I'm starting to feel like "The Cooler" ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0318374/ ) on the golf course.  I've been golfing with a number of guys lately that I know can shoot rounds between 78-82 regularly but they are barely breaking 90 with me.

This would be great if I were playing for money, but we’re just out for fun.  It’s getting kind of frustrating because some rounds it seems like I end up subconsciously sympathy sucking.

Anymore I would rather play by myself or get paired up with a group on the course that I could care less about.  I feel like I’m missing out on the comradery of having a regular group along with having a group that helps grow each others game.


Be happy with the group(s) that you have! For me, it's nearly impossible to find a group of people out of my friends that enjoy golf as much as I do and have the year-round itch. I would love to know that "Saturday is golf day" and not have to call around asking people to show up. Just wake up at 6am, put the coffee on, and be at the course by 6:30 like it's second-nature.

My father is my golfing buddy because he's got the same bug as me and will go on the drop of a dime any time. It's really hard to find reliable golfers out of your immediate group of friends. I have never tried to hook up with a group of people I don't know though and I can't play alone. I need to have someone to joke around with and bs and have a few beers with.

    • You DO realize that all of your prior posts in this thread are still there for folks to read?  Put the shovel down. As to best player not to have won the career grand slam, ever hear of a fellow named Sam Snead?  Or Arnold Palmer?  Or Phil Mickelson?  Or Lee Trevino?  All-time greats who were never able to complete this.  Because it's hard, and not doing it doesn't really say anything about greatness.  Or "demons".  Or being "jacked".
    • I know I’m really resurrecting this thread but what do you guys think of Jason Day’s style of dead hand wedge from say 30-90 yards. You can start with a fairly vertical shaft so it still uses the bounce I think. Is speed the limiting factor here because of the lack of wrists, or would the feel of dead hands actually cause lag on the downswing and actually end up using more leading edge than bounce anyway.  I just wonder would it be easier for distance control in terms of backswing length.  Any opinions on it?
    • Day 278: did a stack session. 
    • Day 206 - 2025-04-24 Got some good partial wedge work in today. Same stuff as the full swing, but I can see why I was trying to do something a bit different.
    • Day 4:Full Speed Spectrum Training Session 8/24 Dropped 2 mph from last session. This is my 6thFull Speed Spectrum program and I have often struggled swinging so many heavier weights and maintaining speed with the195 gram measuring weight.
