So now that I've learned I can replace my waterlogged FJ's with new ones, I'm checking out the other models they offer instead of just getting another pair of Contours. The contours are amazingly comfy, but I'm fighting the lack of stability they offer with my higher swing speed. Can anyone chime in, that they own a current model of FJ's which they are really happy with, that have good stability and comfort equally? It's hard for me to get a feel of the shoe just walking around the golf store! I have a flatter arch on my right foot which I put a second smaller insert under the main insole to help, so I need a little extra room to compensate for that. I've tried a few Adidas shoes which I love the look of, but they all seems to feel narrow in the width, but perhaps that is due to the firm support band the Tour models have wrapping around the foot? Thanks for reading!

answered my own question on FJ's site, here's the info if anyone else would like to know! 2. Limited Waterproof Warranty FootJoy warrants that certain FootJoy golf shoes purchased in the United States will be waterproof in normal use for two years or one year (depending on the actual style purchased) from the date of original purchase, provided that the shoes have suffered no cuts, abrasions, or other damage and have not been subjected to abuse or other mistreatment. Should leakage develop within the applicable Limited Warranty period, FootJoy will issue credit for such shoes as follows: (I) if shoes are returned during the first year of any warranty period, FootJoy will replace the shoes with the same style or equivalent FootJoy shoe, and (II) if shoes are returned during the second year of a two-year warranty period, the purchaser will be credited with 50% of the then current cost toward the purchase of the same style or equivalent FootJoy shoe.

So I bought these FJ Contours about 10-11 months ago, and I started noticing my socks gettings wet yesterday...course was soggy but I wasn't walking in any puddles really... How does the waterproof warranty work with FJ? I'm hoping to go in and find my buddy at Golf Town and convince him to give me a new pair! How do retailers deal with this situation? Cheers ps yes I have the receipt

I like the idea of playing whites as a different round of golf, I'll use that next time I go out with my higher cap buddies... I usually don't get excited about it, I dont want to shoot a really low round and then have to say "but I was playing the whites cuz the group wanted to, so it's not really a 74" lol...

I am using iGolf for my Blackberry right now because it's free and simple, gives you front/center/back distances and that's all I want. As I've read, most phones and apps drain a full battery by 18 holes, so in my last round I turned off Bluetooth and Wireless connections to see how much battery they used. I had 30% or more battery remaining when I finished the round, so if you can handle disconnecting yourself from the world for 4 hours, as most golf purists would recommend lol... chances are you can get a full round in and not have to charge your phone on the way home! give it a try :) Cheers

Hey I'm just curious how everyone likes to play their driver, I've been battling with adjustments on mine... Assuming most of you play the ball forward of center to some degree, my question is do you close your stance to compensate for the fact that the club is beginning to rotate inside on it's path? Read about that somewhere, wondering if anyone can chime in on how legit that tip is, for some reason I don't think all the pros do that, but it makes sense if you're playing the ball off your left heel or further foward than that... Cheers

Interesting replies...

Can't say enough good things about the book Golf Is Not A Game of Perfect... I just shot the best round of the year, and maybe all time because of that book. I finished the book 2 months ago, but today was the first time I was able to stick to my strategy of trusting my swing, but more importantly, focusing as hard as I could on my target. On tee shots I would zone in on the 150 barber pole as hard as I could, even during the practice swing, then I would just stare right through the ball, while focusing on that target, almost like i was looking at it, while obviously looking at the ball. My swing fell into place perfectly, and other than a few stray shots, mainly due to bad or tricky lies, I was striping everything. My confidence built and built, to the point where i was telling myself I was going to hole out anything inside 50 yards. This also translated into great results with putting. Stare down your target on the green as much as you can, to the point where the swing becomes automatic, and your mind will deliver the result you are looking for much more often! Curious to hear others feedback on their results from mental focus, and the book itself! Cheers btw shot 4 over 76, with a double on an island par 3... taking one more club next time I play that hole...

http://www.scottycameron.com/putters...ly.aspx?id=139 wow I don`t know but am I the only one that thinks this is a mess lol... $749 canadian, ONE PER CUSTOMER! lol

