@StuM, this is the "Ryan M" I was noting above. Ryan is going to talk to "Mike D" about playing too.

Found this vlog of The Virtues, figured I’d share with the rest of the class 😉

Thank you to everyone who was involved in organizing this outing and for everyone who came to be a part of it. It was great to get together with some old friends and meet new ones.

I would be up for it as long as it does not interfere with my LIV event flash mob participant schedule. I'm not allowed to say anything until February though. Other than that I'm always free.

He’s going to room with Mike D, who needs to come on and say he’s coming, so yes.

I was at Eaglesticks today to watch my son in a college tournament. Course is in decent, but not great, shape for this early in the season. Greens look nice, fairways were ok, couple rough spots in the rough. Bunkers were a disaster and were considered GUR. LCP in the fairways with several plugged balls. There was significant flooding in the area this week, so I assume that affected the bunkers a lot. However, the bunkers have not been in good shape any of the times I have been there.

Probably a concession they have made over the years. A lot of golf courses can't afford to maintain them. I think they should just fill them and leave only a few where needed. Or it takes years for them to put in new bunkers since it costs so much to do so. 

Yea, with the amount of rain Ohio has gotten, especially in the lower half of the state, I am not shocked it isn't in the best of shape. I doubt they could get equipment out there without risk of damaging the ground (tire ruts).

I'm trying to talk my wife into letting me. We just bought another house, put money into our other one to get it ready to rent. So convincing her to let me spend money on a golf trip, on top of being away for a full day can be..... challenging

You could sell some blood plasma for some extra cash. 🙃

You are correct about this trend. I'm sure we've all seen it. While not the end of the world, it's kind of too bad.

I play Bent Tree a lot here in Central Ohio. I like the place, and have a good relationship with the folks there. 8 - 10 years ago their bunkers were always in great condition. Then they slowly got worse and worse until 2021, when the bunkers were down-right-unplayable. Recently they have removed a bunch of them and started working on the ones they kept. They are trying to strike a balance between having fewer bunkers but ones which are better maintained. I think they are doing the right thing. 

You hit the nail on the head "I think they should just fill them and leave only a few where needed." No matter how nice the fairways and greens are, and even if you don't end up in a bunker, walking by bunker after bunker that's hardened, filled with weeds and unmaintained just gives you an opinion about the course that's not particularly positive.  

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Sorry I won't make it this time. Only missed my spring visit to Erie by 5 weeks. Maybe my absence will cause it to not rain.  Have fun everyone.

@StuM, I imagine you're still planning to keep spots open if, say, we have 14 people committed, leaving two spots open on a particular day. Is that right? Four foursomes… with two open spots?

I'm going to mentioning this to some people I know, of course. Looking like we'll get to 16 on day 1, and 14 on day 2.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
