Good advice! Think of pushing the ball down your intended line, don't hit it.

Laser's can be difficult to hit specific targets with unless you have the steadiest of hands. If people are on the green, it's easy enough to target them but a flag can take several readings before you actually hit the target. I don't have a GPS but I was thinking about going that route instead of my LRF. -
My opinion is you're beating a dead horse. Now you can closely monitor him if you wish, that's your prerogative but it certainly appears from the size of the crowd and the fact TV cameras were right there, being closely monitored isn't going to change the way he approaches his game.

favorite irons you've ever owned?
Tulsa replied to gomery012's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
A set of DCI black's, the only year they made only the black and not the gold. That set was perfect for me but a wild hair set in and I traded them for a forged set of Hogans! What a moron! -
He was deemed to not have cheated by the people who are charged with making that call. As long as you can satisfy those folks, what we all think he did or didn't do is irrelevant. Now if you want to subscribe to the theory the guy charged with making that call was either on Perry's payroll or simply incompetent, that's another story. For the history books, he didn't cheat.

Extra fee to have a non-golfer ride along in your cart?
Tulsa replied to gsu_paintballer's topic in Golf Talk
The extra rider fee should only apply when, because of your rider someone else will have to take an additional cart. In this instance that clearly isn't the case and people are following the rule to the letter and ignoring the intent. -
Vick did his time and Godell will probably let him sit out 2009 and reinstate him for the 2010 season. The Falcons have him under contract until 2013 and they won't bring him back, if someone wants him they are going to have to trade with Atlanta for his services. Whoever makes that trade should be prepared for the onslaught of PETA like groups harassing the team for all of that first season he's back. The away crowds will also be especially brutal and I'm just not sure that a team is going to feel that Vick is going to be valuable enough to offset the grief the rest of the team is going to have to endure.

how good do you have to be to used forged?

All I can say to this, thank goodness for blood pressure medicine! -

I used to be a 1.7 handicap, then I switched to forged and got married. Now I'm an 8. At this point it's going to be much less expensive to buy cast clubs than to get divorced, so I'm subscribing to the theory it's harder to hit forged clubs! -
Without seeing your swing this is just a guess of course but if you're starting the ball while lined up down the middle to the middle right then slicing I'd say that you have the ball just a bit more centered in your stance and you're sliding your weight forward ahead of the ball at impact. The ball a bit farther back is the cause of the push or mini-block and the slice is an open club face certainly suggesting your weight is ahead of the ball at impact and your club face is still open at impact. Stand against your couch with you left leg in your living room (if possible) and swing a wedge. The couch will prevent you from sliding ahead of your initial position and see if the feeling is different than your normal swing. If you feel constricted then you're probably sliding forward at impact causing the club head to lag behind and be open at impact.

Turning 50 in August, let me know when it kicks in for you, I'm still waiting myself.

Okay, you're probably sliding on the ball. At address is the ball positioned forward in your stance (in line with your left heel) or more centered?
-
Typically too loose of a flex should produce a hook. Is your slice starting left, straight or right, then slicing?
-
I keep my Clevelands in my bag and my vokey in my living room to swing when the sudden urge hits to swing a club.

Playing for whatever time you have available is certainly better than not. If I can get in only 9 holes after work, I'm all for it. If I have the time available, I prefer 36 holes to 9 or 18. There's nothing like being on a well manicured lawn that I didn't have to mow!

The article said they get anywhere from $2500 to $25,000 depending on the event. I think I'll just take my wife with me if I suddenly have a need to have female companionship on the course. I'll save a ton and I'll live longer too.

Tiger's a great front runner and Jack was dangerous wherever he was in the field. Tiger may ultimately get that 19th major and secure his place in history as the best ever but he's never going to be the class-act that Jack is.

Tough break bud. Here's to hoping it rains everyday until your neck loosens up!

The next time you play with this guy, start laying a club on the ground, opposite side of your ball, parallel to your target line and see if he squawks.

That's how my ex-wife justified it! About Perry, it appears to be a very subjective video, from that back view you can certainly see more ball once he's done addressing the ball, repeatedly. From the final shot from the front, you can also see there is still grass behind that ball as well, so if his lie improved, it wasn't by much.
