Definitely the OB. A bad putt is one extra stroke, an OB tee shot is 2, plus the demoralization that comes with starting the hole on such a bad note.

I voted the same way. It just starts your hole off on the wrong foot. More likely to miss a putt after that anyway, so I feel like "you're still away" will likely come with the first.

It is when she says "I don't do anything on the first date". Meaning she's flapping her mouth too much. LOL

Or could be this one: "had it in her mouth, until her dad walked in".

Hypothetical situation:  In some type of team competition if I can two putt we win outright and three putting means a playoff.  I putt up to about 28 inches and am confident I can pop that putt into the back of the cup.  I walk up, address the ball, and am about to make the stroke when one of my team members panics and blurts out " take your time ".  Wow thanks dude worst possible timing for saying that, way to take me out of the moment and insert doubt into my mind.

What's three words you'll hear on the golf course but never hear in the bedroom?

Bite, you bitch!

“You don't have the game you played last year or last week. You only have today's game. It may be far from your best, but that's all you've got. Harden your heart and make the best of it.”

~ Walter Hagen

      Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing.

      _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.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      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.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.
