Makes perfect sense. I am looking to switch up the gameplan a little bit and lean on driver a bit more next season, so maybe this is worth a further ponder.
. I’ve been thinking about my goals for 2024, and will be posting those up as soon as I get some things finalized.
Nice. You are gonna love it!!!View attachment 9224056
Some chilly garage grinding last night with the King Tours, focused on tempo and adding in the G-Snap for that wrist set. Couple updates this week - some new clubs in the bag, I’m excited about the iron shootout, and some house chipping with the Zipcores has been a lot of fun. Pulled the trigger on The Stack (shoutout to my guy @ttucliffhanger) and I’m stoked to get that started and see if I can make some gains
Just need to get a radar on order and start working on some
!
. Feeling pretty confident with this club set-up if nothing else changes though!
.
Ohhh… I didn’t realize you were doing the stack system for speed training. I’ve been kicking around the idea of going back to speed training this winter. It not something I can do during golf season because I’ve found that speed training and playing just wreaks havoc on my body.
Yessir! I’ve been following that thread with interest this season but had some hesitation about trying it as I didn’t want it to mess around with the path work I was doing. Got enough confidence in the work I’ve put in that it’s time to see if I can put some premium in the tank.
), and these are my goals for 2024. I appreciate all you that have checked in, given feedback and advice, and all the support. 
I like the way you have these goals set out as measurables. I’m going to copy some of this as I set mine for this upcoming year and push.A couple of days early of the 2-year mark of starting this thread, and it’s been quite a journey so far. I’ve done a lot of thinking over the past few weeks (a bunch of time on a rowing machine gives you some time to reflect

I’m very excited about the potential for this driver set-up with the new shaft. Really liking the feel of this Graphite Design, and I could see some gains off the tee box happening over the winter.

Saw some early positives out of the new wedges on Friday night, and I’ve been working hard on some new short game feels courtesy of Rob. Putting is still a work in progress, I feel like I’m finding a bit of a comfort zone with the L.A.B., and am hoping the winter work will pay off. The SMS Pros will battle it out with the King Tours over the winter, and I’ll be going for an iron fitting in January to see the new Mizuno offerings
As we head into December and finish off 2023, I’m taking the next month to work on some fitness goals (I’ll have some thoughts in a couple weeks on this), and finalizing my goals for 2024 and what I’m working towards. A potential change for me is coming….
My god man that is a beast session on a rower nice job!Been a busy couple of weeks with work and getting ready for the holidays so I haven’t had much time for much more than working toward my two goals for December as I mentioned in a previous post. I got challenged to do a workout every day in December, and that tied in nicely with something I’d been training for, which was a marathon row. I’ve run quite a few of them training for ultras, but I’d never done one on the rower before. It was an interesting experience, I haven’t done a long grind like that for quite a while, but I’m happy to check the box and continue the December fitness challenge with day #17 tomorrow. Unfortunately the monitor on my rower timed out when I went to fill my water bottle, so I didn’t get one workout with the full 42,195

Thank you sir! I had some fun with training for that one, it was a different animal than any other endurance thing I’ve ever done. Now that I’m back in the gym I’ve noticed my pull movements feel super strong, and push movements…not so much. Go figure
.I’ll be following along with interest to see what kind of yardage you pick up, and that’s a good thought about using an alignment aid with it to try to keep some bad technique from creeping in. I’ve found so far the more I focus on that wrist hinge at the top, and bringing the club down on the inside, the faster I can swing. Driver has been the most difficult club for me (besides fairways) to convince myself to swing from the inside, and this feels like it’s going to help with that.
Love the goals my guy. I’ve had similar goals the past 2 years and as of last week I didn’t know if I wanted to have goals other than fun with others in 24. You are making me want to set some of my own again this year.A couple of days early of the 2-year mark of starting this thread, and it’s been quite a journey so far.

To be fair, you’ve had a couple of pretty awesome seasons on your own path, and maybe taking some time to focus on nothing but having fun might take some pressure off and be just what you need on the road to where you want to be.Love the goals my guy. I’ve had similar goals the past 2 years and as of last week I didn’t know if I wanted to have goals other than fun with others in 24. You are making me want to set some of my own again this year.
Couple of questions regarding yours:
I’ve LOVED following your thread. Seeing your progress over the past 2 years has been a real treat! Proud of you brother.
- What does improving wedges inside 130 mean to you in a measurable sense? Will being inside 20, 10, 5 foot X percentage of time be the measure? How will you define success at the end of 2024?
- You’ve already met the speed goal!! Awesome. What’s the new driver goal? X % of fairways hit seems like a good one now that you’ve got the speed dial in the dispersion.
- I must of missed it but what is the OP 36 for Bear?
- Love the engage and post reviews on THP that’s something Inhad in my goals last year and I ended up getting a lot out of it and feel closer to the community and more knowledgeable.
.
I love this so much. This is almost exactly how my grandfather taught me how to play the game when I was around 5 to 6 years old. God, I wish I would’ve never quit. Would’ve made my road to a comeback unnecessary.
. The challenge has been issued already to continue this into January, and work out every day for the next month as well, so the grind continues . Let’s get it.
