  1. Any other thoughts?
  2. Thanks. I'll try experimenting with my hips on the range.
  3. I've been Playing Golf for: 3 years My current handicap index or average score is: 4.6 My typical ball flight is: draw The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push fade I picked up this awful push fade in midst of working on eliminating my snap hook. Any help would be much appreciated. Videos:
  4. As I mentioned in the above post, you have to look at what was happening in the time that this was written to interpret it accurately. This was a strict call to obedience. Before they did the work of building the tabernacle, God first called Israel to the work of simple obedience. Basic obedience is a pre-requisite for doing work for the Lord. You can take it and enjoy it if you want. If you don't take it, it is not going to damn you or condemn you.

Despite the way this passage is quoted by many of those who are not Christians (*cough* who seem to have memorized it faithfully), and even by many Christians, Jesus is not calling to a universal acceptance of any lifestyle or teaching. The Christian is called to unconditional love , but he is not called to unconditional approval . As a Christian, I can love people who do things I do not approve of. Quote: 8) Believers are supposed to hate their parents when they follow Jesus ( “If any man come to me, and not hate his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sister, yet, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple” (Luke 14:26). That is in the language a comparative. This verse is talking about how your love for Jesus Christ must be supreme. It must be greater than your love for your family, your home or yourself. You have to remember that the Bible wasn't written in English, and going back to the original language to interpret is crucial. Going back 2,000 + years, following Christ did cost some of them their families, their family relationships. For they were ostracized by their families when they made their commitment to Jesus Christ.
  6. I find it funny that a lot of you are commenting on how it's wrong for Bubba to "judge" gays, but you are judging Bubba for agreeing with Chris. Ironic much? As a side note, I don't think Bubba's tweet was meant to judge Jason Collins.
  7. Record your swing and put it in the member swings area - we can help you out there.
  8. My cavity back gap wedge that came with the set broke and I'm planning to replace it with a Vokey 52*. I've tried out a friend's vokey 52* and my dad's cleveland 52*, and for some reason I just can't hit a "speciality" gap wedge well at all. The club feels heavier, clumsiery, and more prone to hitting it fat. Also, when I feel like I hit it good it only goes 110. A normal gap wedge for me is 135. It doesn't have that same piercing flight as my cavity back wedge has. What's the deal?
  9. Keegan Bradley -12 Paul Lawrie -12 Martin Kaymer -12
  10. I'm a right hand player, and I've been putting left hand low since I picked up the game. However, I never know exactly what position my right elbow/arm should be in. Should my forearms be parallel? Should my right elbow be tucked in close to my right hip? Should my elbow be pushed out away from my body, like Jack Nicklaus? What are you feeling in your setup or stroke while putting cross handed?
  11. Best 9 hole: 34 Best 18 hole: 71 Favorite 18 hole score: 75 highlighted by an eagle on the 430 yard par 4 10th - played from the tips @ 7,200 yard, (M-75.0/142) Bear Creek in Murrieta.
  12. When I look at the players on tour, they all have a unique setup and stroke. This brings me to the question: what makes a good putter? Is it the ability to read greens and match the speed to hole putts? Is it the mental attitude on the greens? Setup? Also, when you're putting is hot, what are you "feeling?" Confidence matched with ___? Or is it just confidence?
  13. I'm going with a dark horse: Rickie Fowler. He had two top 10's at the beginning of the year, but has since lost a little of his form. If he gets off to a hot start on the first 4 holes, he could go all the way.
  14. Do y'all feel pressured to play to play at the same level you dress? Personally, when I'm rocking my Oakley / Titleist gear, I feel like I need to shoot in the low 70s. However, when I play at a muni in shorts and a frumpy polo (not tucked in) I feel like I could shoot 85 without getting any "poser" looks.
  15. L[quote name="tuffluck" url="/t/65153/whats-your-course-style-poll#post_814272"] i chuckle when i see people dressed like rickie fowler on a muni... [/quote] Lol @ rickie fowler comment. Ages 16 and down I'm cool with it. I think it shows that golf and rickie are pulling in new golfers. 16+ is just ridiculous.
  16. What's your course style? Trendy Oakley & Puma polos? Thin striped polos? Shorts or pants? Brown shoes or black/white shoes? Colored belt?
  17. If ya'll had the option to buy an off-brand, yet same quality polo as Nike, Puma, ect, would you buy them for $20. Given that you like the style. Or is the brand name a huge influence on your purchase decision?
  18. Same here - I refuse to pay over 25 for a shirt; which means I wait for them to go on sale. However, what happens if Puma golf decided to sell their polos for $25 instead of $80. It seems like they could sell 4x the amount of shirts, and also kill their competition at the same time. ya?
  19. While working for a promotional products company, I often did research into finding Chinese manufacturers for products. One of the products I looked into was polo shirts. Here's the breakdown from my research: Cost: 1,000 pieces: $7.21 Shipping / pc: $0.30 Total cost per piece: $7.51 Factoring in that the major golf clothing companies are manufacturing 10,000 pieces per run, this would bring the cost down to $6.43 /pc Now look at how much they're charging (taken from golfsmith.com) Puma: $80 Nike: $80 Travis Matthew: $80 Footjoy: $72 Adidas: $65 Obviously they have a lot of marketing costs and player endorsement costs to factor in, but seriously - these guys are marking polos up 900 - 1,200% I see a HUGE opening for a golf clothing company to come out there with $15 - $20 quality/cool polos.
  20. You have the makings of a good swing. I see some good positions on the back swing. 1. As mentioned above, work on balance. Practice swinging and holding your finish for 3 seconds. 2. Feel like your chest covering the ground the ball until way after impact like Dustin Johnson. (You're standing up through impact. 3. Feel like 85% of your weight is on your right foot on the back swing, and 98% is on the left leg at impact. This would be a good start. Post progress videos
  21. Oh crap, that's gnarly! I played once in spikeless shoes (without using any of my woods) a week ago, and practiced two times in spikeless shoes. That's the only time I've played or practiced in 3 months. I'll give it another month or so and try then. I like the balancing exercise and ice afterwards - makes sense. Is it a good idea to put a heat pad on it while I sleep to keep it from getting cold? Any recommendations for shoes? Do you think Ecco shoes would help create less torque when I start playing again?
  22. Thanks for the help man! Seriously, I went to a doctor a couple weeks ago and all he said was, "that's a weird injury. Just ice it a couple days and you should be able to play by next week."
