I'm not a father, that my nephew in my avatar, but I still have a dad!

He absolutely loved hitting the Titleist 915D2, so I bought him that, along with the matching fairway 3 wood. My sister bought him a new Scotty Cameron, while my mom bought him a golf bag and new Vokey's along with 3 boxes of the 2017 proV1. I got him irons last year, So his bag is full with the last clubs he'll ever need. He's 56 and not the type to just buy brand new clubs.

We were at Hunter Liggett and the scenery was great but it was hot.  Record temperatures for this time of year in the 100-110 range.  Our tents were 125 degrees + during the day.  Some of our training had to be curtailed due the heat.  We're a CSH and put up our hospital in Cat 5 heat over 3 days.  After that we had air conditioning but it had a hard time keeping up.   No heat injuries until the final day when the commander wanted to do a final formation at 1430 and hand out awards... 

Yeah, it's hot there too, but more trees to find 95 degree shade.  And that's common sense from your CDR ;-)

The history behind that place is fascinating, and we found the back road that takes you out to highway 1 and the beach. A pretty long private driveway once upon a time.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It's not meaningful, because driving = playing golf. When practicing "turns," that isn't what block practice is, and that's just one aspect of practicing driving. Block practice of turns would be practicing the same turn repeatedly in the same way. We'll talk sometime, Vishal, because I'm not sure I'm reading you right or vice versa. Block vs. Random practice "studies" are cited all the time, but it turns out that block practice isn't what many actually think it is, per Dr. Raymond Prior himself. I think it's a much narrower thing than what many people think it is.

      In my original post, the 'same thing' in relation to block practice of = 'how to handle the steering' not 'exact same turn 100 times'. There's a meaningful difference. Hope that clears the confusion. In any case I made a larger point in favor of block practice, ya know, repetition of a specific piece if done mindfully as a good thing, which I think is very much on topic. Matt's post ask a good question about learning a new motor pattern. Like how would you randomize 'make sure the club head goes outside the hands in the bs'? I would think it is literally the same move a 100 times = block practice right?

      Day 437 - 2025-12-11 Got some backswing work done on GEARS today after testing out a few things. Backswing looking pretty good, generally speaking. I can… Hinge a little earlier. Stay right a little longer. Keep a little trail knee flex. I'll continue with that the rest of December, then re-assess. It may go to the middle of January or so, before I can do the downswing stuff again.

      That post confused me. It's kinda been the whole topic here. Literally doing the same exact thing over and over again = block practice.
