    I've allowed one person to swing in my garage besides me. He was considering buying my old 3w. Using the small tee, he proceeded to get all the way under it at 100mph. Popped straight up. I didn't think I'd have to worry about net height with a wood...



    Oh well. He bought the club and I can patch this before the wife sees it.

    Sounds about right. I have a few buddies who don't play golf often and come over to hit on my simulator. There are lots of dents in my steel roof in my barn. For some reason they always want to start out hitting driver with the tallest tee to get warmed up. haha!

    GoSports Pro vs Country Club Elite Mat

    FWIW, I have had a Fiberbuilt grass series mat for 10 years and use it multiple times per week. The middle section is matted down some from tens of thousands of shots, but the rest is flawless. I have never had any pain using it. Fat shots don't go as far, like in real life. It's been a great mat. I'm going to get another insert on order for when I need it.

    Back 2 Basics Pro Path Putting Mirror Review

    This will be my first review. Lately, my putting has been struggling and I’ve been researching aids. I stumbled upon this gem while digging into Cam Smith’s legendary putting skills. I kept hearing on TV about how his putts drop dead center. So, I splurged on this mirror, thinking, “Why not give my putting a much-needed makeover?” And guess what? It actually worked wonders!

     

    The Pro Path Putting Mirror offers a solution to the nuances of putting mechanics. Boasting the endorsement of PGA Tour Pros and expertly crafted by elite golf instructors, this mirror is designed to fine-tune every aspect of your putting stroke. It focuses on improving eye and shoulder alignment, as well as refining your backstroke and follow-through.

     

    One standout feature in my opinion is what they call, the ProPath Arc. It has been engineered to guide your putting stroke along the ideal path. It took me a while to get used to it. At first I noticed I was using my hands way too much and was all over the place. But after several sessions, I’m automatically using my shoulders for a much quieter stroke and my ball easily starts on the intended path. Once I had some familiarity with the mirror, I took it to my course and was blown away. I was draining 12 footers like they were nothing. Left to right, straight, right to left, didn’t matter. I had so much confidence.

     

    The Pro Path Putting Mirror is reversible, both left and right-handed golfers can use the same unit. It’s really easy to use. It has eye and shoulder alignment lines that further enhance its effectiveness by ensuring proper posture over the ball, a crucial aspect of a successful putting stroke. My tendency is to stand way too far back, so it was surprising how far I had to move up.

     

    The mirror came with a very nice black microfiber carrying pouch. The optional putting gates provide additional value. I didn’t purchase the gates, so I can’t vouch for those, but many touring pros use them during their warmup. An easy startup guide is included and simplifies the process of putting (no pun intended) the mirror into your training routine. 

     

    In conclusion, the Back 2 Basics Golf Pro Path Putting Mirror has proven itself as a worthy investment for any golfer seeking to enhance their putting skills. I mean if Cam Smith uses it, good enough for me. Get ready to “Level Your Game Up”!

    2024 Masters Ticket Lottery Rejections?

    I started entering maybe 8 or 9 years ago. I did get selected for a Monday practice round in 2019 and my brother and I went for the day. Was amazing to say the least. Anyway, this year was a major disappointment, I didn't receive an email saying the sign up was open. I have been so busy at work I completely forgot about it and missed the entire sign up period. Did anyone else not receive an email?

    Baseball, Hockey & Golf-an observation.

    Played hockey all my life (still playing 2 - 3 times a week in winter).  I can agree that it makes the transition easier, but I wonder (just my own thoughts) if the slapshot also contributes to the "over the top" style golf swing.  I've noticed it in my swing and when I watch my 14 year old play golf, I can also see how he hits the ball like a slap shot and in turn creates a slice.

    My other 12 year old who doesn't play hockey though hits a nice straight through shot and almost dead straight.

    No data to go off of though, just my observations.

    Plus, lots of hockey players have nothing do during the spring and summer months (especially if you play for the Leafs!!)

    100% agree the slapshot contributes to an over the top swing. I've played hockey for almost my entire life and still do. I would shoot pucks for hours when I was younger. I used to have a terrible slice and it's taken me years to overcome it, so I'm in total agreement!

    You definitely need to persevere through it. It's a very large disadvantage to lose distance just because you are afraid of it. Like anything in life, to be successful you must put in the time and work. I was in the same boat, I had a very bad slice and would often top or chunk my drives. I took many lessons, recorded myself swinging and slowly reeled it in. Now I am very comfortable standing on the tee knowing that I'll hit more fairways then I miss. It is the best feeling in the world piping one right down the middle, especially coming from where I was. You can do it!

    My course uses Golf Genius.  And I play with a group that uses EZ Golf League.  Both work well for our needs.

    Our course started using Golf Genius this year and I was skeptical at first, but it is very easy to track scoring and it's nice seeing a live leaderboard for events. We also used it for the season for a league and you could see scores for each person for every week. It was really nice.
