Hey guys, new to the forum, looking forward to reading everything that you guys have posted.

I'm trying to get serious about my golf game, still shooting up near 100, so I have a lot to learn!!!

I am a petroleum landman, which means I have some free time to swing the sticks, so I need to improve my game!!!

If you have any advice for me at any time, feel free to let me know!

I help big companies to innovate their (online) marketing. Not with optimization for search engines or Adwords, but by inventing new technologies to use in marketing. Also I help them set up their big data warehouse and assist them in setting up a system to find and use the right data. By big companies I mean companies with >$50 million marketing budget as the solutions I'm hired to build usually aren't run off the mill :)

I build computer models of commercial scale buildings to test energy and comfort performance of proposed designs for an international engineering consultancy firm.

Only really get time to play golf at the weekend but I'm consistently shooting better than my handicap in general play so I figure I'm doing something right.

I am a detailer and project manager for a steel fabrication company. We fabricate structural steel for mid-size projects like malls, shopping centers, theaters, and small office buildings.

I spend a little time drawing our shop drawings on AutoCad, but most of my time is spent with dealing with change orders and getting information that the drawings don't specify. A lot of emailing and waiting, so I have periods of down time throughout the day. I'm sure a lot of that will be spent here now that I have found this site.

I'm a prison chaplain...and justify my golf playing as a way to develop inner humility and to bolster my senior pastor's confidence (he's about 30 strokes better than me).  :-)

I am a machinist, I run manual mills, lathes, grinders, as well as 3 axis cnc machining centers and turning centers.  The company I work for manufactures new and rebuilt Gardner double disc grinders, Blanchard surface grinders, and other specialty grinding machines, mostly for big companies that make brake rotors, bearings, tools, and piston rings. Pretty cool job, lots of precision work, wish my short game w as as accurate as my measuring tools.  I also fix computers as side work....

I'm an RF Systems Engineer for Motorola.

I'm currently trying to (weather pending) hit the golf course and range a combined 4 times a week. It's tough with work and other commitments, but we'll see....

Typically if I can make it to the golf course by 7, I can finish 9 before it's dark.

    • Day 24: did a stack session. Worked a bit on downswing feels during breaks. 
    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
