Same for me. I get the 3 minutes of commercials every now and then but the streaming has not failed yet.....and I have crappy East Texas country internet too.

Agree. You cannot 3-putt and score well.....I know first-hand how true this is..... they all missed that green by a very small margin.

Either way is viable. I think you will find most suggest the second method, as you may find a different manufacturer's clubs fit you better than the one you may be focused on. However, if there is a certain brand you like and are committed to buying, then you can surely go to their fitter and get fit for the right set of their clubs/shafts.

Then followed it up with a double...... That rough is....well, rough!

To my untrained eye, yes. Your hip turn in the backswing seems to be a little lacking. More hip turn on the backswing will automatically lead to more in the downswing as you bring them back forward. And that should equate to more power. Right now it looks like a lot of your power is coming from your arms. This, I believe, would also contribute to your high ball flight as you're 'lifting' while coming through the ball.

I'm not an instructor, and I certainly don't have the game of golf down to a science. But it looks to me like your hip turn could stand to be increased You have a lot more arms, then shoulders, then hips.....this could be the cause of you lacking distance. But I'd wait for someone more knowledgeable to weigh in before you start making changes 🙂

Welcome! We live on the west side of Lake Palestine in Chandler, so very close! Eagles Bluff is a nice course, you should enjoy getting to play there!

My dad lived one block over from the one course in their town. He was a member and played, but I think he spent more tome collecting balls than actually playing. For the 10 years they lived there before he passed away, the local HS never had to worry about practice balls for the kids. He kept them supplied with plenty of balls for practice and put together nice dozens for all the kids each week before their tournament. I’m sure if you weren’t overly concerned about making money on them, you could easily find somewhere who could use them.

Man that brings back some memories! I played my first 2 years of HS golf with some disco era Hogan blades. They were my dad’s originally and we couldn’t afford to buy me clubs when I decided to start playing golf. So I played with what we had. They were also right handed and I’m a lefty, but that’s a different story. I remember going out and dropping $30’ish of my hard earned summer money on some nice Titleist Balata balls. The whole box looked like that before I managed to finish 2 rounds! 😂😂

Based on his responses so far, I’d say he defines it as - “an inability to stop doing something you chose to do in the first place. And because you made that initial choice, the addiction that follows is your own fault and not a medical condition.” Which is not the true definition. I can tell you as a former alcoholic, and descendant from a long line of them...that initial choice is not always completely in your power to make. This is accurate.

I have 3 sets now. I've been playing a set of DCI 990's for the past 5 years. Just picked up a set of TM RBZ. I don't play as much recently, and the DCI's are not friendly to my inconsistent swing. I also have a set of Hogan blades from the 60's or 70's that I learned to play on. Those are definitely not friendly, but I keep them for sentimental reasons. They never see action, just storage.

The putter finished DJ off!! Wow

Only at the US Open do you get two tries to make an eagle! Missing both sends Grace to the house with a runner up trophy

Don't go far, Louis....you still got a shot!

Jeez this is nail biting!!

Early on I was pulling for Jordan, but after seeing Day manage to get through the day on Friday and come back for more yesterday, I kinda wanted him to win. But I love Rory, and he is killing it today! I almost want him to post a -5 or so and watch everyone else try to keep it together enough to beat him. I also absolutely love this course, especially for a US Open. Haters gonna hate, and whiners gonna whine, but everybody plays the same course and that's nothing but fair. Whoa, Day totally hit that putt terribly....wonder if he had trouble seeing where he wanted it to go

I have one, but it's the sm-56 08. They are great, I love it. Titleist makes some great wedges, along with most everything else they make. If you need a 60 degree wedge, I would say go for it! I got mine used at Golfsmith for around $20. Slapped a new grip on it and it's been my go-to club around the green ever since!

Assuming when your hook is gone, that it is gone from both clubs, and you hit them both the same distance, then I think it would be advantageous to keep the one you hit the best and feel most confident in when standing over the ball. If it's the same with both clubs, then carry whichever one you want and keep the other in the closet in case circumstances change!

I recently went through needing a new putter. I went to Golfsmith every day for a week and a half, hitting balls with every putter they had that fit my putting style (arc). I ended up getting the new Nike Method Matter, but only because I hit it better than any other and felt confident with it in my hands above any other. I had originally planned on an Odyssey, but spending time with the others I settled on what worked for me.

I'm gonna get one of these too. I hit one about a month ago and was just smoking it. I didn't buy it (was used, at golfsmith), and it was gone the next time I went back.

I hit a girl once when I was in HS. Her and her coach were in the fairway on a long par 5 dogleg right. They were around the corner, and according to my buddies and our coach who was playing with us, "Way farther than you could ever hit it, bud". Well, the stars aligned that day and I crushed my drive with a nice fade that turned the corner perfectly. We all yelled, but the municipal airport was right next door and with a plane flying over they didn't hear us. The ball came down and hit her on the foot, broke the bone just behind her big toe....I felt terrible and her coach was yelling at me. Seems she was the star player and we had district tournaments the next day :( My coach assured them we had been yelling, and that he had told me to go ahead since they were so far down and around the corner, but it didn't seem to appease the girl's coach at all.. I was hit once, shortly after I started playing golf. I was probably 13, and out with my dad and we were walking up to our tee shots on a par 5. I might have hit it about 220 back then. Some boneheads came up on the tee behind us and hit their tee shots. I caught a one-hopper in the back. They never yelled Fore, and didn't have much reaction to me going down. Well, until my dad teed that ball up and hit it back at them, bounced it off their cart - it was the straightest ball I had ever seen my dad hit. They jumped in the cart and came charging down the fairway....my dad went all Braveheart and started running down the fairway toward them with his driver in hand, yelling his "war cry". They turned that cart around and hauled ass out of there!!! Never saw them out there again!

I think it's also important to mention, if you are a double-digit handicapper (like myself most days), don't come off that blow-up hole and decide to try something miraculous to make up for it. As soon as you decide to make some "hero" shot on the next hole, you are on your way to blowing up 2 in a row. This has been especially hard for me in the past couple months. I come off a short par 3 making double bogey, and decide I'm going to get tricky with my tee shot on the next one and try to hit a hook around the dogleg (which is almost impossible for me....I only hook it when I "miss", and that's a much more violent hook then what I'm looking for here) to make the par 5 short enough to birdie......then I hit a fade, end up in the trees on the long side of the fairway, and turn it into a par-6 length hole.... Move on from the bad hole and just try to play golf to your ability level.....it happened and you can't fix it, so let it go.

Had a cheapo Dunlop I got when I first started playing in 1990. Replaced it last week because my game is getting a bit better from tee to green, but my putting has been atrocious and I just had absolutely no confidence in it. I went to Golfsmith every day for a week, trying various putters for an hour or so each time. I settled on the new Nike Method Matter.....seemed to be able to get the ball on line better with it more consistently than any other one I tried. Maybe one day when I up my game a bit more I will get one of them fancy Edel's.....right now I gotta spend the extra golf funds on some clubs for both of my boys, who want to start playing now that dad is back to golf regularly.

Thirty yards of movement right to left? Is it pushing that far right, then returning to the target line, or is it ending up left of your target line?
