Wow, mediocre is right. I looked at the Grand Rapids Chapter results and they were ... well... mediocre. Anyone scoring in the 80's is going to be a winner and pickup "money" in the area of $1.13 or so.

So if someone "good" joins and they shoot 79, do they get kicked out?

If you break 80 in any MGA event you are disqualified.

Yep. I got one of the bronze tickets after winning the Brattish open.

So having the round of your life can get you kicked out.  Seems a bit arbitrary.  If the person has multiple good rounds (in the 70's) then it might be appropriate

What's in the bag

Not kicked out, just disqualified from that event.

This will help explain it a bit.

Very nice!  One of our guys got a bronze ticket last year.  Unfortunately, he caught Covid and couldn't go.  Our chapter leader spoke to Jon and he's been allowed to cash it in this year.  Are you going Wednesday or Thursday?  I'm flying in Wednesday afternoon for the 3 rounds.

I'm driving up Thursday. Only playing the two rounds for the tournament. This old body can't handle three days in a row.

The last time I looked our chapter is bring 23 guys. It blows me away that the Yellowknife chapter is bring 21 guys or so from Northern Canada.

Wow, 23!!  I know, Yellowknife always brings a large group and they bring the party!  We're only sending myself and 2 others.  Our average age in the chapter is ~65.  Our outgoing CL, and 6 other members, all live in the same 55+ community!  LOL

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      Those are better. Watch where the shaft points at the top, too. Bit over-rolled there (laid off).

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug · Posted

      First swings at after a 2.5 month forced hiatus. No surgery in the forecast at the moment! Doc said okay to start easing in gently over a few weeks. The effort is barely 30% here but felt solid.  I think my swing changed a few years ago after my right ankle injury (weight shift profile). I wonder if this may bring about another change. I certainly won't pivot on to the knee (left) aggressively any time soon, if ever. Could even be a good thing..heh.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      I mean, I just assume he mistyped something. 🙂 Promos were on X/Twitter and today I put the promo on IG. The full video is landscape (not good for Instagram) and too big for X (file size), so it's always been on YouTube.

      Slomo video of me working on the arms raising thing in the backswing. I think this is better, albeit I’m going fairly slowly and then stopping. Too darn cold to go outside and I don’t have room to safely make a full motion indoors, so this will have to do till I can make it to the range.

      Very concise and to the point.  I can attest; it makes the golf swing easier if you keep that right arm under control.
