Evolution of a golf swing. Thanks to all who encouraged and supported the effort -- I wouldn't have made it this far without you! Still a long way to go but the journey is half the fun! 🙂

Sad tale. Both the A's and Raiders. IMO, cities shouldn't be building stadiums for MLB/NFL teams. But that's the world we live in. DAY 3: 30-min range session with irons and wedges. Working on follow thru -- no hooks! 🙂- 17,192 replies

DAY 3: Swing practice in the Golf Garage (52°, PW, 7i) for 30 minutes. A little fall off from yesterday's gaudy numbers on the shot monitor, which I'm attributing to a little fatigue in the swing. Post-op rehab continues! ☺️- 17,192 replies

Black Mountain sounds like an awesome golf experience.

In the first tee box, long par 5 to start... out of bounds on the right with a giant chain link fence. I slice my driver... off the fence pole <<<bing!>>> ricochets back onto the fairway for 20 extra yards. The entire round felt like a bit of a struggle but, after I added* my scorecard, it was my 2nd best ever! "When it's your day, it's you day." --Rick Shiels [*I always add my scorecard AFTER my round because I don't want to get tied up in "score." I simply take the "best shot" for me on EVERY shot regardless. ]

I can see that. Lucky and unlucky on the same shot. #GolfIsHard

Don't worry about those birds... THAT'S FRIGGIN' AWESOME!

Wow... just wow. Bounced over with back spin?

Shot an 88 yesterday. Witnessed a clear example -- all things being equal -- of how distance off the tee is greater than accuracy. On 15, I sliced my tee shot (Driver) onto the an adjacent fairway. Still, it was a reasonable drive distance (250 yards) and clearly the accuracy left something to be desired: However, it did leave me an interesting approach shot. Down the other side of a hill, obfuscated by trees, creating a "blind shot." No worries. I hit the best approach shot of my golf life: And then, on the next stroke, bag my second birdy ever.

I just got a new B.O.A.T. BEST SHOT: So, the only thing I had working all day was my DRIVER. So, when I arrive at the twelfth tee box, I'm feeling pretty confident... However, I've lost a few balls (sliced drives) to the lateral water hazard. No worries, I've been nailing it. Then standing on the tee, I decide to go straight at it (shortcut). To be successful, however, I don't just need a good drive... I need my BEST drive... and I GET IT. Best shot of the day. Anxiously holding my breath until I saw it bounce on the far fairway... I practically skipped out of the tee box.

They told me I needed a co-signer.

That's 'cause I just "coined" it. You must've won on the Tour.
