Just curious if anyone has ever done this. While hitting balls tonight and practicing Erik's hit and stop drill I became frustrated and decided to swing from the right side. Two things I noticed immediately, 1. The set-up had my hands slightly in front of the ball with a nice angle in the shaft and 2. I could do the hit and stop drill perfect, it just felt like I was back-handing the ball every time. Nice divots starting at the ball and keeping the flying wedge seemed fairly simple. I'm just curious why standing on the other side of the ball changes the appearance of the set-up so much from my Point of View. Does it have more to do with dominant eyes or is that just an old wives tale...

Yes... I'm just curious how much a dominate eye plays a part in the golf swing if any at all.

      No, but I spent (marginally) less time in the trees at Southern Pines, so it definitely played wider for me 😆. It definitely felt wider.

      I'm bad about taking pictures, but here are a few Hole 1 on Duke, looking toward the green. The elevated green with bunkers surrounding it was a theme. The other theme was pin placements that were tough - this one is pretty far left. There were basically no easy pins on this day.     Hole 3 at Pine Needles. An extremely cool hole. Hole 5 at Pine Needles. The picture doesn't do the green site justice. Green of 6 at Southern Pines. A wild green, and a really cool setting at the edge of the property: Hole  Tee shot on 5 at Tobacco Road. Flag is on the flag, the huge fairway is to the right. Hole 8 at Tobacco Road. Downhill, medium length par 3 with this pin in the front part of the green. Really cool looking shot. A look at the pin placement and cottage on Tobacco Road 14. I hit one of my best shots of the trip here, to about 15 feet.

      Yes, but season 2 being all of six episodes is a bit of a let-down, even if the season itself wasn't.
