Now try bouncing it off the ground and keeping it short of the ladies tees.

I was at a little par 3 course yesterday. We're waiting on a hole to let a group of two behind us play through, and the tee box we're waiting on is right by a pond. My buddy tried to skip the ball across the pond, to no avail, so I said I could skip it all the way across. I took a few practice swings and he said it wasn't looking good; just then I hit a perfect low 4iron that skipped at least 15 times all the way across the pond. In your face. That was the coolest trick shot I've ever pulled off.

Wow.  I guess I shouldn't be so hard on myself after all?  Especially when the #2 player in the world does that!?

But for the life of me... I can't rid myself of the furor and sense of embarrassment that consumes me when I shank a wedge.  That feeling of the shank, has to be worse than topping a drive.  You know the feeling, right?  The one where the only way to rid yourself of further on course embarrassment, would be to snap your wedge over your knee - and go OJ Simpson on your own foot to declare yourself unfit for further play?

Yes, but since I don't hover around the heel as much as you, my embarrassing shot (which you can attest to) is usually to lay the sod over the ball and hit 40 yard 7-irons.  Equally frustrating.

We always goofed around and did this in high school. We'd set it up by talking about how everyone should watch us MASH this next ball, how it was going to fly so far, blah blah blah. Then we'd take this BIG HUGE swing, a massive windup... and try to barely touch the ball so it fell off the tee.

It's tougher to do than you'd think. :)

This is like a pool shark who purposely misses by fractions - The Color of Money.

I still remember the day on a 625+ par 5, every one of my foursome topped our drives. Long holes do that to you.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

      I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
