I played a round a couplw of weks ago where through 18 holes I only hit 3 irons correctly. The rest of them went straight right an into the bush or into the ruff. Then the next round everything went back to normal. Sometimes your bio rythms are just way off and nothing works for ya. Now how can you stop those "bad" rounds? I dont know....

How to get the ball to go higher in the air?
Garthmo replied to tazrestling27's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
change the shaft -
Yep when I used them I had the stiff flex on them and really didnt have any trouble controling the flight. I kept them stright, maybe a slight fade sometimes but nothing i was concerned about. The guy doing the demo said if you hit them both the same it would be an idea to get the SUMO2 then just because it id more forgiving on those bad days.... Forgiving is nice....no?
-
Tried out both the Sumo and the Sumo2 yesterday before my tourny with the same Aldila stiff shaft and hit them both very well! Will be purchasing one of these drivers soon but if I hit both well is it better to go with the SUMO2 becasue it still has the distance as well as a little more forgiving, or should I just get the SUMO and save some cash?

I wear cargo shorts and a nice nike, or topflite golf shirts. Nike hat and sunglasses with nike golf shoes. And I sometimes tuck and sometimes untuck. Dont think jeans look good out there but whatever.

What do you thik is a good amount of golf to play each week? along with hitting the range and chipping putting greens. Do you think it is possible to play and practice too much, and if yes how much is too much?

Be careful, you might just hit yourself in the forehead with the ball.

I find golf boring without Tiger.

Softjoys suck!!! last like 6 to 10 rounds then they get holes. Crappy -
? I dont want to see crappy golf. I want to see good golfers with the proper equipment to let them make great shots.

Well I'm on board the kick Lori's butt off the show train. And what the hell was up with that ruling she wanted on Christine? She said she cant putt her foot down in front of the ball and disturb the turf, but the couple times I watched Christine I saw her push down the peice of turf before she put her ball on the ground, it was in her left hand the whole time? And it was a teeing ground wasnt it? Since they were able to pick where they put the ball down in the white squares. Or am I just way off? Cant believe Christine didnt fight for that one. And the call Lori wanted on Sophie? Geesh Sophie should of just slapped that bitch and then asked for a ruling on that!!

Nike one platinum vs black
Garthmo replied to walfice's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
I have played both and th Black is a little harder, and yes the Platinum is softer and has a bit mor espin. Only thing I dont like is how I chew up the cover so fast! -
78 on my home course. it's a par 71. shot 2 of them this year, and will shoot a couple more this year
-
Ya weird. went and played nineand hit nice iron shots no problem. So i dont know what the hell. think i was just having a bad day
-
Ok sry for saying the "S" word. Edited and did 3 hail marrys to fix. And David I wish I could say that but never improved my lie once. Maybe I just shouldnt have had that Mochachino before the round!

ok so I have been playing my best golf this year. Well up to yesterday. I went out in the morning warmed up, but while warming up hit a couple "S" words to the right like straight low and off to the right. So shook it off, Tee off on 1 and hit a aswome drive up the middle and was thinking oh ya this is gonna be another good round. Stood over the ball with an 8 iron to hit it on and "S" word off to the right? And from then on I only hit 2 iron shots the whole 18 without "S" wording them into the bush. Every other shot "Whack" to the right .got like 6 to 10 feet high and off 45 degrees into the rough or trees. Looked at the hosel and did see some ball marks I THINK. but what the hell couses this? I tried to adjust my swing all round and couldnt fix it. Serioulsy what causes this? Too close to ball? To steep of swing? Or mabye not staying down on the ball and hiting it with the bottom of blade? Need to be able to stop doing it if it happens again.

Check them out, I think the most important thing is the shaft. I bought the Wilson FatboyII driver last year it has a UST shaft on it. Im hitting it as far as other people I play with that use 500 drivers. I paid 100 bucks
-
Hmm interesting.. I use my PW to chip with and find when i have a bunker shot that i need to get the ball to the other side of a large green the 60 just doesnt get it far enough, Guess i may have to look into one. thanks

By no means should you listen to me casue I am not a Doctor. At 19 you shouldn't have done any major damage yet but doing a power move that puts alot of stress on your left hip joint can cause damage over time to ligaments, connective tissue, muscle, bone and other parts. Just a guess on my part but it kinda sounds like you have a strain or possibly a sprain. Hip joints are ment to allow the leg to move in all directions but not really to spin too much in the socket so to allow for that movement you should stretch before and after and try to allow those tissues to be able to stretch to accomodate the swing. The body is good at giving signs of possible problems down the road. So now it is your choice to listne to that sign or not. In time if you keep doing a move that your body doesnt want to do, you will do damage. And If that leads to a replacement??? well I guess at this point you should choose ... a swing that puts alot of stress on the joint or change it to something that wont. Or Im just full of S@&$..

Awsome job, sounds like a fun round. So now just retire and call it a career. Leave the game on a high note..

Ya I should have yelled "GET IN THE HOLE" Now that would have been funny. They probobly wouldnt have understood what I was saying from 150 yards away but, wish i thought of it.
-
Just curious if I should get one and use it out of the sand. I have only used a 60 degree out of the sand but am finding latelt that the gap between my AW and my 60 could use a little something. Is a SW something that you guys use alot out of the sand and around the green? Also find

The "Stinkeye" is when someone gives you a bad look.

I play the Nike CCi Cast irons. I like them, good feedback but may not be forgiving enough for you. But like everyone said go to the stoe and spend a while hitting some sets.
