It will be there tomorrow if they don't change them and not as long of a putt as 12 if you are on the front and the pin is back. 12th green is almost 40 yards (yes, yards) deeper than 7.
12 is just a giant green.

That first picture sure is a well protected green.
nice little par 3.

They put the pin in the front? Most of the time I have played it, the pin is middle or back. And it is a long putt when the pin is back and you are on the front.

I guess I haven’t paid much attention but DJs game has really fallen apart.

Just got a $150 gift card to a course I frequent from my parents for my upcoming birthday . Now the question is, do I use it for golf or something new from the pro shop.
Since you now have $150 you don’t have to spend out of your pocket you can use that saved money on either golf or something new from the pro shop

I really enjoy the PGA Championship and they have much improved it from the afterthought glorified Tour-type event it used to be, but I still don't see any good reason that it is still a major.
We could say the masters is nothing more than a limited field invitational and isn’t worthy of being a major too. Other than the US and British Open we could debate the merits or limitations of any event being a major. The main reason; which you typically ague against, is probably tradition along with how it represents the professional golfer in the US.

Haven't post for a while but want to share.
After playing the game from the age of 13, at the age of 61 I hit my first hole in one yesterday.
Congrats on the HIO!
Just now, Lacassem said:Hell yea this is awsome. Had a few on here lately.....the still aceless thread is dwindling!
Not dwindling fast enough; I’ll probably be in there forever.

Sorry for my poor description. Pretty confident it is swing not equipment related, happens with other sets as well. I have too much spin with each of my clubs with a very high launch angle. I have a tendency to come over the top which doesn’t help but even when I am on plane the problems persist. My comment on distance dispersion: seemingly similar quality shots have a high variance in carry. For my PW it is ~25yds and that range increases with longer irons. If that prompts any ideas, any tips would be appreciated.
My non educated opinion would be the same as others: flipping the club at impact. As a 9 handicap, you probably have somewhat effective contact. To find the right training aid, you really need to understand why you are doing what you are doing and fix the cause if the problem. Ideally a qualified instructor; you could do smart ball, maybe plane mate to help with sequencing or montes no turn cast drill.

not sure the clubs are the issue; I think he has some serious injury problems.

I mentioned the first time I went, but I wasn't as confident in my findings yet. Their response was that the machines are very accurate and they are correct.
After going up there for 2 weeks, and having played a few live rounds now, I'm extremely confident that the data is wrong.
Trackman devices are very accurate; there is no questioning that fact. Typically if there are inaccuracies it is related to setup or another external variable. You have gotten to the point that you don’t trust their units and they believe the units and environment is setup correctly so you may as well move on

What is wrong with this trackman facility!?!?! I've hit on 3 or 4 different bays and all are the same type of results. I think maybe the way the have it aligned may be off, but even then, you would think the "club to path" number would be the same and the shape would be correct.
Anybody have any idea what it could be??? Maybe the way I'm aligned to the machine (if they don't have it set up just right).
I'm really disappointed, as I thought I was getting so good lol, but I feel like I'm all screwed up now. AND if I had access to accurate data, it could really take me to a new levelHave you discussed your findings with the facility?
Possibilities: indoor swing syndrome, LM incorrectly setup, interference, balls.

I have seen it done different ways, but I always thought it made sense to start with the hardest handicap hole and go as far as needed rather than start at 18 and go backwards.
Is the hardest handicap hole on the front or the back?
as for tie breakers, the committee should have explained/documented all tie breaking procedures prior to play but like you said, there are multiple ways to break the tie.

