Hey GolfCask members! In Episode 8 of Breaking 70: Racing Father Time, I’m diving deep into skill-based putting training—because technique alone won’t get you to your scoring goals!

✅ Injury Update: Feeling great! Last PT session is Friday, and I’ll finally start working my way back into full swings after three months.

✅ Today’s Focus: Putting Skills
We’re breaking down five key putting skills that will make you a more consistent putter:
1️⃣ Face Control – Understanding how face angle impacts start direction
2️⃣ Impact Control – Striking the ball on the toe, heel, or center
3️⃣ Vertical Strike Control – Hitting the ball high, low, or center on the face
4️⃣ Speed Control – Learning to control putt speed intentionally
5️⃣ Green Reading – (Coming soon when we move outdoors!)

The key to improvement? Skill-based training. Instead of chasing a perfect technique, train your ability to control these five skills and adapt on the course. You’ll start fixing putts in real-time rather than blaming yourself!

🎯 Drills included to improve face and impact control—perfect for indoor practice on a putting mat or carpet.

🚀 Next Week: Wrapping up putting with orientation drills and mindset tips, plus insights from Dr. Mike Gravelos on the mental game.

Welcome to Greens and Grain. Where the fairways are smooth the pores are strong, and the stories are always worth sharing…

Welcome to today's episode where we journey back into the early sixteen hundreds deep in the untamed wilderness of colonial Virginia. In a land of promise and peril where survival was uncertain and conflict loomed. One man saw beyond this mere existence. He saw opportunity, not just in tobacco or trade but in something that would shape the future of America in ways, He could scarcely imagine. He was a pioneer an innovator and a visionary working with the land and his resources to craft something entirely new.

Through trial and error he took a simple staple in the world corn, and transformed it into a spirit that would become defining the element of the American culture. But his story, like so many of his time was cut short by brutal realities of colonial life. So pour yourself a glass, settle in and join us as we uncover the forgotten legacy of a man who worklaid the foundation for an industry that still thrives today. This is the story of the father of American whiskey. Let's imagine the dense Virginia wilderness in the early sixteen hundreds was both promised and filled with peril.

To those who arrived on the shores it offered opportunity. Land detained crops to grow in industry to build. But it also held dangers not the least say which was a fragile balance between settlers and the indigenous people. Among those who braved this untamed frontier was a man of vision, one who saw potential beyond tobacco. Beyond the hard labor of survival.

He was a man of faith an investor, and a landholder, but he was also something else an inventor. While others in the struggling Jamestown settlement focused on traditional European agriculture and trade He turned his attention to something new corn, the stable green of the Indigenous tribes, which was abundant. And with the knowledge and uh

fermentation and distillation…brought from the old world, he saw an opportunity in an era where bear and wine boiled in the heat and fresh water could not always be trusted Spirit provided a stable long lasting alternative. His work was methodical, using crude but effective stills. He experimented on, and with the fermentation and distilling processes, refining his technique through trial and error He first began to produce a simple corn based beer, learning from the indigenous methods of fermentation. Native people had long been making a fermented beverage, from corn, something called Chicha. In other parts of the Americas, but chewing the kernels to release the natural enzymes before allowing the liquid to ferment.

He recognized the potential for this process but sought to improve upon it using European brewing techniques. Mashing and fermenting the corn into a more structured beer. But he didn't stop at beer. With his knowledge of distillation he took the fermented corn mash and ran it through the still separating the alcohol, and refining it into something new an American spirit. That was something stronger smoother, and longer lasting.

In Episode 5 of Breaking Seventy and GolfCask, Brian Bailey shares an update on his injury and the adjustments to the content schedule. February is all about putting, and March will focus on short game, leading up to full coaching sessions in April.

This episode dives deep into putter grip types, their pros and cons, and how they influence stroke mechanics. Brian covers conventional, cross-handed, claw, pencil, and the newer neutral grip—breaking down how each impacts face control and stroke consistency. He also explains why grip setup is crucial for consistency and how understanding these fundamentals can help you shave strokes off your game.

Make sure to test different grips on the putting green and find what works best for you! Stay tuned for future episodes where we’ll build on setup and grip to perfect putting motion and control.
