russtopherb Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 My son's team won their first PGA Jr match of the year yesterday, and he and his teammate captured 2 of the 3 flags in their match which was a lot of fun to see. He still needs a lot of work on his chipping, he either blades them or leaves them short, but his driver/fairway/hybrid were ON. They had a "par 4" at 226 yards and he nearly drove the green. I told him pretty soon he's going to need to give ME lessons! bardle, Big money, tony@CIC and 4 others 7 Quote In my carry bag: ST-X 10.5* Kai'li Blue R Flex ST-Z 15* Kai/li Blue R Flex ST-Z 4h Linq Blue R Flex Launcher 5h Launcher CBX 6i-PW CBX 54* & 58* Huntington Beach #10 e12 Contact CURRENTLY TESTING - Mizuno Long Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the match on the way to the car out of the blue he told me how much more fun he has playing golf than he did playing baseball. I've always told him that I don't care what he chooses to do, as long as he's having fun then I am 100% good with it, he shouldn't pick things just because I like them. But I can see him easily beating me in a few more years the way he's progressing! tony@CIC, Kenny B and MattF 3 Quote In my carry bag: ST-X 10.5* Kai'li Blue R Flex ST-Z 15* Kai/li Blue R Flex ST-Z 4h Linq Blue R Flex Launcher 5h Launcher CBX 6i-PW CBX 54* & 58* Huntington Beach #10 e12 Contact CURRENTLY TESTING - Mizuno Long Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmikecpa Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 So I got good news last week and better news over the weekend. The middle of last week I was pretty much done with golf for this season and tired of trying to play in pain or around pain which led to poor scores and no practice time. I went Friday for an MRI on my elbow and it actually has improved quite a bit now that I am in better shape and working out again. That was the first good news, but still did not solve why I am having pain in my elbow. Thanks to our asst. pro and a doctor at my club that I play some golf with we have an answer. Essentially everything that I did over the last few years to not hurt myself has led to an action that is terrible for my elbow but not necessary after losing 100 lbs. I spent half and hour on the range with our asst. pro and the doc working on refining my action to not cause any discomfort. I also am going back to my pitching days and will ice my elbow for half and hour after every round or practice session. Happy to say that I hit 100 balls on Saturday and another 100 balls yesterday and felt great today. Well great relatively speaking, but no discomfort that some Alieve could not solve. Hopefully this trend keeps up and I can salvage some of my season. tommc23, Peaksy68, ole gray and 6 others 9 Quote WITB 2024 Driver: Qi10 LS 9* Ltd.

Sent from my E6853 using MyGolfSpy mobile app So I played the first period on team Red (and Bonzai was on our team). I shut out team White, who had some significant firepower themselves, but... Second period I moved to team White to give Dave Parro a break, (team Red had already scored 2 on him) and they ended up scoring two more on me- first was a wicked Bondra snapshot above my right shoulder (he had about 3 inches between shoulder and crossbar) and just roofed it! - then he skated over and said "just gotta keep you honest!!!" Second goal was a two on one break - and guess who - Bondra to John Druce, who did not make a mistake! Was an absolutely amazing time! STUDque and Canucklehead 2 Quote What's in the bag?

If I let it go as far back as I can; I hit *more* shots flush.
