To change things up we decided to play a course in the next town over Sunday, had the 7:30 tee. Perfect day.

Anyway, so I pitch up on to #4, walk up mark my ball and go to tend the flag.

After my buddie putts, it's my turn, I walk back over to where my ball should be a can't find my mark. I'm using one of those standard small-sized plastic marks, cause I left my normal on at home. (Doh!)

Anyway I'm looking, and the other guys come over. The greens haven't been mowed yet so you can see the tracks of the ball rolling in the dew, so I traced my pitch roll and think it should be in spot "A". There is no mark anybody in our fore some can see, so they agree to let me putt from spot "A".

I put my ball down, step back and look at the line. Then I step up to putt and what do I see 18" from my ball? You guessed it, my mark. Now I'm kinda freaked out, because I SWEAR it wasn't there :30 seconds before that, and so do all the guys in my group.

One of the guys in the group things the green must be haunted. I'm starting to think he may be right!

FWIW - I holed the putt (about 16') for par.
I've spent most of my life golfing - the rest I've just wasted.

I'm guessing you either stepped on it and it was stuck to your shoe, or it was stuck to the bottom of your putter, then came off as you were getting lined up. With those little plastic marks, they can stick to stuff very easily when wet because they have so little weight to them.

Nope, checked both. AND if it just dropped down there is no way it would have been stuck all the way in, you have to push down on it to make it sit flush.

      Any Experience With Kid Caddie?

      By Golf_Daddy ·

      If your baby is crying why would you continue to play golf? Take the kid out and get them some play like a reasonable adult. If you don't like kids go to an adult only course. I bought a kid Caddie and it works awesome. The kids had a great time and the cup holders worked great for drinks. I even used the phone holder to record videos of me showing my little guy how to swing. Until you have kids you wouldn't understand.

      Article, Lessons From the Worst Golf Instructor in America.

      By snapfade ·

      Not exactly what I thought the article would be about but a little interesting. I immediately thought of @collegefbfan post.  I would like to believe that most instructors have a genuine passion to help their students get better, but I'm sure somewhere there's a guy that gives you just enough to make you have to come back. @iacas can answer this.  Other than being a PGA professional, is any governing body on certifications for an instructor?  I know of the USGTF but is that 100% legitimate?  Ryan: Lessons from the worst golf instructor in America In Tampa, there is a golf course that boasts carts that do not work, a water range, and a group of players none of which have any chance to break 80...

      Back From New Instructor and ....

      By snapfade ·

      Is the guy a PGA professional or a USGTF professional, or just a guy that tinkers in a shop and has a pretty good golf game? Not knocking you in any way, just curios. Did he take a look at your clubs and take any measurements to see if your clubs length/ lie were OK for you? If you are hitting on a full size range then the launch monitor isn't 100% necessary, ball flight will tell you a lot along with some foot powder on the club face. If all he has is a net then yes a launch monitor is needed.  50 bucks an hour seems like a good deal. I pay 50 for a 1/2 hour. 30 mins is about all my mind will absorb and I leave with one solid thing to practice and a few drills to last to next time. Keep us posted on your journey.

      At What Distance do Your Pull Our Your Range Finder?

      By snapfade ·

      I had a issue with the watch picking up the sensors on a consistent basis. I did what the instructions said, but since I have a GPS watch and an H4 I sent it back rather than to try to work out the issue.
