Can’t deny that you put a move on the ball. Is it a pretty move? Hard to say.

Wow, are you telling me that golf teachers are influenced by each other and continually absorb each others’ methods?
Next you’re going to say that Gankas isn’t brand new or that Mickelson didn’t invent an entirely new short game.
No. Horrible misread there.
I like and enjoy much of the content here. Just not the end of one episode of Strapped. And you’re free to feel however you want about it.

no, as in the keys in the S&T book are literally the exact same thing as the " 5 swing keys"
Gankas tells people what his influences are. These guys claim they made it themselves
They’re not but hey, whatever. Few did more to highlight issues with S&T than I/we did.

At what speed can you achieve a good “weight forward” finish position @KVV? 75%? And do you get much chance to practice or do you mostly play?
I’d put money on @kvv breaking 70 next year. Or, to make it more real, posting a plus differential.
If he starts seriously talking to @iacas I wouldn’t bet against him for anything.

To be clear I’m not angling for anything here. Mike Dynda, Coyne’s guy, or Mike Dickson at Congressional or Bernie at Caves would be great.
Just curious.
A great question. In the last year or so, my back has been pretty bad and practice tends to make it flame up. Took some lessons in the spring and trying to keep my left arm straight and rotate though the ball and finish left gave me such wicked spasms that I stopped practicing for several months. It’s obvious losing weight would likely help with this. But also a reality that Not picking up the game until I was about 25 left me with baseball swing patterns that are hard to erase. Open to any and all suggestions though.

Strangely enough you’ve now got me thinking strapped: Erie could be pretty good. The DesMoines season was great, and Erie feels like it’s cut from the same cloth as Des Moines (even I don’t know what this means but it feels accurate)

Their $500 would go pretty far here. They might even have enough for some fun times at the casino.

There is a lot to like in your swing, it is pretty athletic. Less weight would help, but stretching is probably more important to get the body to turn through and help the left exit. Look up elasticgolfer on Instagram, some of his videos are fascinating, the movements can be done at home and they can really help.

@djpie or anyone else that knows, What is the name of the song that starts anytime Neil flies too close to the sun? I like to call it the Ballard of Icarito but unfortunately that doesn’t show up in my music search

In the spirit of the season I chose not to respond to this until now. I am at a loss for how 10 people liked Dave’s comment. He doubled down on the idea that the fear people have of Baltimore is “bullshit” despite clear evidence suggesting it’s not. And then he pulled the race card because that’s always a handy tactic to win over certain groups of people.
How can a fear be “bullshit” or “racist” if it is based on fact?? I can’t even wrap my head around that. The only spin zone I can imagine @KVV utilizing is to say that the large majority of violence is gang-related and that it occurs in certain areas. But does that really sooth the worries of families when there are many better options that don’t come with any concerns of violence at all? What about general comfort knowing you are in a clean, safe area? And if not the fear of being shot, what about the fear of being robbed or witnessing violence or sketchy activity?
Baltimore is factually one of the most dangerous cities in America. To dismiss concerns about its violence as “bullshit” is to excuse the poor governing that has led to its deterioration. It sounds like complacency. It sounds like you don’t want to take the drastic measures necessary to improve. Don’t demean those who simply want to feel safe.

I think the problem is similar to south Atlanta, and somewhat to Chicago. White people who live around the city say it’s safe to go inside during the day, and it can even be a good place to be. Much of the violence is from one community to itself, so if you’re not part of the community you aren’t as involved in that violence.
Finally watched this last episode, sitting in federal hill, baltimore actually. Greystone is a very legit track and hardly belongs in a county rotation. You guys caught it right with the dawn patrol through the farms and horse fields.
I appreciated the porch session with @KVV thoroughly. As someone who voluntarily spends a ton of time in baltimore, I find myself feeling the need to justify that to folks. This series did an excellent portrayal of where you may play in Baltimore and the type of people you may find there. And that’s what Strapped is about @iacas . No one’s telling or even asking you to visit these places. Context, ya know? Outright telling someone you don’t care what they have to say about where they’re from in a community that spends time together is a bit weird. Is that how you often start conversations? Prob a ton fun to play with!
@Eric_Denver you not interested in visiting Baltimore is a surprise to no one. Thanks for joining the convo as always.
Saw this today, thought it fits in here and works for me:
