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.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
