It was fun as always, even though I could barely walk at times. It’s always good to meet people in person that I’ve interacted with online. I am a little disappointed we didn’t get to have dinner together and just kind of chat with people not within our own groups but a 5 hour round will do that. I hope everyone gets home safe. Looking forward to the next outing.

Remember everyone… you should have posted your round to GHIN last night. Some did. Most did not.

It was fun. My phone said I walked 4.7 miles and climbed 20 floors, despite riding in a cart. Cart path only was a bummer but that stuff happens. The weather was pretty good compared to what I was prepared for a couple days ago. I brought my full rain suit, umbrella, rain gloves, golf bag cover and a change of clothes.

The course selected was a very nice one. The bunkers were crap but the balance of the layout was interesting and challenging.

The TST group is a diverse collection of golfers who are easy to hang with. It was a pleasure to join everyone yesterday.

@StuM, thank you for plugging away at this for all those months of messages and changes.

@iacas, thanks for pulling together a fun format for the competition.

@ChetlovesMer, thanks for not driving our cart off a cliff and making my wife a widow.

Thanks. I didn’t love it but I think it was fair, and different.

Open to disagreement on this as always.

Yea, looks like they were doing work on some of them too.

I liked the course, it looks more daunting than it is. It was a fair test at par 70.

Least I could do. 
I enjoyed that round. You're a great cart-mate. 
 

Hope to do it again sometime. ... I mean play golf ... not drive the cart over a cliff. 

BTW - I'm still pretty sure those punks too my ball. :angry:

Thanks @StuM for putting this together. Always good to be able to put names and faces to the site handles. I enjoyed the round. Got home at 4 AM safely. Hope everyone did too. 

Looking forward to seeing y'all and some more next time! 

P.S. bunkers were okay. Just had to punch the bounce down into the 'sand' pretty firmly to not skull it. But yeah, other than couple of mini par 5s posing as par 4s it was a fair and fun course.

That's awesome. Would love to go to one of these one day. I recognize Scott, Bill and Erik. And a couple of you guys from your swing threads. Good stuff, guys. Sounds like a great time.

Glad you all enjoyed.   Todsy’weather was fantastic for golf so the few of us that opted to stay the night were rewarded.

It was wet due to rain that ended 3 hours before we all arrived, but… it wasn't bad. It was reasonably warm, not super windy…

    • The hype with the LAB Putters is something ive kept a keen eye on but i havent actually tried one... yet!! I use a SeeMore PCB and have done for around 8 years now and it was a gamechanger for me. It was the first time i had been fitted for a putter and from then ive totally bought into the fact that the technology in the putters makes a massive difference The only issue i have with LAB was that i did quiz them on Instagram what the difference between my PCB and a LAB Putter would be as the PCB from what i can find is just as balanced as the LAB Putters, however LAB couldnt tell me what the difference was and just said they didnt beleive in SeeMore Technology, but i wanted to know 'Why'!!  So yeah, the tech im sure works and think if anyone hasnt gamed a putter like LAB or SeeMore where custom fitting is crucial, then you gotta give it a go!
    • Day 335 - More putting work, with the focus on setup and hitting the sweet spot. 
    • Day 153: putted for a while using the 2 cups drill inside. Working on bead primarily. Contact was really good. 
    • Day 8: 12/17/2024 Okay I took my new PPJ swing thought to the range today. I wasn't sure I was quite ready to do so, but I'm glad I did.  When I got it right it was good... really good. When I got it wrong it was a major fail. I hit lots of really ugly ones. But I didn't let that deter me. I stayed committed and focused on the PPJ and I avoided any temptation to go back to what I was doing before just so that I could "look" better at the range. I'm pretty excited about what I saw when I got it right.  I hit the 6 iron mostly (nearly all block work today). I also hit about 6 balls each with the PW, 8I, 5W and Driver. Those had varying degrees of success. I did crack one drive that let me feel and see what the changes will look like once I get fully trained.  Anyway, I'm going to go back to the mirror work for a couple of more days before bringing it back to the range. I do feel like if I can get this right my swing will improve a lot. So I think its worth the effort. I liked the way it looked on GEARs when I get it right, and I like the results I got at the range when I got it right. Now the goal is to work towards getting it right more often.
