Course was fun. Def would like to play it again

Was dealing with stuff at home and then got sick so haven't been able to practice the last two weeks but thought I'd share a swing from yesterday's outing. This is the 18th hole:

Had a blast meeting and playing with you @Chris Brooks& @mohearn We should do it again! Here's a couple of vids I took on the 18th hole:

Sorry to have been putting this off. So, we're looking at Friday morning at Hiawatha and En-Joie on Saturday? What times are you considering for both days?

Continuing on with same piece. Lots of ground balls but where I was hitting from on the range was a bit downhill and uneven so not sure if that contributed. Although it didn't feel like I advanced with this practice session, I know getting reps in did help. Decided with the last few balls to try and see what would happen at full speed with 6i and then driver so I can see if it's anything playable yet. With 6I, massive pull hooks/draws. With Driver, hit extreme top toe of the club face. Suffice to say, not playable yet.

Sullivan is Friday?

Oh, I'm sorry, I meant 230 on Saturday

Yup. I have friends who I play with who fluff up the ball when it's buried in the rough or who fudge their score and as long as we're not playing for anything, I don't really care. They're out there for fun so if that makes the game more fun for them, then why would I ruin that.

After yesterday's great lesson from @iacas I went to the range today got some balls. First ten balls, went to the top, paused, straightened my trail arm while bringing my hand to my back pocket, paused, then completed the swing. Took this video blending it all in at a slow speed, felt like 40%. A few pushes, pull draws, and straight drawers, got my first push draw and it felt really good. Didn't change the plan, and kept the same thought. Didn't really work on rolling my lead arm down because I don't feel too confident yet with my initial piece. Anyway here's the vid I took after that set of 10. Did the next 10 mostly good contact and good ball fight but still a work in progress so will continue. Final few balls tried at 80% speed but topped the ball and tried with driver flour times, made contact with the most upper right of the face, then a bit better on the second and third and on the fourth I hit a towering straight/push draw that hit the top center of the face. That felt good to finish on.

Hey, sorry for going a bit MIA. What time are you thinking? I can't do the morning but something around 230 should work for me. Alternatively I can do Sunday any time. Apologies as things have gotten a bit hectic for me

🥳 Thinking in autumn. Back home and big thanks to @iacas for all the time he gave me today. If you're on the fence, I'd strongly urge setting up a coaching session with him. He won't steer you wrong. 👍

I even came mid week for you! (Ok, it may have also best fit my schedule 😅)

Wish you were here, @ChetlovesMer 😞💛

Thanks! Actually getting a haircut tomorrow but only taking off the dead ends 🤭. ----- In anticipation of my lesson with @iacaslater this week, though it might be a good idea to take a vid of driver swing on the 18th hole of a tough day on the golf course. Here it is in slow motion.

Avg Holes Per 3 Putt 7.2 That's good, right?

Indeed, and bringing the club way too inside on the back swing. Probably should have left well enough alone. Next range session Tuesday 👍

Went to the range today because I didn't like how I crossed the line at the top on my last video and to try and fix my recent left to right ball moment and get a few swings in before my lesson with @iacas I watched a Mark Crossfield video where he talked about having the face closed at A5-A6. Didn't go well, though, as I was all over the club face and topped a bunch of balls. When I did get it in it air, it was mostly massive hooks. Anyway, here they be. (still not sure why it's not embedding when I post from my phone).

You're coming from Ohio, right @saevel25?

So, unless I'm mistaken, @saevel25would be good for next weekend, @Carl3can't do next weekend bc he has a wedding (congratulations 🎉) but may be able to do the following one, @SEMI_Duffercan't do either, @ChetlovesMercan't do weekends but may be able to do weekdays, and @iacaswill only be available until mid August. That about right?

Depending on my green fees I'd also be interested in this. That said, I'd have to drive back to Albany and then head out for our outing the next day. Ok, so the complete other direction from me. Was going to see if you were by me if you wanted to carpool.

If those places are around 100 or 200 miles from Albany then cool. @Carl3remind me, where would you be coming from?

What'd she shoot?

Yup, haha.

Yeah, I was going to say, with 100-150 miles from Albany would be my preference.

If more people were interested in doing it mid-week, I would be able to, just don't think it's a a realistic option.
