I bit the bullet and set Jackson up with a driver fitting this evening. I knew he hit it far, but didn’t know any of his numbers. Spoke to the pro after the fitting who sent me this video: Fastest swing was 118 mph. Ball speeds mid 160s into the 170s He has been playing my old clubs which were stiff shafts so he was a bit wild off the tee before. Fitter fit him into a Titleist driver head with an X-stiff shaft. Got the spin rates down to the low 2000s and he said Jackson’s control with the Titleist was remarkable. I am sooooooooo screwed. I could out drive him before because I could control my spin. I figured my older head and weaker shaft was hurting him. I could watch his semi-weird swing all day long. His back swing to me, while on plane, does not look very powerful, but his lag is sooo natural and he uses his 6 foot, 210 pound frame to send it. So awesome to see him playing the game again! #NonGolfHistory

The Golf Channel is currently capturing a historical moment in golf. They are re-airing Shell’s Wonderful World of Golf where Roberto De Vicenzo faced off against San Snead. This is a period of time when Snead putted croquet style. Which was banned due to Snead’s effectiveness

A great example of the wristy putting stoke of golf day’s past. Here we have Walter Hagen putting in the 1920s. Notice the stroke and then take a moment to admire how the ball bounces to the hole. Thanks to Golf Difusión History for the video.

Baby steps. When my wife goes to sleep, I go to the workout room to work on my swing. It’s better than it was a month ago. It’s not a finished project but it’s closer.

My brother has a non-traditional golf swing, but he just makes it work. Today he hit multiple 270+ yard drives. Had 3-4 solid birdie putts but made zero of them. I beat him pretty good, yet suffered from some serious hooks and duck hooks. Couldn’t break 80 today:(

Why it’s a good idea to play golf with me- or hang out with me. I have been present or have hung out with people who have had 9 hole in one’s. Today I spent the day at Mt Lake. My host gets a hole-in-one on the very last day the course is open. The course goes under restoration tomorrow!!! Last week it was an albatross on the MacKenzie Course at 21 Golf Club. Even saw one at Augusta National. I am a lucky charm!

It’s been a while since I posted a video of my swing progress. This lower body action might be the best move I have made…maybe ever. I have a lot of thoughts and some may help you. Cont’d

My son won the Cousin’s Persimmon Club challenge at Rockford CC at dusk and the cash prize of $100. I mocked Jackson for opting for a 9 iron on the first tee shot (playing 370 yards). He hit 9 iron, 9 iron, wedge to 3 feet and a putt for par. Some pretty good golf considering he just started playing again and he had never played persimmons and blades.

Driving to get lunch in downtown Tampa when I encounter a group of adults riding four wheelers with animal heads affixed to them. When did this become a thing and how can we end it? #NonGolfHistory

A tender moment between older sister Madeline and younger brother, Jackson. She gave him a 5 minute hug (this is the end of it) - we didn’t realize she was crying until the end. Mid-hug Maddy realized that this might be the last time she sees her brother before he heads off to university. MJ is heading back to Jacksonville this evening:( Nothing like the laugh cry. #NonGolfHistory

My son’s swing on a 350 yard drive. He has gotten to a point just about 2 months into his comeback to the game that his bad drives are past my good drives. My only saving grace is my short game. On the first hole I hit my drive 303. He semi-mishit his to 304. He has an insane strong grip but his lag is a thing of wonder. Need to get him equipment and some lessons.

I hope this doesn’t come off as cruel because I absolutely love Scotland. During my stay here, I have eaten four hamburgers. One of them, I could only eat a bite of, the second two bites, the third and fourth I ate a bit more than half. I am taste testing a McDonald’s Hamburger in Edinburgh for you. For the record I am not fond of American Fast Food Hamburgers and of them McDonald’s is one of my least favorite. #NonGolfHistory

I told my daughter that if she broke her high school’s lacrosse save record I would buy her a new acoustic guitar. Then she plays this at Guitar Center- I think this is why it’s called”Pulling on one’s heart strings.” I could listen to her play this literally forever.

Earlier in the week I posted a video of 6-time Open Champion, Harry Vardon hitting a tee shot. Here is an extraordinary video of his swing in slow motion.

I already shared the spectacular video a golfer experiences while walking from the 15th hole to the 16th hole. Here is the first of the two stunning walks at Cypress Point. This is the walk from the 14th green to the 15th tee box. It’s equally as stunning. To be honest, the 15th hole is the best Par 3 at Cypress Point. USGA Golf Course Architecture

A short clip of “GUITAR IN A CAR” with my daughter Latte playing Dammit by Blink-182. How young is Latte? She refused to say the name of the song, because in her words, “it is a swear word.” Her amp in the front seat, playing guitar with blink-182 while her friend lip synchs.
