You know your having a bad day when on the first hole of your districts tournament, where everyone there is watching, you hit an OB shot. Oh, but it doesn't end there. Its a really bad day when the watcher (person who looks for balls?), mixes up the "i dont know where i went" signal and the "its out of bounds" signal and you go all the way down there to find out your ball is out of bounds and go back. To end on a good note, top your provisional, oh did i mention this is still in front of everyone. I'm glad this was a huge and important tournament.

I had 230 yards in to a par 5, where I needed a good score. I decide to hit a little much club, so a three wood. I push it slightly, but hit it solidly. It hits a mound left of the green and bounces to 10 feet where I had an eagle putt. This was after a great drive. I missed the putt :P but best three wood of my life

Also, what you can do is don't hinge your wrists but when you go to impact, you can flip them through. This works really well.

True, who really are the best golfing countries? explain?

Well recently, I tried a new technique that I came up with which is where you have the club angled back for a flop, but when you take it back, you don't break your wrists and I seem to get more consistent contact. It's a weird feeling, but it works. It only works if you really use your core on chips (thanks to stan utley). Anyways, I'm wondering if anyone else has tried this or if this is actually a real kind of shot. Thanks

For accuracy, it helps to make your driver swing not quite as long. It looks like your arms get a little past parallel, which is pretty long (john daly like). If you have accuracy problems then I reccomend making it a tad bit shorter. You can still get the same amount of distance, you just need to use all your core rotation.

It's not meaningless because I decide to make a bigger categories, it wouldn't make sense to list a country with only some good players against a little because then it's too easy to answer. Why not give the voters something to contemplate? Anyways, It's my poll and you can go make your own

This isn't about geography, it's about the the amount of good golfers in a countries. And your example is terrible. This is nothing like New York against the World. There aren't a ton of great golfers from South America yet there are tons from England. It'd be silly just to list columbia just because camilo. Might as well combine them with the Argentineans so they have a good number of players. It's the best fair way to divide up the poll options. Thank you very much

aussies too, adam scott, geoff ogilvy, aaron baddeley, stuart applebee, robert allenby and the whole gang

This shows that wilson really were the clubs to have not too long ago

I'm grouping the northern irishmen w/ the irishman, and there are enough players from Scotland and England so I don't have to group them. I thought about ungrouping the Asians, but decided against it.

You choose out of these, other can be any other countries.

I think the masters is just like anything that is a little more upscale. There is a certain approach to stuff like the masters that is a little calmer and has its own sense of class. the masters is very sacred and has many memories while the us open can be a little louder and build excitement. its just preference

if it makes you feel any better, I choked on a good round today

Very Happy Gilmore

That goes to show how the top brand names change. Thats interesting

Yeah i agree, they are kinda looked down upon, but they have strengths and weaknesses. And you're right about paddy, he is content with them obviously because he could be sponsored by any.

Coolest hat (aka what I wear): White w/ black lettering with mesh and fitted Titleist hat

Nicks on your irons give them personality, and shows your past and commitment with them. Kinda like a scar, tells a story

All my friends talk to me and say "Wilson sucks, I can't believe Padraig plays them.". Yet, I have done some research and they have some nice clubs, like their new irons. Also, their golf balls are pretty nice and not extremely expensive. Not sure about their drivers but by the look of the Fybrids, they don't look bad. What do you guys think?

well if you get within wedge range, hit it back to your iron range and hit and iron.... no just kidding. Honestly its too hard to tell what you are doing if you hook slice top and chunk wedges. usually its either one or two

I dont always like playing for money but push ups are fun. My friend and i do 10 pushups a hole, because they r annoying and you dont want to have to do them but ur not losing much (maybe your dignity). As for tournaments, I would say the single most thing to help peoples golf game is to enter them. Its the most realistic competitive golf you can have. It makes people learn a little bit about themselves. I HIGHLY recommend it

I'm glad I can help!!
