    Looking for a left handed stand bag

    There is a lefthanded standbag from Ouul. the straps are on the reverse side,  open side of the bag is top left shoulder. I am lefthanded but do not feel that this makes a big difference - especially when the weight of the bag is evenly divided between the straps.

    Actually a decent looking bag. But like you said not sure if it would make a difference 

    Why don't they use artificial turf on greens?

    Theres an executive course here in Columbus that has synthetic greens.  I played it once and it was awful.  I dont know what they put under the turf but the greens were so hard that your ball would hit the green and bounce like a superball and they were so stupid fast that it wasnt even fun.  I played about 3 holes and went home because I would 5 putt every green.

    Exactly what I’d expect from turf greens. I would  imagine they bounce like frozen greens. No bueno and takes the fun out of it. You’d almost have to put a cushion under the Turf to be more accepting. Then who knows how long that would last for

    Thinking about my club, All the danger is in front. Forced carries into every green except 1 hole. Interesting the danger area is off the back. If that’s the case I’d say your playing them correctly then

    Stretch out your limbs at the very least for at least 5 minutes.  I take a club and stretch my arms and legs to loosen them up a bit.  I have a bad back now, so it's a must for me to stretch out a bit.  And if you are not going to hit range balls, simulate your driver swing about 30 times as fast as you can after stretching.  The key for me in situations like this is to warm up without hitting a ball the same way I would if I had hit a small bucket or even just a handful of balls.

    Do you have at least 5 minutes to practice putt?  By all means, if nothing else, test the speed of the greens by hitting a handful of practice putts at the very least.  I mean, I can hit 3 crappy shots on the first hole and still walk off with par if I can make the putt.

    Another thing to try is having a "go to cold club" that isn't necessarily driver.  A lot of first holes are the easiest holes on the golf course, because the architect knows that every player needs at least one hole to get going, so they typically start you off easy.  Hit a club off of that tee that will get you in the fairway, even if it's like a 7 iron.  I'm less concerned with how far I hit my first tee shot as I am of just finding the fairway.  That first tee shot sets the tone for the entire round.  If you are cold and had no warm up and then you hit a bad tee shot right away, you will probably already be defeated before you've even hit your 2nd shot.

    Yeah I can test the greens which I usually putt a couple balls but it’s more the tee shots and approaches on the first couple/9 holes
