Hello or should I say buongiorno!

My name is Dustin, I'm an Air Force guy living in Italy.  I started golfing when I was stationed in Korea in 2013 and have been addicted ever since. I'm very privileged to have played golf in 4 different countries now and look to add many more while still in Europe.  Thanks for the time.

if you get the chance, head south(ish) to Parma and play La Roca golf club. its one of the more unique courses I have played down there (i live in Germany).. Also if you want a once in a life time trip... Play the golf course in Venice, I believe you hit over one of the canals and the rest of the holes are along the lagoon. welcome to TST!

Infidel,

I was looking for suggestions for when I return from my current "summer camp" so I will be checking La Rocca out! I had no idea there was a course in Venice, also something I will check out. Thanks for the greetings!

    • 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.
