Just saw MI movie with this actress on the weekend. That picture doesnt do justice. Looks better close up on screen.

Back pin vs Front Pin difficulty on any given hole
Truegolf replied to SavvySwede's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
Back pin is easier as generally for me as I have options. I can hit the ball high and land near the pin or lower ball flight and land short of the flag and run up. Tight Front pin placement is harder to access IMO if the green is protected by water or sand and the only option is to flight a higher trajectory, Par 4 and 5 makes even more difficult as certain lies on the fairway makes it almost impossible for me to flight it high. -
I would set up like Spieth with essentially the same motion use a LW except I would make sure I rolled the ball close to the hole He probably stubbed it because he was off balance Always good to do a few practice strokes before actual shot if balance is an issue

Diagnosing Swing Flaws During a Round
Truegolf replied to JonMA1's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
Never ever try to diagnosis on the course when playing a tournament. Play for score and try to dissect it afterwards on the range or another day. If my ball flight doesn't work I don't want to fix it on the course that day it just leads to big scores for me. I play with whatever ball flight that is working that day for me -
if you are thinking tour pro there is less chance. Jordan was already a +4 at 14 years old i m sure you can make as a teaching pro if you work on your game
-
I am really impressed with Jordan. i think he will win more majors than Rory. So young. Great golfing mind trumps physically gifts
-
Good luck with that Have to be +4 or better to be competitive enough to be touring pro.

Playing with really, really, really bad players
Truegolf replied to RandyBobbitt's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
I hate watching the slicer and the hacker. -
I don't like the TGM definition of swinging vs hitting. It's more abstract and theory is not very easy make into practice Also too many diverging applications from teaching pros I think the distinction should be hitting versus striking. There is always a swing

I play my 8i-GW different than my long irons. Currently I m having an hooking problem. Sculling does happen but not as much. I know that if my right hand grip is too weak and I feel an open face there's a chance of sculling. I tend to grip so that the clubface feels closed or completely shut with my right hand (strong?). The more shut my club face the more I tend to have deeper divots

Thoughts on "secret in the dirt"
Truegolf replied to BenGolf19's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
I bought Elk's "tour short game" I liked it. I'm not a fan of TGM but he was explaining his chipping as angle hinging , roll etc It actually made some TGM theories relevant -
No one. I like my own swing thank you. My swing looks exactly like Adam Scott. I am tall and lean and move off the ball with my torso.

I was scoping a new course and paired up with high handicappers who took out driver every hole. Came up to a 310 yard, narrow , with trees behind the green and tight treeline fairway. Layup with long iron was the best play. The yahoo I was playing with asked why I didnt take my driver out. I find that a lot of these guys just dont understand course management. Even if I was confident with driver, it's not the percentage play.

where does the power come from in the golf swing?
Truegolf replied to dchoye's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
I think everyone has a different feel where power comes from. For me I generate my distance from full unrestricted pelvic turn and there is a chain sequence of energy transferred to my clubshaft. However I need strong forearms and hands to hang onto this torque not neccessary to add to it. -
My interpretation is more along the lines of the takeaway. A "hands controlled pivot" is a hands controlled takeaway like a Kenny Perry who look like he's using more hands and forearms directing the startup. A "pivot controlled hands" is a pivot controlled takeaway like any modern tour player. I think its more of a rhythmic difference. Looking at tapes of previous generations golfers in the 50-60s some rhythms were odd and funky and more "armsy and handsy"

How Do You Hit 170 Yards With 7 Iron?
Truegolf replied to ronaldkuntoro's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
I usually choke down on the 7iron or use a full strike 8iron to hit it 170 yards -
Stop Aiming at the Flag!!! #DeadCenter
Truegolf replied to david_wedzik's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
Keep attacking the pins Tmac! I think thats the best way to get to +handicap. The more specific the target the better. -
Distance...Club Head Speed, or Technique..?
Truegolf replied to Hammer 4's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
The question is can you carry a 6iron 200 yards with the same swing? It takes exceptional technique to be able to do that, not exceptional swing speed. The sound coming the clubface should sound different too, more like a "click" than a 'thud" Think "strike" and not 'hit". -
If I take a full swing with my wedges I will hook it everytime. I like practicing my wedge starting from 60 yards Use half swing and move back to 90 yards and take club 3/4 Experiment with three wedges with different loft and I have everything covered to the 140 yard without having to hit a full swing
