Ok, we all have our set-up routines and I can appreciate that. Well, today I played 9 holes with a local Senior PGA bound gentleman that I was fortunate enough to be paired with. I shot one over on 9 and managed over a long way off the tee and he was right around 260 and shot 4 under! Oh, and I hit 1 fairway and was in the rough on every one after that and he hit EVERY single fairway and green in regulation He was absolutely amazing. The biggest difference I saw is that 170 so yards and in, he was within 15 feet and I was just lucky to aim for the middle of the green from the rough.

Anyway, here is where it gets interesting and when you see him on tv one day you will know his name because here is exactly how he sets up to EVERY SINGLE SHOT!

Driver: He extends his arms and gets into his exact impact position, from there he settles into his address and swings but keeps his distance from the ball. What I learned from this is that I think MOST golfers stand way way to close to the ball causing them to jam up at impact...

Anyway just thought I would share...

Why do more golfers not do this?

    • Its way past time both tours  have  major  penalties for  slow  play. I  hate  it when they say" This group is  on the  clock". Big damn deal. Issue  penalties. Maybe Hull is a  bit too harsh but  its time a slew  of  2 stroke  penalties start  being  issued.     Charley Hull is fed up with slow play on the LPGA, so she offered a ‘ruthless’ solution “I’m quite ruthless, but I said, ‘Listen, if you get three bad timings, every time it’s a tee shot penalty; if you have three of them, you lose your Tour card instantly.’ I’m sure that would hurry a lot of people up, and they won’t want to lose their Tour card. That would kill the slow play, but they would never do that.” Who knows if that will work. But if it does not, maybe the PGA Tour should adopt Hull’s idea. The LPGA should, too, or at least assess penalty strokes for slow play. Five-hour rounds for a final group on Sunday is unacceptable and a quick way to lose interest and engagement from fans.

    • A hair under 190. It was pretty downhill, though, so I think we were playing between 180-185 to the pin. My 6 iron went 187 according to shot scope and ended up 18 feet away.
    • That's a tough pin on 14 at TR, had to make the hole play much longer, how far was that shot? I've only played that hole with a front pin.
    • No, but I spent (marginally) less time in the trees at Southern Pines, so it definitely played wider for me 😆. It definitely felt wider.
