Hi Gang,
Well, I finally got something from a TV golf aid program that has helped. Watching the golf fix and listening to MB about the lag in the swing. I've always hit my driver about 220 with some extra yards in the roll but have incorporated the lag to create additional swing speed and WOW!!!! what a difference. Played yesterday and have increased to 285-290. At the age of 61 I think that that's not too bad. I'd suggest this for everyone who wants more distance. What a difference.

How exactly did you build the extra lag?

Hi Guys,
I concentrated on keeping my hands in front of the club head until the last mili secocond. It feels somewhat like a whip action at the bottom of the swing which accellerates the club head thru the hitting zone at contact. You have to do it slowly and watch what is happenning at the bottom and then try it at full speed. It takes no more effort but tempo is key to success. Kinda hard to describe in words but you can probably call up past episodes of the Golf Fix and watch MB explain it. I don't think it was more than a couple of weeks ago. Good Luck with this. The best way to describe what it looks like would be to hold your hands at the bottom of the swing at about the center of your stance with the shaft of the club still at almost 90* still on its way down.

Hey $2, I've never had anyone ask me to play a $2 Nassau and have always wondered what the hell it is. A little help here for your ignorant friend.

A Nassau is a common bet, I assume we play it the way most people do. We bet on match play, $2 for the front nine, $2 for the back nine, and $2 for the overall. Sometimes we play first 6 holes, second 6 holes, third six holes instead.

Hi Gang,

I saw that tip as well(I tape them all) and it's a great point to learn and improve on to create distance. If you want to study lag then study Camilo Villegas's swing. Now that guy is ALL LAG,,,and he's long!

      So, I think the idea behind it is that the ball is not perfectly smooth (obviously). So, on shorter putts, it is better to hit that point on the ball because it gets the ball into a better roll. You are not compressing the ball with a short putt, so it would act more similar to if you were hitting let's say a 100 sided dice. On longer putts, you might be compression the ball so more of the ball impacts the club face and then that single point doesn't matter.  It might be something he made up, could be a confidence thing, could be a legit thing. Maybe it matters more with how good the greens they putt on.  Also, we are talking about a single point here, and the putter face angle, path, ect.. will change a bit on each putt. So, it isn't like you are hitting that spot exactly in the same way.  Not sure it is worth the effort with so many variables in play.

      Looking at the aerial, there is very few holes were short is bad. You can always putt from off the green, so it makes the short game easier. I can see where the big number is out more often. It's not really a course where you can easily go low at either. The sand down there is super easy to play out of.

      Yeah, even Jamie doesn't really push (forward) with the right leg here, so I bumped on his use of that phrase/term early as well. They get away from it, though, and when they show the movements it's more obvious that's not what he's talking about. I sometimes wish there was a better term because, as you note, it often leads to people trying to actually "push" with their right leg.

      Pinehurst #2 is actually pretty playable for the average golfer because… the average golfer misses short a lot, and short misses aren't punished much at Pinehurst.

      I think he's saying that you put the red line on the top outside edge of the dimple, which is what contacts the face… and I think he meant to say topspin, but… whatever.
