So I am at my local short game practice area. Because I am going to the range afterwards, I have my full bag of clubs which means I also have my Clic Gear Trolley. 

While focusing on a chip shot with my LW, I hear this commotion behind me. As I turn around, I see my trolley, and bag go flying by. A guy,  in a golf cart by himself, has hit my stuff, knocking it about 20'. Not only that, he also ran over my diy shag stick. 

Being the easy going guy that I am, my first thought was if the guy was alright, and not having some sort of medical episode. He tells me he is fine that he just didn't see my gear. Then he tells me I should be more careful where I park my gear. 

Still being my easy going self, I ask him not to leave until I check my gear out to make sure nothing broken. That he should have someone look at the new crack in the front of his rented cart. Nope, that crack was already there he tells me and then drives away like nothing ever happened. 

My trolley and clubs were not harmed, but my diy shag stick was going to need to be worked on, or replaced. 

I went to the cart barn and gave the guy there the cart number of the culprit, and explained what happen. He said he would go find the guy. 

There is more to this incident, but it would make this too long of a read. All I will add is, that once found, the guy denied everything. Fortunately I was not alone at this chipping area, so there was a witness. 

Bottom line is the score. Clic Gear 1, Golf Cart 0. The diy shag stick was just collateral damage.   :beer:

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

    • 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.
    • 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?
