Hi.

My name is Dave, I am a pro golfer, shoot some sick scores and sink some sick puts. I come to you with a question:

How big are your drives?

I hit mine on average in excess of 320 Yards, I enjoy hitting long and accomplish this with a nice easy swing.

Do it big, score small. It's how I play and how I live life on the courses.

Thanks

If I'm taking a full swing,I have to make sure not to carry over the green on those pesky par 4's.

Very impressive figures. Downhill, wind with and with the mindset of killing the ball I may make it with you.

Dave buddy we gotta know what's the longest putt you've ever sunk?  a 80 foot putt over a bunker?  Putt out of the water?  Or do all of your approaches just naturally fall towards the hole.  In which case all your putts are tap-ins, because you make some sick iron shots too.

Broski doesn't miss any greens. His game is sick.

I generally dial it back a bit on any holes that run east-west or west-east as I don't want to mess with the earth's rotation.

Good thinking.

Also, I'm careful on courses near fault lines or active volcanoes. Things could get messy.

If my chest is facing the magnetic north(I am hitting a ball westward) I generally launch it off the golf course.  I have never found one of the balls so I don't really know how far they go.  I usually play a 1/32nd provisional gap after that.

edit: Oh and I could be a pro I just don't really feel like it all the time.

I just hit my putter from the tee box. Gotta dial it back if it's a short par 4.

You're getting really good at Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2014.  Do you play it on the 360 or PS3?

That is a good idea.  Keep it in play and just leave yourself a nice chip and a putt from there on in I spoze.

Slice of life makes up for those mediocre birdies on par 4's with his aces on 190yrd par 3's.  He just takes a 1/4 swing flop shot with a lob to get it 205 with a spinback into the hole.

with all the gps capabilities phones have these days, this really should be a legitimate topic had it not started off so poorly.

Yeah, can't eagle aaaaaallll of them. Just most.

My 1/4 flop is only 200 though, I've been working on my flexibility by taking hot yoga classes with my Victoria Secret model wife in hopes that I can get there eventually...

      That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭

      The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
