revkev Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Talked to my GP Doc about the CBD oil. My Doc knows little about it but is trying to get info about it. He has 1 patient who had tremendous results with the oil but other patients started off great but the results really didn’t last very long. Rev if you’re doing well with the cream that’s great. I’m going to look for some of the cream and see if it can help my knee.Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpyMy doctor was clear that the oil brings mixed results it the cream always works.

pulledabill Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 On 12/18/2019 at 4:36 AM, Trial&Error said: So admittedly, I don't "love" golf this time of year and chasing the ball among leaves and dormant grass in low light conditions just isn't much fun to me. So instead, these last several weeks I have instead been focusing on (and really enjoying) going to my club and playing and practicing wedges almost exclusively. It's kinda turned into an addiction and I've found myself enjoying it and thinking alot about ways to improve. Most of my time has been spent in 2 areas: 1) working on and collecting alot of data for distances for each wedge with half, 3/4, and full swings, with two wedges also having an added "specialty" distance 2) playing games going around the course like playing 18 holes playing only shots from 60-125yd and keeping proximity to hole, and also dropping a second ball in or around green inside 40 yards and keeping track of strokes and/or up and downs. It's really captured me, planning to go do more of the same with this today. Edit: as to the underlined above, this has been fascinating to me and has really quieted my mind on distances and shots........and the net result (+/-) in turn has been knowing/having 13 different "go to shots/yardages" between 62 yards and 127 yards. How cool! I may have to do this or something similar. cksurfdude 1 Quote DRIVER: Cobra F9 10.5 Tensei AV Blue 65g 3W- Callway XR PRO 16 stiff 5W- Alpha- Mitsubishi Diamana Redboard w/band Irons- Mizuno JPX 919 Tours with S KBS Tour shafts Hyrbid- TM 4h mid-rescue Vokey- Vokey SM5 51 degrees, SM7 Wedges 54 and 58 1/2 half 3 degrees upright Putter- Taylor Made Rossa Monza Mini Spider Ball-ProV1 and AVX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trial&Error Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 10 hours ago, pulledabill said: I may have to do this or something similar. Awesome. I suspect this kind of thing could help almost anyone, I'll elaborate on it alittle. I thought some folks seemed to "pick distances" they want to learn to hit wedges and go that route, fine nothing wrong there if that works. I opted a different route and thought, "if given a target line only and not given a set distance, how far does the same half swing, 3/4 swing, and full swing for each wedge go." This way I could loose the fixation of "learning the distance" I was trying to achieve and instead focus on something I felt was uniquely repeatable to my body and swing, across 4 different clubs. Then and only then I felt I had a good (and if not, good, much better) understanding of my carry numbers as it related to swing length which should be the same while learning my unique carry yardages for each club. This was my "data collection" portion. Then what was left was go and apply those findings in a "game" where I just filled out a scorecard with 50-75, 76-100, 101-125 on it (in lieu of players names) and each hole I'd alternate which "distance zone" I was to play from, keep score and proximity to the hole for each and learn to apply my swings and yardages while monitoring for any surprises as it related in miss clubbing or wind. All of this turned out to be alot whole lot of fun. sirchunksalot, cksurfdude and No3PuttLaLa 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMookie Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 While at the simulator, I was hoping to get my gap between my driver, 3 wood, 5 wood, and hybrid to figure out which ones “go”, but it showed my 7 iron going 195... I scrapped the idea when I saw the yardages “on the range”. With 30 min to go, I switched to playing Pebble. Well, yardages went back to “normal”. Kind of frustrating. I really want to know how far I hit the woods and hybrid so I can get rid of one.

sirchunksalot Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Today was the first nice weather we've had in a while and a great day to be at the range. I started out with wedges and was hitting hosel rocket after hosel rocket. This older gentleman walked up to me and asked if he could look at my swing and offer some help. He explained to me he had been a golf instructor for over 60 years (he was 86, and hitting the ball nicely). I obliged and took a couple of full swings with my 8 irons. He had me to adjust my grip and gave me some advice on lower body rotation. I started to see some improvement, especially in accuracy. He then wanted to go back and watch me hit some wedges and noticed that I was relying on my right hand way too much. He had me hit some balls focusing on my left arm and shoulder and quieting my right. It definitely improved my contact. He asked me to do some swings at home to try to ingrain what he showed me. This is the first time I've ever had someone watch and give advice, and I'm thankful he took the time out of his day to offer it. Fred was a great gentleman and I really enjoyed listening to the story of how he got into teaching. I hope I run into him again and can show some improvement when I do.

PMookie Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I took the opportunity to hit balls today while it was sunny and 70*, plus, it’s supposed to rain the next couple days and drop into the low 50s. I did a bunch of drills, and then sent video in for a lesson. I received the feedback tonight, so looking forward to moving forward!!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro sirchunksalot, Rickp and cksurfdude 3 Quote Driver: Ping G430 Max 9*, Ping Tour 70X Fairway: Ping G425 15*, Ping Tour 70X Hybrid: Ping G425 22*, Ping Tour 80X Irons: Ping i230 4-GW, TT DG X100 Wedges: SMS 50D/54V/58DModus 130 stiff, +1” Putter: EAS 1.0 Ball: Titleist 2023 AVX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edingc Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Changes from my lesson started to click a bit better at the range yesterday. Still had the heat on, but I broke a sweat by the time I got through my buckets. Trying to feel more up and less around in the backswing. I was mostly successful and really liked the positions I got in. I sent this particular shot to my coach - I'm a little across the line at the top and still a touch deep with the hands, but the results have been a lot better. cksurfdude, sirchunksalot, PMookie and 1 other 4 Quote Unofficial WHS Handicap: 7.5 / Anti-Cap: 13.0 (Last Updated Feb. 19, 2024) Driver: Callaway Paradym TD (10.5°, -1/N), 45.75", Fujikura Motore X F1 6X | Fitting Post 3 Wood: Cobra RadSpeed Big Tour (14.5°), 43", Fujikura Motore X F1 7X 20° Hybrid: PXG 0211 (2020 Model), 40.25", Mitsubishi Tensei AV RAW White 90X 4 Utility: Cobra KING Utility (2020 Model), 38.5", Aerotech SteelFiber i110cw Stiff 5-PW: Ben Hogan PTx Pro, 37" 7 Iron, Aerotech SteelFiber i125cw Stiff | Club Champion Fitting 50°, 54°, 58°: Edel SMS, V Grind, Nippon Modus 125 Wedge| Official Review Thread Putter: L.A.B.
