I HAVE TO SAY I LOVE THE GAME OF GOLF AND THE LAST FEW YEARS HAVE BECOME ADDICTED TO IT (AS MUCH AS MY SONS BALL SCHEDULE WILL LET ME) BUT I WENT OUT WITH A COUPLE FRIENDS THAT SHOOT AROUND THE MID 90'S SATURDAY AND PLAYED A ROUND. STARTED OFF ON THE BACK 9 AND MADE PAR THEN BOGEY (THAT SHOULDA BEEN PAR) THEN CAME #12 PAR 3 SLIGHTLY UPHILL ELEVATED GREEN (MY GPS ON MY PHONE SD 168YDS) AND I HAVE TO ADMITT THIS HOLE IS NOT BEEN VERY GOOD TO ME IN THE PAST.... SO ANYWAY I APPROACHED THE BALL WITH A 6 IRON STRUCK IT GOOD STRAIGHT TO THE FLAG STICK JUST A LITTLE LEFT OF IT, IT HIT THE FRONT OF THE GREEN AND KICKED EVER SO SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT.... MY BUDDY LOOKED AT ME AND SAID THAT PROBABLY WENT IN THE HOLE, I LAUGHED. THEY HIT WE DROVE TO THE TOP OF THE GREEN AND I COULDNT SEE MY BALL THERE BALLS WAS LONG AND THE OTHER WAS TO THE LEFT OF THE GREEN. I SAID TO THEM SURELY IT DIDNT HAVE THAT MUCH SPEED TO ROLL OF THE GREEN.... HE SD "MAN I BET U ACED IT" I WENT INTO A SLOW TROT TO THE CUP... AND TO MY DISBELIEF IT WAS IN THE CUP!!!!!! I COULDNT BELIEVE IT.... BCSE I HAVE NEVER CAME AS CLOSE TO 10 FT FROM THE CUP ON A PAR 3. I HAVE TO SAY WAS SUPER EXCITED. BY NO MEANS DID I MEAN TO I JUST TRY TO GET CLOSE. HAHA. FOUR GUYS ON ANOTHER TEE BOX SAW IT GO IN BCSE WHEN WE WAS GETTING CLOSE TO THE GREEN ONE WAS HOLDING THE "TOUCHDOWN" SIGN UP WITH HIS HANDS. I THOUGHT HE WAS SAYING I WAS THAT CLOSE.I AM NOT THE TYPE GOLFER THAT HITS CONSISTENT AND WILL PROB NEVER DO IT AGAIN!!!!! BTW I SHOT THE BEST SCORE I HAVE EVER PLAYED (88) AND SHOULDA BEEN A 86.... BUT I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE SCORE AND THE SHOT!!!! THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE MY EXCITMENT FROM SATURDAY THAT CARRIED OVER THE WEEKEND......

Nice story and congrats on the Ace. By the way how much did the round of drinks cost you after the game? You did take your friends out for a drink after didn't you?

It ain't bragging if you can do it.

      How Much do You Exercise?

      By 4zim ·

      I’ve recently started KBs too and really enjoy it. I have one day of armour building complex and one day of a mobility routine. Adding in a speed training day too.    which routines do you do @Elmer

      Again, I’m not an expert so take it with a grain of salt My question is whether laying back even further becomes too conservative and that strategy is suboptimal as a result? Essentially what’s the cost of guaranteed longer second shot vs the x% risk for hitting the bunker? I think the optimal way to answer the question is looking at strokes gained, in consideration of the hazards and penalties, and picking the strategy that maximizes SG off the tee. I’ve seen some apps that do this but I’m not sure how accurate they are.   And again, asking all this so I can learn what I should be doing in these situations rather than questioning your approach Bill. I would give an example of the course I’m joining this year where I plan to aim at the bunker, but I don’t want to take over your swing thread any further!

      What @DeadMan said. From the satellite it looks like there's tall grass to the right, long of the fairway post-dog-leg. But left it just looks like regular rough all the way to the neighboring tee boxes. If that's true I'm aiming left edge of the green and bombs away every time, hoping for a 30-70 yard up and down opportunity.

      What's the case against blasting a driver at the green? I'm guessing it puts the penalty area/fescue too much into play, but if that's just standard rough around the green, there would be a good case for it. If it's not driver, then I agree with your approach. The one thing I would add is to shade your aim towards the bunkers vs. center of the fairway. Hitting out of a bunker is (marginally) better than a penalty drop.

      Yes, if you are gonna layup, then layup. No need to nickle and dime a few extra yards and bring bunker back into play.
