That website is pretty weak, as I cannot figure out how to actually look at anybody's picks ... no matter who I click on it just stays on the standings page.  EDIT:  Nevermind, I'm a dufus ... you just have to scroll down the page!

But I'm guessing that nobody picked Wichita State to advance to the championship game, and probably not Michigan either?  (I have Louisville beating Syracuse in both of my pools which is why I think I have a fighting chance at winning them both) :)

We shall see!!

The only final four team I had was Michigan, and Michigan State, my championship pick, is out. Meh.

In my bag:

Driver: Titleist TSi3 | 15º 3-Wood: Ping G410 | 17º 2-Hybrid: Ping G410 | 19º 3-Iron: TaylorMade GAPR Lo |4-PW Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo | 54º SW, 60º LW: Titleist Vokey SM8 | Putter: Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas H7

If my quick monkey math is correct, David in FL, J Kvetch, Jamo and myself are the 4 left with a chance at winning it all.  If Louisville wins Saturday, David and Jamo are out.  I will win with either a Syracuse win Saturday or another Louisville win Monday.  If Louisville loses and Syracuse wins, then I think I'll win that scenario also.

The most exciting, however, is if Louisville loses Saturday and Michigan wins Saturday.  That would leave Jamo and David tied at 81 and it will all depend on the tiebreaker score of Mondays game.

Of course, if that happens, I've got all my money on David, seeing as how they both tried to play the Price Is Right "I'm the last bidder so I'm going with $1" game and bet the under - with David 6 points higher.  Pretty sure that Michigan and Wichita State will manage something more than 53 points each. :)

    • Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down. 
    • Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner. 
    • Day 78 - 2026-03-10 Backswing work at the net with foam balls, a few real ball swings.
    • Day 525 - 2026-03-10 Got some work in before lessons today (was going to play after but it decided to POUR). Then like three minutes in later on.
    • Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
