about page 80 and not really enjoying it. I'm right in the middle of the PED stuff, and Bamberger's own opinions are clear, and I'm really getting annoyed by the jumping around he's doing. We're in 2009, then we're up to 2017, then 2013, then back to the 2010 Masters, etc. It's annoying, particularly for a book that purports to be about 2017 onward.

And the PED stuff is bullshit. It appears to be entirely based on the hearsay of Tony Bosch, with no corroboration of literally anything.

I’m on page 100 or so and MY GOD this is why books usually have chapters. I was extremely unsurprised when he mentioned that his editor also edited the Benedict and Keteyian book.

I finished the book, didn’t like it at all really. It jumps around so much. I learned nothing new. I’m decidedly not a Bamberger fan, apparently.

Double bogey.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas · Posted

      Day 609 - 2026-06-02 Was going to play, but the course was very obviously going to be slow, so went to the range instead. And even got (sorry @DeadMan), some putting practice in. Mostly got help at the range (a set of eyes), and mostly helped someone else at the putting green.

      Day 273 6‐2 more reconnecting the arm infront. Wrist arching through swing. Its looking better than it was, but no where close to where it needs to be. For some reason having trouble with the arching lately.

      Day 2 (2 Jun 26) - worked on keeping arms connected to torso by using stretch band.  Hit 1/4 backswing shots to reinforce the feel of the connection.

      Carl Pettersson is the Pancake Zone. The Swedish Pancake Club, Ranked - Fried Egg Golf Keegan Bradley just won his fifth PGA Tour event and became the latest member of the Swedish Pancake Club. Here's a ranking of that exclusive group. It's his sixth win in a decent length career. He's nondescript. I think it says he doesn't make waves, wins some second-tier events, hasn't had many close finishes in the top three in majors… and that only hard-core golfers follow the week-to-week. P.S. Five wins as personified by Carl Pettersson is the Pancake Zone. From Shotgun Start, I should say. It's not Carl per se, it's five wins.
