Opening tee shots.

I appreciate you cutting away before you could totally tell my ball was a snap hook. :-) Frankly, from that angle it's a wonder it actually got around that tree! (Drained the par putt from off the green though. :-D)

I think @mvmac could be coaxed into posting the unedited video of your shot ... it was classic.

Seriously awesome, guys!

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I've been thinking this lately myself. I enjoyed myself in the moment, but I didn't realize how much fun I had in totality until I got back home.

Not long ago I read through a lot of the real-time posting done during the matches, and the summaries many of us posted, and got goose-bumps just remembering it all.

+1... haven't had too many chance to post or read lately in the last month or so but last night hit upon a short bout of insomnia.. got up and read through the entire thread.

Looking back, the greater part of me was truly grateful for the experience but a small part of me was a bit miffed at the fact that elevated experiences like these are so few and far in between for common folk like us. Months of anticipation and mental rehearsals and when finally it arrives it hits you like a ton of bricks and before you catch of breath it's gone like a flash. Then begins another long and arduous wait for another flash..

My boss is out of town this week and next, so my work schedule dictates how much I post lol. It was truly a gift to be part of this and I know there will be quite the line waiting to play in the next Newport Cup.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
