Must I take a divot to play decent golf?
David in FL replied to Rykymus's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
Chicken/egg. If you flip....and I have no idea if you do or not, though as a high handicapper who takes no divot it's possible, hell, even likely that you do, then trying to take a divot can help maintain shaft lean and reduce flipping. Again, it's possible to play well as a picker. The majority don't though. Then again, it may depend on how you define playing "well" too. -

As others have said, the short answer is no. However, one of the biggest mistakes high hcp players make is their tendency to flip, i.e. they allow the club head to pass the handle as they strike the ball, often trying to help the ball into the air. It's a weak, ineffective move. Learning to properly strike down on the ball by taking a divot can help maintain proper shaft lean and can dramatically improve the play of your average flipper. -
Aeration really has minimal affect on your score, and you'll usually garner significant discounts playing a recently aerated course. I say go for it!

Long time no hear Gilberg! Something I just learned... If you put some extra oil on your grips, you won't get blisters...

How good does a Touring Pro need to be?

I have a buddy who used to play off +2, and gave the southern mini tours a serious try a few years ago. He couldn't make a consistent check. -
Congratulations guys!

I've been there for work several times. Mobile is the DEEP South. I know rednecks who think it's a little too redneck....

We have a separate match play championship, but the club championship is stroke play.
