Hey train engineer, toot the horn as my buddy is about to hit his drive! Where's the Nike Sumo when you need one? :-P

That course is right up the street from me. It has been closed all summer to redo the greens. Perhaps they reopened it.

Confusing post! I had to jump over to twitter to comment.

I use old Taylor Made clubs from eBay and golf shops.

Amtrak runs by the 4th hole at our city's executive course. I always wave.  I imagine I add a bit of local color when the train runs by in January and I am out there playing.

Hi all, new to the forum! Love the focus your buddy demonstrates here. My experience with other golfers has been that they are far more likely to blame the noise that happened 2 miles away for a bad swing than to be able to swing in an environment that loud!

Or Chambers Bay. 

I've played next to trains going by, it's not that bad, the grass and the landscaping absorbs the sound. You want loud, try an underground train, with the very sound retaining and reflecting environment. It's mainly the horn that's the worst and the screeching from turns.

      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?
