Picked up a Callaway x hot pro 3 wood

Couldn't have said it better haha

If the league manager goes to LM tools they should be bale to remove the randoms

Yeah I think so, I was trying to find it too and can't.

Haha give em the boot I want in

I'll join in so ya only need 1 more now. Just need to make an account on ESPN real quick

Played 36 at Bethpage with the team yesterday. Our 7am round wasn't awful but we went back out around 1:30 on the blue and I was coming up 18 in the dark.....

I voted yes, but I don't think this needs to be put in place for the NHL. I watch a ton of hockey. Seriously, I love it. For the professionals, it's unnecessary. That being said, I think it is a great idea for the other levels of the game (I'd say high school and down). Young players that are not nearly as experienced or talented at controlling themselves on the ice could definitely benefit from it.

Couldn't have said it better myself @Ernest Jones When I take the time to do this I end up with a tap in regularly if I don't hole it out. I've actually holed out at least one time each round the last 4 times I've played.

Maybe 30 seconds at the most every couple of holes while the other people in the group are looking over their shots anyway doesn't sound unreasonably selfish to me. That's almost along the same lines as saying that looking at a putt from both sides of the hole is selfish and slows the game down considerably as well.

I definitely don't take very long. I'm the last person that would hold anybody up during a round. @David in FL Also, I don't have a rangefinder but the only problem I would have with using it is that I like to see the slope of the green and figure out where I'm landing it and account for the roll out etc. If I miss a green and need to save par I'm giving myself the shortest putt I can.

I was wondering how many of you guys walk out your shots around the green - meaning counting the number of steps from your ball to the hole and/or the spot where you want to land it. I started doing it this season and it really helps a lot with consistency and confidence around the green. I've grooved myself into knowing pretty much how hard I need to hit it for X amount of steps and because of it my short game has never been better. Anybody else do this or something similar?

Actually, I just played this particular course Sunday afternoon and everything was completely dry with no evidence of the spray whatsoever... until I looked at the underside of my versa putter that is haha. My guess based off what everybody is saying would be that they're just messing something up along the way and thats whats doing this.

Ah alright that makes a little more sense. I've worked at a few courses and played plenty and haven't had any kind of stains like this before. @SavvySwede you must be right. If it's somewhat common there has to be a way to do it right without staining everything

There's a small 9 hole course near me which I play on a somewhat frequent basis. It's nice for a little golf after work or playing with friends that aren't quite "ready" for a more serious course. While I like the course and its accessibility, recently they've taken to "spray painting" the entire course green. I asked the groundskeeper what they were doing and he said it was fertilizer, but I've never seen anything like it at other courses. I wouldn't be complaining if it wasn't effecting anybody, but it turns EVERYTHING green. My shoes, clubs, balls, clothes, etc. have all turned green after playing there. Has anybody seen this done on other courses or am I being unreasonable for complaining to the management?

I took some practice swings with this feel seemed to keep everything on a better plane and less rotation of my forearm so early but we'll see how it works with a ball in front of me tomorrow

Thank you I'll work on this at the range later

Its been forever since I posted here but I've been working hard on making some changes. I worked with a pro a few hours a week in the spring but I haven't seen him since. I can't seem to get my backswing in correct positions no matter how hard I try. I am so shallow with the shaft halfway back it drives me insane. This was an 8 iron during yesterdays range session slight draw about 160 yards Any drills or thoughts to help get that under control? I know there are other issues in the swing but my main focus is getting this corrected right now

Just ordered my copy can't wait to work it into my game for my next season this fall

I'm no golf pro, so my advice might not be perfect, but theres a few things I would definitely say you can improve on from what I see. First of all - with a swing like that I have a hard time believing your handicap is a 20 (it definitely looks pretty good) Now for my advice, you should work on getting your hands deeper in your backswing. A good full turn with your hips will definitely help you get the hands where they need to be. This threads explains that a lot better and if you look for the videos involving the 1st key you'll see a lot about the hip turn. http://thesandtrap.com/t/30325/deep-hands-explained

I seriously think this is exactly what I need to do. I always try to get out there and start off the round on a birdie. On a lot of courses its not unreasonable to think that, but the course that seems to give me the most trouble with this is my teams home course Bethpage Red. If you know anything about the first hole there you know how hard it is. I guess going pin seeking on a 470 yard par four is just a mistake that I continue to make and set myself up for disaster.

I haven't tried them out but now that you've pointed this out I will be ordering a pair. I have a few pairs of free runs and they are the most comfortable shoe I've ever owned. Hopefully these can live up to the comfortability of their predecessors

I've definitely tried to do both of these things, the only problem is when I take the club I know I can always turn to and hit it like garbage that definitely makes things worse haha Quote: I am definitely going to try and take this tip out with me next time, thanks. I think I start to get too many swing thoughts into my head when I'm missing greens and it just ruins that shot.

I've only posted here a few times, but I'm always lurking and trying to pick up any tips I can find That being said, I play golf for a Division III golf team and I've been working hard on keeping scores low, but it always seems like if I start off a round poorly, I struggle to get myself back in it. A few bogies in a row and its all downhill from there. I was wondering what you guys do to get yourselves out of a slump like that mid round and turn it all around to card a decent score.
