Good luck, men!
 

Hope the weather is great and you let go and let GOD control what you cannot. That way, your focus on what you can do will be 100% as will your peace and enjoyment! If you do hit a "bad" shot, let it go, remember what Hogan said about only hitting a few perfect shots a round! You will hit many great shots, I believe! I'm confident you'll enjoy the fun of such a great experience!

City,
I am sometimes wondering if one of us is looking for a behavior management aide.

I have found my behavior mgmnt aide, Jerry.
 

It is G.O.L.F. and my friends which feel that sweet momentum and all manifestations of that power and precision.

Georgia PGA Championship Leaderboard
 

Ted's completed 36 holes and is in at 80-77=157 (+13 / 86th). Jeff's first round of even par 72 (T13) is in the books, and he tees off at 1:10 PM today for Round 2.

The leaders are hot, so let's make some birdies!

Movin' On Up!
 

Jeff Hull today shot 70 (-2) and is solo 7th. He's already had his 'bad' round -- even par! -- and is always a threat to go low. The leader has yet to encounter his 'rough patch' and now shoulders the pressure of the lead (-9).

In tomorrow's final round, seven shots can evaporate in a hurry.

Go Jeff!

:salut:

Jeff Hull, great day.

Opposite Pressures
 

Through 12 on this final day, Jeff is 2-under and at -4 for the tournament. The leader (through 10) is one-over and at -8.

The lead is shrinking -- our plan! -- and there's still plenty of golf left to play. Jeff is four back from T-1 and two back from T-2.

Go Jeff!

Jeff Hull posted an outstanding -4 for the Tournament. Great effort Jeff. :golf:

multiple choice
 

Choose only one:

A. Receive a $2.5 million dollar home, tax free and you have to putt slow, grainy greens for the rest of your life.

B. Sit on a porcupine, and you get to putt fast bent grass for the rest of your life.

C. Receive a free 2011 Bassmaster fishing boat, and you never get to play golf again.

I think the answer is obvious...

I choose B!

Seriously (which is difficult for me), Jeff played extremely well. Way to go Jeff! I thought the greens were impossible. I don't have anything in the bag for slow bermuda. I’d have to take a putting lesson from Jeff to keep from shooting 1000.

How anyone was able to putt those greens I haven't a clue. I borrowed a putter from Jeff for the next two rounds, and I was still terrible. I couldn't stand over a three footer and think that I could hit the hole. My 1 degree Bettinardi with grooves on the face made my ball look like a bowling ball rolling through hot tar. I lost interest quickly, having my putting handcuffed.

Last year, on the same course, I had 24 putts and shot 70. I have no idea how many feet faster they were rolling last year. When we returned later in the year to finish the rained-out tournament, I putted just as poorly on the over-seed. This year, I shoot 80, hitting 12 greens and playing with the same ball the entire time, with 37 putts. I have no idea how many decades ago I had 37 putts. Having 24 putts again would only be a 67. I'm still in shock.

Congratulations Jeff and Ted!
 

Fine effort!









Patrick

Congratulations anyway. We're proud of you for just getting into the Tournament. You finished. I can't imagine three days without your putter working normal. Great job.

Oh, by the way, when we play next spring, you ride with Innercityteacher. :)

Georgia PGA / Final Results
 

Congrats to 'our guys' -- Jeff Hull and Ted Fort -- for their participation in this great Sectional championship. Jeff finished at -4 and T-3. Ted finished at +24 and T-80.

Thanks to Ted for giving us insights into the tournament and its conditionms.

Jeff, how did it look from your end?

:salut:

That's it, D! Me and my Titanium hip are going to open up a can of "whoop ass" on
 

....your suburban (notice "sub" urban) Chicago person.! My Spring break is April 18th-22nd. Pick your dates in that window. Grab your ankles, bend over (won't be the first time, right?) and kiss your butt goodbye!!!! :)

Loser of the most holes in this grudge match cannot post for that number of days up to seven, and the winner gets unlimited emoticons with which to torment the loser for one week! Match play, 2 rounds, no strokes, from the tips of whichever course is around (if we take a lesson do we play for free at Lynn's course?).

