So it this sucker gonna be on Golf Channel or ESPN?

That would be COOL! For now, I think it's just:

Twitter: https://twitter.com/the_sand_trap/

Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesandtrapgolf

For those who are not good at the internets (and if there's interest), I may post scoreboard updates from what I've gathered through social media above. No promises, but I would post here on this thread, if I am able to.

Below is the "scoreboard" we have tentatively worked out for now.

I don't want to interfere in their event in any way, so if they shut the idea of periodic scoreboard updates down, I'd get that they had reasons to.

I'll be VERY leery of posting bogus info, so if it gets confusing with the status and I lose track of the tweets, I'll let everyone know and not post any scores. I really don't want to inadvertently impact their on-course strategy if they somehow get bogus scoreboard update from me!!!!

I'm also not looking to steal anyone's thunder, so if the Newport Cup teams prefer to have one daily summary with a scoreboard, I'd respect that too.

The thought was that posting here periodically might garner more excitement. Might also be fun to review at the end to see snapshots of where the competition stood.

Periscope? It's not just iOS now, you can view on a desktop browser (not sure about mobile.) Or post vids to Instagram/Twitter. Or I guess could just look on Game Golf.

If any of ya'll have a water shot, it is required that you video and post it. :-D

Realtime updates would be awesome!

Not to nitpick, but if we were to assume the top of the page was north, wouldn't it make sense to put West and east on there proper compass positions?

The West is hosting. It's customary to list the home team second.

Every one of our sponsors has been incredibly generous, especially Pure and Ping for inviting us to spend time with them. It's been an exciting day, and we haven't even hit a shot in competition yet.

We started the day with a visit to the Pure Company. I had taken photos, but they are somewhere lost on my SD card. Hopefully, I will find them. Anyway the visit was a pleasure. We spoke with the design engineer and learned the process to develop grips. We then toured the facility, and watched the process of Pure grips being made. Pure was gracious to re-grip everyone's clubs while we were there. Many thanks to Erik, Mike and Pure Company for the tour and products. Hopefully photos to follow when found. Club Rat

[URL=http://thesandtrap.com/content/type/61/id/131635/] [/URL] We then traveled to the Ping facility for a VIP tour. It was truly an amazing experience. It's been a long day, but wanted to post photos. Guys will post their experience and details later. Again, Erik and Mike have provided all of us with a truly remarkable day. Enjoy the photos, Many thanks to Ping. Club Rat

    • Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area? 
    • I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
    • Day 552, May 7, 2024 Played nine holes with @NatalieB with irons only from her tees. Didn't really finish out any holes, just hit the irons and approaches and some chips.
    • What has gone downhill? Have you been practicing properly, filming your swing, working on exactly what he suggested without straying? My thoughts are that your results/outcomes from a lesson a year ago probably aren't all that relevant anymore.  And carry distance is far more important than total distance. Total distance is going to vary significantly based on course conditions.
    • One thing that has helped me tremendously is to spray the club face with foot powder when I am on the range. Seeing ball impact can be quite helpful if you are hitting shots all over the place. It's not the cure all, but a good little thing to do on the range. The other thing, and I will forget to do it, is the pre-shot routine. Find me a spot a foot or so from the ball in-line with my target, take my stance, take the swing.  Sometimes you take a BS practice swing with no thought. Make it deliberate.  As far as swing thoughts. I have 3 check-points. First is set-up, Second is my take away, Third is my downswing. I cant explain what I think I just know in my mind. Its a feeling that I have that feels right and experience has shown that if I follow those 3 thoughts more than likely the outcome will be what I was looking for. Now, thinking about the feeling and executing it properly is a whole different thing, that;s why I practice, I used to be over a 20 handicap, I am down to a 15.1 in about a year.  I feel like its good progress. the goal is a 10 by the end of the year. If I make it great, if not, hey at least Im not in Gaza. LOL
