This happened about ten minutes ago. World no.1 Stacy Lewis topped her 3-wood on the par-5 13th hole during the 3rd round of the Evian Championship. Lol. Golf is hard.

I appreciated your commentary and the funny little laugh. Golf is indeed hard. Delightfully, simply, addictively difficult.

Why do they call golf "golf"?  Because all the other four letter words were taken.

Swing looks flattish, very shallow 3 wood, looks as if too much upper body before lower body = top

Tempo can be an issue in the results.

Well the ball was above her feet a bit there. That sort of lie you are more concerned with chunking a ball. So I would say a slight thin is more common.

I agree, her swing is shallow. It almost looks like she dropped kicked the ball a bit there. Not sure, they never showed a face on view.

Oh well it happens, move on.

Good on noticing the lie ... I did not, and the lie above her feet helps explains the shallow swing. Wonder if she moved the ball a tad back or stood up to account for the lie ... but the shoulders look like they got into the swing a little too soon...

I did that at least 4X over 2 rounds this week ... know that move well. :-$

She definitely didn't "come over it". If you filmed Stacy hitting a solid 3 wood and compared it to this one, not going to see any differences.

Happens to the best of us.

I did it in the last SoCal outing from a perfect lie in the fairway. It happens, and can tend to happen more with a fairway wood.

I just assumed that's how it looked when you hit a 3 wood from the fairway...

Bah, mine are worse. Ball takes a "hovercraft" trajectory. At least her ball got some air. :-D

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

What I find more interesting is @JetFan1983 keeps a copy of @iacas 's Lowest Score Wins on the coffee table in the TV room for quick reference while watching golf.

That's the difference between tour pros and average joes. With pros can see it happen once a year With average joes see at least once per round or once every 3-4 rounds but definitely more than once a year

Wow, her swing plane looks really flat!  And her club looks really long in proportion to her height.  And her ball looks more like an oval than a circle...

But seriously, that Jason Day chunked drive is the best thing I've seen all day.

I seem to have this happen if the ball is too far forward in my stance.  It's like the club bottoms out and then clips the ball on the way up.

Or maybe my understanding of topping is wrong.  I always figured topping meant coming down too steep on the ball and sort of hammering it into the ground.

      Future Pro: Miles Russell Age 15

      And like Matt said, and I have hinted at… it's ONE ROUND. Because you have to get hot. Better players than him failed to get through. And… Peaked too soon, perhaps. He could also get injured, get surpassed, lose interest or lose his game… Again, if I trusted y'all to uphold the bet, and if the bet wasn't basically a 15-year proposition… I'd bet y'all. The odds are against him, and heavily so.

      He shot -5 with a bogey on the last hole. Those Monday Q events are seriously tough to get through. Lots of very very good players play in those, including normally a fair few tour players who've lost their cards, including past winners. It is a small sample size, but he also just broke one of Tiger's records (youngest ever to be ranked one in AJGA if memory serves). He's the best 15 year old in the world at the moment. He's also pretty small and skinny - if he grows and fills out a bit and gets stronger, he could be a serious force to be reckoned with. He may of course also go off the boil and struggle or his swing may not last his growth or something, so it's not like he's odds on to make it or anything like that. I think it will be interesting to see how he progresses and if (big if granted) he progresses well, then he will be quite the prospect.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By Ty_Webb ·

      At a basic level, you can take those strokes gained numbers and if you know what the baseline strokes to hole out is from each distance, you can figure out how many strokes on average you will take to hole out from any given spot on the golf course. Then you can take that shot zone thing from shotscope and put it down there and see what the average is for each club and each target you choose. That's not exactly trivial to do though even with a computer, so the strategy guides (like LSW) use rules of thumb to make those decisions easier for you to make on the fly. Most of the time you'll come up with the optimal strategy and on the odd occasion when you don't, the strategy you come up with will be pretty darn close to optimal. If you're anything like me, then you'll probably wind up being a little too conservative with both club choice and target. Fear of penalty strokes can make you play suboptimally. Basically it's a bad idea to base your strategy on a shot that might pop up less than 1 in 20 times. If you happen to hit that shot, then today just isn't your day, but the 19 times you don't, you'll be in that much better of a spot.

      That sounds like a small sample size issue. What if the PGA tour event he was trying to get into just happened to fit his game perfectly? Also, he could just be playing hot right now. I’ll put this in the wait-and-see category.

      I've used a construction laser for years. Far less expensive than the PuttAim laser.
