Oh heck yes.  Irks me.  I wonder if using a green ball would help. 🙂

... then it's time for the "Gallery/Marshal" rule.  If you're playing a casual round drop a ball where you think your ball ended up.  No cheating... no dropping longer.  Tour pros never, never lose a ball under a leaf when there are galleries, marshals and cameras following their every stroke.  Why should they get that advantage over us?!  Not to mention their courses are always cleared of fall foliage on the ground.  Ours aren't.

P.S. - If you use a green ball you may lose it in the center of the fairway when it's in plain sight.

I must have fallen flat on that quip for it to get past you. I will work on my wit and submit regular progress reports for your approval.

Then again, I might have fallen short in my observational and interpretational skills on that one.  But you can still submit the progress reports.

    • A few months back I purchased the following swing aid on Amazon ($130). It is solidly made of steel and heavy and stable in use. I use it both at the range and at home. Swing Plate Dual PRO by Jamie Brittain - Swing Analyzer Aid - Fits Standard 8mm Alignment Rod Sticks - Teaching Swing Plane Perfector - Indoor/Outdoor Golfing Practice. This winter I set a goal for myself to improve my backswing/downswing to be more consistent and on plane. I had a two way miss with my approach shots this past golf season. I have a hitting set-up in my garage, but I needed something to provide feedback while swinging the club. I came across the Swing Plate while browsing YouTube.   I set it up with the correct angles for my 8 iron. I started out with just the back rod in place, which prevents me from getting too far inside on the backswing. Started out slow and as I got comfortable increased my swing speed. Now I also came across a YouTube video on building a better backswing and getting more width in the backswing and added that to my practice. That video is here:    This video is a bit wordy since you are basically a fly on the wall as Ian gets a lesson. It took a few replays to be able to get the substance of the instruction. It was well worth the effort. Over the last two weeks I have been able to get out on the course and gauge how successful my practice has been. Overall, my consistency with approach shots has improved greatly. Incorporating the added width in my swing has also added a few yards to all my clubs.  What has your off-season training been like?
    • Played Green Knoll today, made three birdies. #10, #14, and #16 knocked off the away composite.
