I hope all out Texas and Louisiana members are safe. They're predicting several days of heavy rains.

A very nice sentiment. Golf today began with some rain. Harvey is already affecting weather in NORTH Texas! It is huge. I imagine the coastal homes at Rockport, Galveston and Crystal Beach are no more. -Marv

I've been through this and feel for those who have lost their homes.

I have family in Houston, they are ok AFAIK. Was watching some news coverage this morning, the flooding is pretty bad out there and it's supposed to rain for days.

Reading about this is so heartbreaking, especially since it's going to keep raining for days. I hope all of our members in the area stay safe.

Same here, my family is safe and their house above the water, but they are very heartbroken by many of their not so fortunate friends.

We should probably prepare for more things like this? Seems like it will become worse in the coming years likely due to our irreversible climate change.

    • I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙
    • Day 28: 2026.01.30 Managed to make time for a few swings out back today. Need a proper bit of range time this weekend.
    • Day 30, 1/30.  Six minutes this morning hitting a few more range balls, indoors, off a mat, into the net.  Did this before leaving the house.

    • Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
