I caddy at a really exclusive private club, and people always ask me about the members, and assume that they are all douche bags. I'm like, it's actually like any other group of people. Some are cool, some people are •••••••s. That's just how life works. But yeah, I'm 16, and I run into lots of older members at my club. (8 % of them are thrilled to see me even playing the game. 50% ask me to play with them, 48% ask me if I'd like to play through, and 2& of people are jerks haha. I caught up with a 4some on a par 3 (6th hole out of 18) in the middle of their 2nd tee shot. I play fast i guess haha. One of the guys didn't want to let me play through because he didn't want to wait for me on the next tee haha. I was ONE kid. That problem was taken care of when one of his buddies just said "Don't be a jerk off matt" and told me to play through hahaha. He shanked his 6 iron into the water, I played through and stuck a 7 to 20 feet, tapped in for par, gave matt a bow, then was gone before they hit the next tee

Anthony Kim has said himself that he has a terrible work ethic, so he either needs to develop one, or he's going somewhere besides the PGA

"The Little Red Book" (and His Other Books) by Harvey Penick
erniesilk replied to iacas's topic in Reading Room
Truly one of the greatest teachers. very simple, bite-sized lessons. great stories, and i like the stories about the young pros (tom kite etc,) -
Pretty good, little quick for my taste, but thats entirely personal preference. takeaway is slightly inside,

I don't know dude. I think he was overexposed, and lacked the talent to do any real damage. I think the best hope for the future is McIlroy

I say screw them, they didn't give you anything, you don't give them anything

If you like your 3 iron, and hit it well, then get a lob wedge. If you don't then get a 3 hybrid, and also get a lob wedge (60*)

Thank you very much, most complete answer I've gotten. I'll try all these things, but I have to wait a little while, don't want to do a massive overhaul in the middle of the high school season :P
-
that's my plan hahaha. I'd be the anti-Furyk. WAY inside, first, rather than vice versa.
-
hahahaha yeah. We're right in the middle of high school golf season, so I can't make any real big changes. Buit i appreciate the tip, I'll try it next spring
-
haha caught me, 99% of the time I do. I have one in the first two videos! yeah really long swing, and my head moves a ton. The first range is at Turner Hill in Ipswich, the second is at Ferncroft.
-
hahaha yes that's one way to put it. But unique is just another word for "wierd" isn't it :).
-
6'2" 160 pounds...yes, that's correct haha. I'm 16, and i'm a skinny little bastard.

Hey guys, here's my swing as of now...What do you think? comments questions concerns? I'm pretty concerned. I guarantee it's one of the longest swings you'll ever see haha. I hit it about 265 yards, with a slight fade...unless I don't.
-
I don't have an answer for you, but I have the same problem haha. hopefully I'll get some help from the flood of notifications when people try to help you out. ACtually, today i tried to swing "around my body." i.e. don't come over the top. I try to keep my right elbow tucked on the downswing.

If you have a man cave, and the friends you have over regularly are also golfers, then you could hang the clubs, bag and all, on the wall. Wuold look pretty sweet

Will 1.5 inch plugs ruin my irons?

By plugs i mean extensions, just a different word -
hahahahaha a pontiac aztec could scratch your retinas if you looked at it too long.

The bazooka geo-max is a hideous golf club. Cleveland hi-bores are awful. the cobra s9's, not a fan of the black rubber on the topline. Anything callaway has ever made. and the ugliest really succesful irons have to be the ping eye 2's. especially the wedges, boy those are funky lookin

So a while, I got lucky and my Grandfather got me a new set of Srixon i-701's. They're great irons, and I love them, but i was 14 at the time. I've grown about 7 inches since then, and now I'm 6'2". My problem is, the clubs, especially 7-PW, are much too short, which is changing my posture and swing. The clubs are a half inch shorter than standard, and I need 1 inch plugs, according to an online club fitting system. So since I need the extra half inch to account for the irons being short, I planned on putting in 1 and a half inch plugs, so my question is... Will 1 and a half inch plugs ruin the integrity of the shaft, and make them harder to play?

I think about the ball going in the hole...thats kinda it.

rocket 2 wood to 8 feet, made the eagle putt.

The New Callaway FT tour is a great club. Stock Voodoo shaft. It looks like an FT-9 kind of. Feels great, very workable, classic club.
