Before I state the obvious, I'd first like to thank Alan Olson for his service as our Community Director for the past several months. Alan filled in a great hole and provided some great services to the members of this forum. He's just transitioned to a new "real life" job, and will still be an active member of the site and the forum, but I'd like to wish Alan well at this time with his new job and his new-found free time. ;-)

I'd also like to welcome Mike McLoughlin on board as our new Community Director. Mike will expand upon the role Alan filled and will be the primary point of contact for contests, promoting interesting (and often under-utilized) features of the forum, promoting the posts and threads and member-created content, and thus promoting the members themselves. Mike has some great ideas on how to continue to grow The Sand Trap and to make it even greater.

No doubt many of you have seen Mike on other forums as "mvmac," and perhaps even his YouTube channel . You know and understand that Mike has a brilliant passion for golf, the golf swing, and for communicating with like-minded folks!

Please join me in welcoming Mike to his new role and position. Welcome aboard, matey!

Thanks very much Erik!  I'm very excited to take on this role and look forward to making The Sand Trap even better.

Little bit about me.  I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and played golf for USF.  I've always tried to keep improving as a player and that is what led me to "meeting" Erik online and finding Golf Evolution.  I've literally gone from one of the first evolvr students to now doing online analyses.

My Dad also owned and ran a golf store near the SF airport, so I grew up a big golf equipment geek.  Always been partial to Ping though :)

If anyone has any ideas or feedback they'd like to share, feel free to message me.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 27 (17 July 26) - Normally an 18 hole day, but due to commitments abbreviated the round to 9 holes (played the back nine at home course).  Had a solid session where even the worst miss (tee shot off 18) was fully playable.  Shot a solid 39 (6pars, 3bogies) - not dbls, no three putts - just boring golf.

      "Force Precedes Motion" and Flawed Physics in a TPI Video

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Overall, well said. People have to be very careful in trying to describe very complex problem in simple terms. In this case, it is a clear fundamental misunderstanding of Newton's 1st and 3rd laws.  To clarify more on the misinterpretation of Newton's 1st law. The exact interpretation of Newton's 1st Law....  "Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it" yea, a body will stay motionless unless a force acts upon it. An object will stay on its path of motion unless a force acts upon it.  I get it, complex physics problems are difficult. There is a lot of simplification done in most physics class when it is taught. A classic problem uses a frictionless surface. Projectile motion excludes drag and wind direction. Collisions are usually elastic. The golf swing is not a simple physics problem.  Yea, I think they got caught up the data on the graphs and are not truly understanding cause and effect.  If the golfer isn't first pushing into the ground, then the ground isn't going to push back.  The internal forces of the body create the motion, not the external forces from the ground. The ground isn't like what Psy uses to start his concert. 🤣 You probably need to be connected to the ground and have those GRF to help the body produce the motion you want. Your body has to move in the right way to produce the GRF which helps you move the body in the way you want. Body motion precedes the GRF.