I was looking for comfort as well when I bought a pair last year, the Golftown guy was wearing FootJoy Contours and says they are generally considered one of the more comfortable models, look up reviews on them, you will find a lot of people recommending them for comfort, and stability is fine in my opinion. Good luck

1. I tried left hand low in the mirror it really makes a difference in terms of shoulder alignment! I should get someone to look at my stroke though, I think my view is distorted in the mirror, since I'm not really looking straight down the shoulder line towards the target right? 2. I definately do this, been working hard on that lately. 3. I've never heard of #3, but that makes sense, I'm gonna check that next time I putt. Thanks for the tips, appreciate it!

yes booze make me worse at golf as well, and I'm sure most would also agree. The guys that say it helps them play better are just alcoholics in denial haha...

Golfshot GPS is a traditional system, Golfscape uses augmented reality technology, so you need an iPhone with a camera, you look through the camera lens at the golf hole and the software automatically puts the graphics on the screen relative to the hole! Pretty crazy if you ask me, wish I had the iPhone. Didn't know Scorecard was available on the iPhone, I like the idea of being able to enter notes, Golfshot doesn't let you...

I have an iPod Touch and I use GolfShot to record my rounds, and they can be sent right to your pc in various ways to store and view them. Check out this site, http://shotzoom.com/ . I wish I had an iPhone so I could use their GPS software which there are 2 versions of now. I have a Blackberry Tour which is way behind is graphics power compared to iPhone so the GPS apps aren't as easy to operate on the Tour, but the touch screen berry's are probably a lot better.

hey thanks for the reply, I agree with what you are saying, I'll make sure my chest is aligned too!

I've been fighting an outside inside cut stroke on some of my putts and I read an interesting tip about the shoulders, wanted to see if anyone else fights with this problem! The tip says since your your right hand is lower than the left, your shoulders tend to open up a bit, so to counteract that, tuck your left shoulder onto the front of your chest a bit (not sure if that's the best way to describe it lol). This seems to help, anyone else have any other tips they'd like to share about keep things square? I almost never bring the putter inside on the backswing... Thanks!

haha at first I thought you were indoors hitting at a wall with a painting of a driving range, it almost doesn't even look real for some reason...anyone else notice that? :)

Monday's play is on USA network 4AM EST, and TSN 4AM EST in Canada. Based on what I read on the ryder cup website, you should record about 8 hours to get everything.

I find myself taking divots that start out normal but become thicker towards the end, producing lost clubhead speed and I can't complete my finish. The problem is progressively worse as the iron gets shorter. Ive been told I tend to dip down in my swing a bit on the downswing, possibly the cause. I also find myself taking nasty divots on teed up iron shots as well. I tee up the ball just above grass level on irons, but I figure there should be less divot on those teed up shots? Any tips or drills I could try to clean up these divots? Seems like I need to shallow out my angle of attack maybe? Thanks

Interesting, those pga tour average carry distances are exactly the distances I play my clubs at. Give or take a yard or two of course.

Are you related to Rory? love how you hold the finish, I've been working on that myself.

So I picked this putter up the White Ice 9 that Phil uses, beatiful, simple clean looking putter. Thing is I just read that a toe weighted putter is optimized for an arcing stroke, rather than a straight back straight through stroke. Just curious what kind of movements, thoughts positions would generally fit with this kind of putting stroke? I dont feel like im taking it back inside at all, I actually find myself fighting an outside to in path often, which may be alignment. Any one using this kind of putter have any tips as to how I would work on tweaking my stroke to the arc? I also understand you want to open and close the face during this stroke, not sure I understand what part of the body controls this? Or is it supposed to be automatic, and natural when you have the path correct. Thanks!

great video! thanks for sharing! It would be cool to see more of the players personalities on TV occasionally, instead of just asking what they thought of their round, throw a fun question out here and there, for the players with something interesting to say :)

I guess Justin Leonard isn't gay like someone told me he was lol...Glover's head is bigger than the trophy, sweet.

good call, I remember reading that moving the ball back a bit in the stance is also a way of reducing the issue, but I like your idea of a steeper downswing more!
