Road to becoming a professional golfer
Made 2 Taylor replied to Travis Robinson's topic in Golf Talk
Give up before you waste tons of money. You're a 14 hcp at 25. I'm 22 and finished this summer as a 2 handicap. I have been playing since I was about 5 years old. I have dedicated massive amounts of time to this game over, practicing close to 20 hours a week and playing at least 5 times a week. I am going to go pro next year for the purpose of teaching and running a course, but I have no delusions about being a touring pro. Unless you're ready to quit your job and dedicate your whole life to practicing, you won't make it. I know a 12 year old who is shooting low 60's high 70's, that is someone who has a shot at making it, not a 20+ year old just starting to play the game. -
Which putter do you use?

instead of bending, just club up one when you go to hit. If you're at an 8 iron distance use a 7 iron and don't swing so hard. Problem solved.

He's hit multiple birdies today, that was his worst shot of the day. He\s one under for the tournament now.

Man if Tiger was hitting fairways he'd be unstoppable. He's still making a charge, birdying everything. This is the Tiger I like to see play golf.

Which driver do you use?

R7 Superquad, upgrading after this season to an R11 or the new one coming out in January if its worth it. -
Post your story ... how did you get into golf ??
Made 2 Taylor replied to inthehole's topic in Golf Talk
My dad bought me a set of clubs at a garage sale when I was 5, cut them down and every night we would go hit balls. He bought me a membership at a little 9 hole course when I was about 12 and we would go play every day in the summer. When I was 16 he bought me a membership at a very nice, hard 18 hole course and would play at least 5 times a week there together. We both share a HUGE love for the game. We have watched all 4 days of all 4 majors together for the past 5 years or so on TV. He gets mad if I blow my money on dumb stuff, but if I say I am blowing it on a new club or something to enhance my game, he'll be happy as hell haha I am 22 now and still golf with him 95% of the time. Let's just say shopping for eachother at Christmas and on birthday's is very easy. -

Is any double sided tape okay? Should I just use solvent instead of blowing the grips on?
-
I just bought some new Winn Lite Soft grips for my irons. I am planning on blowing them on with my air compressor. What is the best way to do this? Should I put some tape on the the shaft still so the grips have something to hold on to? or will they hold no matter what.

Love mine. -
Anyone ever heard of Yonex?
Made 2 Taylor replied to RyderJ's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
They were 10 years old and the shafts were getting too stiff for him (he's turning 62) so he switched to some new TM's. He really likes the TM's and his game has gotten even better so I see it as an upgrade. -

My dads friend worked for yonex and got him a very expensive pair of irons(this was in the late 90's early 2000's). He loved them. He just upgraded his irons to TM's last year. -
The face just blew apart, unbelievable. I was swinging normal(normal is still a very fast swing speed) and I guess this thing just couldn't handle it. Sucks because they are nice clubs to hit, I shape the ball nicely and put it anywhere I want to. This was off a low tee, so no rock came into contact, just pure ball.

Troubles putting backspin.
Made 2 Taylor replied to Made 2 Taylor's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
swing here http://thesandtrap.com/t/52584/my-swing-made-2-taylor#post_640956 -
It seems the only time I can put backspin is out of the sand, I have tried everything, watched tons of vids how to do it, high spin wedges, soft balls, hitting it to a slope on the green, just won't happen. Any tips?
-
Possibility you are bringing your club back too far, chicken winging, coming from the outside, not turning your wrists over, face is too open on set up....would be easier to diagnose with a vid of your swing from down the line and face view.

only played 9 but shot a 40 on a par 36 from the tips. Doubled the last hole =(
