Played at Ridgewood CC in North Jersey this week. Great old Tillinghast layout where they will play the Barclays this year. What a treat! They have 27 holes and the Barclays will borrow from all three nines, so we didn't play the route the pros will play, but that didn't matter. You can't go wrong on any of the three nines.

Ridgewood West #5. Great hole and an unbelievable green complex. Awesome pin placements.

Ridgewood West #7. Ridgewood has the best bunkers I've seen or played. Very Winged Footish.

Ridgewood East #1, the first hole they will play at the Barclays.

Ridgewood East #3. Par 5, with a green complex that a picture just cannot do justice. The pros will go for this in 2 at their peril.

Ridgewood East #9 and Clubhouse. Beautiful finish to our day. Amazingly, this wonderful green complex is used as a warm-up chipping area for the pros during the Barclays.

That course looks amazing.  BTW, the bold is part (a small part, but still part) of the reason why I've still yet to get out to La Costa and play.  Part of the draw always was that I could play the course the pros play, but once I learned I'd have to play it twice to do that ($$$$), it lost a little bit of the appeal.

Still want to get out there eventually though!!!

The course was a bit flooded this morning. Only about 11 holes were playable.

    • 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.
