  1. 1. What do you think is a bigger deal, getting to play with Tiger or Jordan?

He was being metaphorical. It is silly to think that any PGA golfer wouldn't have a swing to envy.

Still, Tiger looks like he swings pretty well lefty. [URL]http://www.golfdigest.com/story/tiger-woods-left-handed-shots[/URL]

I'd be more worried about Phil playing righty; he'd probably be scratch or better from that side of the ball. ;-) But yes, I see your point, Tiger would probably get me if he played lefty, damn. I'd hope for a few of those chunks.

I think Vijay is the real switch hitting talent.

I'm sure many folks remember this story better than me, but I remember when I was much younger that Mac O'Grady was also scratch as a lefty, and he wanted to play in the US open as a pro righty and as an amateur lefty, both in the same tournament. Anyone else remember that, or was it too many hallucinogens when I was in school?

He was actually better than scratch lefty and he has two staff bags labeled Mac O'Grady I (righty) and Mac O'Grady II (lefty).

Ok back on topic now! :-)

Right because you wouldn't want a 14 time major champion ruining your swing :doh: Even as bad as his year was, his scoring average was still 72.  To the poll question, I voted for Tiger, I like Spieth but Tiger still moves the needle more than Spieth. I also think the daughter meant the tweet to be a joke and just didn't know what to do when it "blew up".

Right, and that scoring average of 72 probably translates to a 67 on the tees and course us mortals play on.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

I'm an 8 and I would smoke Tiger if he played lefty.

You would not. [quote name="Ernest Jones" url="/t/84247/daughters-response-to-dad-playing-with-tiger-text-me-when-its-spieth/36#post_1195678"] Right, and that scoring average of 72 probably translates to a 67 on the tees and course us mortals play on.[/quote] Probably less. But you get to the point where putting equalizes scores so they cannot go too low.

      Spark League at Severna Park Golf

      By Paloma ·

      Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area?

      I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 552, May 7, 2024 Played nine holes with @NatalieB with irons only from her tees. Didn't really finish out any holes, just hit the irons and approaches and some chips.

      What has gone downhill? Have you been practicing properly, filming your swing, working on exactly what he suggested without straying? My thoughts are that your results/outcomes from a lesson a year ago probably aren't all that relevant anymore.  And carry distance is far more important than total distance. Total distance is going to vary significantly based on course conditions.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By snapfade ·

      One thing that has helped me tremendously is to spray the club face with foot powder when I am on the range. Seeing ball impact can be quite helpful if you are hitting shots all over the place. It's not the cure all, but a good little thing to do on the range. The other thing, and I will forget to do it, is the pre-shot routine. Find me a spot a foot or so from the ball in-line with my target, take my stance, take the swing.  Sometimes you take a BS practice swing with no thought. Make it deliberate.  As far as swing thoughts. I have 3 check-points. First is set-up, Second is my take away, Third is my downswing. I cant explain what I think I just know in my mind. Its a feeling that I have that feels right and experience has shown that if I follow those 3 thoughts more than likely the outcome will be what I was looking for. Now, thinking about the feeling and executing it properly is a whole different thing, that;s why I practice, I used to be over a 20 handicap, I am down to a 15.1 in about a year.  I feel like its good progress. the goal is a 10 by the end of the year. If I make it great, if not, hey at least Im not in Gaza. LOL
