Day 6:

Played 18, solid round until I tripled  #13 and doubled  #14, but recovered to par out on the way in with 4 straight GIR with very makeable birdie putts.

@DaHolla I hope to get to full swing one day.  I'm told I am just doing under half swing, when I try full swing I just hit the ground and miss the ball and look silly.

Slow motion swings with a hybrid followed by distance control putting through 50 mm gates. No gates hit, but only took 20 putts, far short of my normal 51.

Day 93 (3 Aug 24) - Late afternoon session with 8i and hard foam balls - focused on the setup, especially the grip.  Noticed more of a push in shots lately.  First few shots where heavy, got settled and by end of session much better contact and shot shape.  Love these return to basics type drills.

Day 9:  Played 9 and beat my best by 6!  44 on a par 33, not bad for about 4 months of playing.  

I may not hit the ball far, but at least I find all of the pretty flowers.

Range work in preparation for a tournament this weekend in which my partner and I are two-time defending champions. Been battling tennis elbow and shanked way too many this afternoon. Finished with putting practice and putted well for me.

Day 10:  Had an hour long practice playing three holes.  Got some good pointers and practice using my 3w and 5h.  I was then able to finish the rest of the front nine but I didn’t keep score.  

I may not hit the ball far, but at least I find all of the pretty flowers.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Yea, it seems clear that if it isn’t marked or set by the committee it’s in bounds. Now, should you go trespassing to hit a ball. 😉

      Bachelor of Science in Chemistry here. While my senior thesis was in Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry (Physics as it relates to atoms and molecules) was one of my favorite courses.

      I'd agree if you removed Scheffler. The best players in the world, by a mile, leading by four shots before Sunday isn't a dream setup for drama and entertainment.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By iacas · Posted

      It was here, too, and I'll link to a few topics and posts, including one of yours in which I got this all wrong. Which is why it's one of the questions I've asked about 10+ different USGA people. 😄  Including Thomas Pagel, Kathryn Belanger, and others. This topic below (from which I took a few of the quotes above) devolved into a discussion of unmarked OB: And, I came to learn that I was wrong about my stance in that, which is pretty much what you seem to now be saying.
