Over the past year I have really struggled with my putting, especially the ones you expect to make. While watching golf on TV occasionally they would show old videos Arnie and Jack putting. They had a narrow stance, open and pretty much hunched over the ball. I decided to give that a try (not...
My Dad passed away nearly two years ago and yesterday my Mom yesterday asked me what to do with his clubs. He has a set of persimmon woods made by First Flight (1, 2, 3 & 4). He would have purchased them in the late 50s or early 60s. I recall that my Mom once had those woods refinished as a...
Haven't been on here a lot of late but just a question?
Yesterday I had a terrible pull draw right off the first tee (I normally have a slight fade with my driver). The ball went out of bounds and took out a second story window of a home. The home had a net in front and it had to be the most...
I shared a story in the "Spicy Food" thread and though a thread sharing some family stories would be great. I have a few but will start with one (though it is actually two).
My maternal grandmother didn't approve of my Mom dating my Dad. My Dad had dual American/Canadian citizenship and came to...
I had a text from a band buddy of mine today telling me to come up and play (it is our non-standard practice night). I showed up and was told that a local legend, Jerry Raney was going to sit in with us. He was one of the founding members or a band called The Beat Farmers who has some moderate...
If so what do YOU do to appease them? Me, I fix more than just my ball mark and put sand in the numerous divots I take. Not sure that is doing enough, though. Perhaps I need to sacrifice a chicken or something?
I just bought the TaylorMade Spider Limited putter. This gives me three different putters to work with. One is more of a blade style, one is a mid mallet, and the new guy is a mallet. I putted with it a immediately liked the balance and feel. Also like the SuperStroke Mid 2.0 grip better than my...
Freddie, I apologize for not having a video to post but I have just a basic question. My last few rounds I have been hitting more than the usual number of fat iron shots. Mentally, I haven't quite been sharp on the course during that time. Today when warming up I realized I wasn't getting much...
And I'm not talking about too much alcohol. In your swing what would you think is the number one reason things go bad. For me it is taking the club back too quickly. Sometimes I catch myself doing this early and some days I just don't have that awareness. I can do the same on putting as well.
Tiger had a chance but I don't think he will win another major. Will anyone ever achieve and sustain the type of dominance to win 19 majors? I say "no."
When I think of Nicklaus and Tiger I don't just think of the talent they had. To me, the success of both of them had as much to do with their mental toughness as to their talent. So which golfers do you identify as just being more mentally tough than other players?
I am going to go with Jason...
What kind of a putter are you. Are you a dying at the hole type of guy or do you try to take break out of the putt. Me, I am a dying at the hole guy and I do leave some putts short because of it, especially when the greens are slow.
I find I prefer a putter with no insert. For me I just feel the ball better. Played a putter with a composite insert and I really struggled with distance control. So what do y'all prefer?
So, I have been having issues of late getting off the tee. My shots were going from a slight fade to a dead pull. I figured it was an alignment issue. So put that in Google search and a very short 1 minute 38 second Ted Fort video came up that showed me I was setting up the club wrong at...
In the spirit of Freddie's recent posts I figured I would add this.
I use a single red dot right above and to the right of the number and another below the name on both sides of the ball.
I was away from the game for over 10 years and just got back into it about 18 months ago. Today was the first time since coming back that I broke 90, shooting an 88 (a 45 on the front but a 43 on the back). I have had a lot of 91s on my cards but just couldn't get into the 80s. I wasn't actually...
