"I was talking to AI quite a bit last night trying to go through some different physics principles that makes the club turn over, having some alpha torque and gamma torque put in there. I was like, what makes that possibly do that, and was talking about just grip pressure and tension."
I mean you might think this is crazy... but damn... I feel like I could find myself in this same rabbit hole one day. 😂
⚽️ I got a good chuckle out of this thread. For all you soccer folks out there (footballers) sorry.
Speed Golf Update:
I have 52 days until I am playing in the U.S. Speed Golf Open.
Which means I have to run 4 or 5 miles and play golf at the same time.
My goal is 75 or under in less than 60 minutes
The score I have no problem with it's just the time thing 😂. I don't run at all.
I started on May 1st with my first run.
Today I ran my longest run yet AND at my best pace yet.
I'm feeling way better about things.
This might sound ridiculous but my biggest breakthrough has been physically changing how I run, which sounds crazy.
(Sorry if I sound like an idiot to all the runners out there)
I realized I was never using my glutes to propel myself forward, and I was landing heel-to-toe.
Been working with my friend who is a PT, Chris Mundt (we did a video with him last year) and the difference has been huge.
Next up is actually trying to play speed golf for the first time. I'm headed to Kentucky end of the month to learn from a couple legends of the sport. We'll report on that here towards the end of June
SHOUT OUT: to Garmin for sponsoring this series. GI can't recommend getting a Garmin watch enough! The best thing I've used for fitness tracking and on the golf course. (and it's on sale right now)
Keith Mitchell goes IN-DEPTH on his Practice Round
This video and concept was AWESOME. Great job PGA Tour and Mizuno. This is how you do content + brand integration.
Just a chill not overly edited 9 holes with Keith Mitchell... I mean he honestly like explained his whole mindset and what he's working on.
"I never putt par putts in practice rounds. Never want to make a bogey if I don't have to. But we will putt out the birdie putts."
Idk how I feel about this. Love the idea of never making a bogey. But also you never putt any short putts. What do you think?
"When a little bit of grass gets in between the grooves and the ball, it takes some spin off of it, but maintains the ball speed... it goes 10, 15, sometimes even 20 yards farther than normal."
"Never a bad thing in practice rounds to miss a bunch of greens so you can practice your short game, see how the ball is reacting, and work on your chipping."
Have a great week! -Cordie
