All the help this site gave me. My goal for the year was to have more rounds in the 80's than in the 100's and I achieved that 80's-7 100's-0. Thanks

Greatfull for the young people who are risking their lives to keep us free and safe, in the Military, Fire Fighters and Police. I am greatfull for my religion, my family and the country as I knew it. I am greatfull that my Military Disability is under control with pain medicine, so I am allowed to play Golf, I use the word play, in loose terms... I am greatfull that I am allowed to express my thoughts without repercussions, live on a golf course and do whatever I am capable to do.. Yes, I am greatfull, for all of the above and more..... Happy Holidays

Taking lessons with Mike (MVMAC and Dana), and to Erik for strongly making the suggestion to do so.

Prior to this I was a hopeless case as far as my kids' regular instructor was concerned. 8 months of no progress, then bam 5SK came along and gave me a real golf swing in less than 2 months. As Erik advertised.

Can't wait to start my son with Mike and Dana!

I am thankful that I have the health to continuously play a sport I love.

I am very thankful for the time I've got to spend this year golfing with my 5 year old and seeing him laugh and smile!

Golf related I'm thankful that this season I was able to play almost every weekend since April and that I was able to shoot under 100 twice.

A bit of a tangent but I'm curious as to what kind of time you put into those two months of development and in which manner you did so.

1 to 3 hours per day. Most of the time was building the correct posture, then trying different swing paths. The focus was on keys 1-3, recently key 4 with a hint of 5. Totally confident on the course, now. Even though I still hit bad shots. Picked up on my short game with 65/25/10 practice times. See the thread.

I am thankful to have a little golf mecca just down the street from me (81 holes of golf) and the fact that it's in CA doesn't hurt either (year round baby). :banana:

Grateful to my two sons who got me into a game that can so thoroughly consume my thoughts. Grateful to my wife who not only tolerates my obsession with golf, but encourages me to play.

      Golf Tips for Hitting Longer Driver (Tips for Both Men and Women)

      By Wilkerson Allen ·

      Hi everyone, I'm looking to improve my driving distance. I’ve been playing golf for a few years now, and while my accuracy has gotten better, I’m still struggling to get the distance I want off the tee. I play regularly with both men and women, so any advice that applies to both would be fantastic. For some context, I’ve tried adjusting my stance and swing, but I feel like I might be missing some key golf techniques or drills. Has anyone here successfully increased their driving distance? What specific tips or changes worked for you? Whether it's about grip, posture, swing mechanics, or even mental approach, I’m open to all suggestions! Looking forward to hearing your experiences and advice! Thanks!

      My Swing (klineka)

      By iacas ·

      I don't know… The TaylorMade Tiger Woods grinds were decent. I like narrow soles with a lot of bounce (lots of camber) and good heel/toe relief.

      Day 33 (3 Jun 24) - In between working on my bass guitar and its wiring issues, I was able to take the putter and roll some putts on the carpet in the shop.  Spent time with the lead arm as I usually putt with it tucked close  and then doing the lead arm chicken wing.  Interesting how the feel and pace is different.  Had seen a fellow golfer using it last week when we were playing.  Overall it was good to do an easy day of putting for pace and overall distance control from 10' in.
