There is a setting in your profile to increase the power. The default for everyone is five out of ten. I moved my power up to seven and it's relatively close to what my two doppler radar shows. It's about 7 to 8 yards of carry off, but I can deal with that. I could move it up to an eight, but then my half shot wedges may go 140 yards. Uggg. I personally would rather have more distance accurate tee shots than wedge shots so this works for me.

There is still work to be done, and it's great to have access to the indoor practice bays all winter long so that I can work on my swing. Watching myself on video really helps me to see and understand what I need to improve. Great tools to work with at GolfTec.

I've been training with Amy twice a week for the past year, both in person and virtually. When I…read morestarted, I was pre-diabetic, and suffering from plantar fasciitis and osteoarthritis in my knees that made it painful for me to participate in the sports and activities I love. Since then, I've dropped over 50 pounds, lost eight inches around the waist, and gotten back to hiking and pickle ball and golfing without pain. When I went for my annual physical a few months ago, it was the first time in fifteen years that the results came back clean - every result was in the normal range. Cholesterol and blood sugars were way down. I hired Amy as my trainer because she would come to my home, and train with me in the garage on the equipment I own. Dumbbells, kettlebells, TRX, box jump, wall sits, etc. Every workout is different. She is patient, quick to offer modifications when something's not right, and keeps a close eye on form to ensure I perform the moves correctly. She knows how to push, too. I never knew there were so many variations of plank exercises, squats and lunges. She's often recognized before I have that I am capable of doing far more than I realize, and it's worked. She's turned me into a lover of Bulgarian split squats! I'm healthier, stronger and more fit than I've been in decades, and I credit Amy. She's even helped with diet and nutrition, and turned me onto healthier foods, and when and how to use protein shakes maximum effect. In other words, I'm a big fan, and wholeheartedly recommend her training services for anyone who is serious about making health and fitness a bigger part of their lives.

In 2022, I realized that I, 73, should be working on my own strength and conditioning in order to assist him as well as maintaining my own quality of life. For four years I have been working with Amy twice a week and Andy continues working with her once a week. We began with in-home visits but Covid forced us to virtual sessions via FaceTime. FaceTime has proven to be the perfect situation, especially since her recent move to Minneapolis. Her relocation went seamlessly for us and we continue as if she still lives in Pleasanton. Amy tasks us with personally designed workouts every session, making certain we're performing the moves correctly for maximum benefit, and offers valuable advice on diet and nutrition. She continues to research new and challenging exercises for us, pushing us to continually improve our strength, conditioning, balance and endurance. Her help has enabled us to continue to travel, enjoy our grandchildren and just feel better. We highly recommend our friend and trainer extraordinaire to anyone looking for a guide to better health.

Not sure if they provide clubs if you don't have them. They showed us how to use the system and set us up for a course. We opted to play a European course, St Andrew Old Course. I was in the long grass often. The system was easy to use. Hint, if you want to hit from forward tees, you have to set that up before you start the game. I was playing from the guys tees which put me at a huge disadvantage. You can bring in your own beers and snacks if you choose. They do have water but no other refreshments. We had a great time. Our two hours went fast. Will definitely be back.

The warmers kept everyone comfortable and the misty rain was barely noticeable. Our bay host was friendly and attentive. Absolutely no complaints. The drinks were festive and tasty. They weren't strong, they weren't weak. They were what you would want as to not impair you while you are standing on an open ledge swinging a club. The Grilled Cheese Dippers with bacon and tomato soup are an ultimate comfort food. Don't miss ordering them as they are limited time only. The Funday Faves Platter was a feast for our party of four. The sliders are picky eater friendly (there is mayo on them) and of a generous size and there are SIX of them. We already knew we loved the Mac and cheese bites. The pretzel bits need a dip in something, but are as soft and warm as you'd expect. The chips and salsa were average, but still a favorite. My only complaint about the platter is about half of our chips were too small to dip. The Winter Cosmo was orange forward, but nice holiday twist. It comes in a plastic globe "ornament" which was a little silly and the sprig of rosemary didn't add much as it was sad and dead looking. This is a limited time seasonal item. The Patrón #20 mixed drink has an exclusive Topgolf reposado tequila as its main spirit along with pineapple and mango juice and rimmed with black sea salt. It has a thicker juicy viscosity and is on the sweeter side. If you like tequila sunrise, you will like this tropical "cousin." Tuesdays are one of the "half off game play" days (Mondays-Thursdays). Five stars! Highly recommend!
