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!

    • That’s totally fair. I have my chipping issues which make my putter more playable in that situation. Really just confirming that while not optimal there comes a point where if you need to use a putter (for whatever reason) then the optimal mechanics breaks down. I know I’m a sample of one. 😂
    • Day 329 - 2025-08-26 Hit 24 balls before lessons and JEP Summer Session. With the MP-33. 🙂 Put an undersized grip on my VR Pro accidentally.
    • Well, that's not really a putt at that point. You could easily choose to putt that up the slope with a hybrid or something.
    • Day 15 (August 26).  I missed practice yesterday, but otherwise had a 14-day streak going into it.  Somehow, some of my posts for this appear in my profile but I can't seem to see them (I hope I didn't break any rules that would cause them to be removed).  I am hoping I'll be able to keep doing some practice while I'm out to regain the red text.  Context:  am on vacation, this week with friends.  What was today's actual practice? Today, a friend and I decided to go to TopGolf;  it was kind of like being at the range with someone else's clubs.  And that's ultimately how I was able to use it for practice:  I don't practice choosing a target, lining up to it, and then hitting often enough;  that's what this place seems to be about.  In any case, we were there for 90 minutes, I was hitting for maybe 35-40 minutes of that time, and I did pick a target each time.
    • Day 2 - (26 Aug 25) - Church men’s golf nine hole Captains choice.  Had grandson as part of our group - was a blast watching him drill the putts.  Love these no pressure sessions - great for going outside the norm on club selection.
