I still have the Callaway Bobby Jones S2H2 driver and 3w. Loved those clubs. I haven't hit them in years, but might break them out this weekend.
-
Love it! I'll add that there is no right way to swing. There might be guidelines to follow, but we all have our little quirks. If a pro tells you he teaches only one way to swing, run fast.

He just said that there is very little information about John out there. They were complimentary of his game.

Ben - were you contacted by a reporter about your time playing with Huh? On morning drive this morning it was mentioned that one of the reporters (don't remember his name) was unable to find much info about Huh, but had contacted one of his friends via an online forum. Thought it might have been you.

I saw on the golf channel where Mike Davis from the USGA said that +2 through the first 6 holes at Olympic will not lose strokes to the field. Also going to have a ~630yd par 5. I like watching the best in the world be challenged, but making a course ridiculously hard for the sake of being ridiculously hard (and nothing else) does nothing for me.
-
You think that's because of his Ryder Cup history? He really put it together this week.

I play the blue (6.6K) or gold (7K) at home depending on the group I'm with. When I play a new course I look for whatever tee keeps my close to 6.5K yds. If I've played a course and know it I might move back, but at my length (or lack of) I'm not comfortable playing beyond 6500 yards if I don't know my best miss around the greens. All that changes on PGA courses though. On those I like to move back to where the pros play just for the fun of it.

I addressed it myself

Do I get a cool badge to put in my signature for winning the bracket challenge?
-
Yes, I think folks are influenced by what the pros use. I'm not a ping guy, but I think there are three ping players in the final four. Bracket-wise I need Rory to win this AM and lose this afternoon. Honestly I'm just hoping for close matches.
-
That sounds like fun. My group usually plays all the way back or one tee up. We have five (or maybe six) sets of tees at our club. I've been looking for a reason to play the member or senior tees one day.
-
I'm with you. El hosels should not be discussed in public. :-D
-
That's JayMc making a move today :-P
-
The winner's trophy is named for Walter Hagen. I guess the PGA is honoring him most of all that way.
-
Bracket watch is on I'm working from home tomorrow afternoon so I'll be following coverage on TV instead of on my ipad. 8 matches tomorrow and I have a shot at getting 5 of them right....need to catch Erik. But I have no shot at winning (I believe) based on the quick review I did.
-
K-troop, that's really well said.
-
Blew mine up too. I'm way down the ranking list for our group.
-
I'm in. It shortened my name to Ja Mc

I enter fairway hit/miss, score and putts. Skycaddie keeps everything else. I use GIR, scrambling, and putting stats to plan my practice sessions.

Continued improvement.... The weather in TN has been spotty. Combine that with the really busy time of year for me at work and I haven't been out much since my aimpoint process began. I've only managed to play 3 rounds with full aimpoint focus on the greens (plus several practice sessions working on green reading). This past weekend I played my home course. Temp was in the 40s with a decent wind so full swings were not as comfortable as I'd like. I managed a 75, but the cool thing about it was the 28 putts ( 13 on front, 15 on back). That's a course low for # of putts for me and beat my 2011 average by 5 putts. Those 5 strokes are my index all other things being equal. I'm digging aimpoint. Game changing info for sure.
-
Would you be better with just a couple clubs? - I think I might be.
JayMc replied to AbsoluteZero's topic in Golf Talk
I often drop evens or odds. My home course is pretty long from my tees (~7K) so I don't drop driver, but I'll pull 8-10 clubs out of my stand bag and thrown them in a sunday bag for a quick 9. I've found that my scores are pretty close to "normal". It's fun and encourages creativity. -
I track all of my stats with my skycaddie. Very helpful when planning practice routines. It keeps me focused on what I need to do instead of what I want to do.
-
What an experience! One of our assistant pros, Errol Helling, is the aimpoint guru at our club. We spent a couple hours working through it and I was floored. I'll never look at putting the same way. Now to spend a lot of time practicing so that it becomes a faster process.
-
I like to see them challenged and having to focus on every shot. The greens at the PC are crazy fast. The course isn't long or tight so that's the best way for the course organizers to make it tough. If they get the rain that's forecast and the win lays a bit we could see a lot of birdies in Sunday's rounds. After all, Els once shot a 60 there.
