Well, I hate to admit this, but no 300 yard drive, despite witnesses, unless my GG is not accurate.  This happens all the time at my league, guys tell me I hit it 280 then GG tells me only 250. Here is my GG from Whispering Woods #17, it registered 277. I'm not complaining, it was still a nice poke that I was happy with.

What I'd recommend… 8am to 9am - I get started with @StuM and @dennyjones. 9am to 10am - I help out @Chris Brooks and @Carl3. 10am to 10:45am - I help out @saevel25 and @ChetlovesM

Hey guys. This was totally worth it.  I had a blast and I feel like I have new stuff to work on.  PLUS - @StuM proved he CAN hit a 300 yard drive! It happened I witnessed it.

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 f

@StuMyou do know you’re supposed to round up to closest 25 yard interval right? Sort of like pumping gas in the Netherlands.

And YES, it was worth it.  I feel we should look at doing this again, maybe in the spring?

Happy to have you again. I’d again recommend playing before coming. If you want to play afterwards too, okay. But sometimes that doesn’t go well as you’re tired AND thinking about a lot that’s nowhere near ingrained yet.

Ah. Were you going by hole yardage? Doglegs… On the other hand it WAS wet.

Agree, day before and REST after lesson.  I was definitely done after the 5 hour group lesson.

Yes, looked at yardage and forgot to consider the dog-leg.  Still, on my league I will hit one on a straight hole znxvghd guys try to tell me I am 30 yards further than I am.

edit. Changed “fog-leg” to “dog-leg”

Dude, what are you doing? 
Don't let facts ruin a good drive. I will take the stand and swear it was 305! After all, "Anyone can hit a 300 yard drive."

Thanks for the invite...just saw this, been a busy summer/fall. 

In San Diego so I couldn't have made it anyway, but keep me in mind for the next one. God knows my game could use it...

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      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.
