I received the Cup a couple days ago and was very excited.  I figured the best way to spend a day with the Newport Cup was on the course!

I immediately decided the University of Michigan's course would be a great place to play.  The course is located right across the street from The Big House.

There was no warming up on the practice green

Ultimately, the clubhouse staff told me to go home, take the Cup with me, and come back in May.

IMG_2447.JPG

 

Undeterred, I made the cross town trip to my "Home Course", Leslie Park Golf Course.  Things looked promising.

But then the reason for the empty parking lot became clear.

No golf at Leslie for a few more weeks.

IMG_2443.JPG

 

Still, I was optimistic.  Fox Hills remains open year round.  Surely I could play a quick nine there with the Cup.

So I settled down in the nearest snowbank and enjoyed a cold one.

Truthfully, it was a great day and The Newport Cup was a nice companion.  Yes, we got a few odd looks during our adventures.  I imagine everyone probably wanted to know how I acquired such a cool looking companion but were too embarrassed to ask.

Everyone should try to make one of the 2019 Newport Cup teams because having this little pewter trophy in your hands is worth the effort.

The NC was 2017, I got the cup Feb 2019.  There was a foot of snow and I had a broken bone in my left hand, so there wasn’t much for me to do with it and it was a bit past the point as well.

You could have still done something with it, had a little fun. You earned it.

But oh well.

Tried to do some winter disc golf but the photos just didn’t turn out very interesting.  Would have loved to take it to the indoor golf simulator or something like that.

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

      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.
