Figure being locals we may be a little more formal and get to know each other a little...... I'll start.

My name is Tim and live in Racine, married have 3 kids from 12-17 (1 my own, 2 step).  I have been golfing on and off for years. Typically I shoot between 45-55 for 9 holes, not the greatest but I love playing the game! I am always looking to get out and play new courses. I save half my vacation for the year to use for golfing days in the summer. I consider my "home" course Brighton Dale in Kenosha County since I play league there with work. Feel free to contact me anytime to golf!

Hello all,

My name is Kevin and live in Neenah. I'm 26 as of yesterday, married two years in August with one boy who's 4 months. It's about time to get him fitted for clubs! We just closed on a house June 28 and I'm already thinking about building a putting green in the back yard. I doubt I will ever follow through with it though! My home course I would say is Westridge Golf Course in Neenah.

Nice to meet you Tim! Have you golfed Petrifying Springs in Kenosha? I played there earlier this summer when I was in a wedding in Racine. Shot a 92. Not a lot of water, but the rough is rough and the course was not very forgiving! On the way back from the wedding I got a speeding ticket in Racine County on hwy 41, well I think it's hwy 94 down there. Firsrt time ever I pleaded "Not Guilty" so I may have a mandatory court date down in the are coming up. Haha, the ticket can't get any worse, right?


Looking forward to meeting everyone,

Kevin

Set out with a 5 year goal of getting to scratch(just want to get around a 1 really) 3 years ago.  Well almost three years, I am in year three of that timeline.  I work in Waukesha.

Nice to meet you guys! Kevin... I just played Petts last Wednesday for the first time in years, very fun course. I live about 20 mins north of there. It's good to hear what others think of your local courses cause I think we tend to took our regular courses for granted after a time.

Hey fellas, My name is Will. I'm originally from Milwaukee reside in Kaukauna now. I have a 2 month old baby boy and will be getting married in September of 2015. I'm fairly new to the game of golf. This is my second year of actually trying to get better. I played well over 100 rds of golf last year and itching to get back on the course again. I don't know many people in my area so i tend to golf alone most of the time. I'm excited about talking the game of golf with fellow wisconsinites and maybe picking up a much needed few golfing buddies along the way. Thanx.. I'm also new to TST also

      Day 340 - Pitching needs some work, so I spent most of my time on that today.

      Good Practice (Is Often Boring Practice)

      By iacas ·

      Golfers/students watching me doing my technique practice at my indoor academy will often notice: I hit about one ball every 45-60 seconds. I rarely hit more than three balls without taking a small break (enough to walk out and collect them), glance at a text, and get back to it. I often practice with a 6I only (though I'll occasionally hit an 8, or a 4). I hit my 6I between 100 and 150 yards. Sometimes out to 160. I don't really care about contact. I've had practice sessions where half of my shots are shanks. It's fine. I monitor one or two launch monitor data points at a time. Right now, it's just path, even though I'm not really working on path (I just don't want it to get too out of whack). I never have a "breakthrough." * I work on the same thing for weeks or, more frequently, months. I have several things (besides the LM) that provide feedback. A PVC pipe at my feet. Mirrors. A HackMotion. Whatever. I am constantly monitoring the little things. Is my right foot square or turned out 5°? How's my grip? Distance from the ball? Etc. I record myself on video. To elaborate on each: Learning happens in the breaks between. When you can absorb. Process. Because why not? It keeps things simpler, and if I'm not bored by doing it, because of #6 and #7… so what? Plus, it's all stickered up for the QuadMAX. I know how far I hit my 6I (about 183). I don't need to constantly prove it, and practicing at full speed is not conducive to making changes. I'm not working on contact. If you interrupt me in the middle of a practice session and say "hit one good," I'll do that. I tend to hit it out of the toe side, so when I'm exaggerating something, I often move it a bit too far into the heel. I'm not making "golf swings" per se, I'm making a series of movements for the purpose of "playing around with" the piece I'm working on. More on this below. * More on this below. * If you're not practicing with feedback, you're just exercising. And probably not really doing that well, either. 😄  Great players do the ordinary things extraordinarily well. And consistently. I'm not great (PGA Tour), but I can do the ordinary things well. Feel ain't real. And sometimes, a mirror isn't quite enough, since you have to be looking at it while you "feel" and see what it produces. * I have this sign (and a few others) in my academy: I don't have breakthroughs. Improving at golf is, at this point, about putting in the work. About taking care of the details and doing what I need to do. I have a loosely defined plan (I may spend more or slightly less time than planned — I don't want to hard-code timelines in, though I'm also in no rush). Why am I posting this? Because I see posts by others where they "have a breakthrough" or they "think they've got it" or they "struck the ball phenomenally well" that session. Who cares? The point of technique practice is to change the technique. To improve it. It's not to flush it. That'll come… if you're working on the right things in the right way. Go slow. Play around in the "space" of your improvement. Give it time. Be patient and disciplined. Don't worry about results. Trust. Good practice is often boring practice. It's not exciting. It's about putting in the reps. P.S. This is complementary.
