Not sure why everyone is so concerned about switching? Determine the NPR and base that on standing as a lefty(# 1 below). Make a legal drop. NOW FORGET ABOUT BEING LEFT OR RIGHT HANDED as this is a new situation. Play the shot as you choose. The issue should be : #1. Is playing the original shot left-handed a reasonable situation, governed by the ability or inability to play it right-handed? If it was impractical or impossible to play it right-handed then left-handed is 'reasonable'. #2. If the cart path interferes with your left-handed stance and entitles you to relief, then take your relief. If you happen to get relief that provides you with sufficient room to play the shot right-handed, then welcome to the 'rub of the green'. They are rules - not just punishment as sometimes they actually help you.

If you ever figure out how to hit it straight then please tell the world. If there is a harder shot then straight then I have yet to see it..

As a kid I had this affliction. Learned to keep flex in my right knee and that seemed to stop the big sway. It is okay to load up on the right side but the killer is when you get outside of inside edge of the right foot ( hope that does not confuse you ). Hit some 7 irons with your knees knocked in ( a la Arnold Palmer putting stance). If you sway standing like that... " seek your local PGA professional...."

Can't lie - I am hooked. It is fun to watch people in a high stress situation try to cope and play golf at the same time. Samantha Head is a refreshing addition... I hope she does well but her confidence seems to waver at times.

Used to be a John D fan as he broke away from the California bleach blonde golf machine image that was so boring. Unfortunately, after watching his Golf Channel show and the 'wake' he leaves as he goes onward, I have lost my interest in this guy. There is a new generation of 'Players for the People' - Bubba, Holmes and company that can keep their news items to the Sports page. John needs help but apparently he is the only one that does not know this.

Ecco - any model anytime... no contest. You get what you pay for.

Sorry but this is the dumbest thread I have seen. Ask Jack this question and what do you think he will say? I am not 'Golf Channel' on Tiger but he is the best we will see in our time on this planet.

Physical skills not an issue.. the head ... hmm may need some maturity

If you don't go a least once a week then good luck improving. I made a swing change two years ago and it took at least 20 sessions before I could see the difference on the course itself. I like the short game but let's face it. It is really all about watching a solid strike fly against a blue sky background and then seeing it hit the target. Add a little draw to the equation and .... "heaven"...

PGA is much stronger in depth.. there are 200+ quality players. European falls off quickly after top 60. I will say this for the European Tour - it is much more entertaining to watch and the players have more 'character' to them. The PGA is such a big money machine now that the players appear to be ATMs in spikes. Snedeker, Boo, Bubba Watson and Holmes provide some entertainment but the Swedes on the Euro tour are in a class of their own for qwerky and colorful.

Today 74, good putting round. Day b4 82 - played chip it back into play all day. Got to get rid of the inconsistents ... ( said that every year for 20 yrs !!)

Yep, totally left handed but play right handed... only clubs available as a kid...

I just got back from Myrtle Beach - 1st few rounds of the year but I went 88 then 75 the next day... Losing it for a day is easy... timing gets out of whack and you chase the ball around for a day...

Colin Montgomerie- lots of Euro wins but he has nothing else to claim... majorless too.

Driver - $ 250 ( Taylormade Burner ) 3 Metal - 280 ( Taylormade Burner ) 5 Metal - 250 ( Sonartec ) Irons - 600 ( Taylormade - half price deal or I would never had bought) Wedges - 240 ( Cleveland ) Putter - 50 ( Used ) bag - 100 Total- 1,770 - yikes that is a lot when you start adding up!!!!
