Friday evening (after Gulbis had completed only 27 holes), Jeff and I emphatically said "yes" she would win her first tournament this weekend. It's in the podcast towards the end...

As I watch the final round, she leads by three on the seventh green with a makeable birdie putt.

It's allllways lookin good when we're talking Natalie Gulbis

Now she's tied with a short hitter. Mini-choke on her approach shot to the 17th. She should have a small advantage on the 18th against Mi Hyun Kim.

Gulbis seemed, just a little, to move into "protection" mode instead of "attack" mode like she started the day.

Definitely seems like she thought she had it in the bag -- can't forget that you have two par 5 finishing holes though, anything can happen. I'm really surprised Kim missed that putt on 18, hopefully Gulbis can pull it out, would be a boost for the LPGA if she got a W.

Jeff and I were wrong.

She had a wedge in her hand too many times and failed to birdie on the last several holes (and the playoff holes too).

I feel bad for her that she didn't get the win but she had plenty of chances to close it out. I feel even worse for her that she has to put up with her dad and his crap after this.

      I would recommend spending some time at the range and film your swing. You can post it in the Member Swings thread. At the range, you can figure out how to control the driver a bit more. We can offer some pointers once you post in the Member Swings section.

      With the H4 or the watch, you tag the club before hitting by putting the tag next to the device. The tag is on the club butt end. After a round, you don’t really think about it too much. You just do it. I don’t know how far you are from @phillyk, but he may know an instructor in your area.

      So the biggest issue right now is marrying the hands down with an athletic turn. I can get stuck not turning. Things get interesting from there.

      Playing With Irons

      By John of Art ·

      Hi everybody!  I am new to the golf game. I have taken some lessons and got fitted for clubs a couple of months ago. I usually score between 110-120 for 18 holes.  I bought a Stealth driver last year and have been hitting consistently with it 210-230 yds on the simulator. But when I take it out on the course, every drive is a severe slice!  I played 18 holes yesterday at the club where I belong. I removed the driver from my bag and used the 5 iron to drive with. I hit straight 16 out of 18 drives, 180 - 200 yds. I used the 5i - putter for the rest of my game.  I ended the day with a 92. Question: Does it make sense for me to continue playing with irons only until I get further along in my game before I reintroduce the Driver and woods again? Or should I continue to struggle with the Driver and woods and shoot in the 100’s again? To me it’s a no brainer, but for those more advanced I am interested to get feedback.
