Hotels are going to be $109.22 after tax. That is for a two bed room here in Norwalk. The hotel is the Best Western. It was recently remodeled. The phone # is 419-663-3501 . I will have the block name as The Sand Trap. Wait until tomorrow to call though. My POC was out of the office until tomorrow morning. -

Feel free to post here or send a private message. I'll be following this thread. Looking forward to seeing everyone here! -
It's been awhile since my last post. I have been working hard on my game but with the new job and new responsibilities it has been tough. I have had two lessons with Dave Wedzik since my last post. The lessons were generally the same. I have been working on getting my wrist into more flexion through impact. I have also spent some time working on and understanding the pivot through the ball. This is easily the part of the golf swing that I understood the least amount and probably caused more issues than needed in my own swing and that of my students. Dave and Erik came to the course where I work at to hold 3 AimPoint Express clinics. We also had a chance to play 18 holes together. I really enjoyed listening to Dave and Erik discuss shots (they were teamed against our Director of Golf and me). Listening to the process really inspired us. We have our Pro/Assistant tomorrow. The format is two man best ball. Hopefully we can use some the inspiration to play well. Anyhow, here is my swing to date. (5.22.15) A couple of pictures of my favorite position changes.

I have attended the AimPoint Express clinic 3 times. I am weird in the fact that I can memorize things very easily. It would very easy for me to go back and teach it to all my students. However, I have not done that. I have given 5 minute summary classes to help spark the interest in taking the full class but never given enough that they could do it on their own. It is an interesting read in this month's Golf Magazine. Mark Sweeney basically says that Adam Scott's coach learned it and then taught it to Adam. Mark says that later they met and discussed the finer points in more detail. I think this could only increase the chances that someone will want to do same thing. On other forum sites I see the DVD listed for sale used everyday.

Best New Driver in the $200 Range?
Rob Thompson replied to deepfat's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I would wait until May 1st. I think you will see a price decrease in the G25 product line that might fit your budget. -
I agree, I get the question "are you a pro or something?" a lot. It is always sarcastic until I explain to them that I am a teaching pro and working on my own game. The members at my course do not ask, but when I am traveling, I get the stares and questions. When I have my FlightScope out it is really funny.
-
I generally practice at the range associated with the place I am working...Therefore its better for me to have an empty range. When the Pro is out practicing it seems like an open invitation for people to ask about thier own game. I love helping people so I am not complaining about that, but sometime you have 30 minutes to work on your own game and distractions make it hard to have a functional practice. If I am at another range where people do not know me, the number of people has no affect on me. Do you get funny looks when filming your swing? I always see people watching me
-
Thank you Michael. I spoke with Dave W. yesterday. Next lesson is scheduled and I have one other thing to clean up. This is the first time in a very long time I have been able to see a noticeable change in my swing pattern. I cannot wait to see what this season will bring.

Here is my latest practice session. Left side video is with a training aid. I am putting a bungee cord around my right arm to help me bend my right arm faster on the back swing. My main thought in the swing is to feel little to no wrist hinge with a super smooth transition. I have been using bungee cord so that I do not have to focus on the right arm and can place all my focus on the wrist and transition. Here is the pitching motion. I think its getting better but still not 100%. My thought has been to turn more level in the back swing and bend the right arm faster. Let me know what you think.

Rob Thompson replied to onthehunt526's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I would go with US Kids. I am a golf instructor and really like the weight of the US Kids. Also if a club breaks, you just take it to your vendor and they should be able to replace it at little to no cost (mostly shipping). You will not get that kind of customer service from Top Flight (Dicks). They may cost you a couple dollars more, but with the quality and customer service you will receive. It is well worth it. -
Fitbit Surge, Charge HR and Charge
Rob Thompson replied to Rob Thompson's topic in Fitness and Exercise
Thats great to hear. I am loving my Surge also. My only disappointment is that there is not a cycling tracker. I guess I should have known that before I bought it, but I was pretty sure I read that it did have it. My favorite feature is the silent alarm. I am not easy to wake up but with it vibrating my arm, I seem to wake up fast. Keep us posted on the weight loss. I always appreciate the struggle and success of a weight loss goals. -

Yeah that should be Silver not black. I would call and make sure but I just looked at our price list and custom options list and no black 125 listed. -
