The day I beat Walter Hagen ! Hagens Follly is a 145 yd par 3 over a ravine to an elevated green - legend says he was leading the PA championship & took a 8 on the hole & lost ! 70 years later it was my turn & I amazingly hit the green & made about a 30 ft putt for my first birdie - only the story makes it memorable ...

Hole in one! Playing at 140 yard 5 hole with rental clubs Pulled out 8 iron and it sail exactly how I wanted a bit of fade/push/slice to the right side of the green where the flagstick was The green was slightly elevated and we were able to see the ball suddenly disappear at it roll a bit on the green I never play this course before and wasn't going to get excited until I walked on the green cause I wasn't sure if the ball just disappeared cause it just roll off the green Anyway I ran up to the pin and saw my ball in the cup I was really elated. The only thing I did different was trying a vardon type grip where my pinkie was pressing over my left forefinger. I tried to play with that grip rest of round but no more hole in one. My left hand felt sore afterwards. Maybe I will switch from my interlock grip.

    • Day 33 (13 Dec 25) - Worked on weight shift and resetting the left heel during downswing (after listening to a discussion on Golf School this morning on PGA Tour Radio).  It centered on how Jack Nicklaus lifted his lead heel and how long driver champs do as well.  Taking cues from that discussion, worked an exaggerated feel of the left heel working doing some swing drill in the backyard using the 7i.  Wrapped up the session by hitting a few low bump and run shots in the backyard - keeping the process slow and exaggerated.  
    • Day 123 12-13 Rotation and getting to lead side work. Recorded face on. Hit a few foam balls but did plenty of rehearsals today.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
