Wow, its been a long long time since ive been on the trap. Life seems to have got in the way of things (in a good way partly). So, ive got back into golf recently after a lay off due to a back injury that has required a complete change in both swing and mindset (thats the bad), the good part that was delaying my return was the birth of my 2nd son Luke in April. As you can tell, i've had my hands quite full.

So, in July after completing my physio i returned to the range and, using a new swing recommended by my physio, have now played 4 rounds with the best form ive ever had. I'll post on this later.

So whats new all?

What delights have i missed?

Welcome back Russ! Glad you are back on the course.

Ryder Cup is coming up but there has been surprisingly very little trash talk among members. There was a lot of talk about rules after the major incidents (DJ and Anna in the US Opens). 

Other than that, just the normal chatter.

There have been a few uncivilized posts, but no more than usual. Just stay out of political threads in The Grill Room! :-P

Yeah, this place is kinda like that old pair of shoes you have.... always comfortable......maybe having 2 kids under 4yrs has sent me a bit bonkers!

      Yikes! Colin Morikawa withdraws on 11th tee after the practice swing made his lower back twinge.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
