and loses the Dunhill with an 8 on the last hole. UNBELIEVABLE! When was the last time do you think Ernie ever made an 8 on a par 5, much less on the last hole of a tournament.

That was one of the most shocking things I've ever seen in golf...

Don't think I ever have in my life. Ernie carries himself so care free on the course, doesn't show a bit of stress. I bet even after losing and dropping 2 in the drink he was still smiling.

Dude, that is a heartbreaker!

Even Phil's and Monty's collapses at last year's U.S. Open don't compare to what Els did today. I think there is a serious mental hurdle going on for him right now, it might have something to do with all the Tiger beatdown's and Phil beating him on the last hole at the '04 Masters. Something isn't quite right, that's for sure.

Yeah, I'm sure he's thrilled!

It was a very upsetting sight for sure,and I hope that his confidence level does not hit rock bottom like so many before him.As far as E.E. taking on T.W. any time soon,he better make sure he can first take on Joe Blow.I don't think he will let today get to him.He is WAY to good!

When was the last time do you think Ernie ever made an 8 on a par 5, much less on the last hole of a tournament.

I believe he made a 9 in the final round of the Masters a few years ago, on hole 13. He drove the ball into the left woods, his second was knock down into Rae's Creek, he finally escaped the woods, and it all went down from there...

He dropped out of contention for the tournament on that hole.

What's in my bag:

Driver: R7 CGB Max, regular shaft
4-wood and 7-wood: :: Launcher, regular shafts
4-iron to A-wedge: X-20, regular steel shafts56- and 60-degree wedge: forged, stiff steel shafts, vintage finish, MD groovesPutter: Circa '62, No. 7, steel shaft, 35"Ball: NXT Tour or ProV1(x)...

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By billchao ·

      My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.

      Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.

      No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death.

      Spark League at Severna Park Golf

      By Paloma ·

      Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area?

      I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
