Tap In

There are some dumb things to say on that list, but I don't think that I have ever heard a lot of them in a passive aggressive way. "That'll play" is no different that saying, "good shot", 'good ball", "shot", or "nice". The author needs to chill or take up a new hobby. Passive aggressive is the guy in the group behind you sitting in the middle of the fairway while your foursome takes way too long to putt and clear the green. If you are always hearing these things in your group, it is probably someone trying to passively encourage you to calm the f down before you have a heart attack.

ShotScope is definitely the way to go if you aren't looking for another subscription service. I have been using the V3 watch and tags for the past two seasons and love the stats it tracks and I now don't have any delusions about how far I hit each club. The ability to review your round and the decisions you made can really help you improve your course management and shot selection. I just pulled the trigger on upgrading to the X5 since it looks nicer, has a touchscreen and the ability to place the pin.

This is a prime example of "if you want something done right, do it yourself". However, this thread makes me wonder if it really would make any difference. Yes, the 1 degree open at impact will cause you to miss a 10' putt, but perhaps the grip that is not square could help some people bring the face square at impact. With all the different ways to grip and swing a putter, maybe grip angle is the next generation of putter fittings. Just a thought...

Here are some rules I came up with for teeing it forward. I recommend using your best Jeff Foxworthy impression. If your boom stick results are more in line with that of a broom stick, ...you should tee it forward. If your GIR% is lower than your handicap, ...you should tee if forward. If you have to pull driver on a par 3 in order to "lay up", ...you should tee it forward. If your fairways missed is higher than your blood pressure, ...you should tee it forward. If you can throw your putter farther than you can hit a drive, ...you should tee it forward.

I have tried many different “golf” sunglasses lenses. The best that I have found for reading greens, and in general, are just a polarized brown lens you can get anywhere. Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy

It was a two-fingers of Hogback High Rye Bourbon kind of night for me. The weekend can’t get here quick enough. Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy

I have entered into that same debate recently. I currently have a big gap problem due to not hitting my 4i well. carry distances: 19 degree 5w - 230 22 degree 4i - 200 25 degree 5i - 197 So I can either get a wood, hybrid or utility iron to fill the gap, or just spend the time figuring out the 4i issue. Part of me wants a 7-8 wood just to see how it goes since I hit the 5w so well. It is my go-to club from most tee boxes when I must hit the fairway. (Note: I know that some people will comment that a 9w is the equivalent of a 4i but the number is irrelevant as long as it fits the gap.)

My recommendation is to take advantage of both of those companies demo programs. Get them both at the same time and put them head to head. They both charge you $20 to demo 2 clubs. It would be $40 well spent. As for tweaking the angles I had the opposite miss than you, and would miss right. I was able to bring it back to center (most of the time) by raising my lie angle to 4 degrees upright. TXG had a great video recently on the impact of adjusting lie angles and how it changes other things like swing weight. i.e. flattening the lie increases swing weight and also effectively lengthens the club. So by going more upright it was good that I also had an extra 1/2" on my irons. I've linked the video if you are interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6a1Sr6gb98

I use both. I have Golfshot GPS that helps me plan the hole by giving me options to hit the fat part of the fairway and know what I will be leaving myself into the green. I like to leave a full club in rather than deal with partial shots. Then I switch to the rangefinder to zero in on the pin for my second/third shot. Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy

In addition to the lie, there is most likely a difference in the shafts that could also impact the way you deliver the club face. The thickness and shape of the sole will mostly impact turf interaction. The v-sole on the Srixon should minimize digging. Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy

I didn’t know much about it but watched a few videos just now and heard enough. Many of their fundamentals are sound but anytime someone says to keep your left ear to the ground at impact, I am out... when your spine is in that extreme tilted position (lateral flexion) and you apply shear force it is a recipe for blowing out your back. Now this may not be one of the core concept but the instructor said it so it is a no from me. I had back surgery 15 years ago so I am extremely sensitive to poor spine health practices in golf. I want to keep playing for a long time. Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy

Just got a bottle of Dry Fly Triticale whiskey. For those that don’t know, triticale is a hybrid grain that takes the best of wheat and rye and puts it into one grain. I am really enjoying the little bite of the rye. A splash of water makes it a very enjoyable dram. Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy

I always pre-load a couple Aleve before a round. Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy

I totally agree. Each day I am looking for a specific taste so I rotate all the time but I also like to compare similar whisk(e)ys to one that I already had. This leads to an ever growing collection where finishing a bottle off is only when it becomes necessary to keep it from losing it’s “essence” for lack of a better word. My most recent acquisition was a gift from a client, a bottle of Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey. I had been curious about it for years and I was very pleasantly surprised. It earned a three day run... Somehow, free is always tastier.[emoji3] Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy

Ram box set with stand bag. The whole set probably cost $150 at the time. I broke the heads off the 7i and 4i on the driving range within 6 months. I got my 2-wheel pull cart at a yard sale for $10. It has lasted for 11 years so I think I got my money’s worth on that one. Recently the plastic parts have started to give out so I am looking to upgrade this year. Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy

With only 7 clubs you were probably being more creative and just playing what you knew was possible rather than the 1 in 20 hero shots. I had back surgery 15 years ago and now when my back get tired toward the end of the round I start to play better because I focus more on my technique. Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy

I would love to be able to get a hold of a bottle of Blanton’s but it next to impossible to get in Colorado. The big liquor stores have a wait list (2 yrs minimum wait) and the smaller stores can’t even get it. Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy

I’m hoping my greatest shot is still ahead of me. But the feeling that brings me back every time is that pured iron into a green. To take from Tin Cup, it is like a tuning fork rings in your loins. Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy

I say no, unless there is someone by the cup and witnesses the miracle. I know that my eyesight is not good enough to say if it hit the cup or just got close to it. If you want to claim it in your group or friends, the more power to you, but it shouldn’t go on the plaque unless it drops or was seen up close. Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy

I’m a grounder. I’ve tried hovering but never stuck with it long enough to get used to it with anything other than the putter. Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy

When the snow is melted Colorado is still playing. Walking only, don’t show any earlier than 10 min before your tee time, pay online, don’t touch the flag stick or people. Foam was placed in the cup so your ball is easily grabbed. Facilities are closed, and no rakes or water provided. Basically, if you didn’t bring it, don’t touch it. Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy

Most of the ones already mentioned but add these: My only source for instruction is RotarySwing.com since it is a complete method an not a bunch of band-aid fixes. (I chased those for far too long) https://www.youtube.com/user/cquinton Golf Sidekick has great course management advice and promotes making golf fun. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaeGjmOiTxekbGUDPKhoU-A Golf VLOGS UK, great people that love golf.
