Hello, i'm Bob from southeastern Wisconsin. I'm a carpenter who is currently building scaffolding at a powerplant near my house. I'm relatively new to the game as my name indicates, but learning fast.

I was just right up that way. Stayed in Little Chute. Met some friends there and let the kids play at the waterpark. Was supposed to do the Easter egg hunt at the Green Bay Zoo, but it was too cold and windy. Ended up going to the Fox River mall. Never been there so that was ok too.

Nice. I'm kind of mad that I wasn't able to try out the Coldwater Canyon course when I stayed at Chula Vista last month on a deal ($118/night for 2 people, $100/night in dining vouchers, unlimited golf, and a couple other pluses), but I hadn't really gotten back into golfing... plus I would probably have embarrassed myself.

Did you use the dining vouchers at Kaminski Bros. Chop House????---Just wondering about the food there.

Nope... Checked out their menu and really didn't like the prices, as they'd force me to sacrifice a free meal or two just to use the vouchers for one dinner. Also I've seen some poor reviews of KBC, so we decided to avoid it and stick to pizza or the Market Fresh Buffet (Mmm, crab legs.. $22 per person for supper, but free with the vouchers.. hehe)

That's what I've heard. High prices. Same thing at Fields Steak House at the Wilderness. I do not mind paying for a good meal but prefer not to be gouged. Dells has many good restuarants but I'm pressed hard to recommend a steak place in town. Just out of town there is a spot south on Hwy 16 or Cimmorolis 10 miles out. Fresh Market Buffet is a thumbs up for me also. Or slum it a little bit and go downtown to the original Monk's for a Monk's burger. Much better off that well seasoned grill than the new place out on Hwy 12--Lake Delton.

Cold water is a good course---The first three holes are a bit mondane but it picks up after that.

I never even got to check out Coldwater Canyon, since I wasn't golfing at the time... even if I could've gotten a club rental free with the reservation. Imagine that embarrassment, trying to play there after not playing golf since about 2001. :P

Hey guys, Waukesha golfer here.

Wild Rock is the place to play in the Dells... unbelievably beautiful course. I've eaten at Del Bar in the Dells... steaks were dynamite! 2nd only to Mr. B's in Brookfield. Damned expensive at both places, but very, very good.

Even par through 9 is my best.  I don't even want to think about what was my worst.

    • Day 340 - Pitching needs some work, so I spent most of my time on that today. 
    • Golfers/students watching me doing my technique practice at my indoor academy will often notice: I hit about one ball every 45-60 seconds. I rarely hit more than three balls without taking a small break (enough to walk out and collect them), glance at a text, and get back to it. I often practice with a 6I only (though I'll occasionally hit an 8, or a 4). I hit my 6I between 100 and 150 yards. Sometimes out to 160. I don't really care about contact. I've had practice sessions where half of my shots are shanks. It's fine. I monitor one or two launch monitor data points at a time. Right now, it's just path, even though I'm not really working on path (I just don't want it to get too out of whack). I never have a "breakthrough." * I work on the same thing for weeks or, more frequently, months. I have several things (besides the LM) that provide feedback. A PVC pipe at my feet. Mirrors. A HackMotion. Whatever. I am constantly monitoring the little things. Is my right foot square or turned out 5°? How's my grip? Distance from the ball? Etc. I record myself on video. To elaborate on each: Learning happens in the breaks between. When you can absorb. Process. Because why not? It keeps things simpler, and if I'm not bored by doing it, because of #6 and #7… so what? Plus, it's all stickered up for the QuadMAX. I know how far I hit my 6I (about 183). I don't need to constantly prove it, and practicing at full speed is not conducive to making changes. I'm not working on contact. If you interrupt me in the middle of a practice session and say "hit one good," I'll do that. I tend to hit it out of the toe side, so when I'm exaggerating something, I often move it a bit too far into the heel. I'm not making "golf swings" per se, I'm making a series of movements for the purpose of "playing around with" the piece I'm working on. More on this below. * More on this below. * If you're not practicing with feedback, you're just exercising. And probably not really doing that well, either. 😄  Great players do the ordinary things extraordinarily well. And consistently. I'm not great (PGA Tour), but I can do the ordinary things well. Feel ain't real. And sometimes, a mirror isn't quite enough, since you have to be looking at it while you "feel" and see what it produces. * I have this sign (and a few others) in my academy: I don't have breakthroughs. Improving at golf is, at this point, about putting in the work. About taking care of the details and doing what I need to do. I have a loosely defined plan (I may spend more or slightly less time than planned — I don't want to hard-code timelines in, though I'm also in no rush). Why am I posting this? Because I see posts by others where they "have a breakthrough" or they "think they've got it" or they "struck the ball phenomenally well" that session. Who cares? The point of technique practice is to change the technique. To improve it. It's not to flush it. That'll come… if you're working on the right things in the right way. Go slow. Play around in the "space" of your improvement. Give it time. Be patient and disciplined. Don't worry about results. Trust. Good practice is often boring practice. It's not exciting. It's about putting in the reps. P.S. This is complementary.
