At 12, he's not the biggest kid. But I don't think he has much speed left that he's not tapping into.
LIV 2.0 is Bryson and a few other guys standing outside TGL events, hoping to get asked in.
🚨👀⛳️ JUST IN — ESPN is reporting that 2-time major Champion, Bryson DeChambeau ‘remains committed and is working diligently behind the scenes to bring LIV 2.0 to fruition.’ @BrysonLegion
As of today, the league is believed to have formally secured 4 player commitments: Richard Bland, Cameron Tringale, Ben Campbell & Brendan Steele. A commitment deadline has been set for this Sunday.
Will you be watching LIV in 2027?

On a deload week (I cut the weight of all my lifts in half). But figured it would be a good time to try out deficit deadlifts, which I'll be incorporating to get stronger at breaking the ground with my heavy deadlifts.

Can pick from any of the three model options in the photos.

Not even on our website yet, if that gets you going.
Runs through Friday 10/23 at 7:00 pm Central. Winner will be selected by 10:00 am Central on 10/24.
Back to the lab.
From face on. I still see elements of Johnny Miller, Bubba Watson, and Justin Thomas in his swing, in a blend that he's made his own.
Last Friday, I slightly pulled a muscle in my lower front left ribcage area doing weighted pull ups.
This week, highs in the 60s every day. Could be the last nice week of the year, before the course closes for the six month UP winter.
Just tried a gentle swing: nope.
Sadness.

Golf swing feels are subjective, but they’re also temporary.
Eventually, a feel that once worked will lose its effectiveness. That doesn’t mean you need to completely change your swing goals or ideas.
It simply means that you need a new way to connect to the same objective. The goal stays the same. The feel evolves.
Great players constantly adapt their feels to keep progressing. Because no feel lasts forever!
Unexpected benefit of low bar back squats: they demand a good amount of shoulder flexion—also a good thing in the golf swing.

Most people start with the gym and then build the home gym.
There’s definitely a trade off on equipment availability vs equipment variety that the gym has.
If you have the space, money, and motivation to do the home gym, it’s absolutely worth it.
Built a rack to start lifting in my basement this year. Never been a gym guy.
I'll be honest: I couldn't imagine working out in a gym, having to adjust my planned workout to deal with other people. I'm a little too non-clinical OCD to have to constantly call audibles on my plan.
From the pitch-and-putt round with my kids on Monday. Kirke shot 9 straight pars, was annoyed with himself for not making any putts, and beat me by a stroke.
Just played a tiny pitch and putt: holes range from 40-90 yards. Recorded it in @ArccosGolf, and my index dropped a stroke. Feel like that's a little bit of dirty data.

I have a 20 handicap golf buddy.
He’s managed to eliminate one side of the golf course with his chronic slice.
He’s a 20 handicap.
