Anno posted:Not sure how many people here are fans of No Laying Up, but if you aren't, now's a pretty good series to get in with the launch of their newest season of their extended golf vlog, Tourist Sauce, this time in Ireland. They're joined at some point by Tom Coyne, author of the great golf book A Course Called Ireland, which really everyone should read if you like golf.These are always a lot of fun with plenty of drone porn, local golf interviews and insight, and fun golf antics. This was a good recommendation

Shrapnig posted:I feel like there’s something about starting a round with a bad hole that kind of takes the pressure off for me to start shooting better scores. If you birdie 1 then you’re juiced up thinking about what could be but if you make a double, especially on 1, which on most courses I play is a pretty forgiving hole, you just say gently caress it and play loose. This poo poo happens to me with that piano app, PlaygroundSessions If things go well for me in the beginning part of the song, I start panicking about not loving up and end up loving up But if I get one slightly off note in the first 1/4, I'll always be perfect for the rest of it

gently caress concessions. I miss 1 foot putts occasionally, any chance I can get to practice in-game, I'm taking it.Putting is also one of the few parts of my game that I think i do mostly well, I'm not giving that up because some stranger spends 90% of his practice time blasting driver.

AndrewP posted:Any good way to practice not hitting the ball fat at the range? The last two times I've been to the course I've been chunking so many shots and I realize that range mats don't offer that kind of feedback. Only thing that helps me is thinking actively of getting my sternum ahead of the ball on the downswing. I'm trying to make peace with the occasional thin shot rather than these ugly fat shots. Thin it to win it!

They are pretty good, but I would warn anyone that they get damaged some what easily. My swing is dog poo poo, but the end of a round they are usually a little torn up. For my absolutely terrible inconsistency, Wilson duo soft is much straight, and easier to find in very florescent colors

I walked 18 last week on a course I normally only walk 9 and it was brutal. I've got to believe that any course built around housing developments, (as that one was), would be dreadful to walk. There is a lot of space between greens and the next tees. So now I'm in the market for a walking cart. Any recommendations?

Summit posted:You say she strong but is she actually generating man level clubhead speeds? Physical strength is just one part of it, probably not even in the top 5 factors really. There’s a pretty good chance she’d benefit from ladies flex still but only a launch monitor could tell you. edit: ignore me, just saying what others already said Treat her; say you're going on a day trip and drive over to a quality fitter; sneak her golf clothes and shoes. Honestly man, if my wife golfed, I would be so psyched, I'd probably spend more money on her clubs than me, as it is I have to drag my wife out with my son and I, and she just chips and putts in scrambles with us.

Daric posted:Played for the first time since October today. We played High Meadow Ranch here in Houston. Range was closed, practice green was closed, and I hadn’t swung a club since hitting off my mat in January. I went out this morning, walking with a mask on wore me out and I did poorly; but I parred [pared?] two par 5s in a row. This game makes no sense some times.

mattfl posted:Is there anything worse than showing up to a nice course and seeing mats out on the driving range. Ugh, I absolutely cannot stand warming up off of mats and it takes me 3-4 holes to finally get back in sync after using them. Played one of the nicer resort courses in the area yesterday, normally a $80-100 course got a deal for $55 and bam, mats on the driving range Yeah, it's not ideal. I played a course on Saturday, they didn't even have a range, just some mats and a net. So I'm thinking, hell yeah, my shots are on lock today. Nope! Straight for the first 30 yards and then a nice big banana ball. I guess I can't complain, it's a very cheap course.

Summit posted:Pre pandemic the tee sheet was spaced 8 minutes apart and it was horrendously overcrowded on full days. Waiting 5+ minutes on every tee box. The day I went it was completely booked up but 10 minute spacing and we only waited a minute a few times. Massive improvement to enjoyment IMO. 8 minutes is way too short. That's crazy.

The main causes of slow play I've seen: Seniors who refuse to play the correct tee. You ain't 30 anymore, Gramps Four jackasses standing around the green like it's the Masters but everyone is five putting. Ready golf isn't just for the fairway Ironically everytime I see a women's group, they are going so fast, it's actually annoying how much they are on your rear end.

Kirios posted:Hopefully this works - I didn't have a lot of time between meetings to get this taped so if it the videos suck I'll reshoot: Try keeping your right arm tucked tight to your side until the club is somewhat more than parallel. After that, you can move it away from your body. On the downswing, try to get it tucked back in on the way down. I think that'll help with your out-to-in action.

Kirios posted:Hmm, I certainly the "right arm tucked" comment a lot on golf forums. I didn't realize mine flailed around so much. Yeah, stick a towel underneath both arms and take some practice swings; the towel can drop off the rear armpit once the club gets hinged in your hand, but the "forward" part of the towel should stay in throughout the downswing. There's other poo poo to work on, but take one pill at a time.

I've become so jaded, playing golf with strangers. I hit a ball I think is OB, say I'm hitting a provisional, they look at me like I'm crazy. "Just drop it on the fairway!" And they have the loving gall to tell me they scored a par or a bogey after I just saw them take 2 mulligans. I even had one dude get upset that I wasn't going to take a breakfast ball, because he "always plays a two ball scramble with himself, and that's how you get better". No motherfucker, you play a two ball worst-ball with yourself, then maybe you'll get better.

Suprfli6 posted:I’ve been hooking drives pretty badly the last week or so, but when I showed up to my course this afternoon before my league I played a few holes and really focused on the feeling of keeping my arms closer to my body (ie the towel under each armpit drill) and was striping it. I shot 3 under par for 9 holes and drove a 340 hole that’s a bit downhill and was a bit down wind which I’ve done plenty of times before but usually not until later in the year when the fairways are rock hard. Every single full swing started right where I wanted but my distance control on wedges was a touch off, but I was still hitting greens. Tomorrow night is the high money skins league and I’m feeling really good about it. Nice dude, let us know how it goes

I would say buy a cheap set of irons + wedges from ebay that are < 5-10 years old. Go see an instructor. Most places have some sort of "Learn to play golf in 6 weeks!" program for fairly cheap. Get good with what you've got. Add a 5 wood. Get good with that. Add a 3 wood. Get good. Add a driver. And don't be afraid to play from the ABSOLUTE front pin. One of the biggest problems with this game is people trying to play way farther back than they should. Not just beginners, but people who have been playing for 30 years and think they still have 110 mph club head speed (they don't) If i could go back in time, I would tell myself to play from the front pin until I can break 90. Then move back one until you break 90 again. Then move back again until you reach a point where approach shots are challenging, but possible. No point moving to the tips to shoot a frustrating 98 if you could play the regular tees and shoot a very satisfying 80s. ElGroucho fucked around with this message at 15:08 on Jun 8, 2020 |

I played Sunday with this dude who took his golf seriously. I got a kick out of watching his shots, because he had this real nice compact swing, and his shots took such a different path to the green. My shots always go so high, and his were almost at the same trajectory as a dude throwing a football, but they would bounce once or twice and just stop.

I need to work on my lag more anything. The golf shaft is almost perpendicular to the ground at impact for me, so I'm robbing myself of lots of yardage.
