I vote no dropping is great it gives a chance for a lie. sometimes I dont take a drop because I know the lie will be bad a good example is water in a bunker, a drop will certainly plug the ball and playing in water is not difficult with a bit of practice. another it a cart path surrounded by big rough.

I'm sorry I dont really understand all of this. Yet I feel there are rarely bad instructions but often many many poor students. I'm one of the poor students. I changed golf instructors once to have the same version again and said to myself "Really, I still have not even achieved 1% of what I was asked and that I paid to know. This was my benefit of changing pro instructor. A big "weak up dude" slap in my face. Another benefit was having different words for basically the same thing. That helped after digestion of the big "weak up dude" slap in my face. I think Golf is very kinesthesic sort of thing and feeling is often described yet undescriptable, versus the static positions that are very imagery and factual...things like that. Image is easy, getting the feel to the image is not. example I guy says "move your hips like a pro" but that is purely impossible to meet movement with those words. A hip will move as a reaction to leg work or other etc. you just can't move hips alone, it's physical, hips dont have muscle or ground attachement without considering 150++ other features in you body and outer ody traction of WTF you have in hand, then add gyroscopic mouvement, circular trajectory, etc etc. "move your hips" : So this is a very very stupid and very very wise thing to say. Yet I dont think it is possible to say : move your hips by using a 1/4 pound right foot pressure versus a 1/2 kilo counterbalance of left arm down mouvement pulling 5 pounds (PW) or 8 pounds (4 irons) that each become 75 pounds just about if a 80 mph club swing exist at 1/4 DS and 95 mph at impact yet only if the arm is a minimum flat and shoulder mouvement is minimum over the top by letting your back 10° to the target line and tens your abdominal to carry 2 dozen eggs etc.. buy the way keep your wrist armed until release only of the right wrist, you will feel the thing, dont even think about this... It is possible though to say a bunch of things in chemistry. Yet a lot can be right as well until proved very wrong.

the site I posted above was really easy and worked for french courses. I can't believe this is the only guy doing this. somehow the guy got the algorythme of google earth in his drawing material. everything was calculated automatic. you just place the tee mark and a flag in the middle of the green and the get any distance to and from those marks so if you pulled a line from the tees it would give you every 10 yard mark etc. same from the green centers. If you search the course in the region 34, then click massane and look for the one i've done you can see how this is great for tee to green strategy.

if your playing around the green take the putter with you. Obviously you are playing to end up putting wy go back and forth to get the obvious material needed for the next shot ? in france this is a 2 minute loss per hole and per person with old timers walking slow and missing shots because unable to prepare the putt walking back and forth o get the putter they obviously were going to play on the next shot after a chip pitch/bunker shot.

230 yards thats 207 meters carry about so passing the ditch is a really really good 3 hybrid. a naturally good contacted 3 wood any type of not badly contacted drive. unless wind is involved. I feel the ditch is almost not in play from a back tee position I would have the tee more in the 250-260 yard range to make you think it over really hard. I'm a more lay up guy though. would prefer to lay up if needed, take double and most birdies out of the game and welcomes par and bogeys.

yardage 2,0 was a great site for this. if anyone knows of an equivalent ? http://www.bastok.fr/yardage/bin/ you snap shoot picture of holes on google. the the device enable to position tees, flags and stuff then drag distances from this points. it doe'snt seem to work anymore the upload of images gives an error. there are still past book made though.

TM RBZ stage 2 driver, stiff stock shaft and 9,5 ° club head. easy to play. irons are titleist ap2 2012 with DG300S shafts 4 to PW. hard to play well. took them out of a closet this winter to change from my mizuno mx25 nippon reg shafts. (easy to play but a bit soft shaft on longer irons, they bend hard when off plane).

