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!

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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Day 8: 12/17/2024 Okay I took my new PPJ swing thought to the range today. I wasn't sure I was quite ready to do so, but I'm glad I did.  When I got it right it was good... really good. When I got it wrong it was a major fail. I hit lots of really ugly ones. But I didn't let that deter me. I stayed committed and focused on the PPJ and I avoided any temptation to go back to what I was doing before just so that I could "look" better at the range. I'm pretty excited about what I saw when I got it right.  I hit the 6 iron mostly (nearly all block work today). I also hit about 6 balls each with the PW, 8I, 5W and Driver. Those had varying degrees of success. I did crack one drive that let me feel and see what the changes will look like once I get fully trained.  Anyway, I'm going to go back to the mirror work for a couple of more days before bringing it back to the range. I do feel like if I can get this right my swing will improve a lot. So I think its worth the effort. I liked the way it looked on GEARs when I get it right, and I like the results I got at the range when I got it right. Now the goal is to work towards getting it right more often.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      I'm sure you are correct.

      So I think it's that they can't just bend the shaft or hosel to get it to a new lie angle. They adjust that and it changes the weighting, so they have to then adjust all the weights to get it balanced again. I get the impression that it's a bit of an iterative process and they do it all in the US, so they're paying US labor costs to build it and make it work how it's supposed to. Whether you believe in the tech or not, I think that's a true statement.

      Ah, the old EE in the backswing move. Chest going back and staying down doesn't help.

      Low Duck Hook Driver!

      Extremely outward path with a very closed club face. Maybe unless you have a stupidly weak grip, like right hand way over top, I don't think the grip is necessary highly correlated to this.
