    So, where are all the golf nuts hiding?

    it was - the funny part is that three years ago the original founder and organizer of this outing stepped back (he still attends - just needed to get the event functions off his plate) and myself and three others took it over. In that three year window now 3 of the 4 of committee members have...

    League night last night - we play for three points - two match play points (handicap included) and then a single point for team best ball. Around 10 minutes prior to my tee time my partner advised me that he wouldn't be showing up. So it was just me vs my guy (the other play gets his point...

    a draw is definitely going to pierce the wind a bit better and gain a bit of distance too. the problem is - you usually have less control with one. they can turn into hooks pretty quick. its why you see most pros taking the small distance loss and playing a fade that they can control easily

    played Bethpage Red with @Wantacigar yesterday. 5.5 hours later we were done. there was no such thing as getting into a rhythm! I shot 97 and he shot 91 (generously - we both took a few liberties). It was a great time though with a fellow BOTL and I had a few decent shots that I can look...

    I've tried to do the step through and it's tough for me to accomplish - it just feels so wrong.

    i should note - that hanging back is definitely one of my biggest issues that fight. on the days where im able to get my weight shift forward everything works better from wedges up through my driver. on days where I'm struggling I'll probably shoot 1000

    So, where are all the golf nuts hiding?

    for me what works are a few different things depending on the day. - focus on making sure my weight ONLY makes it to the instep of my back foot during my backswing. i usually have to take a few partial backswings fairly slow paying attention to this - focus my eyeline on the front of the...

    bahahah! regarding ball position. My irons (outside of my 3-4 iron) all sit right about center. I do find that the position slowly drifts forward and I start to run into issues. I have to pay closer attention sometimes

    The club I'm a member at doesn't have tee times thankfully but the first we're allowed out is 7am. So if I'm going to play solo on the weekend I'm there at 630 (its 20-25 minutes from home). Nothing like being done and on my way home by 1030am though!

    Played with my wife and her best friend. Wife shot 113 - she found a rhythm with her driver and irons. But she has nothing around the greens. She's probably the best greens reader I've ever met but she has put zero practice in putting or short game. If she would do that at any point she'd...

    Walked 18 yesterday - shot a 93 - decent round had my only 7 on 17 (chose to hit a club I really shouldn't have off the tee and ended up taking a penalty). Great day golfing tho!

    I'm guessing you needed to hit the magic # 11 in Miller Lites and you'd have been fine

    played 27 yesterday. 94 over my first 18 - 32 putts - decent round that could've been better for sure. then I had league night - shot a 49 that I would've sworn was more like a 1000. Every ... single ... hole had at least one *BAD* swing in it. while the rest of them would be fine - losing...

    Our outing is 20-30 guys (depending on the year) - its been going on about 22 years now with the group changing over time (I'm on my 7th year). We used to stay at a place with six courses in southern MI until they started to suck from a management perspective. So we moved to a two course place...
