Hello everybody. I'm excited to be joining this great board. After lurking through some of the threads for a while, I think I'll learn a lot.

My name is Scott. I started playing when I was 2, swinging sticks at pine cones in the backyard. I played junior golf in the summers, eventually becoming the #1 player at my high school. I was never going to play in college, but my plan when I enrolled was to get a business degree and eventually become a club pro. I changed my major to English after seeing how much math I would have to take for a business degree. And that is where my game died. Without my dad paying for me to play or working at a course for greens fees, I couldn't afford to get out there but once or twice a year. After college, I focused on my career and my new marriage and still only played sporadically. I went from being a single-digit handicap in my senior year of high school to not being able to break 100.

I've started playing more and practicing harder in the past couple of years now that things have settled down. Being a teacher, I get the summers to work on my game as well (when I'm not hanging out with my 15 month old daughter). I'm back down to a 15 with the goal of single-digit by the time I turn 30 in January. I'm even starting to play competitively in a league that travels around Tampa. I'm learning a lot about myself in this work to get back to what I consider a decent golf game, so I wouldn't trade those 10 years I took off for anything.

    • Day 159: did a stack session.  
    • Day 84 - 2024-12-23 I hit balls for 20 minutes after lessons and after getting down a BodiTrak for resale. Hinge. Path was weirdly consistent today at 1.6° or so ± like 0.8° only.
    • Day 13: 12/23/2024 A lot more mirror work today. Using my same swing thought. Some slow motion, some full motion, some in between. Today I made sure I took every swing all the way to the finish. 
    • Day 234 (23 Dec 24) - Mystery Monday - what to do today….pretty straight up as I spent time with the 58 and a series of pitches (lower flighted all the way up to high fliers over the tulip tree).  Wrapped up the day going lower ball with the 9i and easy bump and runs.  Again as always the setup was key - case in point, got lazy and casually set up, feet straight and promptly hit a couple of nice heely shots hard right.  Knew it immediately, as next couple I went through the routine and flew the balls promptly too the target point.  Setup - setup - setup…