I'm sending Lynn a PM right now to ask if he'll be around for a couple of lessons and to see if I can get my GSEM. I'm starting a new savings fund: "Daryl's Stone Marker Noting the Scores of His Losses to InnerCityTeacher, April 2011."

Hopefully, Jerry and Kevin, not to mention OB and others will be on hand when you finally capitulate.

I have respect for you Daryl, as an intelligent, sophisticated golfer, and as a very good and funny writer, but it's time you face the Primeval forces that shaped the cosmos (nastier than your daily use of Metamucil and prunes). Contact your priest, rabbi, minister or channel Saddam H. Ask them to describe what life will be like after your defeat. Ask them to use optimistic, positive terms, since I will be kind even while shattering your golfing swagger! &D:

It's on! "Feelin' froggy? Jump up!" &B:

Dear Threadjacker,

Not if I graded the test.

Cuscowilla, from the Tips? I'll give you 12 strokes. You won't beat me if you had a GSED and ten lessons from Yoda. Maybe if Mother Teresa was on your bag............ Not.

Gone Fishin'
 

I will definately agree with Ted about the condition of the greens, they were very tough to putt. I hit 50/54 greens and made 8 birdies and 4 bogeys. 3 of my bogeys were 3 putts that I actually hit very good putts on. The other bogey I lipped out the par save.

I still had a chance on the final day but once again could not get anything to fall. I missed a 3 foot birdie putt on #16 and a 5 foot birdie putt on #18. Both putts were actually straight by the earth but the grain took them 6" off line. I actually thought I made them both but I got "grained".

Given the opportunity I will take the Bass Boat and hang up the sticks!

I have learned a lot from watching Jeff swing the club. The videos with Lynn are top notch. Not a surprise to see him play so well. Congrats, keep it up.

Someone got lucky because his home course probably has slow sticky greens. Who knows.

Great playing - You were out there competing! You don't know how lucky you are.:salut:

Ted and Jeff are inspirations to me and I have several of their videos!
 

Really, nice job guys. I appreciate your teaching and efforts. I'm sorry for threatening Daryl in this thread with a golf-beating.

I felt like you guys would understand a person being inspired to take on a golfing challenge, even a small challenge like Daryl. I did send Yoda a PM asking for lesson times during my Spring Break. I'm not sure how these things work but maybe I'll see you both there.

I have to go now and channel soon to be Saint Mother Theresa and get her on my bag all of April, 2011. :)

Did you here Daryl's giving me 12 strokes a round? :laughing9

Peace and Congratulations, again.

Patrick

I have had many, many hours of lessons reading Yoda's posts.
 

Listen Daryl, you don't realize how good this TGM stuff is, because you are a great golfer. I was really, really awful and I can do things I never felt possible. You will have to drive out TGM, from my cold, dead brain using a nuclear explosion!


To quote "The Death of Arthur," "I will prove it upon your person, with great joy!"

When it's over, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you and everyone else on this site have contributed 'light that reveals', a form of golfing excellence. I enjoy your posts so much that I intend to show you the insight I gathered in person, in competition!

When one of my students learns something and surpasses me with their understanding of it, I feel encouraged! :) April will be a good month for all of us!

Patrick

April is not good for me. Early March has some potential.
By the way, if you are going to go after D on the golf course, are you going to be expecting a few strokes as per your GHIN or are you going to go into this cold turkey?

Hi Jerry,

We'll send pictures of my "Victory Toast". I'm giving him 12 strokes and a box of Kleenex. It will be interesting to see which one he runs out of first. :laughing9

Be careful, D. City is a cunning competitor who is coming on in a very strong fashion. I would suggest to withold any benevolence until the time of the competition. He will bring greetings to the family and treats for the dogs. Next thing you know he has you down two strokes and he hasn't even used any of the strokes he has coming to him.
I can only imagine what a fine putter he would be if he were to dismiss that Rodney Dangerfield specimen he has in his golf bag.

