Thanks for the links man!!

This may be a stupid question but what is KZG???

Well, last weekend I shot 80 on my buddy's simulator from the pro tees at Riviera!! The weather was crappy and that was our only option. It is fun but takes longer than real golf.

I live in Western, TN and I am looking for the best place to get a good club fitting. The only thing I have ever actually been fitted for is my driver. I basically got on the launch monitor and tried a few different drivers and found the one that I hit the best. I am looking for a more complete fitting session. I want to make sure that my driver, shafts, irons, lie angle, ball, etc...are the best possible for my swing patterns. I really want to concentrate on taking my game to the next level this year, and the clubs are the last thing I want to worry about. There used to be a place in Memphis called "Z-golf" but I don't think they are in business anymore. Anyone in here from the area have any suggestions? I don't mind driving to Nashville or Memphis. I am about 30 minutes south of Jackson. Thanks in advance

I also use the same wedge no matter what green side bunker I am in. I usually don't open my stance that much...I am more of a square stance bunker player. I adjust distance based on swing length and speed more than anything. My length doesn't change as much as my swing speed does (still very minimal change). The club face is determined based on how deep the bunker is and how much green I have to work with. FOLLOW THROUGH is definitely a must!! No follow through = back in the bunker. For fairway bunkers, I generally use whatever club the distance calls for and hit it just like a regular shot with the exception of trying to pick it a little more cleanly. This is of course on a flat lie.

I would say another important thing to practice is different shots with different clubs. I would much rather chip with my 9-iron than my SW or 60 anytime I have some green to work with. It is much easier to execute with more room for error. For me, it is better to have the ball on the ground as soon as I can than trying to fly it to the hole hoping that it checks up when I want it to. I say for a higher HCr, these chips will help lower your scores compared to the SW or 60 chip

I have heard many of the guys I play with claim that they hit their drives 300 but when we play together, I regularly hit my tee ball right with them and further. I would say that I average around 260 simply because I see hitting fairways more important than getting after a driver with a chance of hitting it wildly. I have noticed that the "big bombs" that they think are 300 are usually more like 275-280 going by my SkyCaddie. So that is probably alot of what we are seeing on the message boards. Many times their ball will go high but have alot of spin that causes them to fall right out of the sky, so when they look like bombs off the tee, they are usually shorter once we get to them. Now that is not saying that they don't hit 300 yard shots because I have seen them do it, but on average they are not that high. Also, these guys that hit these long drives usually shoot in the mid 90s simply because when they get the short irons in their hands, they usually hit it fat or fly the green. I have one buddy that hits a long ball but he pulls his short irons almost every time and misses the green. Then they seem to hit their chips fat or with no spin that run off the green. And they proceed to 3 putt. I can see a 20 HCr hitting 300 yard drives. The muscled up long ball means nothing if you can't do anything after that....Drive for show, putt for dough, right?

Thanks man. I will try one of those sites and get it started. That is great info!!! I will get onto one of the above mentioned sites and get going on this.

Where is the best place to keep an official handicap? I have never really had an official handicap and would like to keep it this year. My course does not do it any more. Also, just for reference, what would you guess my handicap to be now....I usually shoot at the worst 83 and best would be 77?? Course info: Yardage is 6449 Rating is 71.2 Slope is 127 Thanks in advance
