It's funny, but I have no idea what you're talking about.

/me goes to look.

Ah, okay, now I remember. Yeah, those are good.


Lol. Came across it again as I was re-reading on my flight home this afternoon.

Went up to Erie for the first lesson of 2021! Just a summary of things I worked on.  Setup 1. Less upper body axis tilt 2. Less hands pushed forward 3. Weight more 50/50 Bet

Went up to Erie for a GEARS lesson today.  The focus today was on working on hand path and clubhead path in the downswing. I am sending the hands to far out towards the ball, and having the club

Went out to Kittyhawk today, to the short game area. I did the drill in the "Lowest Score Wins" book, getting the yardages for Quarter, Half, 3/4, and full shots for all my wedges (my three Edel Wedges)

Besides getting some valuable yardage information. I also found this to be a great practice drill to develop feel for different backswing lengths. So if a person is struggling with their backswing length, just work your way up your 52 degree wedge, from quarter to full shots.

My favorite has to be the 3/4th swing location. I was just making GREAT contact with my wedges. The sound from a solid strike is just totally different then what I was doing before.

So after this, I gave the new yardages a test run. I walked to a random location, and lasered the pin. I had 57 yards. So I took my 56 degree, at half swing length and all but one of my balls landed pin high, all of them were safely on the green. If I wanted to hit one close, I should have picked the 50 yard club and had the ball land short and roll forward. Got to think of the roll out, these yardages are carry.

This is one of those things that took me about 2 hours to do, but after I was done and saw how easy it is to pick a club and a swing length. I am just like, why haven't I done this before. It's one of those "DUH" moments.

@CarlSpackler there to get the yardages. If it is in the evening (after 5pm), you can stand under that tree near the practice green and hit shots. Nice shady area. The tree doesn't bother with the trajectory or swing. It was a life saver this afternoon, that sun was a cooker.

I haven't been out there for a few years. Probably why my short game is suffering. It's an excellent place to work. That tree is my friend. ;-) I was actually going to head out there this evening, but the wife talked me into going to the store with her.

@saevel25 are you gonna print out the yardages and tape them to the bottom of the shafts?

I thought about printing them with a label maker and sticking them on my bag tag so I don't have to pull each club to see it yardage. I can just find the yardage on my "grid" and pull the club.

Well if you decide to go out there this weekend let me know. You can use my laser range finder, and I'll just practice my short game while you get the yardages.

Yep, going to do that tonight :-D

I'll definitely be heading out there sometime this weekend. I have a laser gadget, but would welcome the company. Hoping to get in 9 or 18 as well. clubs have been unused for over 10 days.

Just shoot me a PM as to when you are heading over. I think Sunday looks the best with regards to the weather.

Wedges are labelled! I bought some reusable labels, so they wont get too sticky. Then I used some clear packaging tape to cover the label. The yardages are on the under side of the club, so I wont see them when I am standing over the ball at address.

Matt, put them under the grip. You don't need to know what the yardages are before you pull the club, you pull the club based on the trajectory you want, and use that chart to help you determine the swing. Plus, you really won't see any stuff when you address the ball if they're under the grip.

Matt, are those 52*, 56* and 60* wedges?

Yours in earnest, Jason.

They're the top numbers in that pic...

I haven't really ever charted my partial swing numbers, I just make some practice swings trying to get a feel for how big a backswing I need to hit a certain distance and then go. Like throwing a ball. I should do this though, if for no other reason than to have less decisions to make when I'm faced with a "tweener" wedge shot.

It is eye opening really. It took me about 1.5 to 2 hours. I hit 12 golf balls, the ones I play. I started with shorter and moved to full swing.

Top to bottom,

First # = Shaft Parallel to ground

Second # = Shaft is about between parallel and 90 degrees

Third # = Shaft is 90 degrees

Forth # = Full Swing

Like I said before, I like this as just a practice drill to get use to different swing lengths. When I am on the course, I have lets say 60 yards. Lets say I need to hit it higher. I could take the 60 degree wedge and hit between the 2nd and 3rd number.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By TN94z ·

      I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
