OMFG...Dubsdread! My home course (well, it was when I lived in Orlando). Great track. Oh man...to have given anything to have been there when Bubba showed up.

I'm left-handed, and at 1:37 of that vid was a flashback - that's how I learned to play as a kid - I would take my dad's right-handed 5-iron & flip it over so the toe was on the ground.

(BTW, that was the 10th tee where Bubba tried to join that group).

for all of you worrying...the creators of this hovercraft said they won't be on golf courses any time soon :)

Here are the details behind the hovercraft. Basically a publicity stunt by Oakley. Looks like this may be seen again on golf courses not for cart duties but for branding.

I don't get what Oakley gets out of this, but marketing... It's all in the secret sauce, eh?

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Not so fast...

Quote:

Windy Knoll Golf Club in Springfield, Ohio, will become the first course in the United States to have two hovercraft carts available for public use.

“We wanted to be able to offer something no other course could,” said Pete Duffey, the course's managing director. “A way to further put Windy Knoll Golf Club on the map of public destination golf courses. It was an easy decision. When we saw them on YouTube, we said ‘We gotta have those!’”

Each hovercraft is made by Neoteric Golf Hovercraft and will be similar to those used by the U.S. Air Force and at DisneyWorld.

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      By saevel25 · Posted

      That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      By boogielicious · Posted

      The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