I have an excessively high ball flight that lacks any spin control. It renders 9 iron through lob wedge useless in the wind. Even without wind, the distance dispersion across all clubs is really holding me back. Would appreciate any training aid recommendations
Your statements are pretty generic and difficult to assess. Not sure what a lack of spin control means….too much, too,little? 9 iron through lob should be clubs you can flight down. What is wrong with your distance dispersion?
Training aids are designed to help solve a particular problem and we don’t know the source of your self described high ball flight? Is it a swing or equipment issue?- Kenny B, GaDawg, Kansas King and 2 others

I like the concept of one length irons but I think there is a better middle ground to reduce the single length compromises. I wish more companies made a dual length set or a set designed for less length progression. The only dual length set I'm aware of is the Pinhawk set from Hireko. The Pinhawk set is designed for the 3,4, & 5 iron to be 38" and the shorter irons at 36.5". I think this is a better balance between scoring and long irons that having every iron at 37" to 37.5". I've always found that people stop using one lengths because the compromise is too great in the long run. You could also try building a set with less length progression, starting longer at the wedge and working up from there. It may be a little ugly as it will likely require lead tape but you or a club fitter should be able to work out the math so excessive amounts of lead tape aren't required.
EQUS golf is another option; they use 3 lengths: https://www.equsgolf.com
they were part of most wanted testing back in 2017.

Playing an easy course certainly helps, but I'll take it.
Easy or not, you still have to execute and score. nice round

Does anyone else find it ironic that in the video the incorrect method is demonstrated using a Cameron pivot tool
. I guess just because you can own a Scotty doesn’t mean you know how to fix a divot. The tool itself could be considered poorly designed since it sets up to pry the divot in the incorrect manner.

Few OTR putters will come in the weight range you are looking for. 370ish is probably your limit unless you get one of the older heavy putters. Counterbalancing is something you can easily do yourself with a heavy grip, or weights like in the super stroke grips or balance certified/tour lock systems. You could even insert your own DIY weight in the butt of the club.

I haven't checked to see if this guy has done this format with other tour players, but it's kind of cool getting a peek into their off the course life.
There is about 8 different ones; I have only watched the Marc Leishmann one since his house is in Virginia Beach which is about 40 minutes from my house.

So let's not pretend I'm even close to good. I suck at golf, but I like it. I think the best I've ever scored is 63 on 9 holes. I've got old Cobra bio cell red irons and an old Wilson driver.
If I had ~$600 to invest in my game, which of these would be the best purchase?
- A "good" set of irons fitted to me.
- A "good" driver and a couple of hybrids or wedges fit to me.
- A Garmin R-10 so I can work on my swings and have some fun hitting indoors.
- Lessons.
- A combo of some of the above items.
Thanks for the input!
My gut reaction is a combo of some of the above items. My first question would be where do you lose strokes on the course? Basically how well do you hit the ball... issues off the tee, issues with your irons, issues with short game, issues with putting? If you are able to get the ball off the ground fairly consistently I'd probably get some lessons and advice on clubs. If you struggle hitting the ball, it might make sense to find some clubs that are easier to hit and take some lessons.

I guess I take a different look at TV golf; score to me is irrelevant and I just watch to see who hits what shots and ultimately wins. While score is the measurement of who wins the winner could be -24 or +5 and I still find it just as entertaining.

So I kinda did a “thing” this week. As much ss I have raved about these irons—rightfully so BTW, there is one club I just don’t like. It’s the PW. I don’t know what it is. But I have consistently hit it 10 to 15 yards shorter than any other PW I have. I mean it was going the same distance as my GW in the d9 Forged. Been that way from the start.
So on a whim this week for my league round I took the PW out and replaced it with my D9 Foeged PW. I know the loft is a couple degrees weaker. Bit I was getting 105 or so out of it. And right on target as well.
It went so well I’m thinking of doing the same with the 9 iron and migjt even consider the 8.Now that would be a combo set you wouldn’t see every day ha
Loft off? Seems odd for one club to be out of whack unless there is an issue with the club.

@cnosil, you’ve dabbled in Adam Young’s stuff haven’t you? Thoughts?
I’ve done some light reading about his methods and have done a little of his stuff related to managing where you contact the ball on the face. I think @GolfSpy MPRhas gotten a little deeper.

Putter grips...
in General Q&A
Posted
IMO I wouldn't consider grip size as an influence on distance control unless you made a recent grip switch. As a described +4 handicap I am not sure what you consider to be speed problems; even with putting there are dispersion patterns associated with putting so you will hits putts long an short of the hole. The way to test the concept is to switch putter grip sizes and see how it influences your distance control.
