Played 9 this afternoon with my honey; same course / same front 9 as a few days ago... Today was 8 (EIGHT) shots better over 9 holes, for a +9/44. Gold tee 65.6/116/2557 yds. And that's with (count 'em up folks)... a 3 putt a 4 (FOUR) putt 3 (THREE) x 2-chips OTOH I pulled off 3 (three!) up & down Par saves, and had one other 1-putt! Golf #amiright

Love "real" Par 3s like that! Yeah agree those are great practice rounds

I've purchased online off Tire Rack; but check out Goodyear .. see if they have any current sales - and for only another $20 they come to you with a big van and do the whole job in your driveway. Hahaha love Dr. Nick!! One of the many many many great lines in The Simpsons: "..inflammable means 'flammable'? What a country!"

I LOVE THIS POST! .. I mean in the CHA thread, I kinda look at it like maybe holding out a wriggling wagging puppy in front of a young child... (.. no I don't need another wedge.. but it's a Betty! .. no I don't need another wedge.. and besides I play a 60 for the loft.. but it's a Betty!.. no I don't need another wedge...) Ordered.

Nice!! Really trying to internalize that myself ... And being out to the course (of course!). Sounds like a productive lesson

Glad you found something that's working well for you! Funny enough, I've been gaming an ER5 for several years now and .. I think it's working ok for me .. until it's not... Are you planning on any more side by side tests?

Good TGIF Morning fellow golf people!! Sunny and clear here but temps dropped again .. been up and down .. and there was a frost delay on the course! Not going out until later, anyway .. have to make a hopefully steady-play redemption of my last 9 hole round and attempt to limit the number of penalties, errors, mistakes and other (expletive deleted)-ups Hope y'all have a great day and a fun TGIF!!!

Don't know how the parents and yourself are carrying on .. I think I would've quite literally melted down and become non-functional .. my sincere sympathies........

I think I get what you're saying. I have a SkyTrak (which for no good reason gets very little use) and it sits in front of where you stand .. not behind on the target line like many others .. so I got used to lining up parallel to it. In fact put a piece of round driveway marker in the slot in the metal case for a visual aid. Maybe alignment sticks (or draw lines) on your hitting mat at home that are parallel with the LM target line..?

That's curious (not that mine is so great either indoors or outdoors) .. any ideas on how/which way you were off and why?

Really looking at reduced taper grips but this one may be worth a test. Thx!

Yes - that has really helped me out, too! Easy to put in a few reps and the constant reinforcement is beneficial. Of course I still suck .. but nice the read of your progress!!

Got out for 9 at a new to me course - really nice layout set into some wetlands and woods. Started out ok .. a kind of surprising "easy" par on the first then two good (for me) bogeys. Then #4 .. I dunno... Tee -> slice -> splash. Drop -> chunked. Attempted shot on green -> fluffed, splash. Drop -> barely made it onto the front of the green. Just to make the pain complete? 3 putt... This is the view from the back tees on a Par 3 - 200 from the Blacks, yes basically all carry! Fortunately the Gold and Red were waaay further up, with a clean shot .. no water .. and only about 120 into the wind for me. But yeah still came up short, on the front fringe... Here's another short Par 4 where yep this guy drove it straight down the middle and through the fairway into the rough at the end! (..thank you firm and fast fairway ) And, well, after this things fell apart... Managed a bogey on the next Par 3 .. almost had a miraculous up & down after a terrible awful horrible nasty bad not good attempt at a tee shot. #8 and #9 went double, triple....... Hey guys, did I mention this last time? Work. In. Progress.

Good Morning all and yikes .. I am 7 pages behind here!! Hope everyone has been doing well! Sitting here with my honey looking at the ocean .. no not a surf day, just out for a walk. Maybe a little golf later - overcast, cool and a little breezy but hey it's an outdoor sport! Well hope everyone who's working has a literally easy day and hope everyone who's not working has a fun day