2015 average 1,2 birdies per round for 82 strokes average (+10)

he would probably prefer to play on tour if he could imitate woods swing to that point. it's so recognizable. for me that is totally him. could be a video trick set up. but that's still woods with that club and those swing characteristics.

yes but in a bunker this was not always the case I believe this was modified in 2011 or 2013. anyway I was certain that it was my ball I had sent it there when I flew the green. actually I was in the bush just 2 yards behind. the ball I played was sent by an AH that played while we were looking 1 minute for a players ball. indeed especially wedge shots. I do re do the line if ever I dont loose

I use a line m up to putt so my balls have a line, blue, red or black. then I add a bit or marking on the sides as one I played the wrong ball, same type and number but once on the green the ball didn't have my line, I though it was hidden by the sand. 2 stroke penalty.

there is a old player in my club one armed. courses with the pro made him play good bogey golf. he does also have cut off clubs and lighter shafts and head types I believe.

+3 from forward tees. 5 birdies, 2 doubles and a few bogeys here and there. thank god, yesterday I shanked a SW then reviewed my hole game playing worse and worse and shaking 4 mores times. played +22

happened at lot. just right in the lag and ball. kept the wrist armed well, dragged the wing, didn't hit with hands, no release ever. hit the sweet spot. huge carry. about 50 meters all day farther than the group. but then the next days are there. very handsy. poor contact. want to hit it. poor coil, poor positions etc. back to 250 yards at most. miss green a lot. poor short game and putting for the same reasons that reason can't make me do it right.

i have a RBZ stage 2 hybride 19°. love it and hit it huge. my 220 yard carry club for long par 3s. I use it a lot on the tee for shorter holes as well.

paradoxal bank fact : in our banks in france if you take a mortgage of 100 000 euros for 20 years at 2,5 interest rate you will probably pay close to 30 000 euros of interest. this seams huge to customers. nevertheless the bank might loose money or have à max a 200 euros margin per year. the only way we make money is on the mortgage insurance policy part and getting a long time customer in the bank.

sick maybe. like if I had the runs lol. wouldn't give up on a simple injury though.

do you need a cart to play ?

I love the NXT ball. I can't compress as well a prov1 sont I dont play them. I find the NXT has more tolerance and yet sufficient control.

the group should have taken 2 shots for slow play though.

well the family names sound of a francophone origin so the beret is appropriate and probably a personal touch. it could be a US navy seal thing though :)

can't say it's Sergio because he is the example of total counter performance. he rarely got close in a major. i'm more for mickelson.

a great take away and swing from a frenchman alexander levy. it's a great example to follow start the video at 2:30 to see this neutral work begin. the club face seams closed on the line of the BS but it is not, dont be fooled, it stays totally square to the arms rotation. the comments are "great takeaway", lots of lag from wrist cock, great high launch on log irons and woods + spin from players head staying behind the ball at impact. total release and whip. (sorry I dont know how to insert the video on this forum)

internet, games and such are time consuming. we know that. new pleasure, new time allocation. games are great ! therefore less time for sports (sports being a not so old time allocation anyway). This was the case in volley ball 18 years ago. (played in nationals in france and kids started to be, not rare, just a bit less numerous although human population expands like mold on french cheese. so we lost 5% per year net at least). remember that sports were time consuming to family time, chores and rare holidays and such 100 years ago but there was not much to do for pleasure at that time. sports were the thing. now it's not. sports just like mass market automobile are not more than 1 century old we can't forget this. even mass soccer date early 1900's enven automibile consumed a huge amount of our time. And instead of going faster we just went to live farther and farther from work for cheaper housing and our work did the same and went farther from housing for cheaper installations and reduced taxes. on this point we basically pay more and more and spend more time on work for less work net.

to get into short game talk you need to hit it closer to the green than average. spieth is a bit from mars in driving not so long. yet he sparks his 3 irons 250 yards within 6 feet at hawai this week. thats long and straight. he putts good but really gets its close or on the right side to putt at. + he gets risk (double bogey) totally out of play (never seen him double yet). for me he is more game wise than others. therefore he drives with less pressure and putts freelance.
