Not today, but last week: I was playing a new course, and my playing partner warned me on the approach to stay right of the pin, as there is a false front on the left side. So, I aimed 20 feet right and proceed to pull the approach shot. Ended up 4 inches from the cup. #HappyAccident

well said, sir

I wish I could, brother. My friends describe me as a really good player, but a horrible putter. Hoping to change that!

They've re-branded (sold, I believe) and is now The AmTour. I was playing Golfweek Tour, but they aren't getting on the good courses, so I just switched to AmTour. First tournament is April 13!!

We'll see how it holds up in competition....

I never really liked LIV. I thought of it as a high-paying exhibition thing. But the last straw for me was Rahm. Watching the PGA now feels like watching the JV team. It' just sad that the two cannot seem to play nicely. Now guys who barely made cuts before are winning on the PGA. If you want to see the best players in the world, they're on LIV. I'll watch golf whether it's LGPA, College, PGA, or LIV. It's nice that the CW is free, so I have been tuning in recently.

For me, it has more to do with putts inside 10 feet. I am an abysmal putter. I have been doing a lot of practice with 6 footers and I miss the hole completely - won't even catch the edge. But after reading a ton of articles, and watching a million YouTube videos on putting, I found out I am cross-eye dominant (I am right-handed, but left eye dominant). I moved the ball a little further up in my stance, and I close my right eye when lining up the putt, and I even keep it closed while putting. Dead straight into the heart every time.

How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? I started playing with a group of guys in the military back in 1992. My handicap is 2.7 and trending down! I generally shoot mid-70’s, but I’ve been known to drop a high 80’s score now and then What do you love about golf? The escape. It’s really hard to worry about your job or finances or anything else when you’re on the course – I’m just thinking about the next shot. But just having a beer and a laugh with friends is so rewarding. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? I’ve been a sporadic user for a lot of years. I think I first logged on in 2011. I don’t know any Spies other than that infamous group who went to the Kingdom for the Farmer’s so many years ago. Where are you from? What is your home course? I’m originally from southern CA, but moved to NE back in ’99, then to CO in 2010. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? Hitting a driver at altitude! Ball go far! But winter SUCKS. At least I have TopGolf Leagues and a SkyTrak in my garage. Those keep me sane until the snow melts. What do you do for a living? I am the CISO for a private equity firm based in Chicago. I work entirely remote, which is convenient, but I do miss interacting face to face sometimes. How’d you pick your user name? I typically play a fade, and it sounded cool.

Is there a list of “Winners” for MGS prizes?

Ok, so this is creepy. I also have a twin brother. We also turned 50 on Feb 17.....

I finally got my electric cart (BatCaddy X8R). It arrived while I was playing this weekend. Of course, we are expecting snow for the next week, so I won’t get to try it for a while.

Cold topped my drive on a par 5 into the high grass next to the white tees. Hacked it out and advanced it about 150 yards. Skulled a 6 iron, but it rolled out 200 yards. Put my 4th about 40 feet from the pin, and sank it for a not-so-routine par.

As usual, I am late to this party, but I just pulled the trigger on the BatCaddy X8R. Can't wait for it to arrive! It comes standard with the rear wheel stabilizers, cup-holder, umbrella, etc. I also got the seat, and basically every option possible :-)
