Hey guys, I know everyone has a lot more free time lately so I thought Id share a video I made at Pasatiempo Golf Club in Santa Cruz, California. The course is designed by Alister Mackenzie and is one of my favorite courses I have ever played. I did not play extremely well in the video and I believe I shot 76. My best shot shot was probably the second shot on the first hole which nailed the flag stick a few inches up but ended up bouncing off the green. Enjoy,

I've been Playing Golf for: 5 years
My typical ball flight is: little fade
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: pull

Are you after some help with your swing? If so, some good slow-motion videos would be helpful.

Mind the angles.

Nice shooting.

I think your sequence is bit off tho, upper body starts the transition ahead of lower body and you don't shift balanced onto your front leg. It shows as your head diving towards the ball instead of straight up and down in down the line view and loosing balance in follow through falling back towards your rear leg especially on shots you really go after.

Watch some pros footage in youtube and notice how they start the transition from the top of the backswing by turning their front ass cheek back while the rear cheek stays still. This gets them to really strong "squatty" position and shifts the lower spine balanced ontop of the front leg and you rarely see them loosing balance.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Hole 6, 185 uphill par 3, wind out of the right. I hit a 7 iron to 5-FT left of the pin. The ball landed about 185.5 yards. I drained the putt for a birdie, and most likely a skin.  2nd place is more of a best swing made. 110 yard wedge shot, where I did what I wanted in the back swing and downswing.  I hit a 75% partial wedge 95%. It was flushed, flighted, and beautiful to watch fly over the green. 🤣. I will need to redial in the wedges sometime. Since I am making an effort to make my former 3/4 swing length my full swing length.

      Anyone Else Stick a GPS Tag in Their Golfbag?

      Is that like "the longest yardstick you can find"? I don't have Airtags but I'd call all of them Airtags too.!

      Wind and Putting?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Yea, that makes sense.  I remember an Open tournament when they brought out the wind meter one day because balls were being blown around the green. I think it was 45+ sustained, which probably means 60 mph gusts.  I think for the most part, it isn't something that needs to be taken into account.  Also, a golf ball is designed to optimally move through the air. It has better aerodynamics than a sphere.  Thanks for your expertise on this. That makes sense. I know about how wind diminishes the lower in height you go. I didn't know it went near zero at the ground. I deal more with tall structures (utility poles), and we have to take into account height and impacts of wind on the pole. A bit of experience, but wasn't sure how close to zero, non-impactful it was on the golf ball on the ground.

      Day 2 (7 Aug 25) - More work on tempo with mid-irons, moved to wedges for the balance of the drill.
