Sure and then we How could I forget? This is my home course and range. It's not massive like Coyote Creek but should be able to handle your length and we have a brand new short game course where you can prove that your more than just a bomber!

Sure, let's meet there maybe next week during the lunch hour. I work on Montgomery St so can walk down there and hit balls at noon or after work on a Wednesday. I'm looking to build a little league to play some virtual golf in the evenings, mainly for when it starts getting darker earlier in October through about March. I'll take some video of your swing and we'll get a bunch of teaching pros to comment on it in a group I run for instructors on Facebook.

Hey Mike, I work here in San Francisco. I'm a fairly avid golfer. I have a video blog and deal in the golf improvement space. Glad you found your way to Eagle Indoor. There is not a single range in the area that could accomodate even 300 yard drives that I'm aware of. Certainly nothing close. You'd have to go way out of the area. Let's meet up one of these times and I'll take some video of your swing and observe some of these bombs first hand. -Nick Chertock nick@golfprogress.net 415-810-5271

Oh wow I'm on the Golf Channel's SwingFix today! http://www.golfchannel.com/news/golf-instruction/weekly-fix-finding-the-center-of-the-face-consistently/

It's been awhile since I posted in TST but I want to get back into it as this is the top forum on the interwebnets for talking golf improvement. In 2013 I've decided to place a heavy emphasis on chipping and pitching as I am just not getting up and down enough and mishitting too many short shots. Here's my first video where I work on some longer chips. I was using a sand wedge which I no longer own because I left it at Disney's Magnolia course last month somewhere around the 12th hole. Bummer.

Tom: How did you do in the qualifyer?

It's a layup off the tee so the narrow fairway you see on TV isn't really a factor. The approach is difficult. I've gone bunker to bunker over the green several times but have had no difficulty with the tee shot. Great course overall, 18 is one of the easier holes.

Awesome footage Mike. Look for me on #9 grandstand all morning tomorrow. Great day at Olympic today.

I'll be a marshal in the grandstands at Oly. Absolutely no phones Thu-Sun. Unless you're a marshal.

MiniBlueDragon great idea for a video but each clip of your grandpappy cuts away as he's about to make impact! The audience wants to see it in its gory detail!

Great idea for a contest guys. I am suffering from the worst kind of bad golf shot that exists. According to Golf Digest this is worse than the slice, the chunky flub, the duck hook, the skull, or even the whiff. I am dealing with..................THE SHANKS!!!! I believe that the Tour Striker will help me get rid of these shanks. I know that's not a word that should ever be typed or spoken but with the Tour Striker it should be a thing of the past. After all, if I can learn to hit that evil club which doesn't even have the bottom two grooves which I rely on to scoop all my supposed good shots, all shanks should disappear once I learn a proper impact condition. Here's some evidence of this common miss of mine:

How do you know when there is risk of over-analysis with instruction? If you were stuck as a midhandicapper for 15 years do you think video analysis is a useful tool?

Don't take things so literally and no that wasn't me, I'm new here. I never said the whole world of golf heard his comments just that peoplein the golf world tend to fall into one of two camps, they either like to analyze and get into the mechanics or they think more like Bubba and just hit it and find it.

Bubba's comments were interesting because they help to divide the entire world of golf into two camps: artists and analysts. But the truth is we all have a left brain and a right brain, we all can calculate as well as create, and I think it's fair to embrace all of it, from 25 handicappers reviewing video of their swing at 300 frames per second on a Casio EX-F1 or for a tour pro to brag that he never practices and has no swing thoughts other than to hit a 40 yard fade over water into a trap, then hit a 220 yard shot from that trap onto the green to win the tournament. Bubba is the musician who plays by ear. Why would someone who reads sheet music have to listen to the ear player tell them to stop reading music? But there's also truth in the fact that the classical player would benefit from sometimes abandoning the music altogether and improvising. I'm glad to see these issues being discussed- my overall impression is that Bubba is trying to force his worldview of 'just play golf' onto Tiger and the rest of us who like to be coached, to analyze swings on video, and actually become aware of how we can improve. "just go out and play golf" is what most 20 handicappers are already doing right now! Oh and when TW was winning, I didn't see him as just out playing golf. He had the look of an assasin from Thursday to Sunday and was executing whatever technique he had been working on for the years prior.
