I was bored in Detroit at a conference and I caught that article about a contest in Golf Magazine: What's the most creative thing you can create out of golf balls, golf tees and peanut butter.

Within an hour on the cell phone I had 3,000 former range balls, 3,000 tees and 50 pounds of peanut butter (all donated) and a teacher who was crazy enough to let about 50 high school kids try and pull it off. In all, we had about 15 entries...well, attempts at entries...some of it just ended up a big mess.

So, today after school, students spent up to five hours creating their "art."

I posted three of the photos here . It was a hoot. And, in the end, the golf balls and tees are all being cleaned to be used at the "tent" ranges in the gyms of the local high school.

(And yes, we did cheat a little bit by one group painting the balls, but this is all made out of peanut butter and golf balls. It was also pouring rain, so we used half-inch insulation foam as are bases on a cafeteria floor.)

p.s. The top one is an entire Pac-Man screen. The second one is the painted balls. The third one is just a complete commerical sell-out

    • I’ve been seriously considering the QuadMAX lately, but it seems like such overkill for individual use. One can dream…   Day 3 - Played around with setup, swinging while standing too close, too far away, and “just right.” Need to film this stuff, since I know feeling too close is where I should be. 
    • Day 157 - 2025-03-06 Got the QuadMAX back today. Was going to spend a good 60 minutes practicing, but spent it on the phone as they fixed the front panel, but… the ethernet port wasn't fixed. So that's great. 😛 Got some time in working on some chipping with a student earlier in the day.
    • Day 230: did a stack session. 
    • I like this one. Wyndham has two golf swings. With his driver he is pretty much elite from a force plate and 3D measurement perspective. With his irons, he doesn't use his legs correctly. Weight transfer from right heel to left toe instead of weight going to the back heel of the left leg. Soft left leg through impact. Way more upper body focused, and so much that his kinematic sequence was off with the irons. The torso was starting before the lower body.  I think some good drills in the video. Hitting the ball with the right foot back to force him to post on the left leg sooner. Then you can start creeping the right foot back to the address position.  I like the gym drills for practicing correct kinematic sequence. Just really focusing on the legs driving the arm movement. It is just good offseason work as well, and in season. You don't always need a club to work on something related to the golf swing.  I still nitpick on them saying that you push off with the right foot. 😁
    • Mar 6 2025.  Caught up on posting - feel like I’m off to a solid start - 6 of 18 holes have birdies and parred all at my local course.
