I just watched Rick Price win the Nationwide Players Cup and he was barely holding in his tears.

9 years on the nationwide...never made it to the PGA. Finally, after winning this tournament and $180,000 at age 40, he's going to make it. 3rd on the money list...wow.

Golf is a great game in the fact that it doesn't discriminate against age. If you can play, you can play. The thing about Rick Price is i watched him for days and he kept hitting the ball into the rough, behind trees...crazy lies that he managed to get out of and win it. I am so happy for this man! Congratulations, Congratulations Rick Price!

I was crying too watching him on TV. I think it's so cool to see the guy finally win big.

Actually, it has been 19 years! Talk about perseverance. In the PGATour.com article about his win, it indicate that Rick's father tried to talk him into an early retirement a few years back. A couple of years and one $180k purse will make a believer out of anyone. I look forward to watching Rick on the Tour next year as he lives his (and my) lifelong dream.

      My Journey to Straighter Iron Shots

      By MiuraMan ·

      A few months back I purchased the following swing aid on Amazon ($130). It is solidly made of steel and heavy and stable in use. I use it both at the range and at home. Swing Plate Dual PRO by Jamie Brittain - Swing Analyzer Aid - Fits Standard 8mm Alignment Rod Sticks - Teaching Swing Plane Perfector - Indoor/Outdoor Golfing Practice. This winter I set a goal for myself to improve my backswing/downswing to be more consistent and on plane. I had a two way miss with my approach shots this past golf season. I have a hitting set-up in my garage, but I needed something to provide feedback while swinging the club. I came across the Swing Plate while browsing YouTube.   I set it up with the correct angles for my 8 iron. I started out with just the back rod in place, which prevents me from getting too far inside on the backswing. Started out slow and as I got comfortable increased my swing speed. Now I also came across a YouTube video on building a better backswing and getting more width in the backswing and added that to my practice. That video is here:    This video is a bit wordy since you are basically a fly on the wall as Ian gets a lesson. It took a few replays to be able to get the substance of the instruction. It was well worth the effort. Over the last two weeks I have been able to get out on the course and gauge how successful my practice has been. Overall, my consistency with approach shots has improved greatly. Incorporating the added width in my swing has also added a few yards to all my clubs.  What has your off-season training been like?
