Here is the idiot question of the week....

How do you select shot type?

I've played bump and runs with 8 irons, chipped with the 60, used the PW, and have no problems with any of them.

I select "chip" as the shot type...move my target to where I want to land, then make a more deliberate swing and it works.

I had to share a moment from last night which made me love the game:

I won 3 nationwide tournaments in a row, got the PGA invite but declined because I still have to improve my skills. The next one I'm up and down the leaderboard, but find myself 1 shot behind the leader with 3 holes to play on the final round.....

I get a 12 on the next hole, literally said "shot limit has exceeded". I think I 9 putted or something.

Now I know how charlie Wi felt....

Geez, I tried to play in one of our club tourneys and the thing is set up without the grid. It is next to impossible to read the greens. Can you put the grid back? I am fine with no spin on the golfball but putting is atrocious...

Yeah, sorry about that.  I didn't know they were so many options.  You can press Triangle to get the caddie's read of the green and they do a pretty good job of pointing you in the right direction.  I played it with my character who is horrible and was right around even par.  I'll either change that one or set up another one that is more user friendly.

on the 360, it is the x button...I would assume the square button on PS3.

My philosophy on golf "We're not doing rocket science, here."

Won the nationwide championship yesterday, and joined the PGA tour. I think the greens are set faster for the PGA, makes the game much more interesting.

Also spend about 10 bucks of xbox points on all new clubs (couldn't help myself).

Is anyone arranging tournaments on the xbox CC?

On PS3 the club leader, or Admin (up to 5 per club) can set up tournies.  I set one up but rushed through it and it's kind of a sucky tournament.  Lots of options to select.  I'll set up an Augusta one on PS3 this week.

Anyone play this yet? How is the scoring going?

Not sure if anyone has played the other one yet, but I just set up another tournament. It's at Augusta, and in honor of Masters week and made the set-up fairly difficult (but not all the way up since we're all new to this year's game). This is on Xbox, BTW.

Jamo must have bought the collectors edition and has been taking advantage of the state of the art practice facilities at Augusta! -15?

I opened with an 81, but managed a 68 this morning for the 2nd round.

I can't understand how people are going so low with their custom golfers, have you guys played so much already to damn near max out your skills?

Interesting greens play, much hard to put without the graph, although sinking a longer putt is a lot more satisfying. I holed out twice in the 2nd round from off the green!

FWIW, I was playing as Tiger. Everyone else should also (though maybe we should keep that for this tourney only, and now I feel guilty so Ii'll play the last two rounds with my guy). After the first round I finally got the hang of putting without the grid lines. So yeah, play with one of the pros for this tournament so I don't feel like a total dick. :-)

    • _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers. 
    • I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.     
    • Day 580 - 2026-05-04 Played eight holes. Sometimes golf kicks you in the nuts. 😉
