Well this sucks.

I am watching my son and his cousins. Translation of I'm watching golf while they play. The down side is Patrick Cantlay and Bryson dechamblows are near the lead. So I'll get to see 4 shots per hour.

Other than looking at how many different ways there are to get the club head back to square and moving at a fast speed. I don't really watch too many videos. I'm of the belief that if everyone on the planet played golf there would be 8 billion different "perfect" swings. I really just focus on small...

yeah he is another example. He also has some quarkiness to his swing. His lead elbow breaks down at the top of his swing. He takes the club back pretty flat letting his left arm roll over his right, then the last 1/4 to 1/5 of his back swing he stands the club up more vertical. Then in transition he...

I'm 6'. I'm not mimicking either of those swings, they both have numerous idiosyncrasies specific to them. I'm looking at their swings as motivation that a short swing can be powerful too. Actually there is no one I'm trying to model my swing after to be honest. I tried that for a while, and didn't ...

Wow his stance is open. It really looks like he's trying to just hit a big push there. I've never really looked at his swing, but it looks like he does that on every shot. Here is rham, numerous things I don't like that I wouldn't apply to my swing. But very short as well. https://youtu.be/idChSwhlhik

I wonder if Charley Hoffman hates weekends.

I'm certain he has lost more money on Saturdays and Sundays than I'll make Monday-Friday my entire life.

Oh man, went to the range this morning before work. I think this will be the last time until fall that I try to hit full shots outside before work. What a terrible idea that was. I was spending 90% of my time concentrating on how to not be covered in sweat when I get into work. I'll either be headin...

Try moving the ball an inch or two forward in your stance for a touch more spin and potentially, a better launch angle. Just for shits and giggles and to see what happens. Don't change anything else. I already have it off my left heel. But I have tried it as far as left little toe. It was a higher ...

Not sure why the Usga doesn't respond to my tweets?

So on your advice I watched some John rham viedos noticed something I don't do (increase the angle between shaft and arms) in transition. I messed with this motion last night while keeping my right elbow in front of my body. A couple things I noticed were its extremely repeatable. Also ball speed in...

Course builders in the 1920s couldn't imagine green speeds that we are seeing today.

Newer courses have relatively flat areas where pins are placed. Some older courses don't have areas that are relatively flat.

I'm from Florida. I played at a retirement community for 25+ years lol.

But yeah I like watching John rhams swing for that reason. There are things I don't like about his swing but it's really short and he murders the ball.

Distance has always been my "ace in the hole" so to speak. Also distance is probably the biggest thing that defines the ceiling in anyone's golfing ability. As well as the fact that distance is the hardest thing to lean in the game. I'm not some crazy monster off the tee with distance to spare. So m...

Yeah I am trying to get some final things dialed in on my swing then my plan next year is to get a full bag fitting (other than putter), unless I'm just striping my irons then I'll just do Dr, down to 4i(h). I got fit for these clubs about 5-6 years ago. But that swing and my current swing are night...

Good so i just hate this club for some other reason

So does anyone know if the Taylormades burner (yes the old one) shat labeled as "S" is for stiff or senior? It's 60g.

I've always hated my 3h and now that I got this 4h which acts completely different I'm wondering if the shaft is wrong.

Doug I'm going to get up that way one day and play there with you. I just need to figure out how to hit the ball straighter off the tee first haha. But if you ever want to meet half way (or halfish way like Williamsburg) let me know I'll take a day off work and meet you somewhere between. There is ...

So my last round I really tried to focus on moving the ball towards the target, and not on my golf swing. Things went well on the front 9. I had one mental flub on a chip, but got up & down on the next chip. I also didn't trust my read on the 3' putt on the 1st hole which lead to a 3 putt. 2 mental ...

Florida State Florida State Florida State woooo.

Sorry couldn't resist.

I'm not sure

14-5 clearly sounds like it's your obligation to not hit a moving ball. But if you happen to do it then it's 2 strokes. It doesn't come off to me like it's your option to either 1) not hitting a moving ball or 2) hit a moving ball and get a 2 stroke penalty.

Yeah it seemed brutal. I don't think I'd want to play it all the time. But I'm sure all the members travel around the Hamptons playing the various courses

Ok here is my last round if anyone cares. www.gamegolf.com/player/jasonfish11/round/2231631 I had 3 times where I hit 2 chips on a hole. Two of which were just complete mental flubs. I had 2 shots in mind and didn't decide between them until I started taking the club back. Huge no no. The 3rd was po...

Ok I went and looked at the rule. Now I changed my mind.

14-5.
A player must not make a stroke at his ball while it is moving.

It clearly states you must not... I assumed it was worded like "if a player hits a moving ball..."

Given the wording I think a DQ would have been appropriate.

I don't really get why everyone is pissed at Phil for intentionally breaking a rule for his precieved advantage? He didn't try to hide it or not take the penalty. This happens all the time in other sports. Intentionally delay of game to give the punter 5 extra yards of field to work with. Intentiona...
