I think I have finally found a golf forum that has enough post to keep me engaged. I tried others but 5 or 6 post per day wasn't enough to keep my interest.

I have played the game for 30 years and love it. It's a big part of my life, it doesn't define me but I can't see ever quitting. I have played in just about every imaginable event for amateurs and although I don't play a ton of competitive golf anymore I still enjoy the pressure when something comes along. My sister played on tour for 10 years and and I caddied for her in about 30 events. Those years provided me with some priceless memories and some wonderful friendships. I love this game and am glad I found a spot where I can share my mostly useless knowledge while reading others. I never take myself too seriously so I sincerely hope none of you will either. I appreciate a lighthearted approach. Life is too short to quibble about golf. Everybody has an opinion and of course most of them are wrong, mine included. No information works for all. But at the same time think what a boring place we would be living in if we all thought and said the same things.

Good to be here.

My dad is a Purdue Alum, so when ND plays them we don't speak for a few days... better that way, regardless of the outcome.

The Notre Dame alums I've met though the years have all been fun and interesting people. I just can't stand two things:

1. "BIG" Notre Dame fans who not only never attended Notre Dame, they've never even been there for a football game.

2. Media coverage. If they stink, it's national news week after week. If they are winning it's big news. It really gets old.

I would dearly love to see UCONN come in and kick Notre Dame next week. As it is, no way you beat Stanford in Palo Alto, which means goodbye Charlie. Perhaps then Notre Dame will take Michigan State off the schedule and replace it with St. Mary's.

Yeah, but this happens to every school that has a big-time athletic program. The subway alumni don't bother me if they stick to the sports. It's when you have people who never attended ND protesting President Obama speaking at graduation that drive me crazy.

2. Media coverage. If they stink, it's national news week after week. If they are winning it's big news. It really gets old.

This is true, though it's not like we have anything to do with it. The flipside is that there is also the ND backlash from guys like Mark May who won't give the school any credit and looks for reasons to put us down each week.

As it is, no way you beat Stanford in Palo Alto, which means goodbye Charlie.

Unfortunately, I have to agree. Charlie didn't spend enough time recruiting defense. But, maybe he can return to the Patriots as OC.

Three lousy shots and one brilliant shot can still make par...

      Awesome. We were originally going to play Quail Ridge but ended up moving some things around and are going to do the following when we go in May Day 1 Tobacco Road Day 2 Southern Pines and Pine Needles Day 3 Tot Hill Farm There are a couple good course vlog/matches on YouTube at Southern Pines, it looks awesome.

      Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I got two trips lined up this year.  First, Pinehurst next month. Qual Ridge, Mid Pins, Southern Pines 😁, Mid South, Talamore. I am looking forward to playing Southern Pines since it got redone.  Second, a trip to eastern Wisconsin in early August. Whistling Straights, Blackwolf Run, Erin Hills.

      3 Wood Shafts

      You are probably doing the right thing in having more fairway woods or hybrids in your bag than irons. Just easier to maximize ball speed for you swing speed to get the proper gaps.  A driver is teed up, so you have more leeway there. The 7-wood is probably more optimized for carry for you. A slower swing speed needs higher launch and spin to keep the ball in the air. With the 3-wood, it probably launches too low with not enough spin to keep it in the air.  If you are not going to go get lessons, or do some sort of swing speed training, go get fitted for clubs. Clearly your mix-match of equipment is not optimized.

      32 putts are average for a single digit handicap golfer. Limiting three putting is the biggest task. Speed control is the most important aspect of putting. Probably the 2nd most important is aim.  The putter is going to rotate open a bit on the backstroke. It might stay square to the arc of the putting stroke, but that does mean the face opens up a bit on the backstroke when measured against where the face is oriented at address. Go get a putter lesson as well.
