Hello all!

I'm glad to be here.

My name is Doug North and I am the Head Men's and Women's Golf Coach for Southwestern Community College in Creston, Iowa. I've been around golf forever, but this will be my first year as an actual "coach." The primary reason that I am here is because I want to keep practice competitive and new. Now, I completely know that you have to practice the basics, but I really want to make every practice a competition and constantly keep track of scores so as seasons and years progress, we can see improvement.

If anybody has any practice "games" that they recommend, I would greatly appreciate it.

Nice to meet you all, and I hope I can contribute as much as I take away!

Thanks,

Doug North

There are some games in the book Lowest Score Wins that many here have bought.-As a college coach I think you might want to buy that one anyway.

"The expert golfer has maximum time to make minimal compensations. The poorer player has minimal time to make maximum compensations." - And no, I'm not Mac. Please do not PM me about it. I just think he is a crazy MFer and we could all use a little more crazy sometimes.

    • Day 133: 5/8/24 Extensive putting today with a LAB DF3 counterbalance putter. 38” and 70*. Putted great from short and mid-range. Misses I had were often to the right, but speed was good. I have never used a large, or extended grip in the past.
    • Day 55. Felt a bit better today hitting balls into the net working on technique. Some work on basics like flow and backswing followed by hand path exit. 
    • Day 4:  I was not feeling the range or even up to swinging into the net in the garage.  So, today I just did some putting practice at home.  
    • Yeah.  As far as remaining still, I was thinking body rotates around the spine like an axis.  Instead of pivoting, some like me, sway, come off that axis, leave weight on back foot, etc.  
    • I apologize on behalf of… idiot men. Sorry about that. Next time, tell the guy to shut up. 😛  Day 553, May 8, 2024 18 holes from the whites with @rwolfe. Windy AF today, but hit some good shots. Slid back a little from where I was the previous two days, but… I can get it back. Made a pretty nifty birdie on 12 from some pretty odd places. 😄
