7/14 fairways

14/18 GIR

I’m most posting to show that I’m repping the sand trap and the 2015 Newport cup!

Working on a very specific feel, which is the stretching of the right side on the backswing. It’s helped me get deep with the pivot instead of yanking my arms inside.

im struggling somewhat with the downswing, tho, especially with the driver. Gets a little steep feeling.

So, just curious, why did you sign up for Evolvr and then not submit anything? 🙂

I’ve been trying to find a local coach because I prefer in person instruction to online, but I have so far failed at that. I’m relatively pleased at my progress working on my own, as well.

But, if I were a betting man, I’d be on evolvr being my next step!

Okay. Was just curious.

Played in the member-member with my father this weekend. We came in third in our flight, missing the championship shootout by one measly point. 

I played the best golf of my life. We played 45 holes (27 on Saturday, 18 on Sunday).

 

Scores

75 (+3) [134/72.5]

36 (E) [133/36.3]

76 (+4) [134/72.5]

 

Stats

8/14 Fairways -- 8/18 GIR -- 28 Putts

6/9 Fairways -- 6/9 GIR -- 15 Putts

12/14 Fairways -- 10/18 GIR -- 31 Putts

 

A lot of places for improvement, but I am happy with how I did. I put a lot of pressure on myself to play well, and I responded with the best scores I've ever shot at this particular golf course. Also, had a great time playing with my dad! 

These tournament scores also continue a trend of really good play. I've broken 80 in the last five 18 hole rounds, and shot par on the one nine hole round. Gol is way more fun when you're playing well!

    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
