Topping a god damn, no good, piece of crap hybrid. I hate the sound it makes, kind of a "doink" sound. LOL.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Teeing the ball up a quarter inch on a par 3 and then hitting it fat, into the water.

Yeah, but you get more out of a topped hybrid than a topped long iron.

What kind of an idiot would top a long iron??? ;-)

holycrap I thought I was the only one who consistently topped hybrids - WTF is the deal with that ?!?!?      I've owned probalby a half dozen hybrids & just can NOT get confidence with them.    Much prefer long irons - I have swarn hybrids off for good mostly due to topping them (don't have that problem as consistently with other clubs) !!

I don't do it anymore but for the longest time it was almost a given. I think it's because my brain could not commit, am I sweeping or am I striking down, so I'd kinda try to do both at the same time as I looked up to admire my soaring ball flight. DOINK. Now I hit down on those ******* like they're wedges and it's all good.

gotta say it's a toss-up between decelerating through a pitch shot that shanks off the toe of the club, or blading my bread-and-butter 100yd shot (perfect distance with my GW).

The 18th at my home course is a par-4 with a slight curve to the left and an approach shot over water.  Too many times I've bombed a drive leaving me less than 100 in and caught that shot thin or fat because the water was in my head.  It can be a real card killer.

Screwing up a lag putt. I expect my second putt to be close enough to take the pressure off, when its not I'm pissed at myself. Shouldn't have to be superman to get it with 2-3 feet from a distance.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

The 60-90 yard approach after completely over-clubbing on the previous shot.  There's nothing more frustrating than hitting a perfect drive on a short par 4 and having to take a 75% swing, knowing full well that I should have hit a hybrid and left an solid 105-115 which is a much easier shot for me. I'm not a super long hitter either, so I'm never going for par 5s in two, but I'm always going Driver/5I to about 60-70 yards, when I should be going Hybrid/6I then PW or 9I from 115-140.

The worst has to be what happened to me yesterday...

Par 5, crush my tee shot around 290, which left me about 215 out... Know that I have a chance to be on the green in two with my hybrid, and then yank it straight left!!!!!!!!!!!!

DAMMMMNNNNN IT!!!!!!

I had several rounds in a row last season where I would have between 175-215 into par 5s and duff a long iron.  Incredibly frustrating.  At one point I counted 5-6 par 5s in a row where this happened (only counting par 5s where I had an iron in my hand with a chance to reach in two).

dubbing the short pitch/chip shot - doesn't have to be close, but I want a clean hit - straight reference to the "what's your most inconsistent shot" thread

  • decelerating and just mishit
  • or the blade/skull

both stink equally

Not sure If this counts as a "blow it" shot but the result is less than pleasing.  I hate driving into a water hazard that splits the fairway.  I can stand bad drives that end up in the water, but when I knock one right down the pipe only to have it roll into a water hazard I get very frustrated.

Yeah, that's like fall golf or night golf with lights. Smack a beauty dead center and never find it.

      Of course there's not a simple or knowable answer here. But the whole Caitlin Clark phenomenon is a nice example IMO. Suddenly there was wall to wall media coverage and national attention and... the women's tournament got similar ratings to the men's and much higher ratings than the men in the final four. With every indication that there will be some portion of the uptick that remains going forward. And there's the whole element that Sue Bird brought up. That basketball needed a pretty enough white superstar guard. One who looks like the "cute little white girls" that describes most of the soccer USWNT that's been able to achieve much higher popularity than any version of women's basketball, which is dominated by black players and none of any race who could be described as little... I do think women's sports are in a good place to start taking off more though. It's really only in the coming 5-10 years that the majority of girls will start to come of age with post Title IX grandmothers (as in their grandmothers were allowed to be serious athletes). I don't follow men's or women's basketball much, but in golf for sure the women's tour has gotten much deeper over the past 20 years and only looks to keep going in that direction. I've heard the same about women's basketball. And the patriarchal attitudes that socialized girls out of sports and everyone out of women's sports fandom aren't gone but have def diminished.

      I have nothing to add other than I freaking love her swing and I think she's hot as hell and some of my golfing buddies disagree so I fought them

      I’m not sure I agree. It’s just what the majority find more entertaining. Most people prefer women’s gymnastics over men in the Olympics. How much hype is there with the men’s compared to the women’s? I bet you can rattle off several big names in women’s gymnastics and only a handful of men. Women’s tennis …same thing. And sure enough, their purses are the same. However, WNBA, awful…LPGA, not near as much interest than PGA. Don’t think it’s really that complicated IMO.
