My GPS app doesn't actually have any things that are included. It has a satellite map. You touch a spot on the map and it tells you the exact distance to that spot from where you're standing as well as the distance from that spot to the hole.

where are you from bro? anywhere near albany?

Is this a thread where users state their own 'They should invent...' ideas ??

If so, they need to put a tiny GPS or some sort of chip inside golf balls so you can find 'em !!

The beer cart girl should have access to my GPS and a pager.

been down the GPS and laser road....the laser by far won this battle

For me, a GPS is far more valuable considering that most of the time, I don't fire at pins. As long as I know the front, middle and back distances my gps gives me, and correlate that to the flag position, I'm good. Also, in the sceneraio where I may hook a drive into the fairway next door, and have to hit my shot onto the green over a tree, the lazer is 100% useless as I can't "lazer" through the tree that is blocking my view. With the gps, I still have my front, middle and back distance from the spot im standing.

I prefer the laser rangefinder but every time I'm one (or more) fairway over, debating carrying a dogleg on a new course, or even playing to a wrong fairway off the tee to avoid a hazard, I'm wishing I had both.

When I'm hitting it down the middle on the local muni a rangefinder or GPS is not necessary.

No, I moved here from the south about 10 years ago to go to RPI. I occasionally play at Frear.

      Same here. Seems quite a few of my fundamentals had strayed and Erik had to get me back on track. It was kind of surprising how bad I had gotten off.

      I would like to point out I was not complaining about hot summers;  rather, I enjoy them.  It's the coming cold cold winter I'm about to face that worries me.

      From late 2022 until a few months ago, I barely played (maybe two dozen rounds, total, and only four rounds in 2024).  I had my first lesson in ages (Skillest, with Erik) and grip was part of it -- mine really did get into a bad spot, and I had to (and still have to) practice the new one.  It still feels odd, but that's a good thing when adjusting (otherwise I'm probably doing the previous).   I'm going back into the office for the first time since then and I'm tempted to take a small section of pipe, keep it in a desk drawer, and periodically take it out to practice my grip.

      Great episode on GAPs. I agree 100%, this needs to be consistent. It is something you have complete control over to a high level of repeatability and precision. It is such low hanging fruit as well.  My own tendencies.  Grip - Can get too strong. I tend to not get much grip with my left pinky, and the grip can feel like it slips more into the palm. I mess around with grip size and tap wraps. I wonder if I need to get away from a big taper.  Stance - Use to be too far right. I noticed, for the first time ever, I was aiming too far left on the course last week. It was like 5-10 yards left of the target, not 20-30 yards right. Overcorrection. 🤣 It is getting better.  Posture - Way better now that I stretch and work on mobility. I could tell years ago that if I tried to keep my knees less bent, get more on the balls of my feet, I felt a stretch in my calves and hamstrings. Now, I don't, and it helps. I think people might avoid that stretch feeling because it might feel unnatural. I used to be head up as well, looking too much down the bridge of my nose. I still can catch myself doing that, especially on shorter irons. I think I have average ankle mobility. I do have to use elevated heels when I squat at the gym, or I tend to fall over forward.  I agree, if you are not practicing this then you can become lax. For about the entire first half of this season, I was just waltzing up to the ball without aiming. I still catch myself being lazing. I have to step back and actually aim. I think adding this into your practice sessions is easy. Just do it before ever rep at the range. Just make it a conscious effort on the course.  For the tee shot, the only time you can kind of use an alignment aid (other divot or maybe something is lying on the ground). I tend to use that to help me aim. I try to imagine a straight line that I align my body to.
