A report from day 2 of the event, an unfortunate situation occurred. One player noticed that one of the other players in his group had what appeared to be stickers on several of his clubs, the ones on the face used with certain launch monitors. Word got back to the rules staff, and we (surreptitiously) confirmed the presence of the stickers. Those stickers are "external attachments", and their presence renders a club non-conforming. If a Player uses a non-conforming club to make a stroke, he is DQ. That's the easy part, the rule is pretty straightforward. The tough part, how to handle it. We considered having a quiet talk with the player while the round was still going on, but decided against it. We didn't want to DQ a player in the middle of the round, having him walking back to the parking lot on his own, as well as changing the pace and rhythm of the other players in his group. Instead, the Official in Charge, a young employee of the Middle Atlantic PGA who will be heading up their junior program this year, had a discussion with the player at scoring. The player took it with good grace, said he never knew they were a problem. He works with a swing coach, who was the one to help him put the stickers on in the first place, and apparently the coach never told him he needs to take them off. Ther4e are a few things that a player may do once in his golfing career. I think failing to identify his ball and consequently playing a Wrong Ball is one of those. Getting DQ for stickers on a club face is another. -

Feel ≠ Real. 😁 For someone like me who has a lot of twist and little arm turn down. The feel is absurdly obnoxious. I hate it, but it works. I am sure for those who get a lot of hands down behind them, feeling the elbow a bit more in front of them makes sure they do not get stuck. Maybe better golfers tend to have that motion naturally, I may be able to see how that feel became something. -

At first glance - option 1 mainly because I’ve never played a dedicated par 3 and 18 holes of par 5’s, well l’m pretty sure I would be exhausted from playing that length. I have rarely made the green in two on a five, so not getting there in two is not a sore spot. At second glance, it’s still a par 3 with 6i max. -

Especially since the lead arm pins more against the chest in the early downswing before it releases down, in a lot of these high level swings. But there is a difference between this trail elbow positioning: And this one: I wish they went into describing how exactly these two positions are different and why teachers use feels like "trail elbow more in front or under." -

#2, Golf would get really boring if you only play Par 3's. Par 5s let you have a lot more strategy and design to play with. Also.. as a short hitter I'm normally laying up on the 2nd shot.
