Just go back to basics mate. My mate told me last week "you need to stop thinking you're still good at this game, just a fit the middle of every green" Even though he was ripping the pish it was actually no bad advice. geneva_ger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just doing really stupid things hitting the ball no bad. Just can't take my short game in a bounce game to medal day. Every chip in a bounce game I am leaving 4-5 ft max away medal day it's about 10ft. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cushynumber 25,178 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 On 2017-5-23 at 11:08 PM, cushynumber said: Right so. Tie tonight. 2 ball 4 some. Giving away 12 strokes as a team. This is not good because there is no room for error. If you don't make par, your in trouble. Partners fuckin putting me in all sorts of shit. Nailed some good putts, missed some makable ones. Drove like a golfing fuckin god. A good god as well, not a wee shit one. All square on the 17th. They are stroking. They get an easy 3. We lose the hole. 1 down going down the last and yours truly hits a beast of a drive, great line, nice and safe. Partner starts talking about laying up - "fucking get it on the green" i say. He puts it through. The competition are struggling this hole, but they are stroking, so we still have to at least par the hole to win. I chip and run back onto the green and stick it to 3 feet. Nice shot. My partner asks me the line for his putt and he nails a peach putt no danger for a par 4. Fuckin no way i am sudden deathing it up the first when they are stroking and i tell them that. They are not happy. I don't care. Live to fight another day. No surrender. Which reminds me. We fucking horsed them in the replay. They didn't play to there previous standard and we knew the score this time. I could here them fucking moaning as we were regulation on almost every hole. Guy tried to fucking kid on he wasn't feeling well in an attempt to get the tie replayed! I said "are you saying you can't continue and are awarding us the tie"? That shut him up for a few holes but we still strolled it. They hate me. I don't care. My partner was offering condolences when they lost on the 14th. I was whistling with happiness walking off, tie in pocket. Your their to win, not make pals. We've drawn a couple of tims in the next round. No problem getting the game face on for that one.

LiviGer 648 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Won my tie yesterday, qualified for finals day, took me 20 holes but I should have had him beat long before that. Left a couple of putts an inch or so from the cup early in the round he didn't give me them so I made him put everything after that . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFC RYAN 2,967 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 What kind of golf balls do we all use ? I used to use Titleist ProV 1 x or the velocity now I am using Callaway chrome soft have for the last 2 seasons. Should I be using the chrome soft x instead of the normal chrome soft ? I am sure the x is the harder ball in titleist is it the same with Callaway ? I know the X was also the distance ball but when I got fitted for my titleist irons at Kings acre the guy said the distance ball went 3 yards more than the normal ball. I don't think about the ball it's more round about the greens I have preferred putting with a harder ball. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cushynumber 25,178 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 So I was trying out my sons new Cobra King R7 driver. Its very nice very forgiving and has the Cobra connect technology that measures your driving distance. Its a little bit gimmicky but appears to work very well. To be honest the club doesnt need it as its a good club but into a head wind my son who is 16 was hitting 232, 233, 233 and then the fucking battery ran out on his phone. (the app is sore on the phone battery). Good distance on a windy day, very humid with a wet fairway from all Tuesdays rain. Make sure you have a full battery before you go out.

RFC RYAN 2,967 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Right need opinions, was at the range just there was trying to hit a baby draw(5 yard) as my normal is more 15-20 yards right and sometimes it does come back. At the range a was trying a few set ups with address and tried a Luke Donald set up right off the heal of the club and telling my self to swing slightly left in my head on the way down. I was flushing everyone but scared of it on the course tomorrow in case I shank it. Do I do it tomorrow am I sure I am going to as I haven't hit the ball like that in a while some shots were even going straight. My arms are aching as well which means I was hitting the ball decent. If I forget to tell myself to swing left it could go wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I forget to tell myself to swing left it could go wrong. It's a catch 22 as could be great or poor. My gut instinct says yes, you need to start somewhere so give it a go. I remember listening to Butch Harmon and he was saying that pros when they make a serious swing change it's a commitment to pursue the change long term, so it'll not be a quick fix. Ive always been fairly straight with a penetrating flight but since the op I've had to change n adapt especially off the tee. Used to play an 8.5 degree loft, off the left heel tee as high as n laugh it on the upswing. Now I've adjusted it to sit around 9.75 loft, more inside the heel n tee lower n starting to recreate a similar outcome. Just try it n see, if it works then great. Also if it works don't change it.
