I've been here for a little bit and Just started playing golf. I though I would introduce myself so you guys/girls will know me around the forum. I live in NC and started around 3 months ago. My first time out I shot a 94. I love golf and will discuss with you guys about almost everything I find interesting. I am 14 years old also.

Hello sandtrap members. I've been playing golf for a while now and know for sure that if I worked hard enough I could be in the plus area. I'm from Los Angeles and I play golf at least twice a week. Last month I posted 15 rounds so my index is pretty accurate. But don't let it fool you, I've shot two rounds over 90 this year. Weird, huh? Anyways, it's great to be here.

Where do you play in LA?

Well, my dad has a Red Dot book, so we play all over the L.A. area including Ventura, San Bernardino, Orange, and Riverside. Even sometimes near Palm Springs. So we travel somewhere once a week and then I play a twilight or supertwilight at Brookside (next to the rosebowl) in Pasadena (my home course).

Hey im from uk near Royal st georges Golf club,
I play from once every two months to four times a week depending on work etc so im rusty all the time.

There's a Pepsi Tour event there on the 5th of Nov. You playing in it?

I don't think so. I would only play in a tournament like that, knowing that the entry fee is $100, if I was confident I could shoot like 3 under on #1 and 5 under on #2, or if I had an index like yours. My best on course #1 and #2 is a 71 and 68, respectively, with an average of like 76 and 72. So I don't think I'm ready to compete with guys that are playing at that level. Could I be ready by Nov. 5, though? Maybe. I'd have to practice the weakest part of my game (shots inside of 80 yds) like every day until then, my bunker shots (which I recently saw Travino explain to Natalie Gulbis that the best bunker players he's seen play the ball in the back of thier stance), and get rid of a ridiculous hook I have with my mid-irons.

Well, you should keep that link on you. The Pepsi Tour has their Twilight Tour with a tournament at Brookside every week. I think Wednesday afternoons. Cost is around $100.

That's funny, I played a Pepsi tour tournament like six years ago and it was on a Wednesday at Brookside, and the guy said every Wednesday. Talk about keepin' it goin! I even heard there's this one guy who's made like 50k on that tour. Is that possible?

    • Shedeur Sanders and the Gulf Between Self-Perception and Draft Reality - The Ringer The Colorado quarterback approached the draft process like a sure-fire first-round pick. After an unprecedented free fall, it was clear the NFL’s... “His college tape looked like Caleb Williams without the elite physical arm talent,” an NFC coordinator said. “I’m sorry: You can’t play that game at this level. So, you’ve got to be banking on him making a jump from a decision-making, in-the-pocket, on-time, under-pressure [perspective], where you don’t have evidence of that on tape. That, to me, is why people are going to be nervous about him. He’s not going to extend plays the way he did at Colorado. Nobody does, unless you’re Lamar (Jackson), Josh Allen, Kyler (Murray). Those guys are elite athletes. He’s not. So, it’s going to be a very different game he’s asked to play. I’m not saying he can’t do it. But that’s where the hesitation is going to come into play.” There is an honest assessment of his game. He is a pocket passer, with bad processing, waiting for the WR to get open. You throw in the level of competition he was facing; you got to downgrade him some more.  Yep, he is 100% a developmental guy because he needs to learn how to play QB from the pre-snap to post-snap looks and then making quick smart decisions. 
    • This. Aaaannnnd.... this.  Our Wednesday Night league uses that MLR and it definitely helps pace of play.  The ONLY issue that we've ever had has now kind of gone away. A few years back they started using the rule and there were a number of arguments about if the person was hitting 4 or hitting 3. Some players were pretty adamant that they were now hitting 3. The folks who actually knew the rule of course knew that they should be hitting 4. I say that and also let you know that there were actually golfers who thought going OB means you drop near OB and are now hitting 3.  
    • I've come across a unique situation for handicapping, and with the changes to 10-17 hole round posting, I'm not 100% sure how to handle it. Right now, my home course is re-doing a few holes. 2 holes are playing to temporary greens (holes 4 and 9). I played in a match 2 days ago at this course, and the person that normally posts the scores has no idea how to handle this. I'm not entirely sure what he's thinking, but it seems like he's operating under the old rules where you'd just post par plus handicap strokes for any holes not played.  I think the correct way to do this now is not post scores for holes 4 and 9 and the expected score algorithm will take care of this. Is that correct? I've poked around the handicap manual and that seems to make the most sense, but the clarifications to handicap rule 3.2b are tripping me up a bit. As far as I know, the course has not gotten the CGA to do anything like temporarily re-rate the course or to tell everyone to score net par on the closed holes. I think that means we're in expected score land, but I wanted to see what others thought here.
    • 22 points in a gross Stableford is solid. Nice job. 
    • I use a putting mirror often. Mine also lets you put the tees in it to set up barriers on either side of your putter to make sure I'm striking the ball near the center of the putter face.  In fact, I putt with the mirror at least weekly on my indoor mat. Opinions are like backsides; Everyone has one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks. But in my opinion it really helps. I have a tendency if left unchecked to get my eyeline way inside the target line. Using a putting mirror regularly keeps my set up way more consistent. I don't know if I can back it up with any data but "I believe" it has lead to far greater putting consistency over the past few years.  I also like gates. There are a few gate drills I think help. Basically day-15 of the 30-day Covid Challenge: Check it out here: I actually have a set of putting gates, which my mom got me for Christmas about 10 years ago. But you can use anything from golf balls to soup cans.  I also have a "Perfect Putt" and I like it but wouldn't swear by it. I will say it travels well and I've been known to bring it with me on trips and putt in my hotel room with it.  Lastly, I have a set of Devil Balls.  Amazon.com I'm not impressed with the Devil Balls. I actually don't like them at all. If you'd like the set I have I'll send them to anyone who's willing to pay the shipping.
