I caddied in a club championship for someone, who i wont name because i know one or two people on this forum that know the club that i caddy at and know the people there, on saturday and sunday. The first round was on Friday and the guy fired his caddy then and i got the bag for the next two days. He shot 81 on friday and again on saturday, both not goodscoredfor him since he is a 2.1 handicap. He was the last person to make the cut and clearly did not want to be playing in the final round on sunday. The leaders were at +4 and +6 at the start of the round and he was at +22.

He started fine parring the first 3 holes. On the 4th hole, a long par 4 he hit a great drive down the middle, then a good second shot that kicked badly into a greenside bunker. He hit it clean out of the bunker and over the green onto the downslope on the backside of the other bunker, then over the green on the fringe, then on to 5 feet and missed the putt for double and made triplebogey 7. On the next hole, short par 4 with a stream in front of the green he hit a great drive again, and had 75 yds into the hole. He fatted hit wedge into the stream and made double 6. Parred the 6th hole and then doubled the 7th. He hit a fat shot into the front bunker on a par 3 on the 8th and missed a short putt for bogey, making another double . He parred the 9th making him +8 for the side and +30 for the tournament walked off the course.

In any tournament no matter how you are doing or what chances you have of winning isnt if very bad etiquette and extremely bad sportsmanship to just walk off the course?

I played in a tournament on Friday and a kid walked off after 9 because of slow play.


But I suspect that wasn't the only reason. ;)

Yes it most certainly is. It doesn't matter what you say or how hard you try to justify the action of walking off either to yourself or to those around you, there is NO excuse.

You start it. You finish it.

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