When I win, we'll melt his clubs and make a trophy for me. :laughing9

Hi Jerry! April 18 to 22nd is my Spring Break and only chance

I offered him an even match from the tips, but he was feeling frisky and offered me 12 strokes from the tips. He is a good golf writer and generous with his strokes. A real nice guy, Jerry, like you and Kevin. Hell, OB will probably give me 15.

My RFT motion was really not a karate chop in Minnesota. You guys were great at helping me with my Pivot. With that chopping motion and the forward ball position you and Kevin showed me, I roll my Pivot to the ball and chop it down the middle. I did it with about "oooo" 40 shots in a row, tonight, on the range.

The forward ball position really helped me in my small, novice competition. Knees/hips firing up and down to load/unload the vertical left wrist. It doesn't matter what the course is and who I play, Down, Down, Down, is compression, backspin, and controlled landings on the greens, somewhere. :)

Your suggestion about the hybrids, Jerry, was correct, also. I put 6 or so of the hybrid shots on the greens in regulation! Where I was very lucky, though, unlike Ted and Jeff, was that the greens we putted were Bermuda and rolling at almost a 10. My heavier putter, three ball markings, just had to get the line started for the most part and the ball just kept finding the bottom of the cup or very close to the hole. I actually talked myself out of two correct reads which were otherwise do-able for birdies.

With 15 strokes for my hcp index (13.8), I was 4 strokes better or so, than my club champion. He shot a 78 (index 2.3) gross and my score was 84. He had played the course before! The course had a lot of similar features to White Bear Lake yacht club. We played it shorter but Down is still Down.

Finally, since we saw each other in MN (high to Pat) (Elise has been swamped setting up her room so no recipes yet), I started chipping to get the ball on the green right away to let it roll out. The faster greens held the line very well and the # 3 pp gave those chips enough power to get mostly hole high. The other day, I got up and down for for par or better at least 5 times.

Could Ted and Jeff or Kevin when he heals up, bury me in any type of competition? Easily, at this point. What happens though when I learn to master my driver (which was really why I didn't win going away the other day)? The Down is the great equalizer! If I can get hybrids to stop from 180 yards out, imagine if my drives give me 30 extra yards and I can hit a 7 iron or 8 iron? I know Ted and Jeff would still be hitting a wedge or 9 iron in. Maybe when they're Yoda's age? :crybaby:

Wait a minute, Yoda is Yoda's age and he'd gut me like a fish! :crybaby:

Maybe, when they are your age, Jerry, I'll have a shot!:laughing9

Patrick

Oh, that dreaded driver. Really, Patrick, the driver is the easiest of the lot to operate. You get to put it up on a peg and swing at it with all you can muster. Just remember to trace the line with pp#3 or whichever pp you chose. You had it going well that day at EG. Just like that.
Have a terrific start to your school year.

Just as I suspected. I'll be dragging him around the course every time he poops one off to the right and into a gully. I can hardly wait. :laughing9

I think if I sat on a porcupine that would completely ruin my hands controlled pivot :)

Congrats Jeff, sticking with Weinhart certainly ain't easy.

D,
He never hits it to the right. He sometimes gets a little excited and gets it a bit too far back inside (I suffered from that for years until this stuff). He can really gobsmack it when he is on.
From what I saw when he was here and what I read here, he is coming on very strong. You are going to have your hands full.
By the way, if you ever read Missing Links or it's sequel by Rick Reilly, you might find playing golf with Teach, KevCarter, KevSweeny and self is a lot like living in that book. Good luck.

"When I'm on," my distance is prob. 50% of Ted, Jeff, and Yoda.
 

Once again, congratulations to Ted and Jeff for being very good at their chosen careers. I have started back to school and will start a First Tee program under the guise of geometry, physics, bio-mechanis, phys. ed, and sociology in the Winter! Thanks for the inspiration guys to beat Daryl like a mule. I will be nice to him as I do so and really drive him crazy!

Jerry, I never out drove you!

I'm moving this to my other thread.!


Peace
