So are you from a galaxy far, far away, and long time ago? I never knew the sith had personal golf facilities. I guess George Lucas must have skipped over that part in movies.

The Sith are quite crafy players. Not known for their long drives, but certainly great around the greens. And if you try to cheat, they'll go all Darth Vader on one of your hands.

The key is you are teeing them up at golfsmith. Try hitting off the mats, and focus on hitting the mats about 2" in front of the ball. I just got over this problem not too long ago, in generation 6 of my swing evolution. The other thing is to place the ball one club width from your lead foot, for all clubs. Start with this and you will hit them better. Your shots will go high, but at least you will hit them. Then move the ball back as you get more confident. Keep your hands ahead of the ball at impact. Everyone tells me this. One of the better players also told me that the feeling you get is to have your right (for a lefty) wrist feel firm through impact. Stack and tilt evangelism would be the next thing, but I am sure you will get lots of better and more specific advice than mine.

more than likely flipping and when your timing is good you hit it ok.  Plus hitting off mat and tee you can get away with it

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

      Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.

      Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
