I am going to be playing in 3 major amateur tournaments. They are U.S. Pub Linx, U.S. Amateur, and the Ohio Amateur. As some of you know I have quit smoking and am about to start P90x, a rigorous workout routine, that will help not only with my strength, but more importantly my flexibility and cardio. Are any of you going to be playing in these tournaments and if so have you played in them in the past and how have you done?

I also am going to be playing in 3 or 4 tournaments. I am playing in the Ohio Am, US Mid Am, Ohio Publinx, and maybe the US Publinx. The US Publinx depends on the Ohio Am qualifier, because the US Publinx and the Ohio Am take place in the same week in July. I have been away from competitive golf for a couple years now. I finished up playing college golf then went into the real world and haven't played amatuer tourneys in a while. I have rededicated myself and hope to get back to my old form. I have only played in the Ohio Amatuer, back in 2002, and I finished 35th.

If you are looking for more tournaments you should check out the Ohio Publinx. I am on the Board of Directors for the OPGA. It is a good tourney and is usually won by college golfers and top amatuers in Ohio. If you want details just let me know or you can go to www.opga.us .

Just played in the Ohio Amateur on Tuesday and qualified with a 75 on a par 70. I finished bogey bogey bogey, but kept it together. There were 12 golfer's tied at 75 and there was only 1 spot left with 3 alternate spots. I birdied the first hole and watched as everyone else made par or worse. It was a great feeling to keep it together and get that last spot. Now it's on to the championship in July.

First off, best of luck to you. I have never played competitively, but would love to if I can start playing at a competitive level. What courses are you going to be playing on?

I played on Tuesday out at Rattlesnake Ridge. Shot 74 and qualified. Can't wait until Moraine! It is a really nice course. I tried to give shots away during my round. The wheels started to come off in the middle of my round, but kept it together and ended up making 15 pars, a bogey, a birdie, and a double bogey to shoot the 74 (+2).

Moraine is just up the road. I haven't played there, but I hear it is VERY nice. A lot of old money there.

Congrats on qualifying guys!! I am about to start playing in tournaments later this year. This will be my first time as well. This year I am working on my game and I am entering the tournaments just for the experience. That way next year I will know what is going on when I have the game to compete.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Never practiced golf when I was young and the only lesson ever taken was a driver lesson. I feel like I'm improving every year. However, the numbers don't support my feeling about improving. I usually drop to 12-13 during the summer while playing the familiar courses around home and then go on golf trips in the fall to new courses and increase to end the year between 15-17. Been a similar story for a number of years now but hey, it's the best thing there is in life so not too bothered but reaching 9.9 is the objective every year. Maybe a few lessons and practice could help me achieve it since I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, just playing and never practice.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?
