Been MIA from posting for a bit, but lurking daily to see what you all are up to. I think it'll be another season of little golf for me so I may deconstruct the entire swing and start over. I've joked with my playing group that I might just take up bowling because I know I'll get better rather than ride that steady decline downhill that started in 2019. Equipment-wise, I'm pretty happy with where I'm at so I don't anticipate any major changes. Callaway almost got me to impulse buy a UW as I was up for a 3AM feeding. I do have a putter that is in the works so that is something to look forward to.

Chill with club purchases. Difficult, I know, but I need to chill. Got my dream putter, splurged on an expensive driver setup, multiple iron sets, etc. I'm good with gear. I'm gonna try. The UW has been tempting me. I'm resisting. Instead of trying to hopelessly "fix" my swing, fix my mental. I can hit the ball, I can score. I just can't score consistently. It's all mental, I have unrealistic expectations of myself, I need to keep my composure in check. These are my big 2, which is what I usually always try to tell myself. Spend less on gear (but I love gear so much...), check my mental game (which is not easy to do at all).

Ive got a daughter on the way in January so my only goal is to get out on the course at least once a month 😂

Going to keep them easy for 2022. Play more new courses than I did in 2021. Play a full 18 with my oldest. Attempt to ask @Jaybananapantsarthur less questions about his 56 iron sets. Have a few transfusions with @mattybeyel Meet more of the T&C crew.

geaux Congratulations! Enjoy fatherhood, it is the best damn experience in the world.

I'd like to actually get better and take golf serious again, maybe a US AM or 4ball qualifier wouldn't be the worst thing ever

by the end of 2021 I will have played golf twice. for 2022 i'd like to at least play 3 times.

maxbianchi let’s do some FSGA four ball

2022 Golf Goals

ForeLeft

Now that I have a launch monitor and indoor golf setup, I’m going to be able to grind on my game all winter and stay sharp, rather than taking 6 months off each year.

1- get back to a + handicap. Goal for 2022 is +2 (currently 0.4).
2- TRAVEL. Go on 3 trips (out of state)
3 - find a 3 wood and iron set that works for me to achieve goal 1.
4- win the annual pro am I play In.

I’ve started to lay out a few goals for 2022:

Get speed back, only 20 haha but body feels like I’m 50. Goal for July 2022 is to be cruising at 112. Need to be back in the gym consistently
Optimize my numbers, much of 2021 was filled with hitting spinny cuts which kills me at longer courses especially in the wind
Play more courses and travel
Play some 4 ball events with @dphatt

Relocating to Sarasota from NJ, so I’ll be looking to meet some new people, find some courses to play and possibly establish myself at a club. Hoping to double my number of rounds per year and fine tune my game a bit. Ideally I’d like to go from 13hcp to 10 or less. Who really cares though.

Not label any merch in our golf shop. The last two days of putting stickers on millar and Greyson and whatever other bullshit, I am over it. Thank you pro shop attendant when you go into a nice shop

I posted earlier with my goals of getting in the gym and increasing club head speed. Been on TrackMan a few times this week for the first time since the summer. Pretty eye opening to see some numbers, club speed isn’t far off, would still like to add 4 MPH to my cruising speed. But I really need to add another gear and optimize my ball flight, irons are launching way to high and spinning too much. Driver I’ve battled spin with for 2 years now. I included a swing vid and some numbers for y’all. Those numbers were my best spin wise typically high 2000’s, also hoping to gain ball speed to where I’m cruising around 165

NSiman17 The moment I started working out my legs and shoulders you really start to see some big distance jumps. You will be well on your way with that swing!

OffTheDole

maxbianchi What type of leg workouts were you doing, @maxbianchi. I want to be able to rock those shorts you do (and hit bombs like you as well)

maxbianchi

So i've torn both my knees apart in the past from various sports and since those, I don't squat anymore. The incline leg press, as soft as it may sound, did wonders for me. Load up the plates on the incline and start buying 7 inch shorts!

OffTheDole

Good call on nixing the squats, maxbianchi.

I was doing Stronglifts 5x5 a while back and picked up some speed. Then I did a squat session that tweaked my back, pushing through when I should have stopped. Took months to recover.

maxbianchi

OffTheDole squats are highly overrated in my opinion

TFixer5

maxbianchi And I think they’re the best thing you can do, however also the easiest way to injure yourself. Maybe try front squats to move the load forward.

maxbianchi

TFixer5 I'll give that a go. I do need some extra yards too

@TFixer5 loves moving loads
