Wow, I knew it had been awhile since I was practicing and trying to get better regularly, but did not realize it was over 3 years.  Time has been flying.

I'm going to try and start playing a lot more again and practicing regularly as well since the kids don't have a lot of activities these days and I have some free time.

Gotta go find and dust off the tripod too so hopefully I'll have something to post soon.

OK, here we go.  First videos in (apparently, about 3 years).  Took these a couple weeks ago:

These are from a couple of weeks ago and I got some good feedback from Mike on these.  I need to eliminate the excess knee bend and the arms hanging inward at setup, which like everything, is easier said than done.  In the swing, the goal for now is to try and turn the shoulders "back" towards the back leg rather than sort of extend the right side up and forwards (not sure if I explained it right, but I understood it when Mike explained it :))  Anyways, below are from today - my first time out trying these:

Mainly it's just nice to back out and playing more!

I haven't taken any more videos since those last ones, and I haven't been practicing a super ton, however, I have been playing on average about once a week.  I am working on a just a couple of things as I play, basically the same as above as Mike showed me, plus one other thing:

  1. Less knee bend and higher hands at setup
  2. A feeling of going back in the takeaway rather than tilting forward
  3. A longer backswing.  This seems to keep me in sequence better and inhibits my tendency to pull hook the ball, which I am wont to do on occasion. 🙂

Overall, I'm hitting the ball well and scoring well; but I need to temper my excitement on that because I've basically only been playing one course, that is my favorite as far as scoring is concerned.  

Oh, and I bought my first new club in ages last week; a new 60* with more bounce than my current 58* so hopefully I'll have a little more confidence to use it more than the old one.

    • Why should SuperSpeed get 3x of Stack's profits? I get the part about SuperSpeed wanting damages sustained as a result of Stack, but I don't get why SuperSpeed feels that they're entitled to both Stack's profits and damages.   Does anyone know/think SuperSpeed actually has a case here?

Stack System’s marketing materials inflate apparent swing speed and distance gains through selective presentment of data without qualification that purported gains are not the result, in whole or part, of its training protocol and products. * Yes, I'm joking about abbreviating both "SS." SuperSpeed wants: A judgment that the Stack System has disseminated false and/or misleading information in violation of federal and Illinois law. The deletion of all false advertising distributed and recall of all packaging containing false advertising and a requirement that Stack System issue notices (written or otherwise) to that effect to all current distributors and retailers of its products and all distributors with whom Stack System has done business in the past eighteen months. Written confirmation within 30 days of an injunction detailing the manner and form in which Stack System has complied. An order that Stack System disseminate corrective advertising informing consumers, the trade, and the public of Stack System’s unlawful conduct. 3X all profits received by Stack System as a result of its unlawful actions. 3X all damages sustained by SuperSpeed (as a result of Stack System’s actions) The cost of the action All reasonable attorney fees All other relief to which SuperSpeed are entitled and such other or additional relief as just and proper. Oy.
    • I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.
    • Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again.
