Welcome! We hope you enjoy it here. If you need anything, let us know.

How is SE Texas? I lived in Vidor for a year or so back in 1996. I still have a lot of family from that area, although I don't usually care to claim them.

I actually started picking up the game when I lived down there. Are there any good golf courses around Beaumont?

Beaumont CC is really the only nice golf course and it is great!!! The course was closed for about 8 months in 2004-2005 for reconstruction. The entire course was redesigned and boy is it incredible!!!! Other than BCC the only other decent golf course is The Palms at Pleasure island in Port Arthur. This course has been around for a long time and reopened about 3 years ago. I used to live in Grove, Oklahoma and played at Shangri La a bunch when I was younger!!! Great golf in Oklahoma!!!!!

Welcome fellow Texan!! I have played a few courses in the Houston area, never as far as Beaumont. Come on out west for some Hill Country golf.

here is the web site. I fly over this area all the time. There is a low level route that goes right over the new course. I saw it the other day and it looks like its going to be beautiful. Homesites are very pricey though. River Crossing is a better deal IMHO.

    • Day 24 9-7 Worked on lower body movement with full swing. Focused on hips. Need to work on setup a bit. Was hoping to get to the short game area today, stayed home and recorded some swings instead. I've come to the conclusion I learn the most with my practice setup at home, just a net and a hitting strip. Overall happy with the progress this week. 
    • Day 2 (September 7), still with the grip and the medicine ball (using weights).   Still on vacation and really aching to be able to do a full practice the way I'd be able to at home.  Also bought a 1/2" section of pipe today at the hardware store and have been regularly practicing the grip with that too while watching Sunday football with the family.  
    • Day 1: Worked on feels for wedge swings. Primarily getting everything to move from the top of the backswing in the correct sequence. 
    • Day 6 (7 Sep 25) - Afternoon pitch session with the 54 and 58 in the backyard. Keys: Alignment - Setup - Smooth swing thru - working on each to be as “automatic” as possible - not mindless, but deliberately repeatable. I have found the precision required to properly execute carries well into the full swings.  
    • 180% is the threshold. But yeah, many of them are close to 200%. Not 120 and 123%. People generate speed differently. I think your speed will come more easily when this stuff gets sorted out. Stay disciplined. Stay on the road. You can't get off exit 74 before you hit exit 32.
