Snowbank Golf
 

The vertical edge of a snow bank created by a snowblower along the edge of driveway and/or sidewalk is a "superior" impact bag and is renewable. It "Records" swing data, great visual feedback, Many more useful properties. Be creative.

How are ya Bear and whats the C.O.R. of that impact bank of yours these days?

The post impact data aspect is unprecedented ......suggest you copyright "Trackbank" right away. Ooops too late.... Dr Garyyyy ......ah never mind.

Multi-dimensional coolness
 

Bear, I have seen many differing angles and edges as I shovel the snow for my home and the widow's on either side. I have discovered that a Horizontal Hinge with the back of the shovel clears more snow than an Angle Hinge. Some of the ice formations allow for very interesting planes.

Must be Eastern Snow you are using?!
 

So I've gone thru a couple of steel shafts and a couple of graphites - it would seem that the shafts get pretty fragile at minus 20 or worse. Even the shovel handles snap!!!

I'm going to use the impact bag for a few more months and try the impact bank again in May.

Hey KB did you win your flight again last fall? Sandbagger!

Not so good
 

I'm afraid that I had a physical problem and didn't really contend. The swelling in my shoulder resulting from my daily required workout left me with no feel for the clubhead. That is a problem with morning golf for me. It takes a few hours for the swellinf to go down. There is always next year.

So OB, how did your season wind up?

Snow Job
 

...and you can "high light" your results in bright yellow. Just like Bucket did for Mike O.

mechanics to feel : translating vs true fluency, practice vs play
 

I was 0h fer two on title defenses. Had a couple of really goods rounds in tournaments but they were the wrong tournaments.... Unless the member guest suddenly achieves major status. How many M.G.s does Tiger have again? Jack? Mens nights? Mixed two balls?

I think it was the operator more than the machine that was at fault. You know, pilot error. But, Im currently laying the ground work for a season of mass destruction ........hell hath no furry like a lag pressure point scorned kind of stuff. Im going all feel when it counts , gonna play instead of practice when trying to shoot a score if you know what I mean. Sounds obvious but it easier said than done I have discovered.

Im thinking its like a translation of any kind.......you gotta let it go and trust it, think in french instead of translating into french all the time, eh? Well thats the plan anyways. You guys in Alberta dont translate into French much I know but.... how bout petro dollars into T- Bones or something.

I'm with Bear and find there are lessons to be learned from all this snow this year.
I have found that if I bend at the hips a little more and keep my back straighter rather than rounded, I can shovel much longer with less undesired consequence on the back. It even helps stretch the hamstrings a little and you can throw the snow a little higher and further.
I'm thinking this should pay dividends to the golf swing.

Shovel it with the best of them
 

Jerry,
Dig deep and make sure you go Down, Out and Forward to Low Point!
