Back home with the Newport Cup trophy.   Played our final points tournament today, came in 3rd and man I am beat, but I can't thank @iacas and @mvmac enough for putting on an awesome event,

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

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

But your eagle chip was the nastiest...you were on fire on the back 9.

It was such that you would've been lucky to even touch the ball with your club. The picture doesn't show that the hole was at the bottom of a second ~1 foot deep hole.

Today was a grind ... a really fun grind.   My morning match (with @mchepp, against @cipher and @bkuehn1952) ended in a dead heat with nobody ever being more than 1 up at any time.

In the afternoon, with @phillyk vs. @jsgolfer and @coachjimsc, nobody was ever more than 2up, and most of the Day was spent all square.

Really fun day.

Yeah it was a really fun day. Mid-South is a great course. Talamore is solid, too. Glad it's basically a dead heat going into tomorrow. It's wide open.

Excellent golf all around you guys, and thanks to the crew who keeps us updated with messages and pictures throughout. I feel like I was there (except in the bunkers, ah!). It sure looks like a lot of fun and a tight match overall. But the Red team is now where it needs to be: on top! :whistle::beer:

It's definitely been a case of one team winning, and not the other team losing. The matches have been really good so far.

All you guys look good have fun!

This picture doesn't do the lie justice. It was a foot or two down in that trench. I was secretly hoping @NCGolfer would try it because it wasn't going anywhere. The unplayable was the right choice and the hole out was the icing on top. :beer:

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
