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?

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.

      My Swing (Retoid)

      By retoid · Posted

      This is my second year playing golf, I started last season but have always struggled with a slice. I've tried multiple things to try and fix the slice: Closing the face. Rotating my right hand out or clockwise in the grip. Keeping the club head low in my back swing. Focusing on a straight swing path. Trying the straighter arms like Bryson D. (as seen in the videos above) Trying to not let me hips get too far ahead of my down swing. Trying to keep my shoulders down until after I've made contact with the ball. Etc. I recently changed to the straighter arms which has helped me adjust away from such a drastic slice. So it has helped a bit. Before that, I was trying to keep the club head low in the back swing and this was the most helpful in correcting the slice, however it drastically removed power and distance in the strikes and would even sometimes result in a hook. About a couple months ago I had a single lesson with my driver and learned some helpful things, but have since struggled to perform what I learned well. One of the things in the lesson was to keep my shoulder down more in the the down swing until after making contact with the ball. This would help the slice a bit, sometimes drawing the ball. To even it out, I was instructed to rotate my hips a bit earlier in the down swing. What I have noticed however with the earlier hip rotation is that it's really hurting my lower back a lot. Since backing off on that it's helped not injure my low back as much. I believe my main issue might possibly be the swing path, being a Pull Slice.   See above, was mid typing when you posted. I have never watched Moe Norman's swing to be honest. I have never measure my hip rotation, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on that after you read about my hip rotation / back pain issue.

      Two questions… Are you trying to swing like Moe Norman? What's your hip turn like? Have you ever measured it?

      What are the best drills to practice awareness for club face control? This one came to mind after remembering a bit from the latest release of the podcast. I also think that I have poor club face to path awareness.
