The best is yet to come, Coach‼️
Walking on the ground for an entire year watching some of the best players in the world play…here are some of my biggest takeaways:
1) AimPoint is here to stay. A majority of the world’s best players are using the system
2) One of the most difficult shots in the game is when the hole is cut on the right side of the green with trouble right and wind blowing right to left. (Also same when hole is cut on left side of green with trouble left and left to right wind). I hardly ever see players riding the wind in that scenario with iron shots. More often than not they are holding shots into crosswinds to make it fly straighter.
3) When laying up with a long iron off of a teebox.. For the most part players stick with their normal trajectory of a 3 iron vs trying to hit the Tiger “stinger”.
4) The best wedge players I watch are able to take more club and bring the flight down. Taking spin off the golf ball and getting the 1 bounce and stop vs full ripped wedges and a ton of spin.
5) Golf is a very frustrating game and even the world’s have trouble containing their tempers. The best players do a great job of resetting on the next shot by verbalizing with their caddie on what they are trying to accomplish.
6) You have to be able to hit it long off the tee but more importantly you have to have a “change up” pitch as well. Even the longest drivers of the ball have a go-to shot whether that is teeing the ball down or aiming up the left and hitting a cut. Very few players hit the same driver shot on every single hole especially for the longer players.
7) You can start a stopwatch with most Tour players from when they start their routines to when they finish and it will be within seconds just about every time.
I’m sure there are others that I will think of but this should spark some thought for any golfer trying to improve their golf game.
Got to chat with Travis Jankowski on his various contributions to this club; on and off the field.
Take a listen to the ultimate utility guy for the Rangers!

The best teams I've ever been on -- in athletics and business -- shared a common trait.
Yes, they had talent.
Yes, they worked hard.
Yes, they were driven.
But that's not what made them special.
What did?
They lead themselves.
They didn't rely on the coach or the boss for leadership.
They didn't need an authority to hold them accountable.
They didn't need to be motivated.
They built on the tone the leader set and then took ownership.
It usually started with one person. One person deciding they wanted to be great.
That rubbed off on a second person, then a third, then a fourth ...
Eventually, that became contagious.
If you didn't want to be excellent, you were the outsider. You were left behind.
I believe all excellent teams -- regardless of domain -- operate this way.
The "leader" can establish the standard.
But for the team to become special, ultimately leadership must come from within.
You can tell the potential of a team by determining the source of its leadership.
Does it come from the top?
Or does it come from within?
Yes, both are important.
But no team can be great if it doesn't have the latter.
Moved up the leaderboard each round and finished third in our season-opening event! T7 finish for Tucker!
We also worked our way into history.
