My wife and I were outside this weekend, hanging out in the backyard with our kids. 

I thought I'd give this a try... Is it too late to get a badge?????

 

By the way, yes I know my voice sounds funny. 2 things: Firstly, I'm just getting over the flu, my head is still stuffed up. Secondly, I was pretty excited to get it on the first try.

Is this any better than my first or do I still need to go higher?? This is my work shirt and I decided to catch it in my shirt pocket

I just had to find a lie that had some sand underneath to get the bounce of the wedge helping me.  Just a nice and easy swing is the trick.

Had to get the "old fart" legs moving to make the catch.

Needed some coaching and a borrowed wedge, but I did it.

You made it look easy!   I know different.   Great job.

 

When I practice this, nah....I've tried a few times.... If I ever do it, I won't have a camera handy and if I have a camera handy, I won't be able to do it.

Foot Wedge

Foot Wedge 74

I actually gave this 2-3 tries recently during some pitching practice.  But it was with my 58 off a pretty tight lie, couldn't get the ball to cover less than about 15-18 yards.  I have a shitty 64* wedge my old man gave me with my hand-me down clubs, and have been thinking about having a go with that and a fluffier lie...

Guess I’d better start practicing my flop shots then. Given how I’ve been doing with recent attempts, the ball would take off so hot I wouldn’t even get a chance to catch it 😂.

Shortly after getting drilled with a skulled flop shot from our own @RFKFREAK (I'll post that video too lol), I nailed it.

Couldn't have planned it any better! :-$:-$

Dude, You made that look way too easy. 

Next time, you have to do it with a half eaten bagel in your hands.

I was going to say that I am glad no one hurt themselves in attempting this challenge on Saturday, but I had forgotten about that incident.

Good practice drill, hit pitch shots with your right hand only. Not sure I can get the speed for the head height flop shot, but I think it could be possible to do a shorter flop shot one handed and catch it. Now, I am thinking of going to buy some bagels 😉

Just thought this was funny. I got an email this morning from YouTube that my flop shot video had been flagged for review. YouTube determined that it may not be suitable for all viewers and added an age restriction to it...haha. 0:07 second video and the only words spoken are Jacob saying "go ahead."

I have gotten that same thing. I didn’t respond assuming it’s some scamming going on.

Probably so. Most scamming emails I get have bad grammar, incorrect spelling, etc...that's usually the give away for me. This one actually looks legit

I figure if they want to label it as "not for kids" because it doesn't appeal to them, so be it. Really no one watches them anyway. Pretty soon YouTube will catch on to our derelict group of Sandtrappers 🙄

      My Swing (Lindy Y)

      By Lindy Y ·

      Hi! I've just joined here yesterday, I am very new to golf and I would be grateful for any advice on how to prioritize the many things going wrong with my swing.  I've been Playing Golf for: 5 months My current handicap index or average score is: about 120 My typical ball flight is: well, it's always been straight, but it just doesn't go anywhere. I used to top it all the time but that is somewhat better now.  The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: I'm trying to eliminate the part where my shot goes 20 yards.  I have torn my oblique (playing golf, yes) so these are not full speed shots however, they are exactly how I look. (Sigh.) Since I can't go play golf right now I have been trying to work on drills and small movements but I Realize I am not sure what to work on or why things are not working out better for me.  I always have a chicken wing at impact.  I always seem to turn with my shoulders / upper body and end up swinging over / above the ball.  I have only recently realized I should shift the weight to my left leg  (i thought it had to stay centered the whole time) and the that has helped; i used to top it 80% of the time (honestly, I don't know how i've persevered as long as I have!!)  I appreciate your thoughts. Thanks for looking at these!!    Videos:   I hope I have embedded these.  front view: https://vimeo.com/user110774000/review/519159426/a8284797e4   down the line: https://vimeo.com/user110774000/review/519159163/3e7b0e6c8b

      Ko Rounds Played as Strokeplay

      By Rulesman ·

      A competition is set up as a series of knockout rounds but each game is played as a 'match' using strokeplay counting (ie the winner is the one with the lowest net score). Should each game/'match' be treated as a 2 man field strokeplay competition or should each player record their score as a general play score?
