Gives me time to start saving my nickels......on second thought, maybe I’d better switch to quarters.

Atta baby. Put the change-jar on top of your dresser.

I guess I could use the change jar. I emptied it out about five years ago and paid for my wife and daughter to go to Disney for Princess Challenge (running events).

3 Jack Par - add him to the list. He and I have been chatting about it. He went last year. Describes it as golfers heaven.

Sounds like you could read some books.

 

Golf is Not a Game of Perfect

Putting Out of Your Mind

Every Shot Counts

Every Shot Must Have a Purpose

The Game Before the Game

Zen Golf

 

 

I go back and read one of these any time I struggle. Everything by Bob Rotella is good, How Champions Think is great too.

 

Just started Zen Golf. Thanks for the recommendations!

 

For me the hardest part is just clearing your head and focusing on the shot instead of what you're working on in the swing. It's easy to let mechanics creep into your round, especially after a few bad shots. On Saturday, my best shots all came when I didn't have a single mechanical thought...just see target, set up, and swing. Every time it was flushed. Then I would get a shot I was slightly uncomfortable with and start thinking about "make sure to flex my lead leg" and end up chunking it or hitting a pull long and over the green.

 

Certainly not my strong-suit.

 

I have come to think that no way I’m able to not have swing thoughts at the stage of the process. But that doesn’t mean I can’t also stay centered and focused (with some diligent efffort)

 

But I’m like you. I get teaching pros where I practice tell me ‘great swing’ and then I go out here and stink up the course.

 

What are you gonna do? ‘Golf is hard, keep working’ (message to 3 jack par from his teacher and 3 jack is a beast on the course!)

 

This is why it’s fun. It’s like that damn mechanical rabbit at a dog track.

 

I just started reading Be A Player and I think it's main focus is how to stay in the moment and not think about mechanics.

 

Pia Nilsson's books are great.

 

Edit: I'm wrong about what it's about, I just started it, it's about so much more. There's talk of left brain and right brain and how to switch between the two.

Gotta expand the definition of ‘change’ to include $20’s to tackle Bandon.

My brain is broken - I can’t remember the European guy’s name who pffted every swing idea and promised he could get anyone to hit it 300 in 1 lesson, etc.

 

That’s the guy we need.

He charges somewhere in the neighborhood of $300,000 to be a coach. Better save up quick.

 

His rants on YT about Monte are both hilarious and scary. So there's that.

I’d love Monte and Dan to join. Had planned on intviting them just as fellow bros and fellow golfers since I don’t know how many people are going to attend, we’d have to pay for their instruction and we’d probably have to pay the resort a fee for them to be cool with it as well.

 

I’d also love to figure out a fun competitive element to the trip as well - if there is interest in that sort of thing.

Yeah that was the interesting part of the video. They are using QCquad so they can measure dynamic lie. To get a "flat" strike they need to bend the iron 4* upright. Bend them that much and it shuts the face and introduces a huge hook

Will the committee be supplying first tee goodie bags? Will there be really good insurance deals available. It is a commodity, you know.

First of all, standard personal lines insurance and small commercial is becoming a commodity. Let’s just leave it there for the time being.

 

I’m going to need to consider walk-up music carefully.

You’d be missing out my friend. SwollenJockStrap is probably the best stick of all listed.

If we’re having walkup music I want a Blue Angles fly over. And Amanda B to interview me pre-round with that interactive board illustrating how I tend to make triple bogies when I string back-2-back skulled chip shots.
