Anyone else seen the Ghost Sightings contest they are running on facebook? If you upload pictures of you showing off your Ghost series putters you have a chance at winning 3 dozen free Penta balls. Seems like an interesting idea, they are only doing it for 4 weeks I think though, they already chose two and I think they choose another one tomorrow but there's still some time left to win the last one. I can't complain, I managed to win week one...though I wondered if they were actually going to contact me...took them nearly a week, and they wont ship for 7-10 days, but eh, free balls are free balls :P  Only tip I have is to actually put a picture up that has the freaking putter in it. I was looking around at the other ones trying to figure out how the heck mine won, but all people were doing were uploading their profile pic, or pictures of themselves, I rarely saw one that actually had a putter in it. I hedged my bet and just put all adidas stuff on, a TM hat, and my putter....can't hurt to suck up a little right? lol.

It's like...if I managed to win with this one, I think people just must not  be paying attention to the rules because I hated this one, but my friends told me this one and another were their favorites. I absolutely hate seeing myself on camera...especially my golf swing lol.

Ghost Sightings 1st week

I liked this one more...kind of because you see less of me lol, but I just messed with the color a bit and thought it was more fun instead of serious.

So they finally did ship the balls after I emailed them a month after they said they originally sent them. I hate doing that, but when it's a month later and something still hasn't showed up....eh I'll just politely ask them what's up.  So they overnighted them....I got the box. Next monday I ended up getting a 2nd box due to a delay in the warehouse... I emailed them about the extra ones asking if they would like them back, they say keep them...so I ended up getting 6 boxes of Penta's....dear god I'm starting next season with 6 free boxes, another box of penta's I bought the day before I won for $10 cuz of pro-shop money, and a box of One Tour D's I bought before the season ended.... I'll probably lose all 96 by May....but most of them were free :D

      Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing.

      _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
