To say that "Lefty" is a good nickname for lefty is like calling a right handed person "Righty" or a golfer "Golfy". It's hardly creative.

For Mel Phickleson, I'd like to suggest one of the following: - The Smirk - Jethro - Grapes - Mrs. Chubbs

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.

Moobs Mickelson is actually pretty damn catchy.

Have to agree that "Lefty" is somewhere near the peak of Lazy Nicknaming. I do sort of like "Golfy", though. It transcends obvious and goes back around to being clever again. Kind of a like a puppy that's so ugly it's cute, or a movie that's so horrible it has to be watched.

Currently in my bag:  Under Revision

Stewart Cink = Twitter

Tadd Fujikawa = Oompa Loompa

Boo Weekley = Big Country

John Daly = Fancypants

Anthony Kim = Lil' Kim

Brandt Snedeker = Goldie Locks

Rory Mcillory = The Highlander

Ryan Moore = Frodo

Paul Goydos = The Duck

Tiger Woods = The Messiah

Golf is a game in which the ball always lies poorly and the player always lies well.

Yeah, we've had ten years of it ... but after watching Sergio's major-championship performance over that span, I suggest we call him

El Noño . Or El Floppo, or El Yipo ... until he finally wins one (which he will).

What's in my bag:

Driver: R7 CGB Max, regular shaft
4-wood and 7-wood: :: Launcher, regular shafts
4-iron to A-wedge: X-20, regular steel shafts56- and 60-degree wedge: forged, stiff steel shafts, vintage finish, MD groovesPutter: Circa '62, No. 7, steel shaft, 35"Ball: NXT Tour or ProV1(x)...

Funny story but true... My Pro at my old golf course about 10 years ago use to call me Big Stick because I hit the ball long... Well, the cart girls and chicks that worked in the resturant took it another way... And so the legend began and it still goes...lol

    • You get a penalty stroke because your local committee didn't do their job, they didn't address the specific conditions using the tools available to them within the Rules.  The rulemakers contemplated just this situation, bunkers being so filled with Temporary Water that they're unplayable.  The only way to address it "fairly" is to allow free relief outside the bunker, and they do NOT want to allow that on an everyday basis.  So they write the rules as it is, and allow the Committee to override the normal rule in the rare instance where the bunker really is full.  That's what your "local league" does, they invoke Model Local Rule F-16, which treats flooded bunkers as both GUR and as General Area.  Relief from GUR in the General Area allows relief in the General Area (i.e. outside the re-defined bunker).  Its quite a logical way to approach a relatively rare situation. Separately, consider your concern about temporary Water in the fairway.  I've seen situations in relatively level fairways where the Nearest Point of Complete Relief  from Temporary Water is 30 or 40 yards away, further from the green, even in the rough.   
    • There you go, @yungbuck6. Your hips aren’t really shifted forward and your head tips back. The camera angle isn’t good so what looks like hip slide could actually just be extension towards the ball.
    • But there's more to weight shift than just where you finish. How your weight transfers throughout the swing matters too.  But you're saying you can see it better than a device that can measure it? Got it.  Yeah I'm good here, good luck to whoever tries to coach you.
