  1. i live in south florida. here is a short list that i have either played or heard about that i would recommend you checking out: Plantation Preserve - http://www.plantation.org/golf/Plantation-Preserve/index.html (Excellent course) Blue, White & Jim Mclean Course at Doral - http://www.doralresort.com/golf/golf.asp (i actually like the White Course better than the Blue Course) Crandon golf @ Key Biscayne - http://www.crandongolfclub.com/golf/proto/crandongolfclub/ Jacaranda Golf Club - http://www.golfjacaranda.com/layout9.asp?id=408&page;=11216 Heron Bay - http://www.heronbaygolfclub.net/course/heronbay.asp?HID=668& DeerCreek golf - http://www.deercreekflorida.com/index.php Enjoy
  2. +1. golfshot is really good. It does drain the battery fast. I typically ran out of power around hole 15. Switched to using my iPad and now I can finish a round easily with about 50% battery left. I also have a morphie juice pack for my iPhone and that allows me to get through a round too. Like the stats golfshot logs. You can also look at the stats online.
  3. one problem i am having with my irons is i am taking really deep divots, which would indicate i am coming in very steep on the downswing. will getting my head to stay in one spot and not sway, fix that, or do i need to work more on not bringing the club inside on the take away which causes me to have to lift and come over the top? swinging in my living room (thank god for 10 foot ceilings) the past couple nights i have noticed that i seem to have my chin to close to my body when addressing the ball so in my back swing my right shoulder starts creeping into that space causing my head to sway to the left. i have been retraining myself to lift my head up more to allow my right shoulder to go underneath and not disrupt my head. it felt better, i guess will see what the range brings this weekend. saturday cant get here soon enough!!!! thanks for all your help so far....keep the tips coming. more videos this weekend. bunkerputt, do you have any drills that i can use to work on slowing my shoulders down so they dont open so quickly or will not allowing the club to go to the inside on my takeaway cure that flaw? keeping my head steady is #1 task this weekend.....
  4. proguy 747 or anyone else out there willing to point out some things i need to work on based on the swing videos i have posted here, and the one over at swing academy?
  5. 3wood FO video 7 iron FO video Driver FO video im ready for more swing analysis!!! :)
  6. i will get a face on vid up probably wed/thursday this week. i have to have my irons lie tested and possibly adjusted so irons will be in the shop for a day or two. hmm where do i start...haha. Typically i fall victim to a push fade. i feel that my natural tendency is a fade, but i just struggle with consistently hitting it with a fade, straight or a draw, so for example when i am on the teebox since i dont know what im going to get and depending on the hole layout i will move either to the left or right on the teebox and swing away. sometimes i get it right down the middle, other times push fade comes in and im sitting in the tree line or just on the other side of the tree line down the left side, if water is there then splash., and sometimes i can get a draw/hook going, although those are rare. im mainly straight or push fade. with irons some times i catch them fat. what i am looking for and need help with is finding the right swing mechanics to produce consistent results, swing after swing regardless of the club i have in my hand. not sure if that helps or not. RECAP: driver/3 wood: typically push fade or straight. irons: fat, with the occasional skull (skulls rarely happen, fat shots are more common for me)
  7. not yet. i will record some and post them later this week. do you have any tips/drills that i could use to work on correcting some of the faults you pointed out. i understand the one about keeping the clubhead out and hands in/butt of club pointing more towards my hips, but in regards to my left hip being high? along with my me going across the line, etc. thanks for you help. i get this darn swing figured out one day hopefully. i think if i can become more consistent and have a repeatable swing that feels good and has all the right mechanics of a good swing that should help lower my scores. right now sometimes my swing feels good to me, but i seem to not be able to carry that over from swing to swing which translates into my inconsistency, off the tee, off the deck, with all my clubs, or i just have really bad swing mechanics which even though im athletic i still cant correct them before/at impact so i have shots going left or right, hitting fat, skulling etc. anyway, look forward to any other advice you can or anyone else can give me. are there any youtube videos that i could use to help me that you recommend?
  8. please feel free to continue assisting me, your tips are very helpful. thanks for taking the time to look at it.
  9. anyone care to examine my swing, point out any flaws/things i need to work on? i recorded it at 240fps, unfortunately the camera i used would only record at around 320x240 if i remember correctly so picture quality suffered. http://www.swingacademy.com/videoPlayer.aspx?id=8542 thanks to all who take the time to look at my video.
  10. they also offer these services separate but will cost more to do them separate ($150 more). i really started thinking about getting fitted after i read the right sticks book by Tom Wishon, great book. i want the best driver that fits my swing and will give me the best results, both in distance and accuracy. i have a few ideas of what i would want but really want to see what the club fitters recommend based on what they see. everyone says go get fitted before purchasing so thats what i am trying to do. i guess i just put in my OP that i needed a lie adjustment, i didnt mean i was going to have them do it exclusively. i had golfsmith adjust them originally, and have had edwin watts adjust some of my wedges too. sorry for the confusion. there was a demo day a few weeks ago, but i had an injured wrist so i was unable to attend and demo/test clubs..
  11. i was looking to get fitted for everything (driver/3wood/irons/wedges/putter), and came across this after i was at the doral wgc-ca golf tournament this weekend. Has anyone done the ultimate Session fitting they offer? Here is what the website says comes with the package offer: http://doral.jimmclean.com/FittingCenter/tabid/248/Default.aspx Ultimate Session: Imagine a morning or afternoon filled with total equipment consultation, on-course club testing, and game improvement strategies from our Master club fitters! This exclusive opportunity is brought to you by popular demand. The Ultimate Session includes the following: Video Analysis Putter Fitting Custom Irons Fitting Driver/ Fairway Woods/ Hybrid Fitting Total TrackMan Analysis with “Find your Distance” $350 for a 4 Hour Session looking for any feedback (good/bad) that you can provide. i am in the market for a different driver and possibly a new putter. 3wood i like but probably needs a shaft that fits my swing. right now its stock. irons i love and dont plan on changing just a lie adjustment and possibly new grips and shafts for the wedges. thanks
  12. i heard: WGC Shanghai Aussie Masters Chevron World Challenge
  13. maybe because of the egos of im the best, no i am the best going on in each others head instead of working together while on the course.... :)
  14. Too Bad Cink misread those final putts.
  15. i'm thinking the pressure got to Mahan on that tee and chip shot!!! :)
