  1. Weather has turned here in Central Indiana and Sunday looked like our last day for a while. We decided to just go 9 holes early and try to beat incoming storms. Was wet and muddy so we were rolling the ball over. Definitely not real golf and I had 0 expectations to do anything other than get out of the house. So of course.....2 pars to start. Birdies on 3 and 4. Sloppy bogey with wedge in my hands on 5 so 1 under. Then make 30 footer for birdie on 6, hit a great 5 wood second shot over a pond to 6 feet for eagle on 7. Par the par 3 eighth and punch a 5 iron from 170 into a 15 mph breeze to 4 feet on 9. Made that to play the last 4 holes 4 under and shoot 31! Beat my low for the year on that side by 2 shots, and had averaged 38 for the season. No swing thoughts, no putting thoughts, no worries, just out chasing it around. Was almost like my clubs were saying "We told you all year long WE'RE NOT THE PROBLEM! Now go put us away and do some work on yourself this off season."

  3. Very interesting and well written. It's early in the morning though so I honestly have no idea what other site rhymes with hex. Is there a "golfsex.com" out there I should know about (Googles furiously)? Sadly there isn't. There should be. Sent from my Nexus 6P using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  4. Good luck Jax. I bet you will get iron shots jumping off the face Sent from my Nexus 6P using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  5. Nice swing there Dave. I'm guessing you keep it in the short grass most of the time Sent from my Nexus 6P using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  6. By early extension I assume you mean the old humping the barrel thing? Im sure there's tons of drills out there to stay in your posture but the easiest is setting your bag or alignment stick up against your backside and still feeling it there through transition. The other feeling (not really a drill) I like for this is to really feel yourself pressuring the ground through your lead foot as you start down. No way to hump forward if you're pressing down Sent from my Nexus 6P using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  7. Stud I don't know that your ball position is much of an issue. Yes it's back a little relative to your left foot, but we don't really care about the left foot as much as the left shoulder. You're basically under the left shoulder which is fine. It could move up a ball width from there to encourage swinging up a touch more but nothing drastic. Someone else in the thread recommend the head cover under the right armpit drill and I think that's spot on. Looks like the lifting of the right elbow at the end of the back swing is your culprit here. Getting that thing to stay in it's position better will move you into a more rounded turn at the top, which should put you in a better position to attack from the inside.

  8. That's not surprising. You're a bit steep and a bit over the top. That's not necessarily bad, you can Bruce Lietzke your way around all day. But it does indicate a player who will likely be better hitting irons off the ground than sweeping a driver off a tee. I'm guessing you hit lots of nice little fade iron shots but can miss with the driver both dead pull or slice if the face gets too open. I don't know that I would overhaul it or anything, if it's repeatable you probably know what you can or can't do pretty well. Sent from my Nexus 6P using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  9. Get "The Golf Omnibus" by P.G. Wodehouse. A collection of his short stories written in the early 1900s. Wonderfully funny. You won't learn any technique but you will get a look into the heart and soul of the game. Sent from my Nexus 6P using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  10. Courtesy of an Irish caddie after a bladed iron shot rolled up on the green- "that one's a sister-in-law. You're on 'er but you shouldn't be" Sent from my Nexus 6P using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  11. Not sure if Krank inspires that kind of passion. I think they have always refused to participate in MGS testing but talk trash about it. I'm sure their stuff is fine but I doubt that you will find much difference from most OEMs. Sent from my Nexus 6P using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  12. I walk using my click gear push cart if I'm playing my own Ball. Ride during scrambles or playing wednesday night beer league Sent from my Nexus 6P using MyGolfSpy mobile app

  14. +10 hdcp lol. Sent from my Nexus 6P using MyGolfSpy mobile app

  16. Chisag is absolutely right. You have a good option and a poor one. Poor option is ream out the hosel to accept a parallel tip shaft, which is not something I would recommend. Good option is find a set of TT shafts to install. Don't cost much in steel so worth a shot Sent from my Nexus 6P using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  17. I've done a variation of that against one if my buddies who is about a 20 hdcp. He plays a 1 man scramble against my worst ball scramble. If he gets two cracks at everything he can make some pars and lots of bogies and if im playing my worst ball on each shot comes out about the same. Putting is the worst, if I make a 10 footer I have to make it again for it to count. It is interesting and nerve-wracking Sent from my Nexus 6P using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  18. You meant Butler Bulldogs of course Sent from my Nexus 6P using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  19. Walk 90% but push cart only. I've got plantar fasciitis in one foot and if I carry 6 holes I'm crawling Sent from my Nexus 6P using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  20. I doubt that any of us junkies on this site would need to worry about using equipment through it's wear cycle.
  21. There's something going on with your greens for them to be doing that. I'm in the Midwest and we punch spring and fall, alternating large and small tine punches. That seems to be the standard in this area
  22. Was in Phoenix this weekend and finally got to go try the EvnRolls in person at a PGATourSS. Was convinced walking in that I would end up with the ER7 Fang model and walked out w ER2. Played 3 rounds on golf courses I had never seen before and it behaved very well for a newborn. That's to MGS for putting these on my radar, I would not have known about them otherwise
  23. Do you mean there are holes poked in the sides of the grip? I would think trying to go back through them with air could tear those open pretty good. Just go through the opening in the butt end with the compressor need and you should be fine
  24. She's an odd one. Short and fat in one pose and ridiculously long in another
  25. Our Beabull (beagle/bulldog mix) heard there's more winter on the way. She can't even
