Well, I was just reading all the previews here at The Sandtrap (mine included ), and I noticed that this week may be a low key week for the PGA, but some of the other tournaments look interesting.

The Senior PGA will be somewhat interesting because Erik is there this week, and the course is phenomenal. If Greg Norman would have made his appearance, it really would have done well. With guys like Jay Haas playing some now, it makes it better in my views.

The LPGA event will mark the 2nd time Big Break III winner Danielle Amiee will be teeing it up with the big girls. That should be interesting, as she usually makes things when she arrives somewhere. She has already said she will feel more comfortable this week. So will she make the cut?? Who knows..

Speaking of Big Break winners, Kip Henley will be playing in the PGA FedEx St. Jude Classic this week. He missed the cut last week in the Nationwide event, but he qualified for this event as well. So that will be something to follow..

Also, on the European Tour, this week's event could quite possibly be the strongest event. I think Ernie Els, Retief Goosen, and some others will be playing. That should be some good golf as well.

So even though the PGA event is kinda down this week, the other tours should make for a solid weekend of golf.

What does everyone else think? Maybe nobody else cares.

I care! I made my picks for the Senior PGA having watched many of the guys hit shots, and Jay Haas was one of 'em.

    • Day 24: did a stack session. Worked a bit on downswing feels during breaks. 
    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • 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.
