I've said this a few times to that. "I'm 2/3 water, but you don't see me splashing down the drain"

If I hit the fairway, "Hey diddle diddle, hit it down the middle". If I leave a putt short, it either has lace on it or I'm Alice If I putt and I'm still away, it's still a "U za".   U z

Some of my favourites are the names of famous people used to describe golf shots:-

An " Yassar Arafat" = Short, ugly and in the sand

An "Adolf Hitler"  = Two shots in the bunker

A "Princess Grace" = Should have used a driver

A "Princess Diana" = Shouldn't have used a driver

A "Kate Hudson" = A little short, otherwise perfect.

And for putting.......

A "Rock Hudson" = Looked straight, but wasn't

A "Robbie Williams" = Looks bent, but was straight

An "Elton John" = A big bender that lips the rim.

A "Mick Jagger" = A big lip out

"You can talk to a fade but a hook won't listen." (Trevino) "Oh, since you hook the ball you will never be any good at golf." (My best friend when I first started playing...and it appears he was correct) "Take 2 weeks off and then quit the game altogether." (? I heard it in the Bobby Jones movie but mistakenly thought it applied to somebody else)

(Trevino)

"Oh, since you hook the ball you will never be any good at golf."

(My best friend when I first started playing...and it appears he was correct)

I would tend to disagree with these two, provided that it's a controlled big draw. On a wide open course you can tear the thing to piece hitting big, long hooks all day. Tree-lined courses require more accurate shots, but otherwise I will usually hit a large draw (15-20 yards) for two reasons:

1) I know it's going to turn from right to left 100% of the time

2) I can consistently hit it and know how to aim it

On topic, my favorite saying is "Better lucky than good!"

Thin to win

I was about to say. Erik got me saying that now.

If I hit the fairway, "Hey diddle diddle, hit it down the middle".

If I leave a putt short, it either has lace on it or I'm Alice

If I putt and I'm still away, it's still a "U za".   U za still away.

My dad always says, "Hit it Alice" when he hits a  putt that comes up short.

I like yelling FORE super loud after someone tops a driver.

You would :-P

Everything you think of after the top of your backswing to add yards will cost yards.

Whenever I take a provisional that is a good shot (which is most of the time): I need to remember the old Chinese proverb - hit second shot first.

      First Season With Blades - Let's Discuss

      By tomfig · Posted

      I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙

      My Swing (Tomfig)

      By tomfig · Posted

      Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
