Well i went to the Exelon Invitational hosted by Jim Furyk today. Its held at The Ace Club. An amazing course, really gorgeous. The other 3 Jim had at the tourney were Kenny Perry, Paul Casey, and Anthony Kim. Really good 4some. I didnt follow the guys shot for shot. Kind of just went around and posted up on some different holes with good vantage points. On their 15th hole i believe it was a long par 3. AK got an ace. That was pretty cool cause I was standing right behind him on the tee. Then he proceeded to buy the gallery a beer. Which i then enjoyed even more. haha. all in all, a great Invitational hosted by Furyk.

Sounds like a fun event. I didn't now he hosted anything of the sort. Is it just an exhibition match? How does it work?

it was a better ball of 2some. Ended up matching furyk and Kim against Casey and perry. Furyk and Kim won i think 3&2.

just been reading about it and apparently furyk holed a 40 footer for birdie with a five iron as him, kim and casey all used only one club for the last three holes, furyk a five iron, kim a 3-wood and casey a four iron!

yea i heard they do funny things on the 18th. last year they all tee'd off at once. My buddy and i didnt stick around for the 18th as we wanted to beat traffic.

On their 15th hole i believe it was a long par 3. AK got an ace. Then he proceeded to buy the gallery a beer.

One of the coolest things I've heard of.....knew I liked AK for a reason...very cool.

it was an expensive round of beers none the less. Also pretty much made me like AK even more as a golfer. That guy has class. But yet he's really down to earth.

    • I agree with this 100%. I forget what tour player said it but they mentioned how in pro ams they hear amateurs say how they always make a majority of their mid range putts. His reply was no they don’t because if you did you’d be better than everyone on tour. Even pros think they’re better than they are. Back when stats weren’t as well known as today they asked a bunch of pros what the make percentage was on tour for 6 footers. The consensus was around 70%. Crenshaw was the closest with a guess of 50%. Actual percentage was 54%. I always thought it was interesting that one of the best putters was the closest. 
    • Day 145 - 2025-02-22 7-7 today at Golf Evolution. Managed to sneak in some work while waiting for dinner when I got home, though.
    • Day 15: 2/22/25 Putting through50 mm gates weight shift drills. Playing tomorrow, and will see how I do.
    • This is a good point and I’m going to go down this road. I’ll get some data on both techniques, compare the two, and then make a more informed decision. I’m bad about going off of what I “feel” is the best but should definitely approach it with more hard data.  All that being said, this made me laugh and is likely the cause of me wondering if the broomstick would be a better technique. I mean, who doesn’t want to get a new putter?
    • Day 32 (22 Feb 25) - Got in some wedge work with the 58° in the backyard before heading to a noon band rehearsal.  It’s the weakest part of my wedge game, so figured it would be good to work on distance control for a few minutes - varied the distances and lies from 5yds out to about 25yds.  Nice little drill session to kick off the day.
