Play ready golf, yell fore, and look to your left and right before talking loudly to mess up someone in another fairway. Had to wait 5 minutes to tee off last week after 2 carts came into the edge of our fairway looking for a ball yelling between each other. I wanted to punch them.

First things first you stand very unnaturally with your arms very straight. When addressing the ball you want ur hands to hang comfortable, when you get to that spot, hold the club normally. Also i'd get just a bit more bend in the knees. Let me know if this helps, once that feels natural can give you some tips on swing plane, path, blah blah blah. You have potential

Decided to completely take the week off. Have been pushing myself hard lately and have been getting run down.

Check craigslist for a sack of used balls, make sure they are atleast somewhat newish and not old old golf balls that aren't even made the same anymore. Once you can get into the 80s I'd say its time to buy new golf balls or refurbished in good condition.

I very seriously doubt they would not allow those putters as they are so commonplace. I don't see them adding an advantage either just comfort for some people.

When I was about 13 I was on the driving range and the place I was at had very narrow stalls. I was trying to practice different takeaways and as I was working on inside out the man behind me leaned down and I hit him in the forehead with a 3 wood and knocked him out. Still feel bad about it he had to get an ambulance ride. I didn't know how to react because I was so young.

can you post a slow-mo for us? I really can't tell very well from the full speed. Also try to get a camera angle from behind. Will help as best I can once you do. :)

I find that when I start to zone out its usually because im hungry or getting dehydrated. I always carry a few protein bars and also gatorade and a water to keep me fresh. Helps on those hot days.

i'll have to choose the us open not only because it just happened, but because I think its more difficult then the british open only slightly and you have to be incredibly accurate to win at it.

I think i'm on plane fairly well i'm just coming off with a low draw for most of my shots. I used to have no problem hoisting my 3 iron up to land softly now I can't. Dunno.

hell ya buddy, first concert was a decade of punk outside LA in the desert but since then been to a ton of metal concerts and I play drums for a death metal band.

Playing in a scramble today with 3 good friends and good golfers, we're hoping for at least a 59 :) would be cool

I brought it back incredibly funny but I squared it for my usual gentle draw. Same hit in all 3 shots basically just working on getting rid of the looping at the top to get a more stable swing with better balance and control.

Hope you enjoy :)

i've had a caddie for a couple amateur events for fun mainly. Always the players responsibility to make sure his caddie is acting correctly and the bag is ready to go at the beginning of the round. Ultimately the blame is on Lara for having 15 clubs but trying to hide it is dishonest. He deserves the dq for his caddies actions unfortunately even if he didn't know what he was doing.

I think that's something stoners just make up for an excuse to smoke wherever they want.

Not everyone's religious there Harmonious let it go was a joke obviously. Not being religious but knowing a lot about it, its not your job to judge other people, its gods. Now onto the thread, I wish golf teachers took their job seriously, but most of the ones i've seen have been very lazy and it took me till about my 8th teacher before I was happy with who I found. Granted its been a while since i've had a lesson but I should go back to him to get rid of my chicken wing :)

Think about it, if someone yells the same thing or something stupid after you hit the ball everytime would you be able to let it not get to you? I doubt it, go ahead and play with your friends and have them yell something a split second after you hit it everytime and watch as you hit a 102 instead of your 91 average.

The problem is we have a culture compared to europe where you are celebrated for being a drunken moronic idiot. I miss growing up in Finland and would love to move back sometime but I'm not a fan of 4 months of dark and snow at the same time.

Some good tips I will give them a try on the range, The right hand I have a pretty strong grip just looks strange in the picture, maybe I need to pay some more attention to it. Thanks for the advice.

Thankfully i've almost never been paired with smokers, generally when people get high they don't really pay attention to what their doing on the course walking when you're hitting and so on.

i've noticed that with working on bringing in back more straight, I haven't hit a duck hook off the tee in a few rounds, i've pulled it but no duck hook.

I would suggest putting a slow motion video up of your swing. It seems you take the club very outside to in which is the cause of your fade. Remember to swing through the ball it looks like your swinging across it from what I can see. Focus on bring your club back a little more inside and I think you will start swinging a little better.

First things first. The video is private so we can not watch it. Second I can tell you hit it high from how far back in your stance the ball flight is and because its further back, you're probably not getting your full turn in before hitting the ball and am coming in with your club face open. A good indicator is watching your divots, will tell you exactly how open/close you are coming into the ball.
