1: at 32 years of age, my mom got to see me play golf for the first time. Shot one of my best rounds ever an 88.

2: after an awful 54 on the front, shot my best nine ever on the back with a three over 39 with my new Golf buddy Brian. We gave eachother lots of flak and had an absolute blast that day!

3: getting a friend equipped and teaching him just enough to start playing golf. 

For 2016, I hope to have my lovely wife see me play. My game has improved tremendously since she last saw me play three years ago. Handicap went from 34 to 21.

When my daughter started her collegiate softball career, she was not a home run hitter.  However, her coach wanted to gear her for power.  He told he she could hit 50 home runs if she focused on that goal.  While she was proud of several records she holds at her school, her home runs records stands out.  The old school record was 28 in a career.  My daughter was playing on the road against a 1st Team All American pitcher who had not surrendered a home run all year.  She hit #49 in the first game of a DH and #50 the second game off of this pitcher.  This stands out because the next weekend, she tore her meniscus and so was injured the rest of the year.  Still, she was an All American again and ended her career with 8 school records.

Coach (me) to player, "Hey, what percentage of putts left short never go in?"  Player, "Coach, 100% of putts left short never go in."  Coach (me), "Exactly."  Player, "Coach what percentage of putts that go long never go in."  LOL!

Damned impressive.  As a dad of a high level girl athlete myself, something I can definitely relate to and celebrate!

    • Hopefully this one is better  
    • Patrick Cantlay's strokes gained from 2024: I wonder if he takes more time on approach shots given that was the worst part of his game last season. And then here are his 2023 stats: Much better ball striking season. I wonder if there are any differences in his times between these two seasons. I tend to think he's just slow in general, but it'd be interesting to see his time differences.
    • Not sure, I think players have their own pace. Speith was always slow, regardless if he was in contention or not. Well, more so when he was in contention. It might be a push there on that question. 
    • Without knowing the study at all, this could be more of a reflection of who is tournament ready and who isn't. If you have a quick trigger, it could mean your swing is working really well. Fidgeting, lots of rehearsals, maybe means your swing's not functioning as well as you'd like it to and you need more time to feel it all out before you hit your shot.  
    • A study done by the European Tour shows spending less time over the ball produces better shots.  This makes sense. I can see where if you are over the ball a long time you lose the ability to make a more athletic swing. There is also the possibility of just overthinking the shot while over the wall as well and not being in the right headspace.
