  2. The "in the hole" guy is out dated, I do agree with you on that note. I love the mash potato because it has nothing to do with golf. I wonder if the guy who first say it is sitting around telling his buddies that he started it... I know i would
  3. I recently found out that a guy a play with DOES NOT count a ball OB as a drop unless it goes into the water !!! I always wondered why he was shooting around my score... Doesn't bother me though because we aren't playing for money and I am basically out there playing to beat my score...
  4. I love it !!!! As long as it is AFTER the shot and not during the backswing...Who Cares !!!! I'd like to know who started the "mashed potato" epidemic and give them a high five If anyone wants to follow me during my round and scream it... be my guest... you probably will not stay for long though !!!!
  5. Ill check em out... Im looking to spend around 100 bucks for a wedge... maybe 110 thats why i don't want the vokeys
  6. I've tried the scor and wasnt a fan... Ive had the opportunity to try Vokeys and know what they offer... With Ping and Cleveland I can get any degree wedge I want unlike with Mizuno where leftys arent offered much ... That's how it was determined .. I havent even heard of the Edel wedges so thats something I will look into
  7. To start off with I am a lefty After doing some research the two companies that offer the widest variety of wedge options are Ping and Cleveland. I play G15 irons but have no experience with Cleveland. Can anybody recommend which wedges I should go with? I plan on trying to locate some Clevelands at the local shops but I sure I won't have any luck
  8. I just regripped wit the winn dri tec midsize and I love em.... I was looking for a grip that wouldnt slip and even though most people say they do, I havent had an issue yet. Even with sweaty hands and 95 degree weather.
  9. I feel your pain man... Being a left-handed golfer is tough. I too am in the middle of replacing all of my wedges. After doing lots of research I decided to go with a 50* mizuno jpx wedge and so far its done pretty well for me.
  10. Yeah I would splurge and take lessons.... Aint nothing better than bombing a drive down the fairway... But if you wanna go the other route, I just saw that Tour Edge has an 11.5* 3 wood... Basically a driver with a smaller head... Might be what you are looking for
  11. My 3h is a ping g20... i was fitted for the set so it shouldnt be the shaft... The 5 wood is a g20 as well, that's why i'm asking... i've never hit a 7 wood before
  12. Looking for some advice I have been contemplating switching out my 3h for a 7 wood. I dont really hit the hybrid well, I do however seem to hit my 5 wood pretty good. Should I try a 7 wood or just stick with the 3h??
  13. I keep hearing these golf analyst talk about Phil and this "frankenwood" he is carrying... What is exactly are they talking about ? Is it a 3 wood with a lower loft or something ???
  14. So I read that Ping will be releasing a 2 iron come 2014. I've contemplated purchasing this 2 iron as something I could use for tight fairways or when my driver isn't working. I want something I can rely on to hit the fairway.. Would this be a good purchase or not ?? Any thoughts?
  15. Im gonna check that website out and see what it is No I'm located in a good area and every store I go to basically only carries ping and TM as far as Irons go... I can usually find some other drivers but that's it
  16. yeah I'm located in New Orleans... Most of the places around here usually only have ping and taylor made and maybe a couple of other driver brands.. other than that, nothing... i wouldnt mind testing cobra and mizuno irons but have never came across any in this area...
  17. I am currently looking for new irons to buy, however, being left handed hinders me from testing different brands. I was wondering if what you other lefty's do in this situation. I'd like to buy a set of cobra irons but nobody ever has them in lefty. I just purchased a 50 degree mizuno wedge without testing because I needed one and the reviews were good. Any thoughts ?
  18. That's all I'm really looking for. 100 yards or so down the fairway. I usually have a good clearing I just have trouble keeping it low... Gonna practice with the clubs to see which one is best for me...
  19. I rarely go for the "hero" shot, but try to advance the ball down the fairway a little bit. From the sound of it, I must be swinging too hard and get too much flight. I've tried everything and a lot of times the 3 wood may be my best option.
  20. I have been having an issue keeping the ball low enough to get out of trees when I do get in trouble... What club to use and what should I do ? I normally try my 3 hybrid or 4 iron with no luck
  21. Yeah I know it's all about personal preference and trying out clubs, it's just hard being left handed shops always have a limited selection .. I've yet to find a place w lefty amp irons
  22. The chart really helps out, but here is my question.. I have been playing two piece balls because I was under the impression they have lower side spin, reducing the amount of time I might spend in the rough. Would the hex chrome work for me if I wanted to keep with the philosophy (other than the 2 piece ball Phil of course)
  23. That's the thing .. I was looking for a grip that would slip too much and stumbled on this one .. Went to a golf shop that I Hate and told em standard size grip .. They gave me midsize and the more I use it the more I begin to love it
  24. To be honest, I hit the white dots the same as the green, I'm great whit the low irons but are terrible w the 3h 4i 5i... I've recently started reading a book called "how to shoot 80" and it has added some accuracy and distance so yes my set might have changed .. I don't feel as upright, although the white dots are suppose to be more upright
  25. Ill tell you this... You need to find a fitter that you trust.... I bought my a set of g15's at one place and they fitted me as a green dot... a year and a half later when I brought them to a different place to get em regripped I was told I was a white dot... My set up could have changed a bit seeing as i've only played for 2 years, but i just wanted to give you my thoughts
