Here's a few days of stuff. First, swing length plus maintaining the cupping in the left wrist a little (it feels like my right wrist stays pretty flat): Then, the same thing as a

Just wanted to go through my round of 69 at Whispering Woods to highlight a few things. It was from the blue tees (6500 yards) where we'd held the TST outing a few days prior. Let's take a look at eac

I'd lost the feels so I went back to exaggerate. These aren't even exaggerations, but they're good. Not worried at all about the downswing on these, and I'm under-turning, too. I grouped the ball

It's uploading.

Erik, thanks for uploading this video.  Question I have... When you go from A5 to A6... How do you keep your head centered - and not moving trail side (behind the ball)?  Like in this image....

Do you have a Key #1 drill - which helps you bank the right foot - but prevents the head from shifting / tilting too far right?

No... I've never really had a problem with it. I just don't do it.

Now that this site has ingrained the idea of slow and purposeful practice I really can't go there because I would likely only hit a bucket at most. Almost as expensive as playing golf. But I'm getting a lot better and a lot faster, I can only imagine how awesome it would be if there were any decent instructors around here.

If three buckets an hour was helpful at 27 dollars, but one bucket an hour helps more, isn't 27 dollars a better deal? Why does the number of balls matter if it helps more? :)

Perhaps I'm only jealous because I have no way to practice with real balls.

I wonder who on this forum is a PGA tour pro, disguised as a normal player..

Don't they have the heated driving bays over at Purdue? Or are those only for the teams?

25 dollars for 70 balls is far too expensive for me. So yes it is possible, but there's no way I can do it and make rent :)

Kiddo, cbrian, and I snuck out for a quick round at a little semi-executive-style course yesterday.

This hole is 135 or so for her. She put it on in two easily - very muddy, unmowed conditions were not favorable for roll.

Wow. I am impressed, getting it over the water no problem like that

I wish I could do that consistently. Even at 100 yards my 7 iron would be ok 9 times out of 10, but chances are my driver would go higher than it does far, and then 50 yards right dropping in the water.

      Ruling Needed? Immovable Obstruction?

      By saevel25 ·

      Good advice.  When you see a golfer taking short steps, looking down at the ground, it's probably checking for temporary water.  There are plenty of cases were just hitting it from the bad lie is better than where you would drop it. Like hitting of a cart path.

      Yea I find it ridiculous people having an issue that he could drop in the fairway. Every relief situation is its own instance. You re-assess after a drop. Sometimes the drop is in your favor or not.  Too many scramble only golfers commenting on golf rulings. Usually scrambles you need to maintain the same lie if you hit with in a club length of the ball. 😉

      MSN J. J. Spaun relief from sprinkler head under fire for not being in the spirit of the game. While I understand the advantage he gains by dropping a ball that ended up in rough in the fairway doesn't seem to kosher in lot of people's eyes, but I suspect this happens more often than lot of people realize and players take the entitled relief every time when the opportunity present itself. Not fair to call him out as a person of 'no integrity' IMO.  A lot of people do not know that both fairway and rough are part of the same general area and ROG does not distinguish them as far as relief is concerned.

      Another Surgery for Tiger

      Jack played in 7 tournaments in 1986. He was on his way out. He was not training or trying to be the best in the world. Honestly, he just caught some good golf at the right time.  Who says Jack wasn't battling injuries at that time either? A lot of stuff wasn't reported on until post 2000 in terms of covering athletes.  At what capacity? He can play, but he can't compete at any sort of level for the PGA or Senior Tour.  Yes, most of them walk away.
