We should list the things for which we're thankful, no?

I'll start.

I'm thankful to "know" all of you guys. Disagree or agree, the discussions are always good and we're all passionate about the game of golf.

I'm thankful that I know of a sport like golf which can provide so much off the course, and which I can play for the rest of my life. And this year, I'm thankful that my wife has gotten to the point where she enjoys and wants to play too.

I'm thankful for my family and friends, for the roof over my head, and that I live in one of the best countries in the world as well as the opportunities that provides.

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

Happy Thanksgiving to all American Sandtrappers. Here in Canada, we have our Thanksgiving in October, so no day off for us. I spend my day at work watching the score of the football games, though the day time games tomorrow seem to be clunkers.

As for what I am thankful for:
My family, my improving health (have lost 52 pounds since August 2008) and having a job that allows me to do the things I enjoy, mainly golf and hockey.

Have a great time tomorrow with your holiday and enjoy.

Great idea Erik. I am thankful for a loving wife and for two beutiful, healthy daughters. I am also thankful for some great friends who I get to share not only my passion for golf with but my journey through life.

I'm thankful for:

- my wife returning safely from 2 weeks away (sick relative), and that my daughter survived 2 weeks with daddy in charge.

- re-discovering the gentleman's game on several levels (thank you wii, ebay, the interweb), making superficial connections to golfers with varied backgrounds, golf skill levels, and beverage and sandwich preferences.

- being introduced to people's home home tracks and realizing how many options there are (e.g. iacas' two linked courses look really interesting - and difficult) in the spring and fall

- my health, continued employment (fingers crossed as always), a wife I don't deserve and hockey season

    • Day 2 March 13th, 2025 Hit a small bucket checking stuff on video. Mostly back to controlling swing length and right elbow. 
    • Video 1 of 2025 Lower body is better. Right knee kicks out less. Left knee straightens better. I don’t have that knee bounce post impact. Backswing and downswing with the arms, needs a bit of work. Nice OTT move there. Video 2 of 2025 - hey I can keep it short.  back to trying to keep the swing shorter and control the right elbow. Lots of half backswing feel and very straight arms. Also trying to start the downswing sooner so the swing doesn’t go on forever with the turn. Got to limit it to 90 degrees shoulder and 45 degrees hips. 
    • Day 236: did a stack session.
    • Day 164 - 2025-03-13 Got the new QuadMAX. Didn't get a chance to test it, but got to Golf Evolution about 45 minutes before lessons, so I did some backswing and downswing work in.
    • @klineka has already addressed this stuff, but as I said in my first answer… distance control is typically more important. Knowing exactly how far a ball will carry is huge.
