thanks for keeping us all updated on the today's rule changes - I would assume that many others like myself might otherwise be unaware of them, or at least unclear on them. Just felt like this post be

Thank you. Honestly, things like this - displays of gratitude and congratulations - here and elsewhere mean more to me than being on the list itself. I hope to meet you sometime here as well

Congrats, Erik! Awesome accomplishment and well deserved. 

 

Yikes Steve Sieracki's on that list though... funny too because I know you've always said these Top Whatever lists were all politics and not an accurate representation of a teacher's skill. You were clearly right about that one haha. 

 

That aside, it's still a cool thing. Congrats again, Erik!

Erik, I know you'll likely downplay this achievement as you have always scoffed at (and righty so) these kinds of "name recognition" contests, but in this case they got it right. Well deserved my friend.

How about that! Ever since joining this forum, and having the chance to meet Erik at the outing at Eagle Creek, I've been impressed. Apparently the folks at Golf Digest were as well!

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug ·

      The driver swing honestly feels good. Haven't played in a/the course for a bit but did pretty good at the sim place yesterday.  The idea has been to reduce twisting shaft instinctively at impact. For this have weakened left hand grip considerably. Pushed higher up in the hollow of the palm to take out index finger and thumb in pressure application which is a major are major contributors of shaft twisting at impact. On the flip side, right hand grip is way down in the lower part of the middle fingers. Not using index or thumb much at all. It also is designed to prevent getting underneath the shaft too much at impact. More of a float-loady  'paint the ball' feel through the ball. Overall address and neutral grip keeps both lead and trail sides on respective sides of the shaft instead of over or underneath the shaft. It seems it allows/promotes moving the shaft/club unit in unison with wrist/elbow/shoulder joints similar to an elephant swinging it's trunk. It does not feel like I am guiding the club path or trying to control club face at all. Fairly organic. Playing TPC Sawgrass in about a month. Will see how it all holds up. I hear its a good test.. heh.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 235 (24 Dec 24) - Rainy Christmas Eve day - worked on putting stroke by rolling a few on the carpet.  Lagging for distance was goal using a version of the ladder drill - started off by going up - 1st step about 3’ - and then stepping a bit higher with each successive roll.  Then stepping down the ladder with each roll resulting in a bit shorter roll.  A fun drill where pace is key.
