Day 242 (1 Jan 25) - Club had their annual black-eyed peas 2-person superball tournament today. Partnered up with the chief greenskeeper’s dad (we play well off each other). We placed 3rd in our flight - missed some key putts and got too greedy on a few holes. Still a solid day of play and a great way to kick off the year. -

Day 93 - 2025-01-01 Didn't feel great, so continued the backswing work. Will try to start the HackMotion work/check-in tomorrow to see if I might begin with the downswing. -

Day 22: 1/1/2025 Had a long range session yesterday. The range was closed today so I got to do a bunch of practice in front of the mirror. Mostly slow motion, but some fast swings too. I've been using a mark on the mirror to see if my head is moving all over the place and so far it doesn't seem to be, so that seems good. I also made special notice of how open or closed the club face is during my back swing and even my down swing. Feels like I may be over-doing the closed face at the top, but I haven't really seen that in the ball flight, so I'll keep an eye on it. -

Just wanted to update an old thread on replacements for The Club Caddy Clip. The reason for this post is to let those who remember "The Club Caddy" that held your clubs upright when needing more than one club, around the green, on the green, approach shots or whatever, to keep the grips dry and keep you from bending over. I broke mine about 3yrs ago, so I was determined to develop my own design, which is close to the original, with a wider and beefier stance for stability. I have had success and used mine for over 2yrs now and sold a few Internationally also. Limited Supply because I manufacture these myself. Takes time to replenish supplies to assemble. Comes with bag clip and carabiner. See attached photos. My grass, where these were taken, is 3.5 to 4 inches long. You can see it stands no problem on flat, on hill, which is about 30 to 45 degrees, grip facing uphill, grip facing downhill. No having to fiddle with it to stand correctly. I know there is skepticism out there about just laying your clubs on a towel and then picking them up when finished instead of purchasing an accessory that stands them up, so you don't forget them. We.ve all, or at least most of us, forgot our clubs around the green at some time or another. So, you can possibly lose your expensive club, or just purchase this accessory for less than $20. Choice is yours. Go to theclubpin.com to purchase yours now. -

Late to the party here. But, yeah, most of us have gone through something like this. I've been playing since 1993. My HCP has been as high as 36 and as low as single digits a couple of times. In addition to what everyone is saying above. Some really good advice from @saevel25, @3jacker, @gbogey and of course, @iacas. Here's another thing to try. Find some kids in your life that you like. Invite them to a par-3 course. (We have one by us where most of the holes are 50 to 90 yards. The longest hole is like 140 yards.) Play 9-holes at a par-3 course with 1 to 3 young kids. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until you are smiling and loving golf again. Back when my kids were little, my wife and I would take our son and daughter out to the par-3 course. Then she and I hit all the tee shots then the two of them would chip or putt until they get the ball in the hole. My wife and my son vs me and my daughter made for a pretty close competition and a lot of fun. Be sure to laugh at yourself.
