Not exactly inundating the site with conversation.  Did you select another venue?  Other than @Loose Cannon, the balance of the crew seems to have moved on.

That would be sad, I hope they haven't jumped ship. Seem like a good gang.

The old site is still up.  Very little activity, but we were a small "family".  I do believe some of the others have become active on another golf discussion board.  Most certainly, do not take that as anything negative against The Sand Trap.  Where we had such a small number of members, some have probably chosen to stick together. 

Shot Talk, since it had seemed to become such a small family, saw most of us casting barbs back and forth that we would never dare do in a larger group setting.  Yes, the Wisconsonites and Canadians were often reminded that sheep were for food and wool and not "recreation".  We have a few "ferinjers"... Ireland, South Africa, Australia, Arizona, etc. 

I've recently... in late February... retired.  Between trying to play 18 holes 7-days/week, take the dog for a 4-mile walk after the 18, keep up with lawn and other household chores, make multiple daily log-ons to Facebook and check of kids/grandkids, it doesn't leave a substantial amount of time to post anywhere.  And. there is a rumor that I get just a little "wordy" with my posts. 

We have some feelers out about a couple of members purchasing the site.  Currently, the site owners want entirely too much.  If the site should fold, who knows whether we will all abandon ship or start a new discussion board.  In the meantime, I'll keep passing through and post now and again.  If I can't find time, I may just teach the Black Lab to punch keys and let her post for me.

      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.

      Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
