So, you're saying, the power is in the sweater! I think I have that exact one, too.

Old Navy FTW!

Here's a few days of stuff. First, swing length plus maintaining the cupping in the left wrist a little (it feels like my right wrist stays pretty flat): Then, the same thing as a

Just wanted to go through my round of 69 at Whispering Woods to highlight a few things. It was from the blue tees (6500 yards) where we'd held the TST outing a few days prior. Let's take a look at eac

I'd lost the feels so I went back to exaggerate. These aren't even exaggerations, but they're good. Not worried at all about the downswing on these, and I'm under-turning, too. I grouped the ball

I haven't had time to practice much at all lately (LSW completion), so given that, this isn't too bad.

When I do have time to practice, I do a lot of stuff similar to the pre-set drill. I push my hips forward with my head staying back (in place), and then I flatten my left wrist (it cups slightly sometimes during transition, which steepens the shaft, then I flatten it throughout the downswing) and I put the clubhead well inside my hands at 6. I pump back up to almost 5, keeping the clubhead well inside, and let my pressure points release on the follow-through.

Then, when I make full-swings, I just try to hit those positions again on the downswing. I played pretty well the other day doing this, but was a bit distracted during this round with the kiddo and all.

Anyway… pro thin for the win! :-D

Awesome. Watching now.

Meh.

I guess I'm proof that sometimes the ugly swings can get it around the course okay… :P

P.S. The front nine at WWGC from the blacks: 36.6 / 143.

Erik, that was great. Thanks for making that. Really awesome to watch you play! Very impressive, but I'm not surprised.

And hopefully Natalie's love for the game continues to grow every day/month/season. It must be tough playing this game as a kid. I can only imagine, but thinking back to when I was kid, I'd probably have gotten so frustrated after the first day I would've quit.

Anyway, like @Hammer 4 , despite your self-deprication, you do make this game look easy. Great stuff.

Hey, the next time you and Mike see each other, you guys should try to fit in a course VLog if there's time. Watching the two of you playing together would be a real trip for all of us, I think. Just a suggestion.

Great job! Thumbs'd up your video on Youtube too. :-)

That was a good watch. Those first 5 holes looked so effortless.

Very nice, thanks for sharing. I like the commentary, too. I think it's pretty cool to get the mindset of the player as they prepare to take the shot. Gives you a unique perspective on plan vs execution.

Some day maybe, but I'd like to figure out why it goes blurry when I zoom.

P.S. Edit: Turns out it's not an optical zoom when recording video. Peh. Lame.

If you figure it out, and remember this post, can you share that with me? I've always wondered the same about my Casio.

IIRC, the 17th hole is a pretty cool hole. Big sand trap near the landing area and a stream along the green. Plus everyone knows the 16th from that "How Would You Play It?" thread.

It's in the P.S. It's only a digital zoom, not optical, when recording video.

The back nine is full of interesting holes, as many of you will find out in the Erie/Pittsburgh/Cleveland/Buffalo get-together this August…

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.

      Yes, but you don't live in the UK, so you have no idea what we think about it here. It's a very different mindset here, to demonstrate the fact you should consider 9 out of 10 games we play here are Stableford, whereas you you almost solely play medal. Neither is right or wrong, it's just different  I'm trying to avoid swearing here. Once again, and for the 1000th time, I understand the system, I just don't agree with it. Is there anything wrong with that? PS, I do not have the time or patience to post my results, especially as they prove nothing  That's because 99% of the posters are Yanks
