You'll always be my inspiration TO, you've taught me so much. You're an inspiration to everyone. Love you. #TeamTO twitter.com/gopherbaseball…

His other drive into the water is what happens when your face isn’t square and the path isn’t right and you mishit.

Face is square, wind was left to right held it from over drawing. Incredible club head speed and it went 10 yards shorter than his average. This all checks out. Yes it’s a mis hit but where it hits on the face isn’t the only thing that matters.

@JStewGolf @HochsteinDesign Tough to beat those views that’s for sure

@JakeStevenson38 @HochsteinDesign There’s a better one down the street at Olympic Club.

Golden Gate Park Golf Best par 3 course in the country?

Back up to a 4.8. Really bad day of putting, ball striking is coming along. Gotta learn how to read grain of greens better. As crazy as it seems with 11.1 and 7.9 diff we are improving. Putts were on line just horrible pace. Hit 5/9 GIR on 9 hole round. 3 3putts…. On we go

Hole #5 - Monarch Bay Par 5, 514 Yards

This is far from perfect but posture is better and was informed that I’ve been gripping the putter wrong. Also suppose to match your forearm angle with the shaft of the putter. So it feels like I’m standing right above the ball and have the putter straight up and down. 📈📈📈

Index down to a 4.4. Huge momentum going into my next round which will knock off a 4.0 differential so gotta bring it next round. Pre shot routine is everything now. That paired with some new putting tips change everything playing 9 holes under par is a huge confidence booster.

76 today 41/35 After a frustrating start to the round. I forced myself to just only focus on my pre shot routine. Which I didn’t have until the 11th hole when I had to wait on tee box. The last 8 holes were the best 8 holes of focus I’ve ever had. Felt good over every shot.

Views from Monarch Bay today

10 pars. 6 DOUBLES. Gotta find a way to keep the ball in play. When I try to swing smooth (I really just swing my arms ahead of lower half) I yank hook drives. Course was tight and I paid for it with. The rest of the game is there. Have to eliminate drops and re tees.

Views from Stanford’s Course

That’s certainly not gonna help. Just an ugly showing. Hate the course tbh plays harder than a 72.3 rating in my opinion. Just a bogey fest, found a bunch of bad spots didn’t hit enough greens. Onto the next.

Row The Boat

True golf junkie day today. 6:51 AM tee time at Crystal Springs with sunrise at 7:06 so I can make my 12 noon tee time at Stanford. 36 holes incoming. Gonna turn the brain off and go play today. Two scores incoming on the index. See if we can’t get that thing below 5.0.

Another good day. PW and 4 iron DTL and 7 iron front view. Was hitting the ball consistently with a slight fade. Feel like my take away was more straight back and less inside. Want to try to get higher in the back swing so my downswing has more space to come down in to out.

We are getting there. Still a bit of a shift forward with the head on the downswing but the ball contact is improving quickly. Finally feel like I can go play with this swing and just play and not have to think about the swing so hard. Grip changes everything

Crazy how many compensations your body will make when you set it up incorrectly with grip or first move

The grip change has led to quick improvement. Was given the cue for the grip to feel like you’re wringing out a towel. This with simplified first move rotating around the spine without any head movement has lead to a couple days of consistency in ball striking.

The responses to this tweet are incredible stuff 😂
