The next video will feature another golf buddy as caddy. It will be interesting to compare the two when I put that together.

Great to see Mike. It had been at least 18 months, if not closer to two years. And he hadn't been on the course with me for even longer!

Hard to get the drone time, but its always fun.

Thanks! Seems like it was a good sign of things to come.

I'm going to show my bias and say Forest Hills, but it is a treat when I can get on at Cedar Creek or LCCC too. When I first moved here, I had a membership to Forest Hills and could basically just show up and walk on the course. There was always room. Now, the course is basically full every day, and if I don't have my tee time set at the beginning of the day for that evening, I can't get on. I guess I prefer that over them raising the price, but I miss my 18 holes in 2:45 or 9 holes in 1:20 kind of rounds too.

@@theupanddown72 Nice, yeah I would have to agree with you on the cedar creek and LCC I actually got a job and work at the LCC just for the golf and practice facilities lol. I would say forest is up there too but I'm just not a big fan of the back 9 there for some reason. I've always been a big fan of Drugans too except for when the greens are hard as a rock in the summer sometimes lol.

If I want a reality check, or to remember I'm not actually any good at this game, I'll go to Drugans. There's nothing particularly hard about holes 3,4, and 5, but I think I average +6 or worse through that stretch. The practice area at the country club is fantastic. Great facility overall, but I can't justify a membership at Forest Hills, much less 15 more minutes out of my way for significantly more money. Maybe if the kids get really into Tennis it will make a little more sense.

@@theupanddown72 hahahaha yeah drugans can be tough at times. I think that at the end of the day no matter where you are that golf is golf and its hard to beat a nice day out on the course and I think that every course in the area is pretty nice and fun to play

I totally forgot I have one of those...Good call. I think the last time I used that was a few years ago.

Stop hating

I've tried a handful of different formats, and some of them take a ton of time to produce. Since I played up on the white tees for this round, I didn't have yardage graphics ready to go. I'd love to put out something higher quality, but the family and job have to come first. My goal for now is to just get content out on a regular basis, and bring production values up and get better as the channel grows.

Its a fair comment. I'm always looking to improve and feedback helps that.

Long game was pretty good, need to get better with the flat stick if I'm going to score.

I have tried that technique myself, just not out loud. 😂

Yeah, it's been a game-changer. Typical first round of the year is in the 90s and it's a handful of trips to the range before I feel like I have a swing. I feel like I have a much better feel for my yardages than I used to, and expect to hit it quite a bit straighter. I guess we will see!

Thanks!! There were some shots I'd like to have had video of in this round, but the camera wasn't happy at sunny and 98F. Wondering if the MediaMod case contributed to the issue a bit.

While putting together this video, I was surprised by how many bad shots I could have in a round and still post in the 70s. And I can't help but look at it and say that I left 3 putts out there in the first 7 holes.....

2014-15 are "the good old days"

Thank you! I'm hoping to travel more for golf yet this year, but we'll see what happens.

Yeah, based out of La Crosse, WI. From here we have driven to Whistling Straits for a PGA, Erin Hills for a US Open, and Hazeltine for a Ryder Cup. Sand Valley is less than 2 hours drive, and there's a US Senior Open at SentryWorld in Stephen's Point, WI this year. The long winters finally got to me enough that I've started building up a simulator in the garage to keep swinging through the snowy months.

@theupanddown72 Nice! A lot of public courses in the Capital Region are dumping millions into their courses. I thought about putting a simulator in as well. Your swing looks pretty good, too. I can tell you've worked on it.

Yeah, the Covid boom is real, and the courses are either reinvesting or increasing their profits. The swing has come a long way, thanks for noticing.

I've got a Gopro mounted on a Smallrig mount clamped to the pushcart, and running on an anker battery. Basically the pushcart becomes a rolling tripod.

Pinkey Man, I'm guessing 5 years of abuse is about all its good for.

Eric Domagala There's a "stroke" tool in Adobe Premiere. I've got a little practice and with a lot of zoom, I can do a trace in 3-5 minutes with the right backdrop.

+Logan Lacaze Thanks! Glad you like it!
