How long do you play a ball before retiring it?
pineneedlespro replied to aguybadatgolf's topic in General Equipment Talk
I play 18 holes with one golf ball then it goes in the practice bag to use for chipping, or experiment with a different shaft or driver or use to give lessons. -
For those golfers that really want to exercise for golf fitness----I found a great book just for golf even with a 11-day fitness program. "Get Yourself In GOLF SHAPE" by Cindy Reid w/Steve Eubanks. It has year round drills to build a strong flexible golf swing. It explains which muscle groups involved in the golf swing and so on 200+ pages.

I have been to the MASTERS tournament a dozen times. I attended the EZ-GO training for a week and they arranged a tee time for the 12 of us to play Augusta National on Friday morning (Jan. 1988). But it snowed that morning and the course was closed----I came so close to playing there.

It is best described in Tiger Woods book "How I Play Golf" chapter one pages 24 and 25, how light pressure is best when putting. -

New here!
pineneedlespro replied to Back9Scott's topic in Introduce Yourself/ WIYB (What's In Your Bag)
Snake eyes clubs are from Golfsmith (now out of business) the forged irons are good hitting clubs---in due time may want something more forgiving. Maltby clubs from Golfworks are a great deal (with different price points) and they will custom make them to fit the golfer not just something off the rack at a store. -
Putting Drills
pineneedlespro replied to SDunne's topic in Lessons, Drills, Mental Game, and Fitness Tips
Putting drills: Look at the hole while stroking the putter and watch the ball go in the hole from all distances, this will smooth out your stroke while looking a spot you want the ball to start on your intended line. Put a coin on the putter head (in hope that it stays there) to smooth out your stroke. Place a ball about 6 inches behind the putter and gently with the backstroke roll the ball backwards a little then take the follow through stroke to hit the intended ball towards the hole. The ladder drill to help with distance control. Find your grip pressure--lighter the better. Place a ball on the edge of the cup and from 6 feet away hit a ball firm enough to knock the other ball into the hole (helps with your concentration). Putting is a game within a game so treat it that way/make it fun to practice. -

what is the appropriate length of a putt to give?
pineneedlespro replied to ryan.mzzz's topic in General Q&A
When playing for cash no putts are given. Playing for fun its up to your group to give the ok/no particular distance.
