I cheap out on greens fees/carts. I don't walk because it's fun or healthy. I walk because it's cheap. I go for twilight rates, military discounts, and coupons. Anything in the $10 to $18 range after said discounts is good, and over $20 to walk is unacceptable. I have a caveat that the course has to be good. A local club had a course where I can ride for $22 on a weekend, but the greens don't have any grass; unacceptable when the sweet course on the GD 100 Courses You Can Play list down the street is cheaper to walk.

Somtimes I treat myself to the $60+ round, but it has to be a special occasion with friends.

Next year perhaps I'll get a membership. I can make that into the ultimate cheapout if I play 200 times.


Oh yeah, and I've never payed retail for a club.

Ben Hogan is my swing coach.

Balls. I have never bought a ball in my life. I shot my best round with a Pinnacle, so I trade all the balls I find for them.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.
