I spent a couple of decades applying for Masters tickets.  Eventually got tired of the endless rejections.

 

Erik, I have a photo I took with a very nice Nikon, of the 9th hole at Pinehurst #2.  Been using it off and on for my PC desktop since I took it, just after the restoration.  Nowadays it seems to me that most folks bring a "camera" with them to tournaments - their phones.  When I see them watching the tournament through a phone, I think, "Isn't the actual tournament better than your phone?"

Anyone getting their rejection emails yet for the 2022 Masters?  I have a few friends that have, but I have not.

They told me I have a better chance of getting kicked by a snake then being allowed to set foot on Augusta National. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

For a practice round a camera can be great, especially if you have a small bookbag or something so you can stow it away sometimes too.

The issue with a camera is you can miss a lot of good live action trying to frame a shot for the camera.

I’ve never once gone through our wedding pics from 16 years ago. I feel like it would be the same sort of thing…maybe, maybe not 

Off-topic, but my wife would love a chance to see our wedding photos.  Problem is our photographer got hospitalized and he sent his newly hired "Apprentice" who spent too much time at the bar.  Several bad photos, some staged shots never captured, we think he forgot to put film in the camera (Yes, I said FILM, I've been married 32 years).

There's not a lot of "good live action" on M-W. And most people are just taking photos of the golf course itself.

Does anyone remember that photo from about 10 years ago that showed a guy walking across Washington Road with his beginner set of golf clubs on a  buggy because he had secured a ticket for one of the practice rounds? It was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. I've tried to find it but can't.

I don't remember this.  He thought the ticket meant he could play a practice round?

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Day 8: 12/17/2024 Okay I took my new PPJ swing thought to the range today. I wasn't sure I was quite ready to do so, but I'm glad I did.  When I got it right it was good... really good. When I got it wrong it was a major fail. I hit lots of really ugly ones. But I didn't let that deter me. I stayed committed and focused on the PPJ and I avoided any temptation to go back to what I was doing before just so that I could "look" better at the range. I'm pretty excited about what I saw when I got it right.  I hit the 6 iron mostly (nearly all block work today). I also hit about 6 balls each with the PW, 8I, 5W and Driver. Those had varying degrees of success. I did crack one drive that let me feel and see what the changes will look like once I get fully trained.  Anyway, I'm going to go back to the mirror work for a couple of more days before bringing it back to the range. I do feel like if I can get this right my swing will improve a lot. So I think its worth the effort. I liked the way it looked on GEARs when I get it right, and I like the results I got at the range when I got it right. Now the goal is to work towards getting it right more often.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      I'm sure you are correct.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By Ty_Webb ·

      So I think it's that they can't just bend the shaft or hosel to get it to a new lie angle. They adjust that and it changes the weighting, so they have to then adjust all the weights to get it balanced again. I get the impression that it's a bit of an iterative process and they do it all in the US, so they're paying US labor costs to build it and make it work how it's supposed to. Whether you believe in the tech or not, I think that's a true statement.

      Ah, the old EE in the backswing move. Chest going back and staying down doesn't help.

      Extremely outward path with a very closed club face. Maybe unless you have a stupidly weak grip, like right hand way over top, I don't think the grip is necessary highly correlated to this.
