3/14: Storm is through northern VA and my shoveling is done. We got off easy here, and my guess is that it was just a few inches, as we turned to freezing rain early on. Not sure I've got the strength

13/3/17 - Two things today. Mirror work on takeaway led to me immediately realising that every issue from yesterday's range session was as a result of my weight getting too far toward my toes again at address. Straightaway, everything went back to where it was before, so that's a reminder of why that checkpoint is there for me! Secondly, did some putting work on tempo and distance control - my thought here is short backstroke and feeling more aggressive through the putt, which leads to me holing way more.

Fell off the wagon for 5 days.  Huge work project (ISP/IP space change) made me forget about golf...but it's times like those in which I need a 5-10 minute golf break most!  No excuses :naughty: ;-).

3/12: 10 minutes - continued work with more neutral grip (1/4 swings), then work with turn on full swings w/OW.

3/14: Storm is through northern VA and my shoveling is done. We got off easy here, and my guess is that it was just a few inches, as we turned to freezing rain early on. Not sure I've got the strength in my back to do any slow motion.  I just spent 5 minutes practicing in my brain how to pull my left hip back and around by straightening my left leg near impact.

It says that is valid here below (at 3:40 or so)!

      My Swing (saevel25)

      Good progress. I am finally feeling like I am settling my weight into my right foot earlier in the backswing. Right hip sinks back, right leg feels staying flexed. Feeling very stable and firm in the right leg. I feel like I could do a good squat with that right leg. Very balanced.

      oops, forgot Pebble Beach and Spyglass.  And two more of the original Open rota, Prestwick and Musselburgh (with hickory shafted rentals).  And Muirfield.  And maybe a few more, I'll check my list when I get home.

      Have You Played Where a PGA, Champions, or LPGA Event Has Been Played?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      In March of 1978 I got to play Pebble Beach GC. Played it from the back tees, since I knew I'd probably never play it again. Oops, shot 102.  Three weeks later, I played Torrey Pines - South, again from the back tees (maybe 6,700 yds in those days). Shot an 87, and missed a birdie putt on the lakeside No. 18 green. In 2021, I played TPC Deere Run in the Quad Cities area. This is site of the John Deere Classic. It was early October and the course was undergoing renovation, so I got to play the front nine twice for $110, lunch included. The course was great and the driving range was unbelievable. Hint: you need to pay attention to the wind drafts before you try to challenge the cross bunkers! BTW, Deere Run is a public course. Norwood Hills Country Club is site of the Champions tour event, the Ascension Charity Classic, now the Stifel Charity Classic. This classic layout has 36 holes.This summer I hope to play the West course where the Champions event is held; Missouri Golf Association is sponsoring an amateur event there.  I have played the shorter East course three times - it's quirky but quite fun. Also: Circa 2000 I played il Picciolo, a course at the base of Mount Etna in Sicily. The volcano was spewing ash that week. The course frequently hosts European pro events. Lots of elevation change and gently rippling fairways. Left a 7i shot 10 yards short of green on one par 5. Turns out the hole had a 12-foot high alpine flagstick, and I was not as close to the green as I thought I was (bad perspective).

      Just the Plantation course at Kapalua. Not like I didn't know it, but it was a visceral reminder of how ridiculously good the tour pros are. That course is f***ing *hard* playing it from ~6500 yards. From the tips!? Then if there's wind?!
