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 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
