Just dropped my daughter off at the local cemetery.  Every Memorial Day, she, my Eagle Scout Godson, and a small handful of boy and girl scouts spend the morning placing flags on graves of veterans, some of which date back to World War I.  Although it's an early, somber start to the holiday, I'm proud to say that it's something she looks forward to every year.  It's also the subject of my avatar.

I hope everyone has a great day.  Lots of golf, family time, companionship, and fun, but I'd ask that we not forget those that gave their lives to help protect our freedom along the way.

David, this is great.  Love that your daughter does this and that she looks forward to it.  My son just "learned" (he's 4) about Memorial Day for the first time this year.

Me:  "Casey, what day is today?"

Him: "Memorial Day"

Me:  "What does that mean?"

Him "Soldiers died, and we put flags."

OK, so he's a little young for anything past that, but it's a start.

Everybody have a great (hopefully golf filled) day!  (I'm "stuck" with the family today so no golf ... but I think I'll get some practice in by dragging them all to mini golf :))

I'll say a prayer today for the Fathers, Uncles, Friends who forged through WWII and Korea and an additional prayer for those of my generation who fought in Viet Nam.

Two in particular (WWII and Viet Nam) told me stories that to this day bring a tear to my eyes for their gallantry and bravery. I was always humbled in their presence.

Our freedoms have come at quite a cost.

My thoughts and prayers are with the families that are in or have been in the military.    My only regret is that we don't do more for the veterans.

A big thank you to all of those that have served or are serving in the military.

From the land of perpetual cloudiness.   I'm Denny

      Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.

      PING G425 9 Iron Rattle/Noise

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.

      Maintaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.

      Golf Workouts

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
