Few sports are as individually specific as that of golf! Do you ever look at your golf game and wonder....What is missing from allowing me to reach my goal? I am curious of what those questions are that seem to frustrate you from achieving your golf performancce goals. So I am posing this question: IF YOU COULD HAVE 1 INDIVIDUAL GOLF RELATED QUESTION ANSWERED, WHAT WOULD IT BE? I can't wait to see what is on your mind!

What is missing is my inability to achieve the same launch conditions on a consistent basis with my driver and irons specifically. Interestingly I don't have any golf related questions..

Welcome to the forum @Dpt2005 .  Those questions are asked all the time on this site.  We have the Member Swings section where forum member can post video of their swing and ask questions.  We also have a Swing Thoughts section where the site founders, who are both excellent instructors, post material to help forum members improve at the game they love.  Lastly, we have the Instruction and Playing Tips section where general questions are asked.

What would your question be?

Aha!  Well Done!

You wouldn't be trying to avoid the question would you?  it's true for me, that I thought about it and I found that any question that I ever thought of I have already either asked, or seen the answer for.. :)

Nope because I know what i am missing to reach my goal. Buy Lowest Score Wins and figure out what you are missing in your game :-D

First) Lack of all 5 keys to the golf swing. I am pretty good on keys 1 and 2, and decent on 3. Keys 4 and 5 make it tough for me to play consistently how I want.

Second) My short game still needs fine tuned. It was much better last year.

Third) I need to really practice my putting this year to get those inside of 5 feet down. I was pretty much 50% from inside of 5. I need to be upwards near 90%.

Distance, every one from scratch to high handicapper's looks for distance, thing I found just returning to golf after 20 years now you can buy distance, clubs and balls over the last years are manufactured to produce distance, it just needs the right formulary to get results. At age 40 I use to get 220 off the tee now age 65 get 240. this is helped buy the new advancement in clubs and balls.

Missing from my game is the ability to get up and down from within 25 yards of the green.  What has also been missing is the time to really work on my weakness part of the game.

You might want to reassess your game. If you hit it closer with your irons, you would not have to lean on your short game so much.

I have no question, just an answer. The answer to every single question related to golf is embedded somewhere on this GD board, I assure you. You just need to look. You may find your answer in a new thread, a happy post, a sad post, an angry post, a suggestive, leading and incorrectly quoted post, a trolling post, a directive post from one the board monitors, a post about a tournament, a rules post, an equipment post, a post from left field, a professional post, a post that includes math, a post that suggests a certain emotion by use of the yellow faces, a melancholy post, an accidental multi-quote post intended to be correctly used but used improperly because you don’t know how to do it even though you’ve read the instructions and have been reminded repeatedly to use it correctly, the pointed post, the picture post, the post WWII golf course post, the hitchin’ post, the mailbox post, the sarcastic post, the hard post, the timid post, the run-on sentence post, the post that makes no sense, the post that makes complete sense, the post that you wish you posted, the post that always rings twice, and finally the deleted post. The answer to your question is here.

My one question would be why golfers allow circumstances beyond their control to create their own grief, which takes them out of  their own game? Then they blame their poor play on something, or someone  else.

What's missing from my game is youth - somehow I got old when I wasn't paying attention. :smartass:

What's missing from my game is. Trying to find the time to play more than once a week. Before I had kids I was able to play about 4 times a week. Even playing once a week now, I get the guilt trip that I should be doing something else.

A 6.7HC complaining about hitting the ball too many times makes this 30+HC wonder what the aforementioned 6.7HC would think I do on the golf course. :-$

To me, this is the beauty of golf.  No matter what your skill level, you have good days and bad, good shots and bad.  Even on the best day, there's something you could have done better, and on the worst, there's probably at least one shot that went well.  The definitions of good and bad may change as your skill changes, but its still a challenge.  And even on the worst days, I'd rather be on the golf course than in the office.

    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
