Day 168 (17 Oct 24) - semi-monthly walking of nine holes today.  Went this morning after helping the wife with her students on a math project around assembly of a couple of storage shelf units (was a blast working with the kids).  Air was brisk but breezy (solid hurting wind going out, wee doggy helping wind coming back), course is fall pristine and not busy - played up as set of tees as I had 3w and 4h as the only long clubs, focus was on iron play.  Love these working on the swing, distance control sessions - that calls for focused course management.

Day 17 - 2024-10-17

I practiced for 20 minutes today while exaggerating the backswing and downswing stuff. Kept it short, hit the 6I about 120 yards.

Day 92: range session at lunch. Worked on driver a bit - needed to get the ball teed further forward. Filmed my swing as well. Then did a stack session.

Day 169 (18 Oct 24) - Friday men's scramble - only 10 playing today so it was two threesomes and one foursome (older guys and chilly weather don't mix too well).  Anyway - solid day overall (won both par 3 closest to the pins - helps when you are the only one to hit the green on both holes) and was part of the winning team in terms of overall score.   Wound up winning enough to cover my scramble fee and cart fee with a $1 to the good.  Overall the round was solid - 8 of 14 fairways hit, 7 of 18 GIR (nice to have that kind of ball striking day), putting was a little off as I had 4 three putts (for a total of 36putts - a few strokes here or there and it would have been a sub-80 round!)  The greens were super slick (the greenskeepers are shooting for rolling on glass...that was from the mouth of one of them), which means if you were putting downhill and missed the cup you may be looking at an even longer uphill come backer (had a couple myself).  Really getting comfortable with the short irons and wedge play.  The latter was super solid as I had a number of up and downs for par that were less than 5' for the putt.  A good day of golf.

      My Swing (Rdd9108)

      By Rdd9108 ·

      Updated swing. Standing taller, weakened grip, and trying to not have as much wasted motion.

      The Ryder Cup Ticket Prices

      By cipher ·

      With the way concert tickets have gone recently and the location of the event, I am not overly surprised. It is disappointing, but I am sure people will pay it. I went to a practice round at the Straits and to Erik's point, it was rather dull to sit and watch a few groups come through. I wouldn't pay this if it was back at the Straits again.
