    Guys, any courses north of Boston open? I know a bunch in RI and on the Cape are open, but I'm more interested in getting a quick round in rather than making an all day road trip out of it.

    What makes this game tough for YOU?

    I've had days where I hit 90% of fairways. I've had days where most of my approach shots were GIR, and if not hey were no more than a short chip away. I've had days where I could get long putts to within inches, and sink 10 footers like it was no ones business. If I could get all those...

    Stat Tracking Sheet

    A while ago I had seen a sheet online to keep detailed stats of your round. You basically fill in the course info, (yardage per hole, etc) and then use it as a scorecard...keeping track of things like Penalties, fairways hit/direction, FIR, GIR, up & down, approach yardage, putts, putts from 3...

    The Mental Hump

    I think I'm in a big time mental rut. I have a swing in scoring like crazy. 3 weeks ago I shot a PB 89, and now my last round I shot a 115. My short game is the same....decent. Everything else is in shambles. Driver, Irons, Hybrids....everything. My practice swings feel great but once I...

    Implementing Swing Changes

    After a lesson, or self analysis, how do you go about implementing swing changes? Finding a drill is easy enough, but what kinda reps do you find ingrain the changes you need? Do you find playing rounds during these changes help, or is it counter productive? Does hitting bad shots during the...

    Shorten Backswing with a full turn?

    I've been working on shortening my back swing. If I just set up to the ball without a 2nd thought and just swing natural, I go past parallel because I'm trying to "feel" the full turn. When I shorten my back swing, I get much more consistent hitting, but don't feel like I'm getting a full turn...

    Halo Neuroscience

    A search here turned up nothing. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this device? Supposedly it allows your brain to learn better, and intensifies the results of training (over simplification, I know) It costs $750, and looks like a set of headphones. Anyone know anything about...

    Golf Trick Shot Videos

    Am I the only one that hates them? Watching them just annoys the crap outta me. A close 2nd on my hate list is the corny 30 second golf related "funny" (I use that term extremely loosely) skits that keep popping up on FB/IG.

    Teeing up Irons

    I've seen people approach teeing up iron shots differently. Some bury the tee in the ground and barely elevate the ball, some people have it 1/2" off the ground. Some people play it as they would a regular iron shot, some play it more forward in their stance. What do you guys do when teeing...

    Swing Change Routine

    After a lesson, or self analysis, how do you go about ingraining the changes? Strictly Range work? Winging it on the course?

    Palm Injury

    I made an appointment with my doctor to evaluate, but I figured I'd ask fellow golfers. I had an indoor session that went pretty bad. I was hitting way behind the ball, and as we all know, matts are far less forgiving than grass. I had a sore wrist the next day, and the inner part of my...

    Pride and the Driver

    I've decided to put my pride to the side for now, and put the driver away for a while. I definitely want to revisit it, maybe get a lesson or 2 after I get my iron game to where I want it but for now it just isn't logical. I've been hitting my 3 wood 225-235 somewhat consistently, and even the...

    Getting inside->out swing path

    I had a lesson not too long ago, and some of the things I'm working on now is getting my hands to turn over, proper weight shift and also getting an inside to out swing path. The first two, I've been working on and seeing some progress, but the drill I was shown for swing path just doesn't seem...

    Golf and Making New Friends

    I'm at an age where I honestly have a nice circle of friends but with my kids starting school I'm constantly meeting new dads and everyone seems friendly enough. I find myself steering conversations towards golf and if they're golfers it seems that we hit it off and if they're not, well, not so...

    Overcoming Mental Hurdles

    The biggest issue I have right now is not being able to get out of my own head. I can't stop hitting AT the ball, rather than THROUGH the ball. MY practice swings are perfect (relatively speaking) but once there's a ball in front of me, I'm releasing too early, scooping the ball. No divot, no...

    Finger Jams

    I've been noticing more and more that sometimes after a round of golf I have pain in some fingers for a few days after. Usually it's the left pointing finger, and sometimes the right ring finger. It feels like a milder version of a finger jam, but still painfull nonetheless. Is this caused by...
