Day 77: 2/17/23

Busy day here. Didn't get much in. A little putting on my office putting mat. And I did my over-speed training. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Good 36 balls today. Starting on the downswing. Nice and slow, easy.

Day 78: 2/18/2023

I did day 15 of the COVID-19 practice challenge. 
I also got in a little mirror work, slow motion, I'm trying to fix a piece I'd fixed once before. Sometimes golf is 2 steps forward, one step back.

Day 79: 2/19/2023

I'm still dealing with the plague running through my household. So, I didn't have a lot of time today. 
This morning I got down in the basement and did slow-motion swings for 10 minutes, trying to focus on the impact position and the release. Of course also trying to maintain all the work I've put in on swing path, grip, stance, etc... As of now, the only way I can do all of those things at one time is in slow motion.

Day 13 (19 Feb 23) - More work with the choke down wedge shots in the back yard.   Set up where I could hit to all three target "holes" off the mat.  Closest target at around 5yds, farthest around 30yds (over the tulip tree) and the middle about 20yds.  Worked with both the 52 and 58 deg wedges.  Hit from both tight lies and "short rough" lies off the mat.  Focused on setup and ball placement in stance.

Day 112, February 20, 2023

Worked after some lessons. A video will be in my Member Swing topic, but… as I found last year, I have to go EXTREME for now. About 40 days left in this until April 1.

    • For what it's worth, the morning sports talk radio show I sometimes listened to was really laying into the "Sponsors paying more than double in order to increase the purse sizes. But felt like they were getting exactly the same thing for now twice the money." aspect.  They believe the economics were all thrown out of whack, when the LIV through huge checks at guys. The PGAT went to their sponsors with an effort to double the purse sizes, in order to keep pace with the whacky amount of money being tossed around. It sounded like at first the sponsors played ball, but then after rethinking it, they realized fattening the purses did nothing to help them sell more cars, watches, booze what-ever.  So, perhaps combined that with the lawsuits.
    • Yes. I think it's possible that they didn't realize it might literally cost them $200M. They could have stuck it out for $50M, but $200M was too much. I think that side of it was more from the Saudi side. They filed to not have discovery include certain government things, but lost that one. So, though they filed originally, they didn't know that discovery would be so broad. They're effectively the same lawsuit, though. It's the same court battle. It's a counter-suit, not an entirely different lawsuit. IANAL, but I think that matters. Same judge, etc. Not a doubling of costs or anything.
    • Hogan: "Hey Arnie, it's playing slow today."  Arnie: "That's cool. Right now I'm in flavor country." 
    • But most of the the time those smaller businesses aren't in lawsuits against another "business" who has a blank check funding their side. To the tune of BILLIONS of dollars at their disposal. I think you're underestimating how much money these lawsuits were costing the PGA Tour. The costs were expected to reach well into the tens of millions of dollars for each side.  The PIF probably could have bled the PGA Tour dry of cash if they really wanted to by dragging those multiple lawsuits out over multiple more years, especially considering that the PGA Tour was going to have to come up with money from somewhere to pay for the substantial increases in purses for the designated events. I highly doubt every designated event sponsor was going to be willing to double their investment for essentially the same product. Especially since the PGA Tour is a 501(c) (6) non-profit organization there's limits as to exactly where their funding can come from.  So I don't necessarily think it was a mutual desire to stop the bleeding of cash from the lawsuits, but rather the PGA Tour's desire to stop the bleeding of cash. I think the Saudi's/PIF were fine to continue to bleed cash until they ultimately got what they wanted.
    • I think once the lawsuits are dropped, they’re dropped. They could re-file but they can’t just say hey never mind.
