Tiger Woods. Great golfer but also a very self centered and arrogant person, even though the media portrayed him as some godly icon. Not even a nice person but most people didn't care as he'd been engrained in your minds as synonymous with golf. I never watched golf for years as the only person you could see on TV during a match was Tiger, even if he wasn't playing good, they'd show him over the tournament leaders, over, and over, and over again. Even if your favorite player was in the top 5 you couldn't watch it cause Tiger was on the screen. Really made me give up watching golf for 10 years as how do you follow favorites when they got zero screen time? I see the PGA still hasn't learned this lesson. Thus the rise of tours like LIV where everyone gets coverage. Like who cares what kind of sandwich Tiger was eating.... show me golfers in the hunt!!!!

egg cartons? I know we recycle them here in Canada -
Morning all, Beautiful day here in Saskatchewan and courses are starting to open. Should've been open last weekend, but mother nature decided to give us one more snow.... pretty much all gone now, and all courses should be open by the weekend.

Quite a bit yes. On my home course yes. To get to 14 clubs I have to pick 2 out of 62, 2 iron, 3 wood, 5 wood. So course dependant. At my home course I usually take 62, and wind dependant on the other as hole 1 is a pretty short par 4 if you go over lots of trees but only need about 235 carry. Easy 150 lay up. I always go for it and I'd say 5 wood is in my bag the most. 62 is in unless really windy at home.

full swings no. But on wedge matrix I choke down for all partial shots. If I want carry 3 less yards I choke down more, for 3 yards more choke up. So my 97 yard 50 degree shot is only to 10:00 keeping my arms stiffer than full shots. It results in around 6000 spin instead of 10000. I find approach shots much easier than in the past since incorporating this into my game.

I had the Garmin s62, and used every round for a couple years. Then it just stopped working. I called Garmin, and unfortunately my warranty was up. The Rep said send it back and they would send me a refurbished unit. I was pretty pumped and happy about the great service. Once the refurbished unit showed up, I used it for 2 rounds and it died.... same problem. So without any tracking unit atm. Unsure if I would go the Garmin route again as that was extremely expensive watch to last only 2 years.

Yes, I've gotten better from strategy and course management videos. Swing tips videos probably not.

My dog looks dead, lol. He had a hard day of destruction... laying in a pile of garbage. Floor underlay, drywall, someones coffee cup, all stuff he collected from the yard

with lessons just on my iron swing last year, a side effect was my driver carried 30 yards further with no speed or driver training.
-
I agree with everything in the article. Biggest one for me was to get rid of the 120 yard slice, lol. Which is covered under lessons. Whenever someone asks me for a tip, I say go for lessons. Wish I started my lessons 20 years earlier, could've stopped a lot of pain and despair lol

Going to start walking courses instead of riding - Any advice?
Shifty replied to brogies's topic in General Q&A
If you happen to go the clicgear route. As someone with all the attachments, the steering knob is the best attachment without a doubt. It takes about half the effort to push the cart, and doesn't put extra strain on your wrists when turning or going up a hill. Worth every penny. Buy it first. -
Morning all! Think its going to be a great week! Yesterday I had my first lesson out of 10. Apparently I let myself get lazy on a few parts of my swing, lol. Was hitting more crisply than before. Got to play a 4 man scramble on the sim tonight, so hopefully can golf well. Driving Ranges are pretty much all open now, and courses opening up slowly. Lots opening on the upcoming weekend. Way earlier than usual. So hopefully be golfing outdoors next weekend!!!

Good morning all. Gonna try watch the Masters here at work. Hopefully its slow today lol

Do You Own A Launch Monitor?

I have a GC2. Probably best buy for the buck nowadays. -No subscription fees for GC2 -works with most to all software -great for sim golf -portable -can buy replacement batteries, and replacement flash modules I did upgrade from the original skytrak, The difference was night and day, even though my skytrak was set up perfect and didn't have too much delay. If I was to upgrade it would be to a Uneekor eye xo2 for an overhead unit, and club data As a warning to others, some of the cheaper ones do not do well with simulation software, or the shortgame sucks, or no putting. Do your research if you want to go the sim route.
