If you had to play One Golf Course for the Rest of your life, what Course would you Play? I Would Play At the Home Of golf, St Andrews.

Not sure I'd want to live there. I take a wild guess (having never played it) and say Spyglass.

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.

Spyglass, great choice.  Anywhere in Monterey is a solid pick, I will have to go with another Northern California gem and say the Lake Course at the Oympic Club.  Going on record here and saying the winning score for the US Open there next year will be +6.

Driver: Taylormade Burner TP (2007 model)
Fairway Wood: Callaway Steelhead III 4+
Hybrid: Sonartec MD 19
Irons: Mizuno MP 33s  4-PW
Wedges: Titleist Vokey Spin Milled wedges: 60, 56, 52Putter: Odyssey DFX 9900

If I would have to pick one that everyone knows of I would say Oakmont...I've been there multiple times and it is just a stunner and I spot something new on it every time.

A course that not many people have heard of is a local course, Lancaster Country Club.  The 2015 Womens US open is going to be held there.  There is three sets of 9 (two of the sets make up the old course, and there is a new 9 known as the highlands) as well as a 6 hole practice course.  It's a very old course, designed with old techniques with greens up high and long slanted fairways.  If you get a chance to look up the course, take a look...

This is a tough question as I suspect the course I would pick is one I haven't played (Cypress Point, PV, Sand Hills or some other exclusive course that I have almost zero chance of playing not to mention playing for the rest of my life).

Of courses that I have played Pebble would be the obvious choice especially if I get to add Spyglass, Spanish Bay and Del Monte as they are the same resort. I also like this choice because it gives a variety. This decision might change and will at least turn into a tougher question next month after going up to Bandon (it might even be easier to justify as a single pick as the courses are all next to each other).

If we are going to limit the choice to one course instead of one resort I may choose The European Club as its a top 100 in the world and you get an extra 2 holes ;)

Given the cost of traveling and limited play issues, it would have to be a fairly local course (assuming that I don't move too far away in my lifetime).

Possible picks would be (in no particular order):

Wingfoot

TPC Boston

Bethpage - Black Course

Pine Valley

Liberty National

Shinnecock

Belgrade Lakes

Lake of Isles

      My Swing (Retoid)

      By retoid · Posted

      This is my second year playing golf, I started last season but have always struggled with a slice. I've tried multiple things to try and fix the slice: Closing the face. Rotating my right hand out or clockwise in the grip. Keeping the club head low in my back swing. Focusing on a straight swing path. Trying the straighter arms like Bryson D. (as seen in the videos above) Trying to not let me hips get too far ahead of my down swing. Trying to keep my shoulders down until after I've made contact with the ball. Etc. I recently changed to the straighter arms which has helped me adjust away from such a drastic slice. So it has helped a bit. Before that, I was trying to keep the club head low in the back swing and this was the most helpful in correcting the slice, however it drastically removed power and distance in the strikes and would even sometimes result in a hook. About a couple months ago I had a single lesson with my driver and learned some helpful things, but have since struggled to perform what I learned well. One of the things in the lesson was to keep my shoulder down more in the the down swing until after making contact with the ball. This would help the slice a bit, sometimes drawing the ball. To even it out, I was instructed to rotate my hips a bit earlier in the down swing. What I have noticed however with the earlier hip rotation is that it's really hurting my lower back a lot. Since backing off on that it's helped not injure my low back as much. I believe my main issue might possibly be the swing path, being a Pull Slice.   See above, was mid typing when you posted. I have never watched Moe Norman's swing to be honest. I have never measure my hip rotation, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on that after you read about my hip rotation / back pain issue.

      Two questions… Are you trying to swing like Moe Norman? What's your hip turn like? Have you ever measured it?

      What are the best drills to practice awareness for club face control? This one came to mind after remembering a bit from the latest release of the podcast. I also think that I have poor club face to path awareness.
