Do all best buys carry golf gps? I'm not aware of the one near me having them.

I will be in Annapolis this weekend and wanting to play a round of golf while the wife works haha. I seached the site for annapolis area courses and found a link from about a year ago. The one course that I think looks really cool Renditions people said wasn't in very good shape. As I said this was a year ago so I was wondering if anyone has played recently and what the conditions were like. It really looks like an interesting place to play but if it's in bad shape I don't want to play it. Thanks in advance

I am also shocked by the negative comments on oyster bay. I played it and loved it. Have also played moorland and prestwick. Enjoyed both of those but both are very challenging.

My club has a weekly 9 hole mens league where they try and change the format every week. One week coming up will be everyone only has 3 clubs in there bag. I've never done this but sounds fun. If anyone has what clubs you pick? I was thinking 3hybrid 8 or 9 iron and putter. Also thought about putting with hybrid and adding a 5 or 6 iron maybe. Any recommendations?

Thanks just wondered if it was something else or just an unlucky day on the greens or maybe a little bit of both. They say the more I practice the luckier I get. Another thing that could have effected it is that the greens at this course were quicker than the greens at my home course. So the putts may have had a little more pace than usual. thanks for the replies

Is it possible that some cups just aren't as receptive as others? I played a course today I don't play often and I had a lot of putts lip out on me. Probably happened 7 or 8 times. I know this happens I just never have it happen to me that much. I was hitting the putts solid too. Just wondered if some are worse than others or I just had a bad day on the greens. Thanks

I talked to callaway customer service yesterday a they told me there hoping for next week sometime. The only good this is we get 5 free pro mode courses for the delay. I'm hoping it's sooner than later

I have been thinking about upgrading my skycaddie 2.5. I was first looking at the SGX the I saw the new upro mx. Does anyone know how the accurate the upro is? I know with my skycaddie most times when I stand on the sprinkler head it's dead on or only off a yard. Also not sure about how everyone else maps but skycaddie. I'm assuming these maps are very accurate or companies wouldn't use them. Let me know what you think. The MX is cheaper and no yearly fees but also I've always heard you get what you pay for. Thanks

I was having this same problem last year. I made a small grip change and a set up change that fixed it for me. In my driver setup I was leaning shaft forward at address. I'm now maybe slightly the other way leaning back at address. Also I was putting my right thumb (right handed) down the shaft on my grip. My thumb now goes around grip like my other fingers. I'm NOT a pro but this is what worked for me.

Thanks for the help. Just curious how much did your distance improve by fixing the lack of lag? Distance isn't my primary concern care more about being a better ball striker but I'm a guy so of course would like to hit it was far as possible.

Sorry didn't explain this well but yes my wrists are unhinged very early. With the swing app you can compare your swing to a pros. I know I'll never be close to the amount of lag they have but I'm not even close.

Thanks for the help and I'll get another video an post it. My 8 year old shot this one for me so it's a bit on the wobbly side lol

Hi I recently downloaded a swing analysis app for my iPhone. The quality certainly isn't the greatest but it does give me a clue as to what's going on. One thing I noticed right away is that I have released 80% of my power prob half way down in the back swing. Does someone know of any good drills to help me fix this power robbing problem? Thanks in advance

Thanks for the input. And I love BBQ so I'll defiantly check that place out. I doubt it is but would that place happen to use a vinegar base sauce? Most places up here don't. I used to live in Wilmington NC and theres a place down there that uses a vinegar sauce and is the best I've ever had. Regardless I'll check it out.

Hi was going to be making a trip down to Frederick Maryland and was wondering what course you guys recommend? I know of at least 4 courses I've heard are very nice there. Maryland National, PB Dye, Musket Ridge and Whiskey Creek. Has anyone played those? If so what one do you recommend?

I'm not a long hitter at all bit long enough. Of course being a guy it's never long enough. What is the best way to increase swing speed? I've heard that swinging a weighted club helps and have also heard it doesn't speed you up at all.

Said I was border line x stiff but I went with a stiff.

I have a question. I just bought a new driver about 3-4 months ago. When I got fitted my average speed was around 104.something. Today I was at dicks trying the new Callaway driver. My average speed today was around 98.something. Of course when I bought my driver was in the season and I was swinging a club about everyday. Now where I live maybe once a week or so. Would not swinging all the time make that big a difference or did I unknowingly do something to slow down my swing?

I think its a mental thing with me. I have yet to break 80 on my course with a par 71. Last week played well all day and made the mistake of checking my score card with 2 to play. All I had to do was play last 2 in over for a 79. One a par 5 about 590 but straight with not much trouble. Hit good drive had about 305 left to center of green. Made double from there and bogey on the last a par 3 for an 80. Nothing more frustrating when you have never broken 80 than an 80

Does anyone have any good ways to help someone improve there tempo? I have a very bad habit of going back very slow and getting very qucik at the top. Like most I do best with this when I'm on the range trying to work on it, but when I get to the first tee not as good. I'd really like to get more consitant cause on days when I have a smooth tempo I feel like I can't miss shots. I want more of those days lol

I'm in the same boat. Haven't gotten into the 70's yet. Have been in the 30's quite a few times but always do something stuipid on the other side to ruin it. I have been working a lot on my chipping, pitching and putting. Also I have been working on my driver a lot cause one of my problems was getting myself into trouble off the tee. Either ob with a penalty of course or in jail and have to go sideways. One last thing I working on is course management. Been hitting my hybrid off the tee a lot more. I'd rather have a mid iron approach from the fairway than have a wedge but who the heck knows where it is. I feel like i'm getting close to it being there. Sure hope i'm right

Just curious I recently purchased a new driver and know my club head speed now. My question is what "could" my distance be with a club head speed of 105. Given I had the proper launch angle, spin, etc. (I don't) but wanted to know if theres a way to calculate my potential?

What would cause me to hit big blocks right (rh golfer). I have been having problems being pin high but say maybe 20-30 yards to the right of the green. I have to be making skid contact or I'm assuming that cause I'm not coming up way short all the time. It's not every shot but it's very frustrating. Thanks

Ok that makes sense. I switch from a VERY flat and laid off swing to a more upright and shaft pointing down the line at the top. Before I could hit the driver decent (certainly not good) but with the irons I was so stuck behind I would sometimes do the S word that us golfers choose not the say lol. The more upright swing gives me a much better ball flight with my iron shots and I'm getting to where when I have a short iron or wedge in my hand I expect to have a decent shot a birdie. Before with the stuck swing my only thought was OMG i hope I don't hit those poor guys on the next fairway.

I recently caught part of the AJ Golf infomercial on the golf channel. I have always heard if it sounds to good to be true it probably is. Does anyone know anything about this? Anyone Tried it?
