Living in Chicago, my golf seasons are far more volatile than I’d wish. The entire Midwest battles it. Just a week ago, days after the summer solstice, I played at a top-tier course in Wisconsin that was changing par-4s into temporary par-3s. Why? Because the river that cuts through the property was flooding into the fairways. This is June! It should be warm and dry, right? Not always.

Sequencing is a key element of a high-level swing. If you can learn to sequence your swing correctly, you’ll be well on your way to consistent strikes and efficient power. So, what exactly is sequencing? In simple terms, it’s the way in which each component of your body moves during the swing. When you make a swing, the different parts of your body (hips, torso, arms, etc.) move at different times. But in order to swing efficiently, it’s essential they move in the correct order.

Why? Many amateurs “cast” the clubhead down into the ball. It’s a term that comes from its resemblance to the action required to cast a fishing line into the water. The surest way to hit crappy irons is to start the downswing with this casting motion of the hands and arms. To compress the ball and squeeze it off the turf, you need your lower body to lead the way.

Over 50 years have passed since the introduction of the Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System (MAFFS), a self-contained unit used for aerial firefighting for installation and use on Lockheed C-130 Hercules medium-lift tactical transport aircraft of the United States Air Force (USAF) and Air National Guard (USANG). MAFFS started a revolution in aerial firefighting which for over five decades has played an important role in fighting wildfires not just in the United States but in Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. As of January 2024, over 20 out of 26 MAFFS I/IIs in 10 different countries were still operational and in use for firefighting missions.
