Let’s see if I can summarize the 2017 Newport Cup experience from this past weekend: Weds: •    Arrive •    Meet everyone •    Get golf swag •    Back to the condo, discuss hole/course

And the final leaderboard is ready at last. I was scrambling to head out for a function as you guys were finishing up 17 & 18 (the reason I had to depart yesterday). The Snell Get Sum Optic Yellow

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Interesting, didn't know there was such a thing.. Normally complaints about bunkers I have come across is almost always about not enough sand.

Firm bunkers with less sand is good.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Big Lex ·

      Day 21: Today was two separate sessions, morning and evening. The morning session was 3-9 swings only, but getting in the delivery position, "pumping," and then going to the finish. Foam balls were used and then real balls. I was concentrating on solid contact.  In the evening, it was more 3-9 swings, a bit longer than that actually, but a bit slower speed. I was concentrating on synchronizing body rotation and hand movement.

      I assume you've already checked to see if there is some sort of calibration that can be done to the unit to verify aim?

      So I kind of feel dumb for asking this, but how do you line up the ball to the target properly? Given what I know about my swing and the fact that it kept telling me I was swinging 7° left today, I don't think I'm doing it properly. You just line up the ball with the target line on the screen, right? That's obvious. Except for some reason my target line is always slightly offset from the ball (for parallax?) and I can't seem to rectify that.

      My Swing (boogielicious)

      By billchao ·

      @boogielicious I made a quick video for you. I was going to say something but didn't really think about what I wanted to say before I started recording, so it is what it is. I don't know if it helps or not but this is what I mean by exaggerate the crap out of it. Get that clubface to feel like it's pointing to the ground, but still swing out at the ball. If you're not doing it at 50% speed, I'm not sure the issue is the speed. For me, the feel is more in my forearms than my wrists.

      Why Flaring Your Feet at Address Makes Golf Easier

      By dennyjones ·

      Welcome to TST @Bmich.   We're glad you've joined.   Like yourself, I've found that flaring my feet helps my swing.
