For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years. We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area. Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow. I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee. They are going to see what can be done. I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does. Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83. We’ll see if it’s even higher, Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play. i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13. We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other. Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players neither of us posted the score yet. There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score. I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not. I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.

Got your hopes up a bit too high only to have them dashed today? A feel "expired"?

This is why you should never have any expectations when you play golf even when you think things are starting to click together. In end golf will just curb stump you.

I don’t think the water is actually magic. I don’t remember hallucinating anything, but my money sure kept disappearing!

Well it’s magic, duh! It’s not supposed to taste like regular water!

With some practice and fixing your driver swing, your ceiling is a lot higher with longer clubs in your bag. Imagine with 5 iron off the tee you are hitting a 7 iron into a hole, then after driver you might be hitting a PW. You would be closer to the green to start, potentially can hit a better and closer shot to the hole and have more options available to you off the tee. It is a no-brainer that you should definitely have the driver in your bag, though you should practice with it to ensure you are hitting it well

Day 14: Worked on pitching with 54* wedge, and then partial wedge swings with GW and PW.

That’s the spirit! Rejuvenating a thread that’s 9 years old!😃

Day 290: did a stack session. Also had a 30 minute range session with filming.

Day 5- Slow, short swings with short practice club.

Lemme guess….’ We don’t want any confrontation so nobody says anything.’ Sheesh…..Call him out and fix the problem.

Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.

Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.

That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.

This is the part I don’t get. He’s not even kind of sandbagging, he’s blatantly doing it and submitting scores that are verified to be incorrect. How he’s not banned from competition is beyond me.

He's right in what he's saying.I also have done this experiment with a golf shaft swinging with one arm at a time.one arm at a time is for me very fast but both hands together are very slow ..I got my 17 year old son to do this experiment and he swung very fast with either hand and he swung very fast with both hands together..My conclusion up to now is ; I'm not using my wrists properly but I not a 100 percent sure just yet..I will keep trying to fathom this out .I'm a 12 handicap and my son is 3.9 at Westlancs..

Day 133 (25 Apr 24) - Worked with the Divot Board today added a piece of cardboad behind the ball to help reinforce ball first contact. Contact improved through the round. Added grandson's football goal posts about 10yds out to add a good start line visual Good session today.
