Yep, I get downright giddy when Gilberg comes by to visit.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

I'm a lefty.

Whenever my buddy and I tee it up with another 2 some, the thing that absolutely stands my hairs up is the oldest saying in the world.

"No wonder he can't golf, he's standing on the wrong side of the ball"

I came close to taking a head off with a 460CC after I heard it the 30th time.

Get a life guys, Michaelangelo and DiVinci were left handed. I'm proud to be in that group

P.S. I took Ernest's suggestion and read the old Gilberg posts. I am now a fan.

I did as well.  Really good.  If he is a member of other types of message boards, I would join them as well to see what he posts.  Maybe he has a blog?

When facing a shot thru trees -

Yeah. So's a screen door.

Sorry to go OT, but hey, it's a Gilberg post...

Reminds me of the couple times during my college days I watched someone at a party not realize that the screen door was closed while holding a full solo cup of beer. Not many things on this planet that are funnier. We're talking guffawing days later...yet doesn't quantum mechanics support the notion that there is a small probability that they could have made it through?

Gilberg, see what you have done?

When you're addressing your tee shot and accidentally knock the ball off the tee, there's always a guy who has to say "One" .

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
