  2. i am not going to say i "found it" from trying this tonite. we all know if you think you got this game you are in for a rude awakening soon. then u wont be able to hit a single shot. plus it is often we get a band aid or just a feeling that works. so all i will say is that i tried getting it out of my palm tonite. i didnt realize until i went to course and put down a club that i wasnt entirely in palm but i was not fully in the fingers of the left hand (im a righty) either. so i did that...plus the long left thumb advice and holy bejesus. i hit the ball straighter, lost my little hook thing that the ball does at the end. i could land as ball went higher and longer and with almost a slight fade (im a hooker). im used to landing ball and then it goes sideways to the left either a little or allot. this allowed me to land softly. my drives went straighter and longer. i had issues with aiming right and when no draw happened and iron and driver shots went powering straight...i turned my quick 9 after work into a practice because i had to adjust to aiming more at target...or gulp...left of target (us hookers will know how scary that is). it is just 9 holes....who knows long term...but i dont think a better foundational grip than my old one can be bad. it can only be good. i want to thank the op a ton. i will post in future after a few more rounds of 18 rather than this quick implementation. i didnt have range time until after so i need practice. it felt weird at first...all good changes must feel this way...as anything feeling normal is just old habits...but op i thank you. ps...i am a 9 handicap...good golfer...i did manage to par 6 out of the 9...holes...and only bogeyed the others due to hitting powerful straight shots...not my hooky ones...so that is pretty damn good. will update in next week or so.
  3. Love this. I have always felt my grip was ok but not quite 100%. When taking lessons they always glossed over my request to ensure grip was perfect saying it looked fine. I'll try your suggestions tonight.
  4. am I dreaming did I really read you try to compare the relationship between Phil and bones to Bubba and his caddy as anything similar you must be joking
  5. Their outlet? Golf. Lol Ps but with a 3 week old dislocated shoulder.... Not me :(
  6. Soooooo question? Why for so many does the fact that the caddie makes a huge profitable living off Bubba defend or explain away his behavior (bubbas) on course? So let's say someone rich approaches you and says I'd like to hire you I'm going to bring you around with me in public and I'm going to crap on you a little early drop my pants and crap right on your face I will curse you I will berate you I will probably beat and humiliate you but guess what I'll pay you a million dollars a year does that mean it's still okay obviously I'm not saying that's exactly what Bubba's done to this guy but explain away rude belittling behavior where he whines and complains and puts all the faults on the county's shoulders so often on TV I'm sorry I don't care that the guy gets compensated well yes he could quit obviously he chooses to do it but to defend Bubba in anyway I'm sorry to me he's got fantastic talent Inc and hip amazing shots but the guy is a jerk
  7. i dont get people even caring what they wear....r u telling me you enjoy pro golf on the pga on the tv more or less depending on shorts vs pants? personally i watch the shots not their legs and whether i can see them or not. it is funny that women fought for and continue to fight to get equal rights of men...yet the pga forces men to wear pants in unbearable heat...while women get to wear what they want...and what they want is normally shorts. why can women wear them and men not? why does anyone care.....i say for sure it should be allowed. i and my friends cannot wait until the weather gets even the slightest bit warm enough to justify shorts and i dont go back to pants until season is almost over where i live. i stil wore shorts in cold weather the other day cuz air on my legs and the freedome of movement and comfort is important.
  8. ...you told me if we won this...i would get some tongue...now pucker up you old cutie!!!
  9. what he said :( they used to not put who can enter on golfwrx contests then i emailed a mod one time and asked if they can put front and center whether loyal cdn fans etc can enter or not to make it clear...they were nice and listened and now in the subject line it clearly will say open to____ so you know. i would have gladly paid the extra coin for added shipping costs had i won ....
  10. Bridgestone: Your Passion for golf matched with the perfect ball!
  11. i dont get why so many liken this situation to the real world of stealing an employee or hiring someone away...its not the real world..its not the corporate world...in corporate you can get away with anything legal...in golf we call penalties on ourselves? trying to liken the two as one in the same is an epic fail. if it is stated on tv and in press that pga players have an unspoken code....that requires a player to call another to show his interest in a caddie then...then...that is the code. do i think in real life you try and snag without the other knowing...a good employee ?....yes...of course. So in my reason of thought i get that tiger did nothing wrong....but i am not in the golf world...and the golf world tells me thats how its done...there are certain curticies and protocols i am not privy too, that are do's and don'ts......and apparently taking one guys caddie from another with not a word....is a improper move. is this a soap opera? of course. but for all us hackers to say what was right or wrong is a waste of time. The pga has a code of what to do that is right and wrong...it is not on paper..but players know it and its simple...tiger doesnt care and does what he wants and it is not going to change him or others views of him. he is what he is. but what he did...according to the pros...not me...the pros...was wrong etiquette.
  12. what he said. the par 3 was the choke. you see that the only guy with a good chance of beating you has 3 jacked over par and you put it in the water? when he was hitting draw shots all day? then fades into drink? choke.
  13. hmm? i know i have been told i grip too tight and i have tremendous discomfort and at times pain, in my right hand and a bit in forearm. if you are telling me a glove could actually improve that, even a little, then i would love to try one.
  14. you are pretty sure you remember him saying that...where...in person? come on. why would a teacher in the business who has coached both of them say that...it is completely silly. i did a search on harmon and those words, quote etc. and i must admit i found. ....one..and only one reference...it was a thread on sandtrap..oh..thats right...the one by poster...thats it. harmon has class and would not say such crap about a student he taught.
  15. sorry..........but butch never said that about two of his students.........he has too much class.
