I've been checking out the Florida State Golf Association slate of events this coming year, and the offer these 'One-Day Events' that look intriguing -

http://www.fsga.org/thegame/default.asp

Reasonably priced & at some real nice courses - Bay Hill, Shingle Creek, Grand Cypress (in Orlando area).

Has anyone here played in these events? I'm thinking it would be a great way for me to get back into playing competitively without either busting the bank or getting smoked by young flat-bellies. It would definitely improve my game, as it would force me to practice more so I don't embarrass myself.

Anyone have experience playing these? Anything to share?

I haven't played in them, but I plan to play about once a month starting in March.  As you said, some of the courses are top-notch, and some of the 2-day events (Hammock Beach, Innisbrook) look appealing.

Looking at last year's results, I see that not too many folks play the gross side, but maybe this year will be different.  It will be fun to play a few really nice courses for such reasonable rates.

When you say goofy-ass policy are you referring to the Mouse?

Go ahead and say it...Loblolly. I could get used to it rolling of my tongue.

lol! No, I don't work at the Land of the Rat. But many of my fellow employees do consider it a "Mickey Mouse" organization!

I used to live in Hobe Sound, so - Loblolly...Loblolly...Loblolly.....

I registered for the two day World Woods event at the end of November.  Can't wait!!!!  I played there for 3 days back in early May and it was BLAZING hot, it really took away from what should have been a perfect trip with the guys.  In late November though, should be AMAZING!!!

Not to mention fun to play in a pseudo competetive format.

      That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭

      The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
