My swing thought is to not swing around my body more of an extension back under and through and trying to visualize the position of the club face throughout. I usually beg not to go left/hook as well. To much thinking I know.

What top teacher/instructor would you like to work with in building or rebuilding your swing?

A. Not my house but I've sold several for other people (as a realtor). Shouldn't be a nightmare if you have a competent realtor.

Q. Do you know what the "John 3:16" signs at sporting events refers to?

Posted
A: I think it's like when you get separated from your parents at a mall or a theme park, maybe - referring to the meeting time. Those parents holding the sign probably figure their kid, John is watching tv. That's a pretty safe assumption.

A. Yup, only got through 9 holes though it was way to hot without any wind, felt like I was getting grilled. Simply unbearable.

Yes, I want to understand my swing (or lack of) and how all the parts fit, I use technology, equipment and what ever else I can find.

What is your most memorable shot?

Posted
A: My 1st par (a par 3); and also teeing it up with my boss and completely whiffing the 1st tee shot.

Q: Favorite time of day to play and why?

Posted
Wheres your question?

A:ride if its just a normal course or a lot of people playing.. walk if its a course i want to look at the scenary and take the course in.

Q: What is the best budget ball for distance and feel in your opinon?

Posted
A: the E series of Bridgestone are pretty good for the prize and come in a wide range based on your trajectory need. But I have a friend that swears by the much cheaper Top Flite D2 feel.

Q: Do you have a lucky pre-round meal, and if so, what is it?

Posted
A: It used to be pancakes, bacon and coffee at the clubhouse. I'm trending towards the breakfast wrap with salsa, bacon and cheese.

Q: What's the best meal you ever ate at a golf course, and where?

A: My PW - it's part of the set but it just isn't as accurate as my $30 Wilson Pro Staff GW - I may get another Wilson and have it bent stonger (until it just before it breaks - lol).

Q. Getting outside and experiencing nature always makes me crave ___insert meat here_____. Do you think vegetarians can truly enjoy golf?

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.

A: Beef Jerky, I don't think vegetarians truly understand joy.

Q: Whats your favorite courses to play, and why?

Posted
any courses with a lot of water and good scenary. I dont know why but water gives an adrenaline rush and makes golf like 3x more fun.

if PGA issued a new rule saying that you are allowed to carry 13 clubs, which club would you take out?

    • I had two events the past two days. Yesterday I was playing a course blind. Hit it solid. Hit 9/14 fairways, 12/18 greens, 34 putts. Many of those putts were the result of balls that were close-ish to the hole when they landed, but wound up a long way away once they'd finished rolling (backwards mainly). Then today, hit 11/13 fairways, 11/18 greens, 37 putts, and shot 80. 8 over par and it wasn't particularly pretty. My big problem today was my pitching. I was inside 100 yards of the hole and off the green on 9 occasions.  1st - drive to about 75 yards, fanned a 58 degree short and right. On the green, but a good 40 feet away and good two putt from there (so took 3) 2nd - laid up to a bunker and it's narrow past it, so had 165 in, missed it right with an 8 iron. Wet rough, chip from about 5 yards off the green and the club snagged. It got on the green, but only temporarily. Overcorrected a bit on the next one and hit it a bit firm and it rolled out to about 35 feet. Putt didn't break and it ran on a bit and I missed the one back (greens were fast and a little bumpy, which didn't help, but doesn't excuse either). (took 5 to get down from close to the green) 4th - had about 95 from the right rough, hit it on the green and two putts (3) 5th - 90 from the fairway, tugged it and it got a firm bounce, chipped on and hit what I thought was a decent chip, but it ran out down the hill and two putts from 20 feet (4) 7th - 65 from the fairway, significant upslope and hit it a bit hard, ran long left against the collar. Tried to blade a PW, but it got under a bit so didn't advance it anything like far enough. Made a good two putt from there (4) 11th - 63 from the fairway, hit a squirrelly pitch on the green and two putts (3) 12th - 75 from the semi-rough, caught it a bit clean and it wound up on the back edge. Putting down a tier and it ran 8 feet past (that was actually a really good putt and couldn't have done any better I don't think) and missed that (4) 13th - 55 from the fairway, overcorrected and hit the big ball before the small ball. Then made a stellar up and down from 25 yards short to an elevated green with a putter (3) 15th - down in three from a greenside bunker (3) That was it. The other 9 holes I hit it on the green from outside 100 yards. So on those 9 occasions, I took 32 shots to get in the hole. 3.56 average. Terrible. Reason I'm posting this in here is to see if anyone has any suggestions for how to work on my contact with pitch shots. I don't have access to a grass range. Only mats and it's easy off a mat. Partly I think my problem is I've hit it off mats so much this winter that I've lost my judgement on where the ball is versus the ground because of the leeway granted. Open to ideas. I also suspect that under pressure I stand a bit closer to it and then get steep and hit down on it and it puts me in a bad place, but I can't seem to get myself to not do that.

    • Day 251 4-30 Worked on pelvis "going back" slightly in transition. Once i started getting some feel for it, added in wrist arching through. All done slower. 
    • I've been putting whilst looking at the hole and it's definitely helped my distance control
