Hello all my name is mason asher and I live in indiana my home course turkey run golf club. I have memberships for 4 different courses. My average is in the low eighty's. Recently I have been shooting badly. My problem is I cannot control my irons at all. I will have a good drive but then on my approaches I either pull left or push it right. I would like to hear your advice and I also can make a video for you. And then I also have some questions. Where can I find a good quality set of clubs for a low price? what are some putting tips and I can do at my house to steady my putter. What is the best golf grip to use? Baseball overlap interlock?

I think the mods should merge every thread on The Sand Trap into this one.

1. There is something wrong with your swing.  Fix that and you'll hit your irons better.

2. Craigslist

3. Hit putts in your bedroom

4. Interlocking

Can you provide a picture of this grip?

What is the problem with punctuation and grammar with kids these days??? Here's my take - my 15 yr old has horrible punctuation, spelling, and grammar, and yet he pulled a solid B in language/arts (what we used to call "English class") this semester...

You know what he's trying to say, so perhaps just answer the question or don't post.

I'd respond, but this thread is a joke topic, so...

Believe me, I try and try, but he feels that it is of no import, alas.  (Also, he is actually me step son, so I started with damaged goods...)

I hope this was being "ironic", seeing the spelling and punctuation errors.

    • I think I like this hole.  It is a clear "Risk-Reward" choice.  Since most of the shots in your cone cleared the bunkers I would say they are a minor risk and not a big issue.  Playing the aggressive line may give you 70ish yards in from what looks to be playable rough while conservative play is 120ish from fairway.  I know you said 70 vs 120 is minor for you but how does the approach angle in impact your results?  I figure both strategies are playing for Birdie since holing out from either is mostly luck. Looking at your proximity hole I think it says @ 50 feet when hitting from the fairway from 100-150 and 40 feet if hitting 50-100 from the rough.  Neither of those is an easy birdie putt.   I like the approach angle from the rough between the bunkers & the adjacent tees over the angle from @ 120 in the fairway but I really do not like the idea of hitting onto the adjacent tee boxes and that may impact my confidence with making the shot.  Also, too far left may be a worse approach angle then from the fairway short of the bunkers. For me this may come down to how confident do I feel when I reach that tee box.  If I am stroking it well off the tee leading up to the hole I would try for over the bunkers and the better angle in but if I am struggling that day I would likely opt for the fairway to take more bad stuff out of play.
