Serious question, what would a scratch amateur shoot at a course in PGA tournament condition? Considering there are PGA pros shooting rounds in the 80s at nearly every PGA event, I have to assume they would have a tough time breaking 90.

I'd be so much better at this game if I could hit driver with any kind of consistency whatsoever. I cannot stop coming over the top with the driver no matter what I do... might be time for a lesson

Ribsauce posted:Can anyone recommend some good youtube videos for learning to hit fairway woods and hybrids? For a guy who totally sucks. If you're struggling to break 100 I wouldn't even try to hit your fairway metal off the deck - just use them to tee off when appropriate. I'm a mediocre player (14 index) and I rarely hit my woods off the deck, it's the hardest "standard" shot in golf imo. Like Nerdrock said, for hybrids use your iron swing, meaning you hit down on the ball instead of trying to sweep it. And don't try to kill the ball, swing easy. That was a big mental hurdle for me starting out, I was always trying to kill the ball with my longer clubs which causes all sorts of problems. Shorter clubs are easier to hit, this is the case for every golfer including tour pros, so it's no surprise that you are better with your mid-short irons. The longer the shaft on the club, the more magnified any swing faults or mistakes will be. So use that to your advantage. I was a 100+ shooter like you only a few years ago, so I'll share some tips a buddy gave me that helped me start breaking 100 consistently:

I like how you claim to be "mediocre/bad" at putting and then in the same post, there's a card showing a round with 27 putts in which you only failed to get up and down once when you missed the green.

Ribsauce posted:How does that work? I try to film my swing with my Macbook Pro in iMovie but it is too blurry to tell anything. Would a phone (Moto X 2014) work for a golf swing? Correct. Get someone to film you or amazon has little monopod things you can stick in the ground to hold your phone.

Generally, if you have to ask then it doesn't really matter what ball you play. Although different balls do feel different on short game shots and putting, but again, if you have to ask then it probably won't matter yet. Buy whatever is cheap.

So you hit your shag bag and then walk down range to pick up your balls while everyone else may or may not still be hitting? That poo poo would never fly in the litigious 'Merica.

Would like some feedback on my position at the top of my swing... been working on a shorter backswing and earlier wrist set lately, it's working well with my irons from about 6-7i thru wedges but my longer clubs, especially driver, are not having as good of results. I've got a two way miss going, snap hook and/or push fade. http://i.imgur.com/1smgq2R.jpg http://i.imgur.com/vVOqu2I.jpg Seems like I don't have enough depth, in the first one the club face looks open club looks across the line.

What's the best way to calculate handicap strokes in a two man best ball match? Team 1: handicaps 3 and 10 Team 2: handicaps 12 and 14 Is it easiest to just give everyone strokes based on their handicap or would it make more sense to have the lowest guy play as a scratch and then calculate based off of that - so the 10 would get 7 strokes, 12 gets 9 and the 14 gets 11

BCRock posted:You've already gotten yourself better at golf than most amateur golfers will ever be so you'll be able to tell pretty quickly if the guy you're taking lessons from is any good or not. Just ask lots of questions and if he can't explain why he's having you do a particular drill then just find someone else who can. Yeah, the lesson was awesome. I had the right idea regarding what I was doing wrong but was not going about fixing it the right way. Video analysis of my swing by an actual pro was a huge eye opener. Some mishits obviously with the changes but the good shots were the best I have ever hit a golf ball. I'm an idiot for not doing this sooner but oh well, better late than never. Great too because I have video of the lesson and notes that I can refer back to.

cheese posted:Am I squeezing with my fingers too hard Probably. In the first chapter of Hogan's book he recommends gripping the club with your right thumb and index finger completely off the shaft to get the correct feel. Too much pressure from those two fingers is not good. If your grips are really old, new ones are a very good idea too. You can DIY for very cheap too.

Played my first round with my new push cart yesterday... such a great way to play golf. Obviously not practical on some courses but my home course is very walkable and I have been carrying for years. Pushing is so much easier, I really noticed the extra energy on the last 3-4 holes.

Dimebag posted:Just wondering has anyone played the Diablo HX Tour balls at all? They seem to be going quite cheaply and was looking to stock up on some balls for the next few months. I understand they are a few years old but $50 AU for 3 dozen seems like a good deal. The Diablo HX Tour is a fine ball but you're going from a top of the line premium ball with a urethane cover to a lower end ball with a non urethane cover so you will notice a difference on spin. Approach shots and chips/pitches won't check up as easily. Personally I wouldn't play a ball without a urethane cover. If you're concerned about price then look into buying recycled balls. Does Australia have a lostgolfballs.com/golfballsdirect.com equivalent?

Lakewood is nowhere near 7000 feet. Maybe a couple hundred feet higher than Denver which, as everyone knows, is 5280.
