Updated swing. Standing taller, weakened grip, and trying to not have as much wasted motion.  

Day 18 - 2024-10-18 Bunch of yard work, so I stayed home and did mirror work.

Day 169 (18 Oct 24) - Friday men's scramble - only 10 playing today so it was two threesomes and one foursome (older guys and chilly weather don't mix too well).  Anyway - solid day overall (won both par 3 closest to the pins - helps when you are the only one to hit the green on both holes) and was part of the winning team in terms of overall score.   Wound up winning enough to cover my scramble fee and cart fee with a $1 to the good.  Overall the round was solid - 8 of 14 fairways hit, 7 of 18 GIR (nice to have that kind of ball striking day), putting was a little off as I had 4 three putts (for a total of 36putts - a few strokes here or there and it would have been a sub-80 round!)  The greens were super slick (the greenskeepers are shooting for rolling on glass...that was from the mouth of one of them), which means if you were putting downhill and missed the cup you may be looking at an even longer uphill come backer (had a couple myself).  Really getting comfortable with the short irons and wedge play.  The latter was super solid as I had a number of up and downs for par that were less than 5' for the putt.  A good day of golf. 

With the way concert tickets have gone recently and the location of the event, I am not overly surprised. It is disappointing, but I am sure people will pay it. I went to a practice round at the Straits and to Erik's point, it was rather dull to sit and watch a few groups come through. I wouldn't pay this if it was back at the Straits again. 

Day 93: putted on my mat for a bit while working. Making sure the handle is more raised at address, and then just making a smooth stroke.
