Shit I didn't realize it was your first eagle ever! Congrats.

Yup, first one, thanks!

Still have never made an eagle putt 😉

Eagled #9 (Lakes)  458yd. Driver, 5w, sunk the 12 footer.  I believe its my first eagle this year, and quite frankly, a long time.  Added it to the birdie challenge spreadsheet of course.

Another tournament prize for me yesterday.  Not played golf for a year and two weeks back played a tournament.  Horribly inconsistent round.  Post that didn't touch my clubs before playing another tournament yesterday.  Fairly decent round with the exception of 3 triple bogeys, 2 of which were OB.  The other was just bad shots and decisions.  Still finished 16 over and was runner up in the gross stableford event with 22 points.  The winner had 23 points

22 points in a gross Stableford is solid. Nice job.

Yup, 3 triples, 8 bogeys and 7 pars I think.  So maybe 17 over.  But yeah, happy with the score, game and trophy

    • Hey, thanks for the feedback. I do lift weights but I’m also adding yoga or Pilates for mobility and flexibility to my routine. 
    • Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.
    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
    • I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
