  2. That joke in the video where the robot saids "losing to a robot is a bit like losing to Martin Kaymer" .... Can explain that joke ? Lol is it his voice or play or I have no idea
  3. [quote name="David in FL" url="/t/74282/caddying-for-first-time-at-tournament-what-should-i-expect#post_985111"] Need a little more info. What kind of tournament? Who are you caddying for? Completely different if it's a fun/charity event and you're carrying for a buddy than if it's the State Amateur, or carrying for a Pro in a PGA Tour ProAm. [/quote] It's a charity $10,000 per foursome thing for some children's hospital. I know golf management so I'd still like to be able to help out
  4. I'm caddying at this chairty rent at Colonial in Fort Worth, Tx and it'll be my first time caddying. I've already googled the basics what should a caddy do but what exactly should I really expect / do? Thanks.
  5. Perfect. Never thought about just giving myself a clean fairway lie with a tee and hitting down normally. Makes so much more sense . Thanks I'll try it out and post an update. [quote name="David in FL" url="/t/73453/par-3-basic-troubles#post_968124"] If it works for you, that's great, but this game is hard and I'd recommend that anyone take every little advantage the rules give you. Allowing you to have a perfect lie on the teebox by using a tee is one such advantage.....especially given that most of us don't play courses where even the teeing area is pristine all the time. [/quote] [quote name="carpediem4300" url="/t/73453/par-3-basic-troubles#post_968119"]i dont bother with a tee, used to but no matter how far i push it down i cant hit down on it properly, must be psychological but alot of my buddies suffer the same, i just find a really good lie on the tee box and place it there, and play as a normal fairway to green shot,,...........i find it to be the same sort of lie as placing a tee all the way into the ground, it just removes the thought of it being tee'd up my buddies followed suite and none of us tee on a par3 now, one guy went from regularly missing every par 3 green, to hitting them all the time now,.......sometimes i should keep the advice to myself... [/quote] [quote name="David in FL" url="/t/73453/par-3-basic-troubles#post_967093"]I tee it just high enough that it gives me what I'd consider a perfect lie in the fairway. Maybe up 1/8 inch or so, no more. Then play my normal shot for the club I'm using. [/quote]
  6. I can't for the life of me figure out how to tee off a par 3.... I try putting the tee almost all the way down to give it some height but I never know if I'm suppose to hit down onit the EXACT same way as a ball laying in a fairway or if I'm supposed to swing it so the face is level to the ball since it's heighted a little bit. All I've been doing is giving up and just hitting it from off the ground the entire time and while I guess it works I know teeing it off would be a better thing to do. How do I do it exactly ? Thanks
  7. I guess my other problem is when I hit a bad shank or I mishit the ball I'll just want to smack everyone on the range with my 7 so I just end up putting a ball wherever the hell I see an open space. Patience Patience Patience Patience
  8. I always end up noticing I have alot of room to draw into a right sloping fairway and I have alot of room for error. At least thats just probably at the specific courses that I play at. I think room for error would probably be the biggest one.
  9. I really tried setting the ball up right behind the divots but for some reason no matter what I do it gets frustrating because the ball will just fall in the divot and i'll just get super annoyed. I know I'm a terrible person.
  10. What advantages do you guys think we have over righty designed courses ?
  11. I'm 6"0 and 23 years old and after swinging a while I've noticed i have random back pain on the bottom sometimes. It's like a pinching pain that I end up getting from arching my back wayy too much in the follow through. I'm guessing this is because of some bad habit like my weight is transferring but my body is still back I'm not sure . I'm definitely not trying to help lift the ball. Any help would be appreciated thanks.
  12. Lol absolutely I've never seen anybody describe the divots like that in facti work at my mini I'm always on the range during downtime and I never see anybody hit their divots like I should be doing. Guess I know now!
