Hi Gang,
Well, I finally got something from a TV golf aid program that has helped. Watching the golf fix and listening to MB about the lag in the swing. I've always hit my driver about 220 with some extra yards in the roll but have incorporated the lag to create additional swing speed and WOW!!!! what a difference. Played yesterday and have increased to 285-290. At the age of 61 I think that that's not too bad. I'd suggest this for everyone who wants more distance. What a difference.

Duffy,

How exactly did you build the extra lag?

Hi Guys,
I concentrated on keeping my hands in front of the club head until the last mili secocond. It feels somewhat like a whip action at the bottom of the swing which accellerates the club head thru the hitting zone at contact. You have to do it slowly and watch what is happenning at the bottom and then try it at full speed. It takes no more effort but tempo is key to success. Kinda hard to describe in words but you can probably call up past episodes of the Golf Fix and watch MB explain it. I don't think it was more than a couple of weeks ago. Good Luck with this. The best way to describe what it looks like would be to hold your hands at the bottom of the swing at about the center of your stance with the shaft of the club still at almost 90* still on its way down.

Hey $2, I've never had anyone ask me to play a $2 Nassau and have always wondered what the hell it is. A little help here for your ignorant friend.

A Nassau is a common bet, I assume we play it the way most people do. We bet on match play, $2 for the front nine, $2 for the back nine, and $2 for the overall. Sometimes we play first 6 holes, second 6 holes, third six holes instead.

Hi Gang,

I saw that tip as well(I tape them all) and it's a great point to learn and improve on to create distance. If you want to study lag then study Camilo Villegas's swing. Now that guy is ALL LAG,,,and he's long!

      Day 45 (27 Dec 25) - played at one of the sisters courses to my home course.  Solid session through the bag….of the 7 pars, 4 were up and down 1 putts (wedges were dialed in) from 6’ or less.  Off the tee - solid, irons were consistent even it a bit under on distances.  Course management was on - stayed the course even with a few offline recovery shots required…

      Day 453 - 2025-12-27 Two things today for about 48 balls (I like to hit three or six balls at a time before taking a small break to pick them up): Right leg stays flexed a bit, internal rotation on the backswing. Kept my eyes looking at the ball and trusted that the backswing was fine.

      Day 137 12-27 Worked on wider backswing today and tried to remain flowy. Recorded face on and down the line. Swing is looking better but I mentally felt off today, just frustrated. Tomorrow's a new day!

      I guess I'll stay at -16 for this year's challenge.  I never birdied holes 7, 13 (the 2 hardest holes) in 2025.  Also had a couple Eagle putts on the par 5's, but didn't convert either time.  Looking forward to 2026, though!
