Does a fishing license come with inside the ropes access or vice versa? @kyleporterns.bsky.social

Further following up here:

Range session this evening, you can see my sequence here coming inside and then over the top. Working on getting that yellow backswing line higher and flatter, closer to the green. Especially important on shorter swings (partial wedges) with less time to reroute it.

Not risking any jinxes so just suggesting to follow along the last two holes for yourselves, the golf is good. Cheers.

For unjinxable coverage: I've seen at least five different brands of these wire protector things. I find this strange and otherwise don't know what to make of it. That is all.

Modeled well by ZB here: the three times your hands are near your spine angle (backswing in yellow, downswing in green, through in red), the shaft should be in a pretty similar spot. Getting this to line up well means you're staying on plane and don't need extra movement/manipulation.

A nasty 35yd bunker shot dead into the wind. Coverted a 12 footer for par. One hell of a save.

A big enough swing to need some lower body movement, but still great low point control. The more you look at the details, the more impressive these guys are.

Greyson Sigg and Taylor Montgomery have similar length off the tee, but Sigg's in the top quartile of driving accuracy while Montgomery is near the bottom.

Look how little Sigg's hips move forward relative to Montgomery's (yellow lines are legs at address).

After EIGHT playoff holes, we've got our last spot filled.

18 holes on Thursday, which probably needed -6 to get through. 18 today at -5. Eight more holes after that. It is so, so hard to get a spot in a Tour event.

Two midrange looks firmly in the danger zone. Have to think one of these will fall.
November 18, 2024 at 11:20 PM
One of the better 3-footers. On to seven!

Another episode of "things that look way cooler than our phone cameras makes it appear"

Two really good looks on our fifth playoff holes after three pars first time through

3-for-1 under the lights

And if we need another, back to this par 3, this time under the lights!

Marcus Byrd is through. Seems like an enjoyable phone call. The rest play on.
