This is absolutely huge for Nike. I'm excited to see Rory in Nike duds. I think Nike's clubs will only improve from here on out.

I think they should be able to wear shorts. But you know the moment they are allowed to, all of the old timers are going to make a scene about it.

I always finish. They don't give you gimme's in tournaments.

I'll take one. Medium please. I entered as well.

Thanks for the responses. Should I practice that posted drill even if I don't use s&t;? Also, is there a video about how not to prematurely open the hips?

The biggest habit which I find when coming down on the ball is that I tend to lift up my back heel on the downswing before making contact with the ball. I don't know what lifting the heel does, but many have told me to keep it down on the ground before making contact with the ball. I've always had this habit, and I think it's from playing baseball pretty much my entire life. So basically I'm asking if anyone else has this problem, and what exactly does it harm by doing this habit, and how can I fix it? I've always had the mentality of keeping my foot planted, but even when I think it is, I return to the video and still find that back heel coming up.

This is awesome to look at. I can only imagine how many swings it would take to develop evidence of a sweet spot on my irons.

Yeah man you need to work on the putting green...

I usually play better with my friends. When I play with my dad I usually play worse since I'm trying to play better. When I'm with friends, I loosen up and I don't think too much. So I score better.

Went out and purchased this book today. Already figured out my grip problem.

Oh man, I think the biggest hit was loosing the Scotty. I send my condolences. Did you leave your car open or did they break in (literally)?

Ha I wasn't planning on it.

So there is more spin with rust after all? lol

Oh that makes much more sense. Sorry for my stupid reply which you probably laughed at. I'll work on it. Thanks again.

Ready golf is the best way to get things moving along but not many players do so. As for the OP I like both of those recommendations but both have complications.

I would check out the Top Flight Gamer V2, I've heard a lot about them (never played them though). Also NXT's are good for performance off the tee and some feel on the greens. You can find some great deals on Srixon Z-stars around too, a premium ball for a good price. Hope that helps.

91 at a very tough course with 4 lost balls. I swear I would nail a shot down the middle, only to find nothing. It was very annoying, and the rough was long and thick. The ball never sat up.

Thanks iacas for the reply. Does a strong grip just mean I'm holding it too strong? So if I hold the club lighter, the club will be more open? I find it hard to not have the club face closed at the top of my swing with a one piece takeaway.

So does anyone have any tips for getting my club head more open at the top of my swing? It is always too closed. Thanks.

One thing I could tell you is that at the top of your swing, your club face is too closed. Maybe someone with more experience could expand on that.

Lol... really. I'm surprised how many people are literally just taking videos of themselves swinging at air.

Haha, he is the one I will pull for to win. As for who I think will win... I really think Bubba will break out and win.

I really wish he'd play. But even if he isn't I'm still going to watch.

The biggest face palm happened in high school during one of my matches. It rained the previous night, so all bunkers were considered ground under repair, so if we hit a shot into the bunker, we would pull it out and place it no closer to the hole. There is this par five that was beating me up. It was a horrible hole for me. I got stuck in the forest on the right side of the fairway. Eventually I somehow skipped it across the water to get to a green side bunker. I pulled it out, placed it and hit in right into the bunker again, then did the same thing again, then another, then finally get it to the green. Then I calmly one putted for a 10 for a 20 footer. haha
