The Grandmaster Saw this earlier in the year, but it's available on iTunes now and will watch it again tonight. This movie defies categorization. It looks like an action movie, but it's more an

Alright, here's a weird one. I watched "Under the Skin"

While watching it, I was thoroughly annoyed with the pace, overly dramatic music and the fact that they never bother to explain to viewer ANYTHING THAT'S GOING ON. If I had of posted this right after watching the movie I'd have given it a triple bogey, but here's the thing, I haven't been able to get the images and themes of this movie out of my head for going on three days now. The more I reflect on it, the more I like it...

Eagle. A very, very strange Eagle, but I'll be damned if it wasn't in fact an Eagle nonetheless.

Oh, and despite starring Johansson, it's a Scottish movie and very, very un-American in style.

Bonus Points were awarded for getting see Scarlette Johansson's tasty bits.

I would give it a bogey.  Did not like it one bit.  I was a bit surprised by SJ's figure.  She seems rather plump compared to her PR photos or movie posters.  I guess that is what photoshop does to one's figure.

No explanation on the story line (if you haven't read the book, which by the way is completely different than the movie), makes it very difficult to like.

Parenting , with Seth Rogan - bogey.  They leave the baby next door and party with a fraternity.  Can you say "hello DSS?".  Did not enjoy it.

New DIsney/Pixar movie: Inside Out, skip 1 minute. Hope it's better than Brave, which wasn't bad, but not Pixar par excellence.

The Incredibles. With no hesitation I give this flick a birdie. A great kids movie that adults can get into as well.

Pirate Radio or originally, The Boat that Rocked. I love this movie. Especially when I'm feeling anti-establishment.

Of course, some dramatic license was taken - here's the true story: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=120358447

Gone Girl gets a birdie from me. Acting was good, cinematography was great and I liked how screwed up the characters were. You can pick apart the plot and the plot twist but overall I thought it was a compelling story.

I read and watched the spoiler reviews - I know the twists and turns and what happens at the end - and I still want to see this in the theater.

Gone Girl , bogey.

Now, I knew what the "twist" was before I went. I still can't see it earning more than a par.

It's just too ****ed up, without rising to the level of "psychological thriller." Lame.

Couldn't sleep, found this movie in a Halloween specials section - Dead Snow. Birdie. It's got some very funny moments and is well done in terms of its horror trope. Birdie. Two words: Nazi Zombies There's a copy on YouTube: [video]http://youtu.be/lpmJ0we9zoQ[/video]

      Low Duck Hook Driver!

      By GolfLug ·

      It is hard to roll your trail palm underneath the grip (and further up in the palm) which puts the wrist in flexion? What am I missing?

      Trail hand wrist in flexion at P1? Same GIF as above. That's tough to do.

      Low Duck Hook Driver!

      By GolfLug ·

      Yes, correct. Trail hand wrist in flexion at address. And grip up in palm.  I mean he is hitting duck hooks. You can hit them with any path with trail palm turned under the grip. I wouldn't eliminate that as a possibility sight unseen.  Extreme outward path highly unlikely for a high handicapper. $5 says trail palm cradling the grip from way under.

      By saevel25 ·

      @ChetlovesMer, I think @GolfLug is talking about almost having the right or left hand under the club. Like extreme strong grip. I would say DJ has one of the stronger grips. The V in his right-hand points towards his right shoulder. Like up his right arm.  I can see two ways to hit a duck hook. In my mind, a duck hook is caused by an extreme in to out swing path. I do not think grip strength is highly correlated with swing path.  DJ has a very strong grip from a PGA Tour perspective, and he hit fades off the tee. Morikawa has a strange weak left hand, but strong right hand and hits fades. Rory has more of a neutral grip and hits draws.  Yep, this ^

      That'd great. I love indoor practice in the winter. In all seriousness. don't be afraid to go out and get lessons. It can take a while to find a swing coach that's right for you. I've had a myriad of them, some good, some not so good. One that I'm actually friends with, but he wasn't right for me as a coach. I work with @iacas these days, and he really helps me... I call him Yoda. I'm sure I improve more because of his lessons than I ever would on my own. Finding a good coach can be like finding the right spouse. ... possibly more difficult depending on where you live.  Secondly, don't be embarrassed to post a MySwing thread. A lot of golfers are like "eh, I don't want everyone to see how crappy my swing is." Don't be that golfer. Be the golfer who says "My swing needs work. Here's where I am at the moment."  Anyway, that's my 2 cents.  Enjoy the indoor facility, but time the snow melts away in the spring, you'll be ready to go.
