Started with a new instructor yesterday, they have Trackman and all the automatic video setups which is pretty cool. My first lesson involved moving my feet wider apart, straightening my legs and bending over at the hips more (closer to the ball). The changes were dramatic, ball striking improved immediately. I hope I can work these changes into the game.

I'll second this, Weber grill are very high quality and they back it up with a lifetime warranty that is second to none. Mine is outside 365 days a year, and not a single part has rust on it, I do cover it maybe 50% of the time, but still. Be sure you get the one you want, because you won't replace your Weber for 10-15 years at least. Did I mention I'm a fan of the Weber brand? LOL

OK, cool, just thought I would eliminate that as an issue. Appreciate the responses.

This one might be for @iacas or @mvmac, but open to anyone's opinion. I'm a right-handed player and on my right hand, the joint between the tip and 2nd bone was fused together because of a baseball injury when I was in little league. The result of this injury is I cannot bend it at all, say to wrap it around the grip when setting up for a shot. My question is, how much does the right trigger finger play a role in controlling any aspect of the swing? Obviously, I have compensated for it and I don’t ever think about it when I play, but a recent post showing the Ben Hogan grip made me think of it again as it clearly shows him wrapping the finger around the grip. Any thoughts?

I would love to win the Speed Cart GT https://shop.sunmountain.com/Speed-Cart-GT-20119-detail.html in White-Cobalt! I have owned a Sun Mountain Speedcart for many years and love it, the design is great and it is very reliable. My oldest daughter is starting high school golf this coming fall so this would be for her, need to start them young with Sun Mountain quality!

What Would a 20.1 (see post #95) Index Shoot at a Local U.S. Open Qualifier Site?

Are you all going to yell "Get in the hole" and "Bababooey" after every shot? LOL -

I don't think he will break 127. Can you pair him up with 3 other strangers, preferably better players? Also, would be good to get an announcer on the first team to call out names, exchange scorecards etc. I remember my first tourney, the nerves do a lot to alter your ability. -
Planning first golf buddies trip. What do the wives do?
bmartin461 replied to Tee Wade's topic in Golf Talk
You are thinking like a guy here, when women get together, time is no longer relevant. A spa day will be a full day, you won't need to worry. My recommendation to you would be to put a schedule together, so everyone is on the same page, that way you will be able to carve out the time you need for golf and let the wife know when she needs to self entertain. 7AM group breakfast 8:30 - 4:30 men are golfing (2 rounds per day right??) 6:00PM group dinner etc. etc. etc. -
Well, if you booked on-line for an earlier time as a single, then you would have a reservation for that time and the course would most likely honor it. They are probably giving you a later time verbally as they are more confident there would be room at that particular hour. Either way, you will be fine.

TST SoCal 2017 Spring Outing - April 30th at 10 am - Goose Creek
bmartin461 replied to Golfingdad's topic in Member Outings & Meetups
@Golfingdad I am really bummed but my daughter now has a piano recital scheduled that day, at 1pm, so there is no way I can make it now. Sorry, I was really looking forward to it. Next time! -
Very cool. I bought two of those posters on eBay last year, the 2008 (Torrey) & 2012 (Olympic Club), both framed and signed. The guy that shipped them did a terrible job with packaging and the glass broke and ripped the posters to shreds. I was so bummed, plus when I opened them up all these small glass shards went everywhere. No fun, had to get a refund, etc.

Yes, the cover photo is very misleading, here is a picture from the actual article:
