Negative Attack Angle

I was playing a par 5 in a men’s night match play. The round wasn’t going great so I thought for fun I would hit my old Callaway great big Bertha 2 that I put in the bag for a laugh( see pic) . Absolutely strip my drive +285 yards. Sitting with a 6 iron into the green. I Proceeded to squander my opportunity. I turn on the ball, sending my 2nd shot left into the bush by the green. My playing competitor miraculously finds my ball and I actually have a shot. I’m stoked, but I have hit over a bunker with a large tree in the middle of it. The 3rd shot hits a branch of said tree and lands in the bunker. My 4th shot is shot of the day. I’m in the bunker, and the branch’s from the tree make it impossible for me to hit it out higher than 10 feet in the air. And the pin is still probably 15 yards away. I close the face of my 60 degree, put it back in my stance, and swing. The ball blasts out of the sand, punching through the window in front of me, lands on the green, hops twice, and stops like the emergency brake was just pulled. The ball ends up 3 feet from the hole and I drain the par put to win the hole.

This is actually cool because I was talking to my wife about wanting a kids cart seat that could be harnessed to the cart. This looks like the best option.

Really well put, we did a trial run on Monday my wife and I took my daughter for a nice 9 holes. We got a cart and basically played hot potato with her while the other person hit the ball. My daughter did great, was happy the whole way through and was crawling on the greens. Great first step.

O man that’s a killer idea! have a daycare / child minding at the golf course. Unfortunately, my course definitely doesn’t have that. Milk, baby snacks, toys, and diapers are all in the bag. I’m rearing to go The only way to be better than tiger is to start earlier !

I couldn’t have put it better. I agree will all your points and I’m excited to get out and be with my daughter. I’ll let you guys know how it goes.

I hit driver of the deck a handful a times a season. It is a shot i am super picky when it comes to the lie. When the lie good, it a green light for long par 5s, keeping the ball low, or when i duff my tee'd drive. I actually have pretty good success with it as my "negative attack angle" helps get a good trajectory, usually a little cut. its a fun shot that i am always excited to hit

thank you @Hacker60521 i checked out the website and product review.

Thank you for the response and insight. It is nice to know it can been done. I agree regarding the timing for safety, that is definitely my priority. I also fully expect to have to bail on a moments notice if she is not into it. I really appreciate your recommendation because it helped me reframe the situation. I need to look at it as spending time, interacting, and bonding with my daughter through golf and not just taking her on the course so I can play. I am looking forward to trying to make it fun and memorable for the both of us. I will definitely keep you posted thanks again

I dont disagree with you one bit especially the it going fast part. However, we gotta go on walks together anyway and there are still naps that need to be had. So why not on the course ? Haha

I saw that on instagram, I thought I was cool but a bit gimmicky. Curious if anyone actually bought one of these

In September, my wife will be returning to work from her Maternity leave and i took a month off to look after my 1 year old daughter as we are waiting on childcare. My immediate thought was, how can I take her golfing with me? My current game plan is to put her in a stroller, load up a diaper bag, and have a net around the stroller for safety. (Luckily, my course doesn’t have a lot of “fore” holes). For myself I am going to pick up an ultralight carry bag and walk as many holes as my daughter lets me Is this the best way to go about it ? I would love to hear what other parents have done, how it went, what worked and what didn’t.

Cut line will be = (even) scoring average final round = 70.8

Call me crazy but it would be wild if Phil came out like he did last year. It was all about brooks but Phil was tied for 2nd. My dark horse is Tom Kim. I liked him on full swing and that would love to see the guy compete

Cut +1 low Am - Hagestad
