    Need help staying down

    I had another failed fitting today. The fitter said it wasn't a good idea to custom fit me since my swing isn't repeatable enough. Fair enough, at least he ws honest, even if I left feeling like an idiot for wasteing everyones time. One of my big flaws currently is that I sway instead of turn...

    Frustrated

    Ok, this is probably gonna be a long post because it involves some history. My first set of irons were off the rack Wilsons which I found out a few years after buying were - .5 inches from standard. I was reading golf forums at the time and heard how important a fitting was. I was a chronic...

    Driver miss is opposite all other clubs

    My miss this year has been left. I have played 3 9 hole rounds and my only slice was late in the third round when I weakened my grip to try to stop hooking the ball on a 5i shot from the fairway. My shots were either draws or hooks and I never used driver. I was on the range and trying to...

    Lag

    I finally know what lag feels like thanks to the PBS I bought last year. I seem to have no problem feeling the lag on chips, pitches, and full wedge shots. What I find is I get solid contact and a nice divot after the ball. This is doing wonders for my confidence when I have a wedge in my...

    Why do you golf?

    Dunno if this has been asked or if this is the right forum. Regardless why do you golf? I do it for fun and relaxation. I think walking 9 helps me blow off stress and keep my blood pressure down. It's my 'me time'.

    Changing my bag

    My current set is: Dr, 3w,5w, 7w, 3h, 5i - pw, 52* and 56* wedges, putter. There are clubs in my bag that rarely got used last year, driver, 5w, 7w, and the 3h. I used to tee off with the 7w a few years ago and it became a go to club for me. I averaged about 165 off the tee with it. I...

    CLub off the tee

    Vicar asked about driver distances. So I'll piggy back and ask what's the club you tee off with the most? 5 years ago I teed off with my 5i on all par 4 and 5s :banghead::banghead:. Took a few years off and in 2008 I teed off with a 7w. 2009 I moved up to my 3w. My goal is controllable...

    What to do with a dead car?

    Here's the deal. We found out yesterday that my wifes '02 PT Cruiser with about 86k miles on it needs a new engine. That's 6.5k and the car is maybe worth 1k. So we're now in the market for a replacement vehicle and I'm wondering what to do with the PT Cruiser. I don't expect to be able to...

    Do you believe in the kindness of the Golf Gods?

    Diane's post on the wrath of the Golf Gods prompted this. I figure there must be another side of the coin other wise the Golf gods are just evil and live to vex us. I played a 9 hole round back in 08 and I went on the last 3 holes, all par 4s, birdie, par, birdie. Including sinking a 40 foot...
