This seems like an obvious point, but i find that keeping my eyes focused on the ball until it is hit seems to be the biggest determinant of a solid shot. I think we have all heard this before, whether we play golf, baseball, etc., but i think there is more to it. For example, if i focus on a...
I am wondering how many months/years it took before you started playing good golf? Good golf is subjective, but let’s define it as being able to break 80 regularly.
Instead of littering this forum with posts about my golf journey, i figured i would create just one and update it periodically. So why is breaking 80 my goal? I have watched plenty of youtube videos of golfers breaking 80 occasionally and their game doesn’t look impossible. Now when i look at...
In 2015 I got back into golf after many years of not playing, and I think I started to turn the corner and start to get things together. Don't get me wrong. I was still terrible. But I started seeing glimpses of hope. Not for an entire 18, but for a few holes at a time. And then a year or so...
Hey guys I am in the process of deciding what I need to setup a functioning home golf simulator. I really like the Garmin R10 (not available right now), and I think it can help my game, but I have a few must haves...
1. I really want to start tracking my shots, so having the stats that are...
So the wife and i stopped in to GS today to get some tees. Of course, i have been in super ponder mode on the AP2's, so guess where i headed first? And there they were, looking so nice. And sitting right next to them were the AP1's. I probably spent 10 minutes comparing the two sets, when a...
I was in Australia for a month in March. Looking at photos of myself, I was like WTH? I decided to do something about it. When I got back home I was 191 pounds, so I set a goal to get down to 160, which would put my BMI in normal range (just barely). I purposely decided to focus on my weight...
So i have one club that was not fit for me. It appears that the club is too long, based on the fact that the toe points up slightly. Now i know this might change when i swing the club, but my question is a bit simpler. If it is determined that a club has the wrong lie angle, would fitting it...
I just got back from the range where i had a chance to hit some new irons. I hit 20 balls with an RSi 1 TM (7i), and a few things were noticeable. First, comparing 7i to 7i from these to the Eye 2's, there was distance gain. But it wasn't really massive on well struck shots. On misses, i did see...
When i was growing up my dad gave me a cut down set of blades to learn with. They were hard to hit well, but to him they were easier to hit than the set he learned with. A set like that demanded precision, and it provided enough feedback so you knew you missed, and where. Fast forward to today...
I went out and bought a sleeve of several different top balls, and for whatever reason the longest drives i have ever had were with the ProV1. I can't believe that this ball is just that much better than the others, so can anyone speculate as to the reason i play so much better with them?
Is it...
Most of us are serious about our game, which got me wondering about the investments we are making to improve. I am making investments in several areas right now.
1. Playing and Practicing More
I am playing at least once per week now, and practicing my short game as much as I am practicing at...
