My 50th is this month too so its a double bonus birthday and Christmas present. Came in early, Edel is pumping them out in a week for this one where we thought it would take six weeks.

It feels so natural to putt with it.

I love it!

No offense to James, Erik or Dave but, I think I would like a plane ticket to sunny San Diego to meet the other Golf Evolution guy I haven't met in person yet.  I hear the weather is wonderful as long as there's not a wildfire raging.

No offense taken, they know how great I am It'd be my pleasure Greg.  No fires currently, but a little chilly 60*, today.  And so everyone knows, without those 3 guys I wouldn't know jack squat.

All I'm wishing for is a little bit better health for my wife so that she can be a bit more comfortable.  There's no cure for what she has and she fights like hell, having lasted twice as long as the average person with her diagnosis, but eventually it will be over.  I just want to see a few more smiles on her face.  I don't need anything but that.

What I'm getting (and family gifts I'll share).

My wife is getting me a Bauer 9500 helmet - Surprise!! Santa is getting my snowboard some new bindings. Santa is getting my kids (and me) a Stiga rod hockey game. Had a Stiga in the 1980s with team Finland and team Sweden players (had it for about a week when I was in college - returned for a refund after we had a tournament - always regretted not keeping it). I was in Sport Check picking something up and saw the game and had to have it. My daughter loves the little battery operated table hockey game we have (from Radio Shack about 15-18 years ago) but it's too small and too loud. The puck is so small it gets lost easily or caught in the corners. It's also tough to make a 4" touch pass. The teams on the new Stiga game are Habs / Leafs (lame) but a few websites carry other NHL teams and even international teams. Woot!!

As a family we're getting a new TV to replace one which was "damaged" in the fall (9-iron + ball + brain cramp).

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.

That's pretty sweet. Too bad that it comes with the Maple Loafs but you can always make your guests take them.

Last year my neighbours gave me a full sized air hockey table that their kids were no longer using. Have never set it up but the next house will be bigger so lookin' forward to that!

Yours in earnest, Jason.
Call me Ernest, or EJ or Ernie.

    • 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.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • 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. 
    • 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.
