Maybe I used a poor choice of words in explaining this and got some people confused.

No, it seems to be just me.

Actually after talking with the guy on the phone, he told me that he will make me a "checklist" on things to practice and work on. But I will also use your suggestion too...that is a very good idea!

Indeed, that's a good thing. Mine provided a video re-cap of the lesson, but I still took a notebook and wrote everything down immediately afterwards: what he wanted to see, what drill I was using to check it, etc.

Very cool. Only other bit of advice I might have is that you tell the guy you're committing to x lessons so he knows how long he has to work with you. Hopefully x > 1. Let us know how your lesson goes, and good luck in your scramble.

He does video and I am not sure yet if I will get a copy of that or not. I really hope I do. I have already committed to 3 lessons and told him that I wanted to work with him throughout the year to reach my goal. It will definitely be more than 1!

I will post results in my "mid-handicapper to low-handicapper" thread. It now looks like the weather will probably cancel the scramble too....Thanks for the help and sorry about the confusion.

Well, we finished the scramble with a kind of disappointing -9. It was pouring down rain all day so I guess it wasn't that bad. The good news is we were -6 on the par 5s. I stuck a 3W from 245 and 260 and both were about 8ft to the pin. We made both of those putts. I really played well but the wind and rain were really killing my distance. My irons were all right as well...not off the green right, but probably 5-10 yards of where I was aiming. I usually hit a little draw with my irons but today they were all going dead straight. My putting felt better than it actually was. My speed was dead on but it seemed like my putts would not break the same as my partners'....it was weird. I think it was because I hit my putts a little more aggressively. Anyway, it was fun....even though we got SOAKED!!

      Water in Bunker

      By DaveP043 ·

      If he had to hit over the bunker, I'm guessing he was further from the hole, although "in front of" implies the opposite.  If that's right, that may have been the right spot for penalty relief, a single PS.

      Water in Bunker

      By iacas ·

      Did you look up any Rules before posting here? What did you learn or find? You don't get to drop (or place) closer to the hole. 16.1(c) deals with relief for Abnormal Course Conditions in bunkers. You're granted free relief for: Since you say the bunker was basically entirely full of water, you likely wouldn't get complete relief, so for free (no penalty strokes), you are entitled to "maximum available" relief. If there's a spot in the back of the bunker away from the hole where the water is the shallowest, then you can drop there. If you don't like any of those options, you can take a penalty stroke and drop out of the bunker, behind it: You seem to have played from a wrong place (nearer to the hole) and thus likely should be penalized two strokes. It doesn't sound like a serious breach, at least.

      New Golf Grips. Talk to Me

      By collegefbfan ·

      I feel that the stock grips on my Wilson D9's are a little thin.  The grips on my other clubs (purchased used online and sold by me a couple months ago) were Golf Pride and they looked like the wrapped version.  I will say they felt like they had a little more cushion.  I don't have particularly large hands.  Did the grips on my other clubs have more tape or was just a better feeling softer grip?  I have no idea.  Well, any brands you would recommend that have a softer feel?

      Water in Bunker

      By anaveragehacker ·

      So this situation happened. A bunker in front of the green was full of water. My ball was underwater in the very back of the bunker furthest from the green. There was a small patch on the front upslope of the bunker nearest the green that theoretically could have been used to hit from if the ball was placed.  A drop would just roll back into the water. And this was the only part of the bunker you might be able to get a stance without standing in water. So my question is do you hit from that small front slope even though you would have to move the ball 6-7 closer to the pin? Or do you drop outside the bunker making sure you are no closer to the pin? I dropped in front of the bunker, so I had to chip over the whole bunker. Was this the right call? Also could I have moved it latterly outside the bunker, although this wouldn’t have made much difference as my ball was pretty much as far back in the bunker as you could be away from the hole.
