It has paid off. I finally met my goal of making it, at least temporarily, to a single digit...made it to a 9.7 as of this morning's revision

10/18. I'm back! Reviewed Evolvr lessons, and did 15min mirror work. Will go to range tomorrow for new video submission. Maybe even update to my swing thread. Odd, but I've been off a couple months or so from golf/TST, but I've been sorta mentally going through a lot of the items on my list from my instructor- at random times, just percolating the info. In the mirror work today, I felt like it was easier to flatten my club from the top than it has been. We will see tomorrow on video, but I'm hopeful that the time off didn't really stop some of my forward progress with the swing.

10/20 - 5 mins on grip and stance. Dressed up this morning a little more for work so didn't want to take swings. Also slept in, so no gym work this morning ;-)

Day late (but I was out of the running for an award anyway!). 10/19: Good range session with video. Reviewed all my recent lessons. Practiced the backswing- hitting the points my instructor wants (bit steeper than I'm used to) and with toe less vertical at A2.  Then focused on laying the club down. Did lots of slower swings until I could get it mostly right. Tried to confirm at the end with a few full speed swings. Not great results on video, but contact was great. It felt like a better swing. Getting back out today for more video, and submission to instructor.

10/20: Range and video work. Tried to get some good swings in at slow-ish speeds, but nothing was working right today. Abandoned any attempt at submitting a video. The transition in particular felt clumsy. Will take another stab at it tomorrow and just submit whatever I come up with. I'm sure my instructor will easily spot where I've regressed so much after some time off, and I probably shouldn't try to self-diagnose.

Walked 9 today. It was awesome weather for walking. Shot a 42. I was striking the ball pretty well, but had a few bad chip shots. One of these days, I will learn that you have to carry the ball all the way to the green down here. Bermuda grass eats your ball alive.

      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?

      Do you have examples of exceptional scores versus their established handicap indexes?

      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?
