lol i like how they arrange the balls but that must be annoying since you have to keep bending down and placing them. I like when they just give you a rack and you can scoop them out with your club

I don't play much because its hard going from a +4/thinking about turning pro to scratch/1-2. It just isn't fun right now. |

Secondly, know your wedge distances from 120 yrds and in. Go to the range and start at 120yrds with no wind blowing....hit a bunch of shots till you can get the ball within +-5 yards, then remember what club, how far you took it back, how hard you hit it, etc so you can replicate it. Then move to 100 and do the same, then to 80, 70, 60, 50,... Doing this only sets you up a platform so when you go to the course you can have a starting point for when you get to that distance. I see far too many amateurs get to a shot and not know their club, how hard they are going to hit it, at what height, and they end up "guessing" Hell, its legal to write down on a sheet of paper what yardages a club goes (type it up and tape it to the shaft). Third, have a "go too" shot shape. When in a pressure packed situation, you want a shot you know you can hit. I sometimes hit a massive cut/slice just because I knew I could hit it and knew where I would end up...away from the trouble, and thats the key to a lot of holes...avoiding the big numbers. Fourth, have fun...its just a game that can't be perfected. Doesn't matter what you shoot as long as your beat your buddies |

im pretty nasty from 120 in....I've always had a good short game....just need to refine my long game a bit...and become more consistent..i'll drive it great on three holes..then completely duck-hook one out of bounds another.... crazy game man.... just out of curiousity...with a +4 handicap..you never considered going pro???..i know you said you suffered a serious wrist injury in one of your aforementioned posts....was that truly a hindrance for you?

I did consider going pro but I couldn't grip the club for about a month because it hurt too much after I hurt myself, then when the pain went away, I had a tremor in my had when I did grip the club due to the nerve damage. It was a hindrance for me trying to play pro at the moment...I wanted to start a career as I had signed with a company while I was still in school that was paying me a lot of money, so I wanted to have that guaranteed. Ive began seeing a few doctors again to try to fix the problem because Ive gotten the itch again Its crazy to think, but even with a +4 I was getting my ass handed to me in college by a lot of guys. |

gotcha. yea i know how competitive it gets as you move lower and lower in the handicap ranks...it really is scary. I would love to make it one day out on tour....i'm a little behind as I have never played competitively before...but mabye one day.....have a long road ahead I guess and a lot of practice. thanks for the tips man...appreciate it! glad to see you have an itch again!!! I think robert deniro said it the best..."the saddest thing in life is wasted talent" ...get your ass out there with that +4 handicap!! Two highest paid athletes are golfers!!!!

a lot of new player you see out there on tour are typically on the bottom of the list. I would guess its because of the pressure and since your playing with some of the best players, shit that would get to my head as well lol |

yea i try to play golf at least once a week.
i wish i'm a low-handicapper like some of you. i recently picked up a set of miura, hopefully they'll help me get there soon my old ride was MB SLK and i used to think the trunk space was too small. i had to take out my driver out of the bag and try to fit it in the trunk diagonally. LOL i picked up my new e93 less than 2 weeks ago and it was stupid of me not to add the winter package. i can hardly fit 1 golf bag in my trunk even with my top up. I'm paying for it every time i go play golf. damn it. Last edited by design_mania; 06-30-2009 at 04:20 PM.. |

I need all the practice I can get. I've just started playing this season (3 lessons so far) and try to get to the range as much as possible to work on my swing - which is no small task.
It can be very frustrating, but I'm addicted and in it for the long haul.
