First off I'm glad we had 10 people watching it so it only came out to 6 bucks a person.

I was so pumped for this card and it was kind of a huge let down to me.

I thought Jones would beat Bader but I thought it would be the best fight of them all. I was kind of shocked Bader danced around so much normally he likes to get in close and mix it up. I was shocked about how bad Baders take down attempts looked I mean I know Jones is good but I still thought he would end up on his back a few times. Since Jones is getting a title shot now it definitely was a good win but shogun will be a very tall order for Jones to beat.

Franklin and Griffin was exactly what I thought it would be and I thought Griffins size would be the difference. I don't think either of these guys will get back to the top again but it was still an entertaining fight from 2 tough fighters.

Belfort and Silva.... wow I saw that kick coming and Belfort didn't even come close to getting a hand up. Again I thought silva would win the fight but I expected Belfort to make it entertaining for a couple rounds. You just don't see many guys get knocked out by a straight kick to the face.

I just hope GSP can beat Shields so we get the GSP vs Silva fight end of this year or early next year. I don't want to start an argument over who would win the fight because it would go on for days. I just know that I want to see it!!!!

Bader did look terrible, which was a huge let down. I like Bader.

And that Anderson Silva fight looked like it was going to be the same ol boring Silva dancing around looking stupid, and acting like hes mad that the other guy is coming to get him, when hes the one running away..... And then a kick to the face, and the fight was over.

    • Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down. 
    • Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner. 
    • Day 78 - 2026-03-10 Backswing work at the net with foam balls, a few real ball swings.
    • Day 525 - 2026-03-10 Got some work in before lessons today (was going to play after but it decided to POUR). Then like three minutes in later on.
    • Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
