  2. Actually, that sounds like great advice. You hit the nail on the head about the "Dad Lense"... :) Thank you!
  3. Hi guys - I'm gonna be teaching my son to golf (he's 14) and I'm wondering if there's a particular method for NOT learning the slice. It seems EVERY beginner (especially me when I learned) slices the snot out of the ball. Is there a way to teach someone from the start, so they DON'T slice it? It'd be a lot easier, I think, than trying to fix it after the fact. Yes, I know "Tell him not to come across outside to inside..." Easier said than done. What methods or drills do you recommend? Thanks in advance, Ed
  4. Total liar. Just an outrageous claim. Simply not believable.
  5. Oh most definitely two shots. A nice 125-yard shot in would be perfect. Even needing a birdie (assuming it's a par-5), it'd be the right decision for me. The odds are greater that I can birdie it like than, they they are of me hitting a 240-yard draw over a creek. :(
  6. Well, here's the thing: If you (or anyone for that matter) could figure out WHY they hit a bad shot and just "fix" it, people would be shooting 54 all the time. It's just not gonna happen. Golf is all about making less bad shots than good ones, nothing more. Even Tiger & Jack have said they only hit 5 or 6 shots like they planned any given round. Learn to LESSEN your bad shots (You'll NEVER eliminate them) and plan/play so that bad shots aren't TERRIBLE shots. A bad shot is a 3-wood off the tee that rolls into the light rough. A terrible shot is a driver that slices over the fence out of bounds. The difference? Using the 3-wood off the tee on the 450-yard par 4 because it wasn't realistic to reach the green in two anyway. It's a MENTAL game where your decisions will have a lot more to do with your improvement than "fixing" your swing after a bad shot.
  7. I've never understood people that argued against it. I've read books by Jack, Tiger, and Arnold and EVERY one of them said to always use a Tee off the teebox. And well, that's good enough for me.
  8. In High School, first tee, the club slips out of the guy's hand and flies straight up 40' into a tree. And stays. We still laugh about that.
  9. To quote Niblick, Hell yeah I'd call him on it! (So what happened?)
  10. I'm not sure I even disagree, (but I'm bored, too), so I'll pipe in just for conversation's sake. For starters, his Father was in the Army, not the Marines. Beyond that, why would it be that he is the only former soldier to have a son that wants to golf? or Marine, for that matter? Granted his Father instlled a great sense of discipline, but there are Fathers out there right now who are instilling discipline in their sons, and will be more in the future. Now - all that said, I don't think there will be another like him.
  11. Hi guys - how would you go about teaching someone that is just touching a club for the first time. My 14 yr old son has shown NO interest his whole life, but thankfully now wants to learn. I'm thinking of setting him up with a 7-iron and just having him do little 1/4 to 1/2 swings to make consistent contact with the ball, and get the idea. (after showing him proper grip, etc). Then slowly work up to big swings... Heck I have no idea. Any suggestions?
