Recommended Posts

I've been Playing Golf for: 1year 1month

My current handicap index or average score is: -

My typical ball flight is: Straight down

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: pull


Videos:

Yup I'm Asian

Things to note -

I never had a coach since i started.

Learned everything myself

Only 1 Year since i started

7 Iron 170 Yards

8 Iron 160 Yards

9 Iron 150 Yards

PW 140 Yards

(This is with range balls and range mats - No compression and wind)

Things to say.

I'm sorry if i have offended anyone by commenting in this forum earlier on. Just want to express my feelings and thoughts as a 19 years old who have not much financial support and accessibility i am proud to say that within my means i can play good golf within a year. All i ever did was practice hard and smart so for those who started 7 - 10 years ago you should unarguably be 5x better than me.

So therefore my thoughts were implying that golfers with 5-15 years of game time and exposure should be able to swing a conventional swing at least. Hence my sarcastic remarks that help is all around , on-line , friends, gadgets so no excuses if you REALLY want to improve on your game.

Lastly of course i will accept comment and remarks and insults or whatsoever on my swing. Lousy IPhone camera  (don't blame me) but this is the best even after editing and etc.

Peace.


I find it interesting that your syntax is very different in this thread.

Anyway, great swing in that video.

Good swing though!

Taking the above advice may lead to destruction of your golf game. Laughing at it may reduce stress.


would like to see a DTL swing, especially considering all your comments on mike's thread about how horrible his positions are, and what you think a good one is like.

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.. 

2013: play in the US amateur qualifier

 


And you call yourself a golfer right?  Look at that shirt...  No one would ever believe you play golf wearing that shirt.  DO YOU EVEN OWN SOCKS?  I bet it stinks to have to ride in the same cart with you for even 9 let alone 18 holes.  Oh, and lose the red grip.  No one can play golf with a red grip.

All of the above sounds pretty ****ing stupid doesn't it?  Not any different than the gibberish you're spouting.  Tone it down a bit and the people around here would probably help you a lot.

haha weird guy bet your swing isn't half as sound as mine

Ohwells haters got to hate , by the way please try not to make a fool out of yourself?

Thanks!


Is it possible that the swing posted does not belong to the OP? That's about the only thing that would make sense out of all the childish posts.  Generally, as one sees improvement in their game, they should feel less need to belittle others, and might in fact try to offer help.  I haven't seen any of that here, which makes me wonder whether he just took a video of an accomplished golfer at the driving range.

my gosh another one appears.

Skype? Or face time? I'll do a live one for you :D  DTL? FO?

The reason i dare to make so much noise on other people's post because i know I've been through that phase and successfully overcame it and i know why and how because i am self learned and not listening to other people's advise/teaching

So instead of trying to belittle me how about just give your honest comments? Bad or good there's always room for improvement!

HA! All you've been doing is belittling everyone else! Sounds like pot calling the kettle black... except the kettle is white.

I don't think anyone wants to help you, because all you do is treat everyone here like an idiot... like assuming gwlee7's swing is worse than yours because he doesn't like the way you act like a child.

Nobody has any problem with your golf swing (except for losing a yard or two by falling back at the end of your driver swing). Everybody has a problem with your know it all attitude. I know some really good golfers with State Amateur Championsips, collegiate wins and All-Conference honors, Mini Tour wins, and Nationwide Tour top ten finishes. Not one of them chooses to belittle other golfers the way you do, and not one has a head the size of yours or is totally in love with themselves like you are.

Like a child? How about asking him to start acting like an adult then? If he had not given such a comment would i reply with such a inappropriate comment as well?

haha I'm sure gwlee7's actions are very commendable and appropriate yeah? So matured and responsible as an adult to make fun of a child (Me)


Yep, I call BS on only playing for a year as well, unless you are jobless and do nothing but swing a golf club and "teach yourself". Seems you are online a lot though for that.

You called BS who confirm? And what stakes are we looking at if i'm able to prove it?

And i'm online because it's +7 GMT here whereas ET over there hence the time difference.

You accused me of uploading a fake video. Then say i have no desire to receive anything constructive when clearly i stated that any comments/feedbacks would be good? Like i said just comment about it if not nevermind?

why the anger? did i even say anything?

Of course it's possible.  The OP isn't being 100% truthful about something...not sure what, but something.

That makes no f**king sense.  Successfully overcoming something is no compelling reason to deride others for being unable to overcome it.  There is a natural tendency of people who successfully overcome obstacles to be humbled by them and then appreciate the struggle.  It's the inherent douchebags who take the opposite approach.  Your rationale is poppycock.  You either never overcame said obstacles within the past year, or you are just being a douchebag because that's who you are.

    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
