Becoming Par | T3 @ GTA AM TOUR – Brantford GC&C


Best weather conditions this year by far, minus the heavy winds. Today, at Brantford Golf & Country Club, my friend Cyril Ma cadied for me. Although, we had both never played this course before — with a carefully marked pin sheet, GolfShot GPS, Bushnell Range Finder, and the course layout card … we managed.

Couple of things I’ve learned are Read entire story »

Who are you really buying from?

Someone sent me this diagram illustrating the majority of the brands that are on your local supermarket shelves. What’s more amazing than the fact that only about 10 corporations run probably Read entire story »

Becoming Par | B Flight – T2 @ Glen Abbey


After a cold and disappointing performance at the Coppinwood event, I played the Golf Town National Amateur series the following day. This is my first GTNAS event, and I was pretty excited to place in second place shooting an 86 in the B Flight — earned a $270 GT gift card ($160 registration came with a $10 lunch voucher, cart, range, etc.)

The GTNAS events are always Read entire story »

Becoming Par | Wind, Rain & Cold @ Coppinwood

Coppinwood_2012082

Today, I had great company with me at the GTA AM Tour Event @ Coppinwood. If you haven’t played this course before, it is beautiful and it probably has one of the best practice facility I’ve been to.

Unfortunately mother nature didn’t favour us today as it was cold, rainy, and windy. 3 things you probably don’t want to have together. I did not win this event, but that doesn’t matter. I was just overall not thrilled with my performance. I know I could of done better, and I will do better next time.

The Pitch

I found the full teaser episode of an upcoming TV series: The Pitch. It’s inspiring, at the same time, shows you some of the truth in what we go through each and everyday.

Becoming Par | The Path

Great news, I’m down to weighing 151 lbs, but my strength has grown tremendously. I can bench: 195lbs, squat: 230lbs, 12 full clean chin ups, and dead lift about 240lbs (just started with dead lift). This new program LPS has me on is a 4 time a week program consisting of squats 3 of the 4 workout days. As for golf, I have been spending a lot of time putting in my condo, and at Lakeshore Links. Results have been positive, and I feel as I am getting the hang of this new swing/concept.

From the last lesson, Nick gave me homework of: Read entire story »

Becoming Bar | The Downswing

I have to admit, with workout training 3-5 days a week, and a lot of events in the new years, I barely had time to practice. Also, to keep me motivated, I’ve joined an actual competition with my friends to see who can get abs before May 1st, 2012. About 15 of us, are all competing to see who can lose the most fat to weight percentage and get abs. Woman (leaner stomache), Men (abs). So this has made me cut down on my diet. I’ve started on a strict Paleo diet as recommended by my trainer. I’ll post results.

From the last lesson, Nick gave me homework of:

HOMEWORK: #1 Practice the 3 things in the last lesson.
RESULTS: I haven’t been able to practice as much, but I am starting to feel more comfortable with the swing. So I would say, I didn’t do this, but will continue to. Read entire story »

Becoming Par | Backswing Takeaway and Hinge

From the last lesson, Nick gave me homework of:

HOMEWORK: #1 Practice to take away, get used to it. Video tape myself, and make what’s uncomfortable, comfortable because it is right.
RESULTS: Success.

HOMEWORK: #2 Use an 8 iron, and get my ball speed up above 110mph+. Ideally, he wants me at 115. Not club head speed, but ball speed, that’s the only thing he cares about… for now. Read entire story »

Becoming Par | Off Season Game Plan + Lesson

The great thing about living in Canada is that you can actually spend time to train for golf during the off-season. During the season, I would play round after round, and not really focused on trying to work on anything, but in the winter time — you have no choice, I ain’t playing with a winter jacket on the all-season golf courses. So here’s my game plan (which isn’t far off from what I’ve said before) Read entire story »
