A friend of mine hit slightly behind the ball last weekend with a 4i. [URL=http://thesandtrap.com/content/type/61/id/75380/] [/URL]

Did this the other day on the 1st hole with a 3 iron on a 200 yard par 3, mine went about a yard but didn't make it of the tee box. Then it started raining and i knew it was just gonna be one of those days ;)

Played the course I work at today.. Some holes have houses that are 15-20 yards off the fairways. Long par 5 about 570 and I'm on the tee with driver.. Been hitting it well lately but just got one of those feeling that I was uncomfortable on the tee box.. Proceeded to block it wayyyyyyyyyy left off the roof of a house into a woman's patio.. The husband came out with a club and hit my ball into the lake along the other side of the fairway... Thanks

I’ve got two:

1) I was playing with my dad, brother and grandpa, and on the 2nd hole, my brother takes a huge practice swing and sends the club flying out of his hand, landing about 20 yards in front of him. My dad appears frustrated, and I’m trying to hold in a laugh!

In the same round...

2) On the 16th hole, my grandpa says, “Maybe if I swing harder I’ll hit it further.” I said, “Uh oh”. He topped it SIDEWAYS between his legs, ended up about 5 feet to the left of where he teed it up. I was laughing so hard I was in tears!

    • Day 35 (15 Dec 25) - Short session today focused on exaggerated weight shift using left heel trigger.  Hit a few pitches using the process to help capture the feel. 
    • Day 125 12-15 Half swings with flow drill. Focused on rhythm, loading trail side then getting to lead side correctly. Hit a few foam balls but mostly drilling without ball. 
    • Never practiced golf when I was young and the only lesson ever taken was a driver lesson. I feel like I'm improving every year. However, the numbers don't support my feeling about improving. I usually drop to 12-13 during the summer while playing the familiar courses around home and then go on golf trips in the fall to new courses and increase to end the year between 15-17. Been a similar story for a number of years now but hey, it's the best thing there is in life so not too bothered but reaching 9.9 is the objective every year. Maybe a few lessons and practice could help me achieve it since I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, just playing and never practice.
    • I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.  
    • Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity.
