It would be nice to hear from Rebelgolfer about how things are going. Maybe he could share how he got rid of the shanks! I know I'd be shankin the golf ball after 4 buckets!

In the Cleveland bag:

Cleveland Launcher Steel Fairway 15°, Fujikura Gold 65g R

Maybe he is in a straight jacket somewhere. those "misses" make me crazy. When I get them on the course, I have to aim to completely miss the ball on inside.

Well, not quite in a straight jacket just yet... but if this game keeps after me like it is it won't be long LOL!

Things have gotten better in the "shanking" department. Not quite sure which of the 50,000 "cures" I read about worked but something did and the swing is pretty much back to normal. Maybe it is that I have moved on to a new problem: a wicked banana-slice with the driver. Out of nowhere. Probably did it 8 times yesterday. And we're talking HUGE slice, at least 80 to 100 yards of slice. Awesome.

How about hitting a full bucket of balls perfectly, I mean straight down the middle (all clubs) with a dollar-sized "divot" mark on the mat. Then I head to hit balls off the grass and I proceed to hit all 30 golf balls 30 yards off to the right - I shanked all 30 using the same swing. I know this because the golf pro was giving me a lesson at the time. He watched me hit balls off the mat and stated there was nothing wrong with my swing. I went to the grass to attack a few holes, since I was feeling so confident, shanked the first PW. After shanking the next 10, I ran back to get the pro. He watched me hit off the grass and could not see what the problem was. He didn't charge me for the lesson as he was so amazed/confused.

I am absolutely afraid to go back and try it again. I have no idea where my ball is going and no idea why the grass made a difference.

Tell me about it man! Spent all winter getting lessons indoors and was well on my way to some good golf shots. Spring comes and my first time out on the grass, its like I never swung a club before. The grass plays mind tricks on me. Mats are the devil.

      Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By GolfLug ·

      No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death.

      Spark League at Severna Park Golf

      By Paloma ·

      Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area?

      I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.

      Day 552, May 7, 2024 Played nine holes with @NatalieB with irons only from her tees. Didn't really finish out any holes, just hit the irons and approaches and some chips.
