I work for a Network Manufacturer with HQ's located in Silicon Valley. I have been consumed with other "hobbies"  for the last three 5 years or more but am now excited about picking up the game again. I work from a home office but do a lot of travel, mostly in the Western USA.

I'm in the Navy and will soon pick back up as a business major.  Started golfing heavily a few months ago with hopes to compete in, at least, local tournaments.  Unfortunately, I fractured my spine while snowboarding on New Year's Day, but I've healed enough to get out a play a little bit.  Played in a scramble over the past weekend and discovered I can drive the ball over 300 yards, straight.  Ready to fully heal so I can get back out there full time.

I am retired.  First from the Army after 21yrs, then from corporate life. I was the Sr Director of Technology Services working with media companies. One of our projects was http://www.augusta.com this at one time(before an disagreement with the PGA) was the largest Masters Tournament web site.

I used to get to go out prior to make sure the ISDN lines were functioning prior to the tournament starting.  The disagreement with the PGA was over live real time scoring online.  Still this site drew over 65 million page views last year.

Now, I take care of the honey-do lists, fly my airplane and play golf.

I am a strength and conditioning coach working for a MLB organization. I am currently with a minor league team and loving every minute of it. And it affords me plenty of time to golf.

I love to talk training so if anyone has questions, do not hesitate to ask.

    • Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down. 
    • Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner. 
    • Day 78 - 2026-03-10 Backswing work at the net with foam balls, a few real ball swings.
    • Day 525 - 2026-03-10 Got some work in before lessons today (was going to play after but it decided to POUR). Then like three minutes in later on.
    • Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
