I've already had many days with the Cup. Has Barrett been overlooked on the West Team?

@Bechambo doesn't really participate much.

And, oops, you're right. So just remove John from the list, obviously, and Hunter can send it to Dave.

Quite a day (weekend actually) for the Newport Cup! We started with a family hike around the nature trail in Long Beach on Saturday. My son and I took care of the cup while we enjoyed the ducks, geese

Looks great, and on your birthday!  

Now that its on the east coast, it struck me that three of us Blue Teamers will be together on April 9 and 10.  @SavvySwede and @GolfLug are coming to the northern Virginia area for a couple of days of golf.   It would make a nice photo to have us three with the Cup on the first tee, or last green, or all around the course.  So I'm asking, could we plan to have it on one of our hands around the first of April?

You'll have it by then. I'm keeping it for the rest of this week thru Sunday, and I'll mail it on Monday.

I'm thinking maybe you should send it to @jamo.  If he keeps it a week or two, it would get to the next guy in late March.  I'm not trying to take over the organization, I just think it would be fun to have it here when three of us are together.

I think as @DaveP043 suggested, send it to @jamo if he wants it and then he can send it to @SavvySwede, later in the month, who can send it to @DaveP043 or drive it in with him early April for our Northern VA get together.

PART I

First picture I took with the Newport Cup, at about 7 am. It came with me and rode in the cart with my father and I as we played with the dog fight. However, it brought us zero luck, and we were both out eleven bucks. 

IMG_2411.thumb.JPG.069b0b4e6c06dd7d1f694

A cool photo I took as we ate breakfast that morning. This is inside our clubhouse, which is pretty nice, if decorated a little strangely. 

IMG_2417.thumb.JPG.e835178b81822c286dd29

PART II

The Cup had a much more productive warmup session than I did; it actually stayed there the entire tire while I was hitting balls. My shots were low pull-fades, which I don't even really want to think about!

IMG_2421.thumb.JPG.75d1dbdc378b88f78657c

I wanted to take more shots of the Cup on the course, but it had over 170 players that day, and we just didn't have the time to take any. We had to keep pace, unfortunately. 

Here I am, desperately trying to make a putt go into the mouth of the cup. The reason I am a dog whisker away from the damn thing is that I literally could not hit the cup with the ball. I succeeded this time. 

IMG_2427.thumb.JPG.443ac9988f52bb8f3da6e

PART III

Being as this was the last day for the Cup, I allowed it to sleep in my bed, and I took the floor. It was ungrateful.

IMG_2429.thumb.JPG.8b20af8346a4b99057a34

And then, back to where I had it all week: 

IMG_2430.thumb.JPG.2957f9ec0f74015110604

I didn't get to do as much as I wanted, for one reason or another. But I had a lot of fun carrying it around; I got a lot of strange looks and questions. I thought about taking it to work, but since I'm either directing traffic or in a steel shop, I thought it was probably in the best interest of the Cup to let it rest at home, lol. 

@jamo– it'll be on it's way to you tomorrow!

So, I spent my day/few weeks with the cup in a slightly more low key manner. I didn't have anything big planned, and didn't get to play any golf. So, we simply did some bonding. 

The Cup and I did some free weights:

IMG_3564.jpg

And a little cardio:

IMG_3565.jpg

We made a healthy snack:

IMG_3568.jpg

We got in our five minutes (the Cup is a lefty):

IMG_3567.jpg

We played a bit of The Golf Club:

IMG_3570.jpg

And of course, I made sure to tuck the Cup in at night (in East Coast blue even though the picture makes the blanket look black):

IMG_3575.jpg

It sounds like @DaveP043is next up. PM me with the address!

      Day 82: mirror work again tonight. Working on the same shoulder down and roll and twist stuff. Going on vacation tomorrow and putting the clubs down, so new streak starts in about 10 days!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 44, June 17.  Today was some preliminary stretching, exploring what I'll want to set up as a regular routine (both while on vacation without clubs and when I'm back) (aside: this is part of an upcoming goal to stretch daily in a meaningful way, but I don't plan to count it as practice on days that I can meaningfully practice with a club)

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Having a rough week. Went to the Dr. because I was really weak and could hardly swing my driver.  I take Propranolol 20 mg tablets twice a day. Seems like the Propranolol was driving my pulse down (low 50's).  So we cut the dosage in half and I started taking my blood pressure. It was a little high but pulse came up.   Then yesterday I raised it to 15 mg tab by taking it 3 times a day. Blood pressure 127 / 77 Pulse 75.  Heading out tomorrow morning for 18 holes.    I have my driver set at 10.5* but seem to have my swing speed to low and I can't get the lift on the ball I need.  I have not played this week in hopes I will have the strength to raise my swing speed. I may have to raise my loft to 12* . (I will take my driver wrench) tomorrow. (This Parkinson's is a pain in the butt.)  Will give you a report when I get back.    Retired Old Man, Terry

      You still got to lift your arms. You basically just roll your wrist over in the 1st half of the backswing.
