Well I made it out to the first day, practice round, at Oak Tree in Edmond, Oklahoma. It was the first time I have been to the course and I can honestly say it is AMAZING. The course was in amazing shape and people were already showing up, just for the practice round.

It is pretty big for Oklahoma, we dont get many big golf tournaments. It is expecting 75,000 for the weekend.

Oklahoma is also getting the 2007 PGA Championship, but it will be in Tulsa.

If anyone lives around Oklahoma, I recommend making a trip out to Edmond, it will be worth your while.

Do me a favor and drag Cody's butt out there, wouldja? Did you take a digital camera? I had a good time attending the Senior PGA last year (Laurel Valley CC, near Latrobe, PA).

Well, to be honest Erik, I tried. I had two tickets, one for me and I got him one, but he didnt want to miss a day of work, I tried. I didnt take my camera, I wish I did though. You would be amazed at how beautiful they have the course. I know another guy that was going to take his camera, I will see if he did and took some pictures. If he did, I will post them for the board to see. I even called Cody up and told him he made a mistake not going, lol. I think he knew he should have went with me.

It was still early, so alot of the top players were not out just yet but Craig Staidler was out playing and signing autographs.

Someone has to pay the bills around here.

Originally, I had planned on working the event. I even sent in my application to help out, but things just got crazy with the job situation and move, and that messed everything up.

I definitely wanted to go every day, but maybe next time....

Come hell or high water, I'll be at the PGA Championship next year. That's just not an option to miss...

    • Day 314 - Putting some things together. Better grip/setup, fuller backswing, better finishing position. Filmed some swings, happy with the progress. 
    • Day 130: did a stack session. 
    • Day 206 (24 Nov 24)  - An easy session with the 54deg wedge and hard foam balls / one simple goal - distance control thru backswing length while not decelerating.  Had a playing partner comment they noticed me decelerating on a couple short wedge shots in last round.  Hit from distances from close to 40yds down to 20. 
    • Musgrove Mill hole #15 was converted to a par 3 after Hurricane Helene. Today, I had 145 from the tee which is a perfect 9-iron for me. I aimed just right of the hole and pulled it a few feet. Clanked off the stick down into the hole and ricocheted out of the hole 13’ away. Drained the putt for a birdie after repairing the hole which was damaged . Not sure if it would have counted as a HIO, but I was pretty excited!
    • Day 55 - 2024-11-24 Did five levels of Operation 36 on GSPro (different courses). 🙂 Was -4 from 200 yards (32) intentionally laying up on each hole (i.e. not hitting a 5I or something). Shot… 22, 24, 26 from 25, 50, and 100 yards. I forget my 150-yard score, but obviously it was < 36. Putting was odd… (and I did it with the wedge or a 7I or whatever was in my hand).
