    Toying with Snedeker's Pop Stroke

    My last few rounds have been characterized by good ball striking and horrendous putting. Yesterday, I went up to the practice green at my local course and spent an hour putting with Snedeker's "pop stroke." I've got to say, it's so easy to get the ball on line this way, and I plan to use this...

    If you had $5k to buy a street legal golf cart, which way would you go?

    We're moving to Sun City West, AZ next month. It's a golf cart community, so I'd like to buy a decent used one now and look to upgrade in a couple of years. In AZ, carts do have to be street legal to drive on the roads. I'd appreciate any suggestions with regards to: - important features -...

    Anyone using Celtic Salt?

    I've read the Chinese brands often have a high concentration of heavy metals. So, if any of you use Celtic Salt, I'd love to know a) your thoughts, and b) where to go to get the best. Thanks!

    How many hours and minutes from the time you walk out the door until you return? How does that jibe with your wife's expectations?

    My wife has a pretty solid idea that golf takes 4 hours, so if I walk out the door at 7:30 AM, I should be back just before Noon... um, no. It's different for each of us, but there is commute time to the course, warmup/range time, probably closer to 5 hours on the course, "settling up" time...

    Chipping from rough - I struggle sometimes...

    I grew up playing in the 70' and 80's, developing a short game that relied heavily on forward shaft lean, downward strikes, and using no bounce at all. I've been able to adapt to the more modern style of chipping to use more bounce with neutral setup and vertical shaft (e.g., ). But what about...

    Has anyone played in the Costa Calida (Murcia) area of Spain?

    We're getting excited about spending 2 weeks in the area, and looking for properties at the many golf resorts (e.g., https://simonhdahomes.com/properties/85000-euros-pool-view-penthouse-hda) I'd love some insights/opinions/advice from any who have made a similar trip! I was pretty happy to...

    What is the WORST thing you've ever smelled?

    My wife and I were laying in bed last night after eating a pot of bean soup. For some reason... that question popped up... lol Anyway, after a lifetime of really bad smell experiences that we laughed way too much about, we decided that our WORST experience was in Mexico. We visited Los Barriles...

    Full swings with wedges... do you?

    It took me a LONG time to figure this out. I used to take full swings with both my 56 and 60 when I had them (now I play a 53 and 58). The ball would fly very high, and even though many of the shots were online, I'd have to wait until the ball landed to see how short or long I would be. I...

    The RealReal - not just for the elite!

    Oddly enough, an online search for a Coogi polo led me to the RealReal. They have a $25-off your first purchase code (once you supply your email address). I signed myself and my wife up separately. With the codes, I got a brand new Oakley T-shirt with tags for $7.52 all-in, and a new Nike polo...

    Anyone play with a weak grip?

    This article on Collin Morikawa's grip really has me thinking - https://www.bunkered.co.uk/golf-news/what-you-can-learn-from-collin-morikawas-imperfect-grip When I first started playing golf in Jr. High, my grip was very weak with my left thumb extended far down the shaft. I started off with a...

    For those paying for their own healthcare, what are you paying and what kind of plan are you on?

    I'm an independent contractor and shopping options in TX. I've been quoted an underwritten plan by United Healthcare Premiere Choice Plan - $517/month for just me (56-yr old in decent shape w/no preexisting conditions). I've had 2 different salespeople go over the details and options, and I...
