in the leg to be specific.

yesterday on the first hole the guy i was playing with shanked one into my leg from about 10 feet away, he was 175 from pin and hitting a 6 iron full swing. i had no time to even get out of the way. By the time I had a chance to even process what had happened the ball had already hit me and bounced back into the fairway. i always walk so i was walking as usual and it hurt for the first minute or so but i kept playing and finished the round, didnt really feel my leg during the round but when i drove home and wasnt moving it around for about 20 min it stiffened up and I could barely get out of my car haha. The bruise looks like a section of one of those big white jawbreakers, with all the rings of color, mostly reds and blues.

just thought id share this first time experience with you guys, anyone else had this happen to them?

Its never happened to me but iwatched my brother hit a slice with his 5 wood, we both yelled fore but there wasnt much time. The ball was on him so fast. It hit a guy at the 2nd tee over to the right from the 1st tee's green. Instantly dropped the guy on his back holding his leg. He was pretty P.Oed. By the time he hit the wood and we yelled fore it was right on him. What can you do but say sorry. I wonder what he felt like the next day. He had to have a pretty gnarley bruise.

I'm going to give you a little advice. There's a force in the universe that makes things happen. And all you have to do is get in touch with it, stop thinking, let things happen, and be the ball.

caught one on the bone on the outside of your ankle.. Lady was on an adjacent hole and it was her drive. Hit me right on the ankle on the fly. Took me down instantly. The lady never yelled fore, either did the guy she was playing with. And to ad insult to injury they were rude and made it seem like I was at fault for being in my own fairway. Needless to say she never even apologized to me. I was only 16 at the time, and my dad wanted to wrap a club around their necks for the way they acted towards me, but I basically told him to be the bigger person. Plus if a fight went down I was one one leg at the time. went to the hospital right from the course for xrays but it didn;t break anything. was on crutched for a few weeks but could have beeen way worse.

      Depends on my lie and the green I am working with. If I want to fly and stop, my 58* If I am looking for it to run a bit, my 54* And on occasion if the lie and green call for it, punch and run with my 7i

      RTJ Trail Itinerary (5 Days From ATL) — Thoughts?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I did the RTJ trail, we just did Grand National and Capitol Hill. We were trying to minimize travel time. It gave us 5 courses to play. You pare playing 3 of the 5 we played.  If I had to pick, I would play the Lakes over the Links at Grand National. Links felt too penal on approach shots. If you can't get height or spin, it felt like every ball that hit the center of the green ran off the back. A lot of the greens require force carry, no running it up. It just wasn't that fun to play.   Judge - Really good course, some really cool holes and terrain.   Senator - Really fun open course. They call it link style, I can't remember how much you can play the ball down, but it has the aesthetic appeal.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I do that at the range; I just have been going through a half-assed pre-shot routine. 😇 I just kind of waltz up to the ball and hit it. I catch myself just going through the motions of aiming. Once I started aligning my club to an intermediate target, I felt like I was aligned way open to the target but just trusted it. Like, if the club was aimed at the flag in the middle of the green, then my body was aligned left of the green or more (assuming something like a 100+ yard shot). I think I was more concerned with where my feet were lined up and not the clubface.  A question on alignment then.  So, the ball is like what, 3-FT away from the toe target line. So, does that mean if my toe line is aimed at the flag, the club is aimed 3-ft right? Does the perception of the green looking smaller in the distance impact that in terms of how we hit the shot? I feel like the geometry should work that the ball is actually aimed 3-FT right.
