Ok, having watched this event the past few days the final match is a runaway.  Getting to the Finals is a big deal, I think we can agree on that. What bothers me is that Monet Chun is out there by herself.  Looks like mom is there pushing the cart and offers little help.  Baba has a local caddy with course knowledge which is good move!

What I don’t understand is why Big Blue Michigan golf did not have her college coach on the bag? Ok, maybe she wanted a mom/daughter experience or perhaps Chun declined an offer. I’ll never know.

But as appearances go, Chun is out there by herself. She’s good, but perhaps having a coach or a local caddy like Baba has versus a parent on the bag would have been a better move.

But give Baba credit, she has played well and will eventually put this away soon.

Chun got to the finals, where she was outplayed, period. I don't think her choice of caddie hurt her - if anything, a stronger case could be made that having her mom on the bag helped her, as she outperformed expectations and reached the finals.

Yes she was. Good point but in watching Baba’s caddy who was one of 13 local caddies out there I feel that Chun short changed herself with mom on the bag.  Having a caddy local or otherwise like her College Coach may have helped her. Probably still would have lost but perhaps the match would have been closer. Who knows.

Mens Amateur is up next.

    • Day 214: did a stack session. 
    • Day 11: 2/18/25 Weight shift drills followed by slow motion swings.
    • Patrick Cantlay standing over the ball at the 2018 PGA Championship haha. Dunno what the story behind this is. But at the 2012 Players, Kevin Na was going through some rough swing thought stuff. This article I linked below says he was fixing early extension at the time while also trying to get used to feeling less weight in heels at address, and tho he hit it better than with his old swing, he had a really tough time with it, even in practice rounds. https://vault.si.com/vault/2016/01/18/kevin-na-fit-be-tied-just-ask-him   Anyway, just a couple high level examples of this.  
    • Yes, but they break every 5-7 years. So… Meh. I'm looking at alternatives. I also don't like how they call it a lifetime warranty… but give you $25 off a product (I was looking to get the Munich if I stuck with MoneyClamps).
    • Day 141 - 2025-02-18 Did work at home. I have a few long days at Golf Evolution so I didn't want to spend a LOT of time there today. 😄
