Match play is a great format, and I think I would enjoy playing it a lot more.  The Ryder Cup and Presidents Cups are great too, as is this ONE event.  But just remember what happens on the final day of a major non-team match play event.

We all complain all the time about Nick Faldo and Johnny Miller and David Feherty, and them only showing a small handful of golfers who are in contention down the stretch during a normal stroke play event.  On Sunday there are 2 guys playing golf for 4 hours.  4 if you count the consolation match, but they don't even show much of that thing, if I recall correctly.

There is a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooottttttttttttttttttttttttt of down time between golf shots.

Sorry for your pain. How do you suggest the organizers arrange for the people you like to win and people you don't like to lose? Maybe some sort of American Idol setup where there's an online vote and

What format do you play with your buddies?

We play match play almost exclusively.  Usually just a little nassau.  Individual or 4-ball depending on the group.  Easy to handicap, and it tends to speed up the round as it's easy for someone to pick up if they're out of the hole.  No one is ever grinding over a 5 footer for triple.  Plus a bad hole is just that.....only one bad hole.

Just about the only time I ever play stroke play is in tournaments.

It IS worth noting that it's important to be honest in posting your scores for handicap.  If you're not careful, it'd be easy to post scores that are too low if you're picking up when out of a hole or when a hole is conceded......

That's the thing ... I don't normally play any games with my buddies.  Next week, however, we are playing a fourball match that should be a lot of fun.  Hopefully, we can do that a lot more.

But typically I'm golfing with my dad and father in law that just don't have any interest in playing for anything.

With two little ones at home, I also have trouble finding time to play, so I don't have a regular game, and oftentimes when I do get out, I'm playing with strangers.

So, I'm just out there trying to score my best, and that's about it.

I've always said, I'd rather win $5 from one of my golf buddies than find a $100 bill on the ground!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.

      Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.

      Day 279 6-8  Worked on low point control skills work tonight. will be doing this for a few weeks. Tonight was just trying figure out how to get low point forward.  No ball.

      Day 8 (Jun 8 26) - Stayed the drill but added two additional irons (7i, 8i and 9i) - using Divot Board and hard foam balls - focused on tempo and purposed pause at the top….noticing how open the club is marking the board when I try to kill it and how much more square (and better distance) when I focus on these keys.
