OK boys and girls, I received my "Save the Date" card today for the golf tournament that I know of that is played at Oakmont, yes THE Oakmont, each spring.

The date of the tournament is April 9, 2007, approximately 2 months prior to the United States Open!

Last year, the cost was approximately $3200 per foursome, $2800 of which was tax deductible.

So who wants to play? Bonus points to anyone who can find a company\sponsor willing to fork out the entry fee for us. Remember, for consultants or sole proprietor's, etc - a $2800 tax deduction is a good thing!

In My Bag:

3-Wood: Mizuno MP-001, 13°, Harrison Striper Titanium
Hybrid 1: TaylorMade Rescue Mid TP, 16°
Hybrid 2: TaylorMade Rescue Mid TP, 19°Irons: Ping S59 Tour 4-PWWedges: Mizuno Black Nickel 51.06 / Cleveland Black Pearl 58.08Putter:...

Fahoo, what is the format for the Tournament? I don't have a corporate sponsor, but I might be able to do it and get one of my buddies to come along. I'm guessing it's a scramble, best-ball?

Yeah, it's a best-ball format. So that's the only downside really that I see. I've had a number of people tell me its not worth it since its best-ball and you don't actually get to play your own ball the whole time. But really, who cares that much that they'd pass up an opportunity to play Oakmont?

Send me a pm if you want to talk some more about it.

You play your own ball in a best-ball. If it's a scramble, you don't.

I'd play, but not in a scramble.

Yeah, I"m a moron. It's a scramble format. I know better than that.

      Discipline

      By MentalityJohn · Posted

      Great post and I agree with almost all of it. The discipline piece is real — most golfers want the result without the reps. One thing I'd add: there's a version of discipline that happens away from the range too. The 20 handicapper who texts the next day with a full-speed video — that's not just a practice discipline problem. That's an identity problem. He still sees himself as a 20 handicap who's trying something new. He hasn't made the internal shift to being the golfer who practices with intention. I work on the mental side of the game and what I've found is that the golfers who actually stick with the slow, boring, disciplined practice are the ones who've done some internal work on who they believe they are as a golfer. The ones who quit after two range sessions never changed the story they tell themselves. They're still running the old software. Discipline isn't just "will you do the reps." It's "do you believe you're the type of golfer who does the reps." That belief piece is what separates the ones who text you the next day with a full-speed swing from the ones who actually put in the work.
