I got the impression that Leadbetter was kind of a 'D**K'. What a nice guy!

Well, this was quite a long time ago when he was just starting to become well known. Perhaps the celebrity went to his head.....

Hey, can I offer you a little advice about your swing?

1. Actually, this is just my 'hustle' swing. It must really be getting believable!

2. I don't have any money to pay you. And I tend to get what I pay for... 3. How do I know that I can trust you? 4. These swings I've been making weren't intended to be analyzed... 5. The last time I accepted advice, it made my swing look like this! 6. Only if you can answer me this: What's black and blue and red all over? (Gripping the club like a bat and grinning devilishly...)

yeah, the only talking I do at the range is when I know someone is watching me. I just tell them, if only I could play this well on the course.

I was at the range the night before last when the gentleman behind me wanted to offer advice. I was polite but firm, "No thanks. Too much to think about disturbs my sessions, and I'm working on some specifics at the moment. I appreciate the offer."

Low and behold, he tells me anyway. I mean, he wasn't really asking to give me the advice... The "hey, can I offer you a tip?" line was just a way to get my attention. The momentum was too strong. He was geared up to say somethin' and it was coming out no matter what I said in response.

I was annoyed; people are pushy and seldom listen before they speak.

Since I can't turn off my hearing, I'll just have to focus and ignore the noise...

      What Callaway Driver and 3 Wood to Buy Given My Age, Skill, Level Etc?

      By RWold ·

      I’ll just stick to the basics for now - got enough to work on… this is my home practice range. The little clearing in about the center of the photo is roughly 200 yards.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Played Musgrove Mill today. 72.3/155. +9 for 15 official holes as 2 holes are closed, and the par 5 16th plays as a converted par 3. We played the first three holes over to finish 18, and parred 1 and2 amped bogeyed 3. The good: hit every fairway. 1 less than normal for the converted par 3, but the second time I have done that this year. My sand wedge approach on 10 after a monster drive hit the pin in the back left corner hit he pin and spun away to 9’, and I missed the putt.   The great: hit 8 GIR and 7 were inside 10’. Needs work: Missed every birdie putt. No lip-outs. Just struggled on fast greens. Three-putted the par-5 9th with the pin on the back tier and jut missed hitting my approach to the proper level and it spun all the way to the front of the green.
