Red team wins 1,000 points to zero. @mvmac is MVP because of his pod system and inspiring pre-round speeches.

big stroke is dead on with Big RED, West Coast winning, but don't believe a word he says on MVP .......

But he needs a new driver and definitely could use a new Ping G30.

Then maybe he'll hit it in the same zip code when we play.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 126: another busy day, so just did some mirror work. Checking set up and backswing and working on a few downswing feels.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By DaHolla ·

      Day 310 - Working on my follow-through. Higher chest, belt towards the target. Small swings at first, building to a fuller swing (still not thrilled with my short backswing).

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 201 (19 Nov 24) - Walked the back nine at Minnesott today, played the “white” tees with the persimmon woods and bladed irons.  It’s a challenge I really like as the clubs are shorter in overall distances.  It really forces me focus on the value of the approach game.     Somehow yesterday’s post did not load / so it’s above.  Today (Day 202) I did some backyard short yardage work - 7i dink  and rolls, 9i chips and 50deg pitches - working to get it in before the rain started around noon.

      Day 51 - 2024-11-20 Played nine holes of Sanctuary Moon with a 6I while pausing in the backswing and otherwise just practicing. If you're into Star Wars, or don't actively hate it… this is worth checking out.
