Just got back from four days of golf at Pinehurst. Played in an elimination scramble format tournament against 83 teams representing various clubs owned by ClubCorp. Our team shot 11-under on course 5, day 1. That got us a Tie for 3rd. Second day we shot 14-under on course 8 which got us in a tie for first. Third day we shot 8-under on course 2. That unfortunately knocked us into a tie for 5th. Just two shots from the lead. Anyway, here is a link to the pics:

Ben,

Congratulations on your results. I reviewed you photos but I did not see a caddy. Missing first place by two shots; a caddy helping you around No.2 would have certainly been worth 2 shots. These guys know their stuff.

Thanks for sharing your pictures, that place looks like an awesome place to play. Glad you had fun and enjoyed yourselves!!

    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings. 
    • IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
