Hi, We will have a tournament in June for 80 people and we need to have 80 gifts. I want to know what are the gifts that people like to get, can you provide me some ideas? Last year we flopped with too many coffee makers, microwaves, blenders, blankets left toward the end and you can tell people who last picked weren't too excited with the remaining items.

Tiger Woods 2 under Rory McIlroy 2 under Lee Westwood 2 under I revised this on July 3--Not sure if it is still good.

Some body in our group quit. I have an open spot for a tee time on this course at around 11:00 on Saturday, anyone wanna join? Send me a private message.

Clambake, Thanks for the info, I will leave the push cart home. I am playing this Saturday to get ready for my tournament on the same course two weeks later.

I am playing there for the first time. Is it a walkable course? Any tip? Many thanks,

Stretch, Your tip of "feeling left knee bends forward toward the left toe in the backswing" is really good. I just tried this and I was unable to have the club go to parallel at the top of the backswing because of the restriction. I always feel that my backswing is too sloppy near the end and I want to stop at or before parrallel. I will try to incoporate this into my practice. Thanks,

Hi all, Please critique my swing. I am trying to learn SnT from the book and not sure how it turned out. My major problem is probably flipping and short distance. My eight iron distance is about 125 with sky high trajectory. My driver distance is about 210-220 (carry) and 230-250 total. Compared to the guys I play with, I am usually one or two clubs shorter with the irons but hit the driver about the same distance. I feel that somehow I hit the driver more correctly than I hit my irons. Currently my handicap is 13, but because of a long break and minimal practice lately I play like a 20. Many thanks,

I didn't post the original avi files because I don't know how to extract a small clip out long clip with avi file so I used Windows Movie Maker. I will try to take the video with the correct angles and post them on youtube.

I just got a Casio EX-FC150 camera and immediately recorded my swing. I am about a year into my attempt at SnT with mixed results. I didn't get instructions but try to learn it from the book. From my observations, I can't believe how much I turn on the back swing. I would like to have a more compact backswing. I also tend to peek at the club during the backswing. My major problem is that I flip the club at impact. Can you take a look and let me know what I can do to improve my swing? Is it close to SnT at all? My handicap index is around 13. I hit my PW around 105 yards, most of my friends with similar handicap index hit theirs about 120 yards. I am not necessarily looking for more distance but I think the short distance might be indicative of the flipping and poor contact. http://pardreamer.com/khafrontswing.wmv http://pardreamer.com/ khaswingsideview.wmv Many thanks,

My biggest problem is flipping the wrist at impact. As a result, my ball flight is sky high. My pitching distance is 100 yard. I have been trying to eliminate this but with no success. I have tried the 'secret' by Greg Normal, and the impact bag but still no result. Is this some thing that can be cured? Has anyone been cured from this?

I just found out that it is just a scamble tournament with teammates randomly picked.

I am thinking about playing in a firecracker scramble tournament but I am not sure what this is, could some body please explain? Thanks,

Received the two PBS (w/ BOGO deal) and tested them at the range. Gained about 7-10 yards at the end of the pratice session. I am really excited. I have been hitting my 7 iron about 140 yards for the last 5 years but I hit it 147-150 today. Hope to keeping working with this and hit my 7 iron about 155 yards. The shot trajectory seems to be more penetrating than normal.

I just won a slightly used XCG-3+ wood for a $100 Regular flex. Can't wait to try it. Thanks for your recommendation.

I am looking for a 3-wood to replace my 6 yr old Mizuno MP-001. I haven't done any research for a long time and not sure where to start. thanks,

It took forever, but a nice shot.

My stack-n-til progress report after 4 months. I continued to have problem with push or push+fade with Stack-n-tilt swing. I don't know if I am doing stack-n-tilt right or not. My friend is buying a video camera so we can tape our swings and I plan to post it here. My push or push+fade problem is not huge. I have learned to play with it in the last few weeks. However, this new stack-n-tilt swing is still way more predictable compared to my old swing. For the driver, my current ball trajectory is very consistent. I just have to aim between the left rough and center of fairway and hit. The ball will usually start out straight left and then tails to the right at the end. Sometimes it goes straight. Now I am hitting 65% of fairways compared to around 45% pre stack-n-tilt. Distance is about the same about 230 to 250 yards. With my irons, I have to aim between left edge and center of green. Sometimes I push it so much that I miss it to the right of the green. May be I should aim at the left edge of the green because I rarely ever miss left but I find it difficult to aim that much far left. There must be something fundamentally wrong with my swing that once I post here you guys can see. The biggest improvement with stack-n-tilt are pitching, chipping, and sand play. I don't keep short game stats but I feel that my pitching/chipping is very solid now. I tend to chip behind the ball in the past. The ball mark on the club face is about the size of the half dollar coin now. Before, stack-n-tilt it was all over the club face. Overall I am very happy. My handicap has dropped from 15 to 12.5. So this definitely works for me.

I just order one (hopefully getting two with BOGO deal) a few minutes ago. Lag is my biggest problem and I tried the impact pact but it hurts my wrists so I had to stop. Hopefully this PBS will help me.

This is seriously wrong. She should be hung. Wait. He was hung.

I, my wife and her family will be in Orlando for four days going to the parks. I am thinking about sneaking out half a day for a round of golf. I have never played golf outside the state of California and want to experience something different. Where should I play? There are a few criteria: 1. Green fee under $100. 2. Close to the parks 3. Have clubs rental--preferably under $30 Thanks for your suggestions.

I have been using stack-n-tilt for the last 4 months and the result is great. My handicap went from 16 to 12 because better ball striking. In the last two weeks, I have problem with about about half of my shots going straight right. About 20 feet right of the target. There is no slice or very mininal slice. The other half of the shots tend to go straight with very few balls in between straight and 20 feet right. What am I doing wrong? I noticed that if I try to hit the ball with 100% effort then I have no more problem. But I don't want to hit 100% effort all the time (as it can brings other problems) and I didn't have blocking problem in the past hitting the ball about 80-90% effort. Thanks,

Thanks everybody, I think I have an idea of how this works. Although my tournament got cancelled because of expected rain. I am in a small club with about 70 people and only about 20 to 24 people playing in one tournament so it is easy to cancel.

I will play there Wednesday of next week. The greens fee includes cart but I would like to walk if they allow it and there are no great distances between holes like some courses.

I have a basic question but would like to know before going to my first tournament this weekend. Do we keep our own score, each keeps every body scores or one person keep scores for every body? Thanks,

Yes, I should say that my clubhead speed for the driver is 90 mph resulting in about 230 yards (roll+carry). Wow, Nike PD soft to E6 reduced your spin rate by 1500 rpm? I might try the E6. I have tried to correct my flipping habit but it is not easy.
