    Music on the Golf Course?

    in Breaking News and Debate

    Posted

    There is a BIG BIG difference between playing music that you and your cart mate agree on and played at a volume that does NOT bother others.      and playing music or other stuff at a volume level that potentially bothers others on the golf course.      The question I would ask is...   are you playing that for your own enjoyment or just trying to get attention and annoy others.     Usually the answer is quite obvious....    unfortunate  

    BOA vs. LACES

    in General Q&A

    Posted

    I have used BOA for several years...    I would never go back to laces.   It's so much easier to adjust your shoes as the round goes on.  For me, The shoes loosen up a bit as the round goes on and just a turn of the knob does the trick.  INHO the extra money for them is definitely worth it.   THANKS

    Planned 2030 Golf Ball Rollback

    in Breaking News and Debate

    Posted

    When you look at the expected results by swing speeds.  The maximum expected distance reduction with a driver is 15 yards and that is a one time reduction or at least it seems that way.  maybe there's more to come ??   Given the .56 yds gained per year as the PGA said has been gained over the last 30 years, they would have to do this again in 30 years to stay at the expected distance result from their suggested distance adjustment.   Who knows...   IMHO  if we just continue on with no adjustment to the ball..    and  think about going back to the club lengths and lofts (irons) of 30 years ago, would be an interesting study..  Thanks for all you do ....   jy  

    This is really an interesting video

    In the first video...  I think the analysis is very interesting...  but trying to apply the number of changes will be extremely difficult for the average golfer especially without the equipment to compare, let alone the time to spend making the changes.   The second video kinda explains what Anika and David Duval did very successfully...    I had the opportunity to ask Anika at a practice area...  if she raised her head when playing from a bunker and she explained that she did that to keep her head/neck aligned with her spine though out her swing.  

    To Tee or Not to Tee?

    in General Q&A

    Posted

    I've always found that putting a ball on a tee, especially for beginners allows them to concentrate on the swing mechanics and not have the frustration of trying to get the ball airborne, then lower the tee until you remove it for at least the irons.   For myself..  on par 3's, I always use a tee regardless of club selection.     thanks  

    Me or loss of etiquette in the game?

    in General Q&A

    Posted

    What you experienced seems to be the trend among young people.   Hats on backwards, shirts not tucked in...  standing on another person's line of play,  yelling while other are trying to hit a shot.   playing music loud enough to be heard a few holes away.  Watching PGA, etc. on TV and listening to the verbal comments, yelling, etc. and it's somewhat promoted by the PGA...  tells you what's to come for the future of golf.    TOP GOLF is educating the next wave of golfers that we will be dealing with on the course.  No one is trying to educate the up coming youngsters to the etiquette of the game we all have grown to love..   unfortunate.

    Any Crosshanded players out there??

    in General Q&A

    Posted

    I have putted cross handed for about 30 years now...   have been chipping cross handed as well for about5 years..   trying to get the longer pitch shots to work cross handed too.   sometimes I chip short delicate chips one handed using just my right hand and have become pretty good at it.  I'm 76,   15 hdcp ..   used to be better, but age has taken distance away unfortunately.    Advice...   Try chipping cross handed...  seems that the pros are trying it and using it successfully. .   use putting stroke, especially if you putt cross handed ...  GOOD LUCK TO ALL..   

    Gimme Putts

    in Breaking News and Debate

    Posted

    Gimmes are necessary to keep friends.    personally, don't like them because there's no standard.    Is it   1 foot, 2 feet, 3 feet, 4 feet or based on possible score...   Spreads into competition, which doesn't protect the field.    When you play with people that do gimmes, they usually don't follow the rules of golf in other areas.    If you were to relate it to another sport, such as basketball.   then missing a layup, should be rewarded with a point.   sounds dumb, but that's effectively what gimmes do to the great game of golf.  People see it in match play and then assume it applies to stroke play as well.   

    Unofficial Poll - White Pants

    in Fashion & Style

    Posted

    Colors or lack thereof make golf a fun arena for attire.  Everyone chooses what they're comfortable in and what their friends won't criticize them for wearing.  I wear colors and white pants frequently and personally, I find it fun to see who says what.  Some people just can't handle the comments and wear black/grey/brown every day...  It's a fun environment for a social experiment.  Enjoy your choice.
