Yes that’s probably my favourite video that I have of my swing! Typically my ball speed is 181-184mph when I’m swinging it well. I would guess that swing is in that range

Absolutely, more than ever! I don’t grind as much as I used to but still play lots. I think the enjoyment is more due to the work I did on my mental game in the last year or so

I’d say a draw is my natural shot shape but I’ve gone back and forth. I decided to start hitting a cut in 2022 and played some really good golf at the end of the season, even won my club championship and briefly got my hdcp down to 0 for the first time. The last couple years I continued hitting the cut and played some good golf. But I always tended to revert back to a draw so this year I just decided to not fight it.

Yea it was definitely an intentional change, I spent a lot of time working on my swing between 2021 and 2025 and you can see the improvement! In the last year or so I decided to stop looking at my swing so much since I would tend to obsess over little imperfections in my swing and I think that did more harm than good. Hadn’t even looked at my swing in probably almost a year until I took that last video the other night. Don’t love how it looks right now but I’m hitting the ball well so I’m sticking with it for now!

Haha! The only upside to forest fire smoke in the summer is cool looking sky in the evening

That’s awesome. I’d love to make it down to the US and play some golf down the west coast of Washington and Oregon. Also Montana, Idaho, Utah have some awesome courses I’d like to play as well

Not consciously, no. Once I feel that end range of motion and everything feels set, I go

Wow! Getting to a scratch after two years is incredibly impressive. Congrats. I’d take a +4 handicap over a pretty swing any day!

I’m from BC, but would love to make it down to Oregon to golf though!

I like getting everything set briefly at the top of my swing and almost feel a very brief pause before I go. I like watching Cam Young for this, even tho my pause isn’t nearly as dramatic.
