Hey everyone! My name is Tommy and I'm from California. I've been playing golf for a year consistently (pretty much every weekend) but picked it up about 13 years back (only played about 5-10 rounds a year max). I'm down to an 8 handicap and looking to hopefully get down to a scratch golfer one day (one can only dream). Look forward to speaking with everyone. :banana:

Hello from San Diego

Golf is like being married to a beautiful woman that can cook, change a flat tire and never turns you down. But   just for fun she slaps you around in public.

Hello and welcome! I just moved to FL from Ohio. Liking it so far, but then again, there are several systems brewing in the tropics.

I don't miss the rain in Florida that's for sure...and the humidity. But I do miss floridas courses and prices to play! Way too expensive out here for a round of golf

It is pretty wet right now with a few tropical systems brewing. Such is life. I moved here for work. The job situation in Ohio was horrible.

    • Day 24: did a stack session. Worked a bit on downswing feels during breaks. 
    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
