For those going to Erie for the Oct. 9th Group Lesson, @dennyjones& I were going to try to golf Whispering Woods on Saturday afternoon however the course is closed that day for a large outing.  We may be able to golf on Friday but I have not spoken to @dennyjonesabout that yet as our travel time is @ 4.5 to 5.5 hours and not sure about doing 18 holes after so much time in a car.  We could also look for a different course to play on Saturday.  Comments & Thoughts are welcomed.

They tied my favorite team, the Mariners, for most wins in a season.  116.  Though the Cubs did it in 154 games.  Which is the same number of off topic posts I've made over the summer...

Green Meadow and Downing look like options for Saturday - I haven’t called to check.

Downing is a better course than Green Meadows.

Depending on the direction y'all are going I could recommend courses east or west, too.

@dennyjones& I are coming from Michigan so West of Erie is easiest but I do not have a problem with East or South either.  I do think any courses North of Erie might be too much water for me, I do not think I could clear Lake Erie with even my best tee shot.

Little Mountain is barely off 90. Good course. Solid.

West of Erie.

@dennyjonesand I have a 1:40pm Tee Time as Whispering Woods on Friday Oct. 8th.  We have room for 2 more in our foursome, these will be 1st come 1st serve.  Just post to this thread and I will see them.  They did have a 1:50 available if we need another tee time.

Also, We are staying at the Avalon in Erie, across the street from Golf Evolution and got a room, double occupancy, for $149 per night.  If any need a room give them a call and mention Golf Evolution, that did it for us.  

We are still open for a round on Saturday afternoon.  @iacasmention Little Mountain which is closer to Cleveland (@ 1 hr. 15 minute drive from Erie).  I'd do that but think closer to Erie would be better since we have the lessons until 1pm.  We have the option to stay another night in Erie if that helps accommodate a round of golf on Saturday closer to Erie.  

 

Also, we are up for dinner/drinks on Friday night for any of you that are in town.

Cost will probably be a little more than the normal hourly rate since you'll all be getting a decent amount more than what you get in a normal lesson.

I think we'll set that at $100. Normal rate for 45-minute lessons for me is $80, so $100 for five hours of "time" at Golf Evolution seems okay.

Cash is preferred, but checks are fine, PayPal is fine, credit cards are okay if they're not really thick (our Square reader is older).

I’ll join this foursome - my timing is flexible and this will allow me to drive back east after the lesson on Saturday. Will join you for dinner on Friday as well. My wife / sometime caddy might also join. Thanks for arranging @StuM!

Just to confirm and not overbook the tee, your wife would be caddy only, or would she golf? Either is fine.

She won’t be playing - at the most walking with me. If she even comes out to Erie with me! 🤷‍♂️ 

Sorry for the confusion.

    • 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.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings. 
    • IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
