I have been lurking here for awhile and finally decide to join. I do enjoy reading all the posts and hopefully will chime in from time to time.

I am in Baton Rouge, LA and have been playing for 3 years. Recently I was introduced to the teachings of The Golfing Machine (TGM) by Homer Kelly. This has helped me lower my handicap by over 10 strokes fairly quickly and I hope to lower even more this year.

Welcome aboard. I think you'll find the sandtrap an inviting place to hang out.

How did the courses in your area fair in the storms down there? I'm sure there are probably some in much worse shape than others. I'd think the impact would have been pretty tough on some of them.

According to the Zurich Classic website, the TPC of Louisiana (New Orleans area) which held this PGA event last year has enough damage that it will be held once again at English Turn in April 2006. Funny thing is that English Turn is only about 25 mile away from the TPC. Go figure.

They're trying to get the event back to the TPC, I read, I think.

    • Day 171: mirror work while watching tv. Working on cleaning up the backswing stuff. 
    • Day 25: 1/4/2025 Mirror day. I did some good mirror work with a 7 iron. Once again focus here is on pushing the carpet away with my lead leg. Sort of like I'm sitting in a office chair and want to scoot across the room.  Later, I used the putting mirror on the putting mat. Rolling 8 footers down a straight line on the mat. 
    • Day 96 - 2025-01-04 Fighting it. Keeping my streak alive, but not by a lot. Got all of seven minutes or so in today. Maybe eight. 😛 Still backswing. Trip next week might be interesting, ha ha. Not gonna worry about it.
    • What does this have to do with the topic?
    • The Top flite Gamer, designed by Callaway, was once an excellent budget ball and won many gold awards from Golf Digest. The original Gamer was a 3 piece ball with a urethane cover. The 2024 version is a 2 piece ball with a cheaper ionomer cover. The top ball below clearly shows the cheaper 2024 2 piece Gamer and the bottom is the 2021 3 piece Gamer.   DSG acquired the brand from Callaway and has systematically destroyed it.
