My son's name is Kyle so I like you already! Welcome to the best site in the golf world, I stand by that because I've visited lots of other sites just to see the same old misinformed, stale swing tips and this place is the real deal. If you're open to new ideas you'll learn a ton here, I know I have.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Hi Kyle,

Welcome!  Ditto everything Ernest said, and also ... look into joining our "Socal golfers group" here on the site.  We try and get together every once in awhile (it's turning into a quarterly thing) and play some golf.  Our next outing (you may have already seen the thread) is October 13th in your neck of the woods ... at Oak Quarry.

There's always room for one more!

You have no idea how jealous I am of you so-cal cats. Love to play a round with you GD.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Anytime my friend!  When it's February and you are tired of hitting punch shots in your kids playroom, bring the family out to Disneyland and we'll play 18 one day.

(Come to my house and cook one of those dishes you've been displaying in the "What's for dinner" thread and I'll treat for golf!) :beer:

Or, better yet, plan it for one of the weekends we're planning a TST outing.

Careful there Gdaddy, I travel a fair bit for work and may actually end up hungover on your couch if you open that door!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      12/24/2024 So Christmas Eve we hosted the family. But I still found some time before and some time after to get some solid mirror work in. Yay!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 85 - 2024-12-24 Practiced for 90 minutes (which probably means I hit about 60 golf balls). No launch monitor, but plenty of aids and feedback.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By GolfLug ·

      So got fitted in a 35" Odyssey Microhinge Double wide 'blade' yesterday at GG. Choice was between it, SQ to SQ, LAB DF3, Rose Axis and Mizuno Craft  (also a double wide). Apparently I'm pretty good a aiming right of the hole consistently regardless of putter type. But it all came down to distance control and the insert feel. We hit puts in the putting area for the fitting but then ended up on the aisle carpet to hit long 40ish feet putts. Which is where the Microhinge did the best for my stroke. The Mizuno was a close second. The DF3 and Axis weren't bad either but I just felt really confident over the Microhinge and slightly soft but firm contact resonated so well. FWIW, I wanted to like the lie-angle balanced putters more than I did and was prepared to spend a bit. I guess putting is the individualistic aspect of our game. Hopefully, I didn't leave anything on the table. Anyone who knows my putting knows I need all the help I can get.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug ·

      The driver swing honestly feels good. Haven't played in a/the course for a bit but did pretty good at the sim place yesterday.  The idea has been to reduce twisting shaft instinctively at impact. For this have weakened left hand grip considerably. Pushed higher up in the hollow of the palm to take out index finger and thumb in pressure application which is a major are major contributors of shaft twisting at impact. On the flip side, right hand grip is way down in the lower part of the middle fingers. Not using index or thumb much at all. It also is designed to prevent getting underneath the shaft too much at impact. More of a float-loady  'paint the ball' feel through the ball. Overall address and neutral grip keeps both lead and trail sides on respective sides of the shaft instead of over or underneath the shaft. It seems it allows/promotes moving the shaft/club unit in unison with wrist/elbow/shoulder joints similar to an elephant swinging it's trunk. It does not feel like I am guiding the club path or trying to control club face at all. Fairly organic. Playing TPC Sawgrass in about a month. Will see how it all holds up. I hear its a good test.. heh.
