Humbly broke 80 for the first time with a score on the front of 5 over, and -1 on the back for a total of 76. Had 4 birdies on the back, with a couple of extraordinary shots. The back was somewhat fluke-ish, so the score isn't going to go too much to my head, but I do feel pretty happy right now :-). 

I just want to personally thank all you guys who run this site and everyone reading who contributes wisdom here. Special thanks to @iacas, @mvmac, @saevel25, @Golfingdad, @Ernest Jones, @boogielicious, @SavvySwede, and @Lihu. The 5keys, the drills, all the threads, and personal insights provided here are priceless.

Cool! Keep breaking 80! Well done.

Broke par (finally!) with 69 from the white tees at Wing Point Country Club on July 25. It's a par 71 course. One eagle, 4 birdies, 9 pars, and 4 bogeys. Finished birdie, birdie, par on #16-18.

You not only broke it, you obliterated it! Congrats! Your 90 badge is now an 80 badge!

I did all 31 days of March "5 minutes daily practice"

Okay. Are you doing the April one? Those achievements - just the 5 Minutes Daily ones - I look for in the thread. So after April is over, post in the April thread and I'll see it and set you up. Thanks! And congrats!

I've just added two awards: https://thesandtrap.com/awards/.

They're the TST Outing Organizer and the TST Outing Participant. If you have earned either, please let me know specifically which event (the name and dates if possible) so I can note it in your award note.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Hitting some good shots on my golf trip. It's good I can tell when I hit better shots the way I want to swing the ball versus when I use an older swing. Shockingly, the short game has been at worst, not harmful to my game. I am using similar feels to the full swing, in that I try to get my hands down. I've been nipping the ball clean off the turf.

      How Much do You Exercise?

      By mdl ·

      I was laid off two months ago. Good severance, a 90 day layoff announcement regulation the company wanted to avoid so technically I'm still on the payroll for a few weeks, and a bunch of banked PTO, so I'm in a great spot and working on a startup idea I've been batting around with my brother for a while. That means I've got time to get to the gym! I'm at like 60-75 minutes 5x a week of strength training, and either a run or a bunch of time playing soccer or tennis with my daughter on the weekends. Stronger than I've been in forever. Up ~5 pounds of (noticeable!) muscle!

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Big C ·

      A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?
