I accomplished something I’ve never done today. I followed a round in the 70s (77) with another round in the 70s (79) just one week later. Never had consecutive rounds in the 70s.

I’ve been teaching my two young girls. 7 & 8 for the past two years. Started out slow. Going to driving ranges, top golf, and have played at an Executive 9 hole about half a dozen times in the last year. I’ve found it’s a better experience for all if I take them one at a time. ordered a Spornia net and mat to practice in the shade of our garage as we live in the supreme heat of the desert. I also have a Wellputt 13’ mat to help keep the flat stick stroke tuned. I’m hoping that as theY become Better ball strikers they will enjoy hitting the course more than they do now. Occasionally they get distracted by the ducks, or rabbits, or bugs. It’s cute. But I’m hoping some of you might be able to give some tips to keep them more focused. I don’t want to push them but I want to nudge ‘em. I hope they fal in love and get addicted to hitting and practicing and playing but if they don’t it will just be a game mainly for me and occasionally the wife as well.

I have been playing for decades now, always working on my game. I have a indoor range in my living room, no garage I live in a apartment. I track my stats, take lessons and workout always hoping to get better. I play mostly New York City golf courses and some on Long Island.

I’ve made two videos that show how to use Arccos Caddie while playing and for post round analysis.

Made a review video about Arccos Caddie System and a how to use in course guide. Part two video coming soon will discuss how to review the data and my final thoughts on the system.

Thanks to MGS GolfSpy STUDque on his Very quick response in updating my profile and Helping with other issues. Appreciate it.

Hi Dave! Just read your Yeti Hopper Flip 8 review! Appreciate all the detail. I am on the fence between the 8 and 12 right now. Main use would be for a golf league every Monday so I see the 8 is probably the best way to go for fitting in the basket and what not. Just worried about those pool party days and maybe needing the 12 lol. Does the 12 not fit in the golf cart basket? Didn't see if that was covered in another review. Thanks!

New member here, just wanted to say I've been looking at MGS for a while and have to think the contributors here are the most knowledgeable group of golfers anywhere on the web. I hope to pick up more nuggets of useful information and look forward to enjoying the dialogue.

Love the "for all the marbles" head cover. Great job

Hello New to this forum. Just got into the site and the podcast about three weeks ago. Looking forward to being a part of this community.

Happy to have just joined the forum. 80 plus rounds over the summer and now stir crazy in Chicago. Can't wait to golf in Hawaii come March!!! Go Bears!!

I had been wondering - glad everything is okay with you.

I’m still around fellas. Just not much golf to talk about with the feet of snow on the ground.

Next steps to my road to improvement Current Adding the Mizuno MMC FliHi 4 iron to the bag once it comes it to replace my hybrid. The hybrid has too significant of a draw bias, not terrible, but I also draw the ball naturally already, and will probably go in and out of the bag, but I'm looking for better shot shaping with the FliHi and have that 210 to 225 distance into the green and off of the tee. Working on my putting. I'm rolling the ball nicely now with a slightly open stance with my current putter. I have another putter that I can get the ball rolling online, but the pace is off. Future step is to actually get fit for a putter. Working on my natural tempo and swing speed for the driver to have more consistent drives. See below for more info. Next Driver shaft optimization. Not looking for a new head yet. I like my 2017 M1 460. Interested in the journey of testing some shafts. Right now my shaft is determining what kind of shot I can do. Slower speed and tempo than my natural speed and tempo. This has lead to a great deal of inconsistency of trying to find the "magic speed and tempo" and I know that isn't the way to go. Swing speed training. I'll have multiple shafts at this point so I can game whatever is best fitting me as I go along. And I can always swing a little slower or club down to hit a fairway. Future Get fitted for a putter > get fitted for a driver/shaft and woods from a high level, reputable company willing to discuss numbers and takes the time and right approach. Open to custom shafts and not just from the OEM cart like at a Golf Galaxy. I have only been fitted to a driver once, but didn't purchase as I did not like the experience, small selection of shafts, and I wasn't swinging my natural speed and tempo like I should have.
