The first cold day is a bit of a shock. Just walked 4 miles in my golf duds. Found out the summer weight Nike pants don't offer much warmth. Will definitely be busting out the cold weather golf gloves today.

Unfortunately, this is probably one of Northeast Ohio's last days in the 70s and I won't be able to golf. The weekend is calling for low 50's and rain... here we go....

I just got my new wedges delivered to my doorstep yesterday though, so be on the lookout for a player wearing shorts on Saturday or Sunday in British Open conditions! Nothing is going to stop me from breaking them in! Well, that is... as long as my wife says it's okay...

I sweat like a pig, so I always wear the least amount possible, which usually includes shorts. Dress codes are very casual around here, especially at my local muni course. The pro there was giving me a hard time the other day for wearing "hiking boots" on the course. He told me the only code the course had was to either wear golf shoes or tennis shoes. I happened to be wearing low cut, brown walking shoes, which had soft rubber soles and were "tennis shoes" in every other respect. I showed him the soles but since he called me on it he wouldn't back down.

I asked him if I could play buck naked so long as I had the right shoes on, and he said it was fine with him. I would never wear shoes that would tear up the greens, but this clown must have had a hair up his butt that day.

Yikes we had light snow this AM. But after one day in the cold I am acclimated. Today is a shorts day. Planning on 9 holes later, want to try out a few swing adjustments.

    • Day 24: did a stack session. Worked a bit on downswing feels during breaks. 
    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
