If others have the flexibility, I'm not limited to weekends.

I think others are probably more likely to be able to come on a Saturday, but basically… any time that Thursday (July 27?) through the August 6th date or so is open.

End of July is better for me. The August date conflicts with a wedding I am attending.

On my end, July 28-30 is better.

Y'all may be the first group we have in Golf Evolution. We'll barely be done with everything by then.

Well… if we're looking at weekends (with Friday being a possible start day: say some could arrive Friday, Saturday could be mostly instructional, Sunday y'all could play and go home)…

  • July 28-30
  • August 4-6

Thoughts?

Ugh.... This is tough. 
I'm not sure I could do either of those weekends. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

My life is hard. 

Plan it, for when ever you guys can do it. I'm sure I'm out on the 4th. The 28th is a long shot. I'll do what I can.

I want to learn. I want to play. But my weekends are pretty hairy right now. Mid week would actually be easier. Go figure.

If more people were interested in doing it mid-week, I would be able to, just don't think it's a a realistic option.

Just want to bump this up and see if those who expressed interest have taken a look at the dates @iacas proposed and if one works better than the other:

Sadly, I don't think those dates would work for me.  My full swing is in a bad place right now.  It's neither my old swing nor the swing I'm trying to achieve.  Sometimes it's more like one, sometimes more like the other, and sometimes something somewhere in-between.

So, unless I'm mistaken, @saevel25would be good for next weekend, @Carl3can't do next weekend bc he has a wedding (congratulations 🎉) but may be able to do the following one, @SEMI_Duffercan't do either, @ChetlovesMercan't do weekends but may be able to do weekdays, and @iacaswill only be available until mid August.

That about right?

Yeah, I know. My schedule sucks right now. 
I'm sorry. 

Even though my daughter's birthday is in August, she's having her party on the weekend of July 29th. 

My sister's birthday is August 4th and she's actually coming to stay at our place that weekend. 

The rest of my August is pretty jammed up on the weekends. Sorry, man.

Yeah.  Sorry :-(

I'm having a rough time training my brain to swing more from the bottom up than from the top down.  I'm making progress, but, it's very slow going for me.

Part of the problem is I spent far too long learning how to swing a club incorrectly.  ("Incorrectly" in both meanings: Both what I was learning and how I was training it.)  Now I'm having to train myself out of all that.

I wish I'd learned of either the people with whom I'm training or @iacas when I started out, but, it is what it is.  Just gotta keep grinding until i get there.  Luckily, I actually enjoy the process :-) (most of the time).

The August weekend may be the best.

We're still doing a LOT of work at Golf Evolution 3.0.

We are not… because I can't say for certain that we'll be open fully.

I talked to @RFKFREAK the other day and I think he's just planning to come mid-week (next week) now.

If you're interested in coming on the 29th, Matt, let me know and if we're open "enough" you're more than welcome. Much shorter trip for you than Christian.

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
