What's up everyone,

I'm a CT native and current college student. I attend Bentley U. in Waltham, MA and study management. I play pretty much all of my golf on public courses.

I'm really excited for this golf season. I've been putting some work in on the range after classes and things are feeling good. I've really focused on keeping my left arm straight through my swing which has helped me strike the ball much better.

Anyway, how bout Haas? Seems like he's really got the flat stick working for him right now...

Welcome to the site @THException .  There are a bunch of us here from New England.

Check out this thread for Masters discussion.  I am pulling for Haas and other first timers to do well.

But anyway, be careful about the straight arm - some well known teaching pros say there should be a little bend in the elbow and that there shouldn't be a lot of tension in the left arm.  Playing golf while in college is a good thing - gets you away from the books, outside and if you can get student rates for a season pass, all the better.

Excited to have you. I remember when your school was Bentley College. Everyone I knew growing up who wanted to be an accountant had that on their radar as a top school.

    • Yes. If you choose to take the ball out of the bunker instead of taking maximum available relief… it costs a stroke.
    • I got another one today....Number 17. Par 5 that has water left and right on the layup. I smacked a drive down the left side and got a little lazy on the layup and fanned my 6 iron. With 112 to a crowned green I got it to 3 feet and birdie!  Only 5 and 15 is left for this year! 
    • Maybe I didn’t explain this properly. Back and front can be confusing.  There was no place in the bunker that didn’t have 2-3 inches of rain water in it, except for a small spot on the slope nearest the pin. If I had dropped there I would be moving 6-7 feet closer to the hole. Since my ball was just inside the bunker, farthest side from the hole, I dropped one club length backward, which brought me out of the bunker. I could not have hit from that deep of water. Are you saying I would have had to take a penalty stroke due to rain water? 
    • Day 550, May 5, 2024 Got a good hour in with a typical (for me) two-stick setup: pool noodle angled in front, yardstick on the ground angled 45° behind me.
    • Day 130: Cinco de Mayo Day 7/24 of Full Speed Spectrum training. Difficult training day after struggling to certify my warmup yesterday, and today. Finished 13 mph lower than my training speed on Thursday. Hope to hit some balls today.
