Yo, count me in for Saturday.

Play more than one full round...that's my goal. Rough summer. 🤣

Just seeing this now lol Not sure a lesson would help, as I have a whopping 2 full rounds in this year anyway 🤣

Is 2022 the year?

If it's Akron/Cleveland, I MIGHT be able to swing it. Moving to a new house and we get the keys on the 29th (Also my birthday...yay...), so I'm going to be swamped. I'll follow this and see what materializes.

Nothing super crazy, but I did win a closest to the pin trophy in an outing Sunday. 165 yards to about 10 feet. Surprised nobody beat it.

Sucks I missed it. Going to get some more injections in the wrists to see if I can buy time til winter. Don't get old...

Sanctuary is a great course. I haven't played any of the others. If anybody wants to hate themselves, the Quarry in Canton is another good one...

I'm a SOLID maybe. Just saw this. I have an outing on the 30th, but may be able to swing the 1st as well. @iacas @billchao @boogielicious @saevel25 @ChetlovesMer @RFKFREAK @Carl3 @Hardspoon @Slice of Life

Thanks for the invite...just saw this, been a busy summer/fall. In San Diego so I couldn't have made it anyway, but keep me in mind for the next one. God knows my game could use it...

Have fun guys, wish I could make it! White belts unite this weekend, and everyone look alive when Christian is attempting flop shots near you. 🤣

A mix between two. Holed out a birdie on a par 5 from about 45 yards. But arguably a better/more important one was on a hole that went very poorly to start. Terrible tee shot into the trees, bad punch out leaving my 80 yards into an easy, short par 4. Hit my SW to 6 feet and drained the par putt.

I don't think physically impossible is correct. This is golf, not basketball or football. Let's not forget that an almost 60 year old Jack Nicklaus took 6th place in the Masters, placing ahead of the last year's winner (Tiger Woods) back in the 90s.

After what we saw from Alex Smith, I'd say nothing is out of the realm of possibility. But as others have said, I think it's highly unlikely that he's ever a competitive golfer again. Edit: Now that I've scrolled through the rest, I see I'm not the first to bring up Smith lol

I said that for a reason lol

Almost everyone I've met from here has been cool. Even when they hit me with golf balls (@RFKFREAK)

Par 4 in league Thursday night...push my drive just into the rough on the right. 140 yards out, and I hit a perfect 9 iron that hits off the flagstick and rolls to 7-8'. Sink the birdie putt!

Next year!

Thursday league... Par 4 over water...230 carry or so, pin at 250. I normally hit an 8 iron to the right, but decided to YOLO a drive at the green pin high about 30' right. 2 putt birdie.

98 in post monsoon conditions. Rough day, putting greens were shag carpet, fairways were garbage, and rough was about 6" tall and THICK. My buddy Christian at a 12 hdcp shot a 108 lol

Nothing spectacular during my weekend trip to Northern Michigan. My 2 best probably came from bunkers. A fairway bunker 165 yards out, had to hit a cut and landed it soft to about 15 feet. The other was a deep bunker about 40 yards out. Hit one that checked up to about 3 feet. Barely made the putt lol

Vokeys. 56 and 60. Haven't used the 60 much, have been using the 56 for almost everything inside of 80 yards. Spent this weekend in Michigan playing some pretty tough courses in pretty brutal conditions. 1st round was an 85 in the rain, 2nd was an 82 at one of the toughest and nicest courses I've ever played (and that was with an ugly 9 on a Par 5), and I finished with an 86 on Sunday. All better than I expected. Starting to come together...Hoping that my bad rounds are in the mid 80s next season.

Sorry, my swing was off due to being nailed in the arm by a bladed flop attempt. 😂😂😂 Couple more hours at the range today. Really starting to feel more natural already. Spent about 30 mins yesterday trying to pitch/chip into a bucket in my backyard. AND finally bought 2 new wedges today. My 56 and 60 degree wedges were about 12 years old. Almost no grooves left 😂

Thanks homie! Back tonight to do more of the same. Just going to keep focusing on not dipping that leading shoulder until it becomes a natural part of the swing. That and tempo are really the only things I'm trying to dial in...then once I'm comfortable, back to work on the next step. I have a 4 round golf trip this weekend at some pretty tough courses...so it'll be interesting to see if I can focus and not fall into old habits.

Really grinding at the range lately. About 3 hours yesterday... Extra focused on tempo, shortening my backswing, and not dipping my left shoulder and head (thanks @iacas). Progress is being made, but it's slow...and still feels unnatural.
