similar but not exactly that kind...

congratulations on your hole in one, way to go...

which one is Scotty Scheffler using do you know?

sounds great.... enjoy

Good morning everyone.. Looks like a "practice with a purpose" day for me today. I will go through all my practice sessions I have developed over the past 8 years with all my clubs except the driver and 3 wood as the range is irons only today. Then after my practice I head to my daughters to start a weekend celebration with my 8 year old grandson. Pizza, sleep over, then a wonderful classic movie "Godzilla and Kong" I can hardly wait ( sarcasm) I enjoy seeing my little guy through a 65 year old lease, (oh to be 8 again) he is a great kid so there is that... I hope all the spy's that are challenged with medical issues feel better, and try and find some time to enjoy the weekend...

Put on some "rocking" music and enjoy...stop in Henderson and see Butch Harmon for a cup of coffee...

My sincere condolences that my Bruins will be "schooling" your leafs starting Saturday @Cfhandyman...all kidding aside, it will be a great series, TO has a great team...

what's your best guess for dinner?

The short answer is yes, it can happen and quickly, All of us on this site know how "fickle" this game is, even at the elite level. A lot and I mean a lot is going to change in the next 6 months for Scottie, there are a lot of questions in my mind how he will handle these life changing events. For some reason I don't see Merideth chasing Scotty down the driveway with a 4 iron... just saying...

congrats testers... have fun with this one, lots of "noise" on this site about LAB, what enquiring minds need to really know is "can you open a stubby with one"

ahh, the "grip" sounds like it was a good session, way to go...

that brings back memories, thanks

Good morning spy's, Interesting day yesterday, we volunteered to take our 9 year old twins on a field trip, this included public transit to and from the event. If there are any elementary teachers on this site, I send out my sincere condolences lol, just kidding, you have a big job and need lots of energy to keep up with those kids... Today the weather is spectacular in victoria, chilly this morning 1 degree celcius but by the time I tee off at noon should be a balmy 11-12... competitions are getting closer, interclub April 23rd, then Island Open April 27-28 (usually the 1st. tournament of the year for me) I get a big anxious around 7-10 days prior to the events just wondering if I am ready to perform etc. but I had a good session with my sports psychologist and have it figured out... Just my DNA and I have to "trick" it... Anyway, hope everyone's day is great....

any snippets from your driver lesson?

I vote for indoor golf facility.... just saying lol, have a great day...

We like to try a few things from the Champions Dinner menu but Jon had some unique stuff so we went with Seafood Fettucinni... very good and very fattening... lol

what a fantastic skill set he has, my hope is he works harder than any other golfer and rises to the "elite" level. I will be watching with interest. A question for you, Jamie, as I am sure you have been around many elite athletes in your former job, was there one element that was consistent with the best curlers in the world?

Us West coasters like to tease Torontarians a little bit, have fun today...

Good morning spy's Looking back at my posts this week I started monday by saying I was really struggling with my game. And believe me all aspects, I felt, needed work, the whole process seemed really daunting. I reverted back to my "tournament" routine of 10-15 bunker shots, 20-25 chips, then putting. Bunker thoughts-Hit 2 inches behind the ball, focus my eye on the impact spot, smooth swing, and always follow through Chips- hands forward, eye on the back of the ball, pick a landing spot, head still and follow through. Putting- 10 feet and in- face square, straight back straight through, follow through on intended line, listen for the ball to go in the cup,outside 10 feet-"feel" the distance, straight back straight through, keep head down until close to stopping. took Tuesday off, played Wednesday shot 78-Thursday coming around shot 74, Friday shot 72 and yesterday shot 72 with 4 birdies on the back 9. So this week coming up I will continue my pre game routine and keep fine tuning all aspects. Anyway enjoy Master's Sunday everyone...Should be a barn burner

are your course open in "the centre of universe" @Cfhandyman

I was new to forums in general when I joined, I didn't know anything about testing, I joined as I was looking to replace all my equipment (which I have done) and MGS helped confirm some of my purchase choices.

I agree with this comment big time, my personality, experience, or age, don't know, but I find myself having to stick with a few routines that I have worked on over the decades. More times than not I am working on something with my game and I say to myself "hey, I have done this before" so nothing really new pops up very often.

Sounds like the proof is in the pudding for you @chisag...you are as giddy as a schoolgirl... all I can say is I am going to give it a try, if an old fart like you can get this excited it is worth a try for an old fart like me, thanks for sharing your results so eloquently.

Hello spy's I had a good game today, shot even par 72 2 birdies, 2 bogies and 14 pars. Feeling like my game is rounding into shape. Putting is getting more consistent, chipping is better, not perfect but better, ball striking is getting better too. We hit off matts all winter and it has taken longer to get used to not hitting off them than I thought it would, but I still have a bit of time before tournament season starts. Playing tomorrow, supposed to be good weather so looking forward to that.. Have a great Master's weekend everyone...

Wow, everything looks great to me, if you want to try one thing you may want to tighten up your follow through, although Arnold Palmer did pretty good with that helicopter finish. When you are hitting it great are there any "feels" that you could repeat when it starts to go sideways? Cause and affect kind of thing?
