I wish it was a bit more even but it is teaching him lesions. If you want it you will have to work for it, Golf is a great sport to challenge him with.

Some of the kids I okayed against in high school (where double oar is the highest score you can get over hole) shot 70 on every nine... never ever got the chance to finish a hole. So it definitely depends on where you are.

Driver: 10.5* callaway Razr Hawk Tour - 350 yards(usually into the wind, it can be windy here. at least 400 with a little wind behind me)

Hybrids: 2 and 3 callaway Hybrid razr tour (312 and 287 respectively)

Irons: 3i-10i callaway forged standard length(278, 263, 250, 235, 221, 213, 201, 190)

Wedges: callaway jaws cc 52* 12 approach, 56* 16 sand, 60* 13 lob (0-185)

Odyssey Black tour #9 putter(5 ft, i'm always at least within 5 feet on my approach shot)

I wonder who on this forum is a PGA tour pro, disguised as a normal player..

I coach JV at a larger catholic school in my city, great kids, I really enjoy them.  One of the greatest issues that we face is what shows on the scorecard vs what really happens.  Kids will tell you they shot 4 and you just saw them make 5...add that up hole after hole, over 3 months???   Work with him, let him play with kids MORE skilled then he is...lift some light weights, do some stomach exercises and re tee it next year.  3 months is a really long tryout period...I cant imagine it...our tryout is less than a week.

You may want to approach the coach for what to work on....I am not sure you will get much...I feel his stacking the team with seniors is short sighted to team development....but if he has 3 championships then it seems to work for him.

Weavej2, that is what we are doing, lessions and playing each week. I am not going to the coach I do not feel he either cares or really wants to do this but that is not for me to say other then he always had an excuss why the days would get changed. I agree 3 months is a long time to go only to come down to one afternoon. Bit if I go to him he will just feel I am fighting for my son and a father who thinks he is better then he is. But we will just keep at it and hope that next year will be another opertunity.

But I agree if he is stacking his team with seniors it will catch up at some point I am sure. Or he is betting that todays freashman will be his JV team or better next year.I have stayed out of the HS sports stuff just because of these issues. But the HS he is at is very competative and from what I hear the coachs are not all that nice to the boys.

Or it could be I am just out of touch.

I'm a HS golf coach in Oregon, for a rural school, and my 2 best players don't spend more than half their time in the 70's, but I've seen schools like Lake Oswego shoot under 288 as a team a few times this year, that's under par for the team, and done it on some difficult courses.  We had a young lady from Florence Oregon set an all time course record of 64 at a local country club a few weeks ago too.  Most of these kids come from families who have been members of the local country club, and have been getting formal lessons for many years, and who have a the drive and interest to practice almost every day, even through the wet Oregon winters.

Hmmm...At large schools almost all sports teams are stacked with seniors (except for a few prodigies). The coach has no choice but to stack the team with seniors if they are the best players. He certainly can't tell a senior that's shooting under par that he can't be on the team simply because he would like the underclassmen to get experience. There's only room for so many players.

I miss playing Lake Oswego.

My highschool team is a little above average for the schools around us. We have 4 guys that break 80 consistently and 1 that can go under if he's playing well

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      It sucks to carry around a lot of water, but ideally it should be way more than we think.  I buy those gallon jugs of water and hang them from my pushcart when I walk. I agree with the electrolytes as well. You don't just sweat out water, but you lose electrolytes as well.

      Workout Before or After Playing a Round of Golf (2022)

      By WUTiger · Posted

      A 2010 study from the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research compares the effects of different pre-round stretch routines for competitive golfers. Active Dynamic Warm-up: Swing Medicus driver, hit 3 shots each with selected clubs. Passive Static Stretches: Various athletic stretches such as hamstrings, chest stretch and reverse trunk twist. The subjects were collegiate golfers with a HDCP index of 5 or less who engaged regularly in strength and fitness routines. All golfers had two test days: one with active dynamic (AD) warmup, a second with AD followed by static stretches (SS). The results were then compared, within golfers and across golfers. For performance testing after the warmups, golfers hit three driver shots at time 0, 15, 30 and 45 minutes after the warmup. The study shows that static stretch formats produced poorer performance outcomes in the four measures shown in Table 5, which shows Time Zero results. The performance deficits under the PSS protocol decreased over time. Some suggestions on why the passive protocol was tied to lower performance than the active protocol: The passive stretches routine induced excessive range of motion,  basically producing wobbles in the golf swing. Other research indicates that the stretching produced slack in the tendons, lessening the amount of muscle force that could be transferred into the shot. One caveat: The study had good scientific controls and balancing of treatments (test routines). This was, however, an exploratory study and raises as many questions as it answers. Also, although the study was done back in 2010, it is still cited as a primary work in recent reviews. A quick online search did not reveal any follow-ups on the study. For those interested, the study PDF is below. PassiveStretchGOLF.pdf

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.

      Puerto Vallarta Vacation / Vidanta

      By Mystique · Posted

      Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
