I bought his videos about a year ago, tried them on and off for about a year. I've made a commitment to an exercise program this fall. I started his videos again . I'm in week three. we will see what happens in the spring. I'm working out at the gym 5 days a week. I'm doing 3 days of his beginner workouts, one day core and one day a full body work out . All days start out with a warm up and ends with 30 min of cardio.

SoftSpikes: Pulsars and Cleat Rippers
tosob replied to iacas's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.

Feedback on Recent Member Stats "Deep Dive"
tosob replied to RandallT's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
My analysis is a little bit different. Both have low fairway accuracy. S/C is at 43% or 6.02 per round (14* .43). His greens in regulation is 25% or 4.5 per round. This gives s/c 10 "good " looks at hitting the green, 6 from the fairway and the 4 par 3's. Now his green's in regulation look better, 45%. If s/c can increase fairway hit to say 9 and change his total to 13 good looks @ 45% is now 5.8. That is a shot and a half a round. Better looks might also help the gir % to increase. Working on finding a reliable tee shot will also help with the all the full swing shots. Shots that do miss the fairway wont be as bad, still giving you a decent chance to get it close. For me finding the fairway and not shooting from the trees is key to me having a chance to score, -
Thinking about getting fit for new irons.
tosob replied to tosob's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Thanks for all the comments. By the way I'm old and selfish. Marty shot 83 today -
I was going to make an appointment to get fit for new irons. Then clubs I was going to demo are Titleist ap1, Mizuno 900 forged and hot metal, Callaway apex . Now that Titleist has announced the new 718 I'm thinking about waiting and adding the ap3. Should I add any other clubs to the mix, wait for the 718's. How long before the shops have demo's? confused in nw indiana marty
