i remember i saw a ball and the guy drew a penis on it as a marker. He then asked me if there was a ball with a penis on it over there.

I think if I were in his shoes I'd ask if there was a ball with 'an extended 'U' with tails at each end'

I circle the number with a sharpie. Reminds the ball I'm looking for birdies.

I threw my clubs into the lake so it's time to start over...

In my opinion marking your balls is a waste of time

Things I Am Good at in Golf

- Hitting it in the drink
- Finding the rough with my drive
- Staying in the bunker- Hitting grassburners all the way to the hole- Three putting- Posting over par on 18 in only 9 holes- Swinging and missing with an iron

I don't use a Titleist, but I mark my bridgestone ball with red and black underlining right beneath the number, trying to keep it simple, or on different occasions I won't even mark my ball...

Woah...I do the exact same thing.

How can u not care about the rules, rules are rules, its a part of the game

I play for fun, not for score, I'm a 38 handicap, do you think I'm going to fret about following every rule with the current level I'm at?

    • Day 106: did a stack session. 
    • Day 292 - Filmed some swings focusing on the same thing (setup, grip, wrist at the top).
    • Day 182 (31 Oct 24) - Shorter session today.  Worked with the 5i - setup, alignment and overall tempo - hitting into the net.  
    • Thanks! It actually briefly dropped to 5.8 at some point in July, but it felt like it was too rich for my blood every moment of the whole two weeks I held the 'level' for me to sustain it. The term 'impostor syndrome' comes to mind.. :-)) I have certainly done better than I have in the previous years to stay the course in how and what I have practiced but yes, it's a high probability that I'm leaving a lot on the table.    
    • Dang... in the realm of things that probably don't matter all that much, golf slumps are the worst. Yes definitely consult a pro ASAP. Get back to hitting it solid again. Hitting the sweet spot solves a lot of problems. For me it's always the latter. My confidence grows as I hit more and more solid shots, which are the result of continuing to improve my swing thru better concepts, better practice, etc.  Yea, this for sure. And also, without a professional there to let you know you "did it better this time" it can be unnecessarily frustrating and confounding working alone. It's not that you can't work alone; clearly, you can. But during rough patches, it's always smart to consult professionals. Lessons are an amazing place to take new concepts and turn them into feels that you are confident will work. It's still really cool you consider this your best ever season. Congrats on hitting 7.8 this year!
