  1. I've walked off a couple times, but only to go straight to the range. It was in the midst of swing changes, and I quickly realized during the round that my time would be better spent on the range. That said, it's not the best look, and I wouldn't encourage people to walk off with any amount of regularity. Better to just fight it and hopefully learn something about your game, your mindset, etc. during the experience.
  2. To follow-up on this topic, I've now shot 36 holes in a row without a 6, which is great. However, it doesn't necessarily translate as well to "good" scoring as I would have thought. It definitely ensures I'm shooting ok rounds (few over), but I need more 3s and 4s (on par 5s) to take my game to a higher level. One day, I'd love to be good enough to go for no 5s, but that's a ways away.
  3. I'm not sure I've ever felt the shaft "load" during the swing and I'm a one. Honestly, I'm not even sure what this means / what feeling you are talking about. I hit it plenty far, so I question the validity of this statement. That said, if it works for you, great. I just don't know that this is applicable to all.
  4. I think it's somewhat of an outlier, but my par 5 scoring has not been good relative to my overall game lately. The par 5s at the course I played are also generally 3 shot holes (or maybe 2.5 shot), so it's not like they yield easy scores. Still wouldn't expect to be 3 over on those holes and 5 under on the rest. I've been making some swing changes so I practice a ton with my short irons / wedges, so those clubs are on much more "on" vs. my longer irons. The changes are starting to flow through to longer clubs, but it's taking its time, so that's also a factor.
  5. Exact definition aside, some of my favorites are: 1) Pacific Dunes 2) Back 9 of Pacific Grove 3) Rustic Canyon - this is probably the biggest stretch to call a links course...
  6. The answer for me is absolutely yes. My best scores aren't monumentally different, but I've been working with an instructor to fix my "bugaboo" and the work is paying dividends. My ball striking is better and more consistent, I've added some distance, I've essentially eliminated my hook miss and my swing looks as good as it ever has. I recently shot my best score on a "real" golf course and am hopeful more similar rounds are to come.
  7. I've never really given much thought to this topic, but like the idea, so I went back to some old posted scores and realized I had no sixes on my card a couple weekends ago. Shot a very scrappy 74 despite really poor ball striking. Conversely, this last weekend I shot 70. Three sixes, all on par 5s, which is kind of silly to think about. Definitely not the normal way to shoot a good round... Definitely going to keep this though actively on my mind for future rounds, as a scorecard free of sixes means a good round.
