League not official

Well as it turned out not enough players got out with rain hard and early so not counted. Money for week gets put into year end 36 hole finals. Skins go to next week doubled.

Good news back to only working 4 days next week as usual.

Got a tee time for Tuesday morning in place of my Practice Facility day. Going to the shorter, postage stamp green course near me. Good place to get some iron play and short game work. Still be getting to course early for both Tuesday practice round & Wednesday league play. And going to work the 5280 ITF hard, more focused and driven than ever. (A lot to do with banter here)

Also even though only been 6 rounds of scored league play this year. My index dropped 1 full point. Outside shot may slip into bottom of 1st flight upcoming round. If that happens moved back to rear tees and course just got 400 yds. longer.

Good problem to have, moving in right direction. Going to work hard this week on S&T ingraining.

@Tom Saguto@Russell Hogue, PhD & @GolfLivesMatter your threads are all motivators!!!

Thanks

The best way, at least for me, to engrain the SnT swing is to get in front of a mirror. i take the club back to the top without looking in the mirror, doing all the things I've learned from Tom. Then....i look up and check myself to see if I've performed the movement. I pivot from a down the line to a front view while staying in position. It's amazing how the brain remembers the various feels when using a mirror.

@Russell Hogue, PhD Completely disagree. I have software that draws any line on Earth for the golf swing, and frankly, while it is interesting to draw lines, in reality there's nothing better than looking in a mirror, real time. If lines were good, professional dancers would ditch mirrors and buy software to draw lines on their bodies during rehearsal. But from the three DWTS dancers I know out here, they use mirrors, mirrors, and more mirrors.

We finally disagree on something!

I think you misunderstand. The camera does exactly what the mirror does in real time…but it gives you a bunch of additional capability. So, with live view you can do 100% of everything you do with the mirror with the added benefit of not needing to turn your head out of position to see exactly what motions you are making dtl real-time. If you only want mirror mode, the advantage is that your head doesn’t move out of position to see the mirror. Live view simply adds capability you don’t have with a mirror only. I also use a mirror. It’s adequate for some things, but it just doesn’t allow the same level of training or the versatility of seeing real-time while actually hitting shots or making full swings, etc

@Russell Hogue, PhD After spending $$$ on software purchases, I've gone back to mirrors. I'm old school and even on the Golf Channel they talked about how tech is making people crazy to be "perfect". How did Snead, Nicklaus, Hogan, Palmer, Woods and countless others thrive without video software? The answer is there's nothing better than real time feedback, like a mirror or someone helping.

@Steven Way to go…on your way to championship flight. My league play has been a mixed bag. Playing off a 2 in a 9 hole league. Shot 38 three weeks in a row…all three rounds with a double bogey because I had to try and make up ground. Lost my 6 strokes, 10 strokes, and finally only 1 stroke (guy got up and down from a ridiculous spot on last hole to close me out). I am rethinking the low handicap. Feels like an 8 handicap would be more fun. :)

@Steven sounds like you have more time to play and enjoy the game. Congrats. I am still working and have at least 10yrs to retirement. Just got back into golf after 30 yrs since I played last. My boss has been bugging me to play in the league. Progression from a lower tier works basically the same as your league. Always room for improvement, just ask the 4 professional QB's that played last night from Vegas. Seems like a nice course atthe Wynn. Anyone ever play there? Tom, have you played Wynnin Vegas?

@fish4197 Nope - I've not played in Vegas. Glad to have you back in this great game, though!!

@fish4197 I never really plan on retiring fully, yes probably from full time driving but have other pursuits and some may be out of the country, see where the Lord leads me. Right now work 4 days a week and have Tuesday , Wednesday & Thursday off. Plus with load of golf course near by and 5280 ITF (home range) I'm getting a lot swings in.

Good luck on your league play. Here in South Florida this time of year with rain and the lightning horns, it a challenge to get 9 hole in. But will keep at it to try and lower my 25 handicap. 😀

@fish4197 Did you say “25 handicap”? That sent chills down my spine because during the improvement stage of golf, a 25 handicap means you are going to be raking in the cash. I am used to being on the other side. I have to give you 21 strokes and you go out and shoot 80. :) Nightmares I tell you. Nightmares!

@Russell Hogue, PhD I did say 25. But I rather be hitting clean good shots. Being competitive.
