Just something my buddies and I were discussing over a couple beers. If golf were like baseball where you got to pick your own walk up music when you come to the tee, what would your song be? I always joke that mine would be Coming Undone by Korn.

Theme song from "What's Happening?" TV show.

I once read that Bobby Jones, "the squire himself," once said that you should hear a song in your head to help establish a good rhythm.  Then my addled brain immediately thought of this and I can't stop.

I've always thought "Going the Distance" by Cake would be great walk up music.

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Britney Spears have songs that are very appropriate:

(You Drive Me) Crazy

[Hit Me] Baby One More Time

On a second thought, maybe the second one is bad omen...

When I think of walk up music it has to be where the opening riff of the song is instantly recognized, profound and high energy. So The Blue Danube would not work even though it is one of the most beautiful pieces ever written. So for classical pieces, Beethoven’s 5th intro or The William Tell Overture would work.

Same for Rock. It has to grab the listener. Lots of songs by AC/DC have great power intros with my two favs being Back in Black and Highway to Hell. When my iPod turns on in my car, it always starts with the first song, AC/DC’s Shoot to Thrill, because they are alphabetically first on the list and it was the first song loaded. So I may pick that one too. 
 

Rock has so many songs that have great power intros, their are too many to name.

Shoot To Thrill is one of my favorites by those guys. I think T.N.T. Would be another good one.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      I had two events the past two days. Yesterday I was playing a course blind. Hit it solid. Hit 9/14 fairways, 12/18 greens, 34 putts. Many of those putts were the result of balls that were close-ish to the hole when they landed, but wound up a long way away once they'd finished rolling (backwards mainly). Then today, hit 11/13 fairways, 11/18 greens, 37 putts, and shot 80. 8 over par and it wasn't particularly pretty. My big problem today was my pitching. I was inside 100 yards of the hole and off the green on 9 occasions.  1st - drive to about 75 yards, fanned a 58 degree short and right. On the green, but a good 40 feet away and good two putt from there (so took 3) 2nd - laid up to a bunker and it's narrow past it, so had 165 in, missed it right with an 8 iron. Wet rough, chip from about 5 yards off the green and the club snagged. It got on the green, but only temporarily. Overcorrected a bit on the next one and hit it a bit firm and it rolled out to about 35 feet. Putt didn't break and it ran on a bit and I missed the one back (greens were fast and a little bumpy, which didn't help, but doesn't excuse either). (took 5 to get down from close to the green) 4th - had about 95 from the right rough, hit it on the green and two putts (3) 5th - 90 from the fairway, tugged it and it got a firm bounce, chipped on and hit what I thought was a decent chip, but it ran out down the hill and two putts from 20 feet (4) 7th - 65 from the fairway, significant upslope and hit it a bit hard, ran long left against the collar. Tried to blade a PW, but it got under a bit so didn't advance it anything like far enough. Made a good two putt from there (4) 11th - 63 from the fairway, hit a squirrelly pitch on the green and two putts (3) 12th - 75 from the semi-rough, caught it a bit clean and it wound up on the back edge. Putting down a tier and it ran 8 feet past (that was actually a really good putt and couldn't have done any better I don't think) and missed that (4) 13th - 55 from the fairway, overcorrected and hit the big ball before the small ball. Then made a stellar up and down from 25 yards short to an elevated green with a putter (3) 15th - down in three from a greenside bunker (3) That was it. The other 9 holes I hit it on the green from outside 100 yards. So on those 9 occasions, I took 32 shots to get in the hole. 3.56 average. Terrible. Reason I'm posting this in here is to see if anyone has any suggestions for how to work on my contact with pitch shots. I don't have access to a grass range. Only mats and it's easy off a mat. Partly I think my problem is I've hit it off mats so much this winter that I've lost my judgement on where the ball is versus the ground because of the leeway granted. Open to ideas. I also suspect that under pressure I stand a bit closer to it and then get steep and hit down on it and it puts me in a bad place, but I can't seem to get myself to not do that.
