Yesterday afternoon I took my 6 year old daughter to Golfsmith to get her fit for her first putter and wedge. The associate who helped us was great and really made my girl feel special.

After she hit the wedge on the range for a few minutes she wanted to putt. He took her to the putting green and she hit a few balls. then she drains a 4 footer..... The store was packed and there were about 7 or 8 people on the putting green at that moment... She yells..."YES!!!!! That's just how Lorena Ochoa did it to win last week." Everyone just stopped and started looking at her and grinning. I never even knew she had any idea who Lorena Ochoa was...

That goes into my favorite moments book.

I hope my eventual nieces turn out this way. You must be very proud. :)

Been there....isn't it a great feeling.
We were just at Golfsmith about two months ago and picked up a new set for my 9 year old daughter. She is taking group lessons on Friday nights. The second lesson on the range she hit the 100 yard green.
Huge smile.....

And she was pretty happy also.

    • Yeah.  As far as remaining still, I was thinking body rotates around the spine like an axis.  Instead of pivoting, some like me, sway, come off that axis, leave weight on back foot, etc.  
    • I apologize on behalf of… idiot men. Sorry about that. Next time, tell the guy to shut up. 😛  Day 553, May 8, 2024 18 holes from the whites with @rwolfe. Windy AF today, but hit some good shots. Slid back a little from where I was the previous two days, but… I can get it back. Made a pretty nifty birdie on 12 from some pretty odd places. 😄 
    • The angles look fine. Get as much light as you can on the area — you want the highest shutter speed you can get. Less blur.
    • Snap @ Tour Spoon! Birdied 11 yesterday. Hit a poor iron ,stopped on edge of bunker , pitch with my lob wedge landed about 6’ away and went in. Only 12 & 14 to go, long par5’s into the prevailing wind. Might be waiting a while although I did have about 15’ on 12 after the birdie on 11, didn’t miss by much.
    • Tested the Maxfli TourS yesterday. Compared to my former ball, the Titleist AVX, I got an extra 10 yards off the driver and half a club (5-7 yards) off the irons. The combined extra yardage from the driver and fairway wood meant that on par-5s where I usually hit an 8-iron third shot, I hit a PW. It's just a smidgen softer than the AVX and seems to spin well. Some of the reviews indicated a low ball flight, but I did not notice it. I also did not observe any problems with the paint quality, which was an issue with previous Maxfli models up to and including the U series.  My previous round I tested the Bridgestone E6, a two-piece ball with a different cover. It was OK; the same distance and feel as the AVX but with less spin.
