  1. About the same thing happened to me on Jan 3. Got two stents in the right coronary artery then two weeks later got two more stents in the left artery. In cardiac rehab twice a week… that’s fun {sarcasm} but started playing golf again less than a week after the second procedure. Hang in there!!
  2. Happy Birthday @BeansGuy, @Samuel09152, @Emag315, and @MonroeBob!! Have a PAR-fect day!
  3. Yeah, I started practicing with only my right arm like Tiger and that helped with control. Funny you should mention Nicklaus; before I changed to my current putting stroke and using Heads Up putting, my stance and putting motion was similar to Jack. I found that his setup was best for my right eye dominance. The piston motion is probably a carryover from that time when I was searching for a putting game.
  4. Good Late Friday Morning everyone!! Close to freezing this morning, but this might be the last day for frost. Highs in the 60’s and 70’s through the weekend. It will be nice to play golf without 5 layers of clothes. Coffee was delayed this morning until after my cardiac rehab session. My BP seemed to be elevated during my last session… they didn’t like that for some reason. I haven’t fully recovered yet from my sore back, and I have 3 rounds of golf scheduled. My wife’s cousin is here this weekend and her BIL arrives on Monday… busy! Hope everyone has some great golf coming up and sad to hear about you @Peaksy68. Hope you can get to that restaurant soon. Don’t do what I did and ordered pizza delivered!!
  5. Thanks! We are headed to Virginia for the MGS Outing at Kingsmill so my wife and I will be driving straight through to make sure we get there in plenty of time to get our golf legs working again. On the way back we have friends to see in Georgia and Tennessee, then a stop for more friends just north of Denver. A nephew lives in Billings, so if it works out I’ll shoot you a message.
  6. Welcome to the forums!! Glad you joined us. Been a long time since I was through Sheridan, but I’ve driving to Virginia in May and I’ll get a chance to see it again!!
  7. You described my left hand (no nerve damage); just no control with it. Can’t make putts left hand low, but can make putts using only my right hand. It’s why I want to try reverse armlock.
  8. Hard to describe, but I use my right arm more than my left. I can actually putt pretty well with just my right hand, and I do that when warming up… trying not to break my right wrist. Elbows are slightly flexed and left elbow is more flexed on the through stroke. Shoulders don’t rock much; more of a piston motion with putter and head doesn’t release past hands. I can see that we will have some interesting discussions in Kingsmill!!
  9. I'll try to get that report. I know the guys in the shop, but they just got this so we will see how it goes. The main reason for doing this is to make adjustments to my “extra” Ping putter for my Kuchar reverse armlock experiment. I’m not making a change because I have putting troubles, but I’m curious about Kuchar’s new stroke because I think it’s close to how I use my right arm with my current putter in a standard setup. Just want to give it a try. I will start with my Ping gamer putter and my usual stroke to establish a baseline. Then have them tweak loft and lie on my other Ping putter to give me the best fit for reverse armlock stroke. The two Pings are the same except for length and lie angle. I really have no idea what my best setup would be for reverse armlock, including ball position. The video you posted about Bruce Rearick was interesting; I think I will have to experiment. You may have unique setup things, but there aren’t that many different strokes. Probably… but I have never seen anyone else with my putting stroke. I’m hoping that SAM PutLab doesn’t find a huge flaw that I should correct right before Kingsmill. Why in the heck am I doing this right now???
  10. Good Morning everyone!! It’s 32º but going to be sunny and 60º today; a little cooler this morning because no cloud cover last night. Yesterday I spent a couple of hours pitching, chipping and putting. I also tried to hit a few shots on the range, but each strike was met with a twinge of pain in my back. Hopefully, I can get rid of that before my Saturday tee time. Spent some time stretching in my sauna; seems to help a little, so will repeat today. I also booked a SAM PuttLab session for next Wednesday; never done it before so this should be interesting. Not sure I want to know that much about my putting stroke. I’m pretty sure that nobody putts the same way I do… wonder what SAM will think? Have a terrific Thursday and enjoy DST on the course if you are still working.
  11. Remove paper backing from one side of the tape allows you to put on the shaft and get it smoothed out without getting stuck to it. Once on, then remove the other paper backing and the grip is ready to put on with solvent applied inside the grip and on the sticky tape. Use lots or it might get stuck halfway on. I stopped doing that years ago and went to installing grips with an air compressor and no sticky tape or solvent. Do a search of the forum for using air to install grips. Lots of posts. good luck
  12. Happy Birthday @Up and Down!! Hope you have lots of them!!
  13. Good Morning everyone!! Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday! Temp is 37º and might make it to 60º; about the same as yesterday, but the wind is gone!! Warming up to the 70’s over the next week and sunny! Back is still sore, but I will head to the course for light swing work and short game practice. I could be persuaded to walk 9 holes if the opportunity presents itself.
  14. I’m impressed you are still hanging in there with the young studs!
