  1. Good front nine considering how I've been plating:41, 11 putts Back nine, I four putted for double and three putted for bogey on two easy par 4's:51, 22 putts
  2. Almost hitting someone with your tee shot is also a great way to start a fight
  3. Had my first real blow-up round of the year (49/49 for a 98) and it was during tryouts....
  4. 8...1 on the first 2 on the second and 4 on the fifth, then none afterwards
  5. Yeah I thought it was pretty amazing when they showed that the club was in the exact same spot on the regular and the HG swing.
  6. Anybody else see this Sports Science episode where they tested out the Happy Gillmore swing by having Paddy do it? At the end of the segment (after he averaged thirty more yards) he said that he wouldn't do it because of the inaccuracy of the shot but that the rest of us should. I'm thinking no. If Paddy was off line on some shots there is no telling where I'd be, even if I did make contact. Plus he's practiced it/played around with it a lot. Your thoughts?
  7. 46/39=85 I played horrible today.
  8. I hate it too. I shoot mid-high 70's to low 80's and then go and have a blowup round on an easier course.
  9. So I went to the range and started laying off the club a lot which got me a nice low draw. We'll see if this stays when I play a round because I tend to hit a high fade. Staying low helped me too, like iacas said and I do stand upright already when I swing.
  10. Title says it all. Any tips on how to do this?
  11. True, he is only a golfer, but he's also a celebrity. Ask anyone who doesn't know about golf, and they will know who Tiger is. Probably, based on population, it would have to be a football(not American) player. Pele, probably.
  12. The above guys have more of a will than Daly. David Duval has struggled for quite some time now but he has worked to get back to his game. Cink seems like he is in contention a lot more this year(with a major under his belt too). AK and Rory will win tournaments. AK has had a bad year this year but he's been in contention.Same with Rory. The point is , is that if Daly doesn't care anymore why give him a spot in a tournament,like someone above said? When these listed guys miss cuts at least they don't miss it by over five strokes.
  13. 6/6/5/5/3/6/4/3/5=43 5/4/5/5/5/3/5/4/5=41 Total:84 My popped up drives kill my round.
  14. I was trying that for a while and it worked for a while but I think it only made my swing steeper and now i pop it up anyways.
  15. Do you think that this would fix my problem of popping up the driver?
  16. The "Get in the hole" is the worst. But when I'm playing a round, I hate when people drive by in their cars and either honk or scream out of their window while I'm teeing off. I'm hoping the next time this happens I hook it straight into their windshield. I find it funny though when people try to time it perfectly and they end up doing it while I'm taking a practice swing.
  17. Exactly. I got tryouts two weeks from now too and this is what I'm doing to prepare. I also go through(if you have time...don't hold anyone up doing this) a hole and if there is a shot that I can play in two different ways I see which one works for me(ie:playing each shot with a different ball and seeing which one gives the lowest score or if they end up being the same, see which one gets you closer to the hole or a better chance)
  18. Condition Variance in shots/challenging(instead of hitting a straight shot at the same trajectory or aiming right at the pin) Medium/Fast greens and fairways
  19. Golf Channel said he'd be back for the Bridgestone.
  20. The Colour and the Shape(the song not the album)- Foo Fighters
  21. I've started to notice that my consistency with my irons has gone down a lot. I used to hit a solid strike every time(divot after the ball) but now I'm hitting a lot of thin and fat shots and a lot of shots where I make a deep, and wide divot after the ball making that *thunk* sound. I am starting to rely on my short game a lot which isn't a problem because that has always seemed to come easy to me. I think my problem that I had with my driver is starting to leak into my other clubs. I am on too steep a plane and my balance is off. I'm starting to swing 80-90% to improve my balance but still having issues. Any drills to improve consistency with the irons? Any idea what else might be going on?

    Simple Question:

    Everyone deserves a second chance. It's not like Marshall who has had three and four and so on chances. Broncos fan from birth and I can say that I can't stand Marshall's off field behavior and he should still keep getting punished but man he is one hell of a player on the field. He'll get his money after this year. But with Vick yes he did something wrong but he also deserves a second chance. Won't have to worry about him joining the Broncos though because they already have too many QBs and Vick doesn't fit the new style of offense. He wouldn't be good to our top-notch receivers.
  24. I love playing alone. I'm a lot more relaxed and can start to focus on my game not other people's. I think things out a lot when I'm alone. I analyze a shot better when I'm alone because a single is always going to be faster so I have time to spare. I do tend to get into my own head a bit but I do that anyway.
