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

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

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

      Welcome back! Evolvr.com? I don't use the full extreme end of it, and that's probably dipped to 75% or so nowadays. But I use the sole more than I don't, yeah. Also… it's good to learn this shot: Middle up. Not generally outside your feet in either direction. I generally have it slightly forward of center, yeah. Short version: tip your upper body in the direction of the slope. Look at the GC3. You can find them for really good prices sometimes.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Becca ·

      Day 3:  I tried to hit a bucket at the range but an 80 year old man (he told me his age, showed me his knee replacement scars, told me all about his chronic low back pain, etc) couldn’t pass up the opportunity to mansplain to me every little thing I’m doing wrong.  Dude, it’s my third frickin day.  I know I need to twist my hips more, I know I need to keep my head/chest down and not pop up, I know I need to hit through the ball and follow through further, yada yada yada.  I know.  That’s exactly what I’m trying to work on.  How about you tell me or show me how to do those things instead of telling me to watch Iron Byron videos?  Rough day.

      Day 132: 5/7/24 Full Speed Spectrum Training session 8/24. 7th training program overall.    Another slow session but 4 mph faster than my last session, which was my slowest ever. Going to the doctor on Friday to check on pulled neck muscle.

      Day 26: Did full swing practice after work. First 15 balls were working on top of the backswing feel, and then tried to incorporate transition feel into the next 15 balls. A's, although this will be my last season of being a fan as they leave for Las Vegas (by way of Sacramento for a few seasons). Hard to see myself rooting for the Giants, but if that's the only MLB in the Bay Area, I guess I might get on board.
