Day 2:

Played 18. Penalty free round, which is nice. Had a few absolute stinkers off the tee; 2 with driver and 1 with 7-iron. Gained strokes off the tee and approach. Short game and putting weren't very good.

Day 4:

Played 18. Decent round except for two absolutely butchered holes. Still can't execute downswing piece confidently, and I need to put in more time practicing short game and putting as I am starting to consistently lose strokes there.

Day 1: 11/27/2023

Okay, here we go again. Practicing is rarely my issue. Posting it is usually the problem for me. 
But Holiday Travel is over so lets get started again.

Today, I spent 10 minutes in front of the mirror and 15 minutes in the garage practice net. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 5:

Lesson today, got something new to work on.

    • Yeah, their experiences with the Edel stuff does NOT match my own. Golfers shouldn't need to practice alignment, and golfers can't align a line on a ball very accurately either. Just a bunch of hooey in those posts up there, IMO and experience.
    • The exact same for me. Although I think I was more like 20 inches right of the hole, but yeah, same thing.  I'm telling you, the LAB putter people are a cult. The only thing in golf I've ever seen similar to this is The PROV1 cult. "Raise your right and swear; I will only play PROV1's, no matter if my handicap is north of 30 and I loose 9 golf balls per round." They are like Starbucks fans or I-phone people who refuse to admit the competition might be better as some stuff.  I have very literally heard people at the driving range talking about putters and bringing up "The Revealer". Saying things like "Have you seen how much putter X spins in The Revealer? ... You gotta get a LAB putter."  The other thing I find fascinating is the number of people who say something like "LAB putters are individually custom built, they aren't massed produced. That's why they cost so much." It is as if everyone of them is as unique as a fingerprint. 🤷‍♂️ I gotta give LAB all the credit in the world. Their marketing department has done wonders. Image what "The Hammer" could have been if it had been marketed by LAB.  I haven't liked any of the LAB Putters I've tried. If you do like them, that's great. But please put down the Kool-Aid: Don't join the cult. 
    • I thought this was an interesting discussion about someone asking about how lines impact aiming and LAB creator’s response. They were specifically asking about an Edel fitting. I don’t know what he was expecting posting this in a LAB forum. Why would you want to have to “work” on your aiming or overcome an aiming issue? I go to the eye doctor every year and they’ve said for the past 10 years your eyesight hasn’t changed. Am I missing something when he says it “changes all the time”?    I did an Edel fitting and went from aiming a foot right to spot on. I don’t use a line on the ball any longer and can just step up and putt knowing where I’m looking and where I’m aiming match. It changed my whole perspective on putters. I’d be fearful now of buying a putter just based off what I think looks good because I’d always be worried if I’m aiming where I’m looking.
