I'm going to start by saying how much I appreciate this forum. There are a ton of good golfers here who are passionate about the sport. The majority of every single one of you is a great helpful gentleman when it comes to helping newcomers learn the sport.

But I must also chastise a small few of you who are incredibly negative. Again, it's only a small few, but there's no need for negativity and anger on this web site. I wouldn't waste my time posting lies or joking around on this site -- I'd rather be out practicing my golf game like most of you

In the future please don't leave your two cents if it's unproductive and negative. For the large majority of you guys, again, I want to say thanks for all your helpful advice and friendship on the site.

Most golfers I know boast a little and exaggerate now and again. However, you've got to expect a bit of flack when you come out with such blatant BS? Anyway, enjoy your golf............whether you hit a 3 Wood 200 yards or 300 yards the main thing is to be out there hitting balls, breathing fresh air and enjoying the company of your golf buddies.

You are going to continue with this charade of being to hit a 3 wood further than folks like Mickelson or Stricker can hit their driver?

In a round-about way the rude people are trying to help you (not be unproductive), yes - but in a negative/angry way.

Golf is about honesty, and integrity. Making statements like you do, does not display these two traits. Some people have a respect for the game, and I believe it's disrespectful to lie, and it is an insult to the culture of the game. It will be difficult to convince people you are not lying. I suggest you come clean, & tell the truth and we will have happy to have a conversation with you.

In my case, substitute

impossible for difficult and we'll be on the same sheet of music. To the best of my recollection this is my first post about "GITrDONE" and to the best of my recollection I have never replied to a post from "GITrDONE" and have not replied to any thread started by "GITrDONE", although I guess it's possible I have. That being said, this will be my LAST post about or IRT any "GITrDONE" thread or post. It's simply a total waste of time reading the stuff "GITrDONE" posts and would be a bigger waste of time trying to reply to the absurd statements that "GITrDONE" originates.

I'd just kinda like to see a photo of you to see how you compare to Tiger.

If you can do all the things you state, you should post up a swing video to help all of us weaklings.

I agree, I think he obviously starts a lot of threads that are tongue and cheek, you obviously can't get too ticked off by it.

I have a little more muscle than Tiger. Basically the same body type however -- tall and lean but with substantial muscle.

Tiger and I were also both 150-160 lbs previously but have adopted better diet and conditioning in order to gain strength, stamina, flexibility, etc. These traits are crucial on the golf course. Everyone gets this now, but keep in mind that 10-20 years ago guys weren't working out in gyms. They feared muscle would inhibit things like flexibility. Anyway, back to your original point... I may post a photo or videos at some point on the site. May blur the face out, but I would put 'GitRDone -- thesandtrap' somewhere and have it show up in the photo/video to prove authenticity.

Interesting that in Rubechat at KFAN.com you say that golfed at Northfork and had the worse round in five years .

According to him he hasn't played for five years. He just picked up the club and suddenly has more talent than Nelson, Hogan, Snead, and Nicklaus combined.

Not yet I don't plan on rushing things. I have just started playing and have a lot I want to accomplish in this my first year playing. My primary focus currently is consistency and perfecting mechanics. Physically I am in roughly the same physical shape as Tiger Woods (categories include: strength, flexibility, coordination, balance, cardiovascular).

But your imagination is much better thn Tiger's

    • I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property. 
    • Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."
    • I had two events the past two days. Yesterday I was playing a course blind. Hit it solid. Hit 9/14 fairways, 12/18 greens, 34 putts. Many of those putts were the result of balls that were close-ish to the hole when they landed, but wound up a long way away once they'd finished rolling (backwards mainly). Then today, hit 11/13 fairways, 11/18 greens, 37 putts, and shot 80. 8 over par and it wasn't particularly pretty. My big problem today was my pitching. I was inside 100 yards of the hole and off the green on 9 occasions.  1st - drive to about 75 yards, fanned a 58 degree short and right. On the green, but a good 40 feet away and good two putt from there (so took 3) 2nd - laid up to a bunker and it's narrow past it, so had 165 in, missed it right with an 8 iron. Wet rough, chip from about 5 yards off the green and the club snagged. It got on the green, but only temporarily. Overcorrected a bit on the next one and hit it a bit firm and it rolled out to about 35 feet. Putt didn't break and it ran on a bit and I missed the one back (greens were fast and a little bumpy, which didn't help, but doesn't excuse either). (took 5 to get down from close to the green) 4th - had about 95 from the right rough, hit it on the green and two putts (3) 5th - 90 from the fairway, tugged it and it got a firm bounce, chipped on and hit what I thought was a decent chip, but it ran out down the hill and two putts from 20 feet (4) 7th - 65 from the fairway, significant upslope and hit it a bit hard, ran long left against the collar. Tried to blade a PW, but it got under a bit so didn't advance it anything like far enough. Made a good two putt from there (4) 11th - 63 from the fairway, hit a squirrelly pitch on the green and two putts (3) 12th - 75 from the semi-rough, caught it a bit clean and it wound up on the back edge. Putting down a tier and it ran 8 feet past (that was actually a really good putt and couldn't have done any better I don't think) and missed that (4) 13th - 55 from the fairway, overcorrected and hit the big ball before the small ball. Then made a stellar up and down from 25 yards short to an elevated green with a putter (3) 15th - down in three from a greenside bunker (3) That was it. The other 9 holes I hit it on the green from outside 100 yards. So on those 9 occasions, I took 32 shots to get in the hole. 3.56 average. Terrible. Reason I'm posting this in here is to see if anyone has any suggestions for how to work on my contact with pitch shots. I don't have access to a grass range. Only mats and it's easy off a mat. Partly I think my problem is I've hit it off mats so much this winter that I've lost my judgement on where the ball is versus the ground because of the leeway granted. Open to ideas. I also suspect that under pressure I stand a bit closer to it and then get steep and hit down on it and it puts me in a bad place, but I can't seem to get myself to not do that.
