Thank you for contributing to my first topic:Shot Making.

I would like this forum to be a learning area for all types of shots. Given the areas of the world and their different challenges, this should be interesting.

FYI- I have started a YouTube series called "Let Me See What Happens If I.." about shot making. I just launched Episode 3. Please enjoy and comment.

I would also like to see what you all have posted to learn from. Please tell me where I can find it.

Let Me See What Happens If I.. is a phrase I teach that you use when you encounter a situation you haven't tried yet and have no information on how to do it. For example: You're 110 yards from the front of the green in the right second cut. You need to hit a "left to right" around the bush to get there. The pin is 20 feet back. What shot do you hit? After taking in the environmental  info, you decide on a club and say "Ok. LMSWHII..take my 7 iron(example), use a three-quarter swing, slightly exaggerate the L2R spin, land the ball on front edge and roll up. LMSWHII do that. You swing, and whatever  the result, you have learned what or what not to do in that situation. This is an example of how to use this on the course and take it to the range to practice.

Please use this for advice or specific technique.

One of the biggest thrills in golf for me is facing a challenging shot which requires creative thinking on working the ball flight in unusual manners.

In my earlier years of golf, I seldom played from fairways and was challenged with advancing the ball towards the green.
Those experiences tested my imagination and creativity and made me a better player.
I soon learned the difference between impossible and possible and when to take my medicine.

Every once in a while I'll be in a situation and my thoughts turn to "let's see if I can pull this one off"
One shot I've got down pat is a low shot on an uphill hardpan lie that will rise slowly and then draw.

It's one of the "get out of jail free cards" I carry in my bag...  :-)

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good progress. I am finally feeling like I am settling my weight into my right foot earlier in the backswing. Right hip sinks back, right leg feels staying flexed. Feeling very stable and firm in the right leg. I feel like I could do a good squat with that right leg. Very balanced.

      oops, forgot Pebble Beach and Spyglass.  And two more of the original Open rota, Prestwick and Musselburgh (with hickory shafted rentals).  And Muirfield.  And maybe a few more, I'll check my list when I get home.

      In March of 1978 I got to play Pebble Beach GC. Played it from the back tees, since I knew I'd probably never play it again. Oops, shot 102.  Three weeks later, I played Torrey Pines - South, again from the back tees (maybe 6,700 yds in those days). Shot an 87, and missed a birdie putt on the lakeside No. 18 green. In 2021, I played TPC Deere Run in the Quad Cities area. This is site of the John Deere Classic. It was early October and the course was undergoing renovation, so I got to play the front nine twice for $110, lunch included. The course was great and the driving range was unbelievable. Hint: you need to pay attention to the wind drafts before you try to challenge the cross bunkers! BTW, Deere Run is a public course. Norwood Hills Country Club is site of the Champions tour event, the Ascension Charity Classic, now the Stifel Charity Classic. This classic layout has 36 holes.This summer I hope to play the West course where the Champions event is held; Missouri Golf Association is sponsoring an amateur event there.  I have played the shorter East course three times - it's quirky but quite fun. Also: Circa 2000 I played il Picciolo, a course at the base of Mount Etna in Sicily. The volcano was spewing ash that week. The course frequently hosts European pro events. Lots of elevation change and gently rippling fairways. Left a 7i shot 10 yards short of green on one par 5. Turns out the hole had a 12-foot high alpine flagstick, and I was not as close to the green as I thought I was (bad perspective).

      Just the Plantation course at Kapalua. Not like I didn't know it, but it was a visceral reminder of how ridiculously good the tour pros are. That course is f***ing *hard* playing it from ~6500 yards. From the tips!? Then if there's wind?!
