Santa Anita at 9:53 Saturday morning is the current plan with @Chasing_Bogeys and me.

I asked the pro shop, and it seems like there’s more room too @Shindig?

The reservation is under @Chasing_Bogeys‘s name if anyone in So. Cal. Is interested?

I haven't cancelled the 6:52a @ DB yet either. So, if anyone in SoCal wants a DB tee time for a 3some you're welcome to take it.

Ok, I’ll modify our reservation.

I’m planning on pushing a cart?

Ok @Shindig, you’ve been added. Hope that’s okay @Chasing_Bogeys?

The more the merrier!

@ShindigI was planning to ride but if you want to walk I'll walk it as well. I haven't played SA before either, I'm sure @Lihu will be happy to point us in the right direction.

Walking is better on this course. They overcharge for carts.

Sure, I’ll point but that doesn’t mean you’ll want your ball to go where mine goes 🤪😂🤪

Too bad @tehuti hurt his shoulder, but there should be ample opportunities for us as a group to play together.

As always, we’re there to have fun!

Looks great, but my normal players club is only $65 with a free drink.

Hey all, I forgot this is Super Bowl weekend and we're in So. Cal.

All I can say is "Go Rams" or "Patriots" since my company headquarters is in the Boston Area. But I think I'd get skinned alive if the Rams won and I was cheering them on... :-D

Let's all plan for the 9th! Or whenever free...

@tehuti, @Shindig want to try for Diamond Bar this weekend?

@Chasing_Bogeys said he would be busy this weekend, but that doesn’t mean we can’t play ?

However, I think we should definitely plan for the 16th somewhere...

I probably can’t make this coming weekend, plus it is supposed to rain. The 16th-17th sounds good though.

Yeah, I just went to the range to work on my alignments and they were all closed. I was a little bit miffed, but then I realized what a total golf doofus I must be. 🤪😂🤪

My local range is a pond, so I’m guessing they are open as long as it’s not pouring down rain!

When ducks are foraging in what’s normally dry ground I suppose we should let the range people have a day off 🤪

Looks like they had the good sense to pull down the yardage signs @ SA.

    • 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:
