How did you shoot today at Golf

I figured we could have a thread on golf rounds. I'll go 1st. Played Whirlwind Cattail course today. I was hitting the driver far. Pushing 290-300 75% of...

Eguller I like the idea (thanks Phil)

😄Keeping in mind that I am old enough to be Phil's father. So, just maybe it was being done prior to his doing it.

Some days they are both lousy choices though. 😉

Par4QC No, the gamer is the one in the bag, the other is a back up. I have no intention of switching back and forth. Back up in case something happens to the gamer. Like last year my Qu10 was the gamer but the head cracked so I had to use a backup driver, Nicks G400 max.

Typhoon a back up.

🤣....and there it is.....the other golf phrase I meant to shoot hell out of!!

What & when does it 'back up' anything? Esp. when it's at home somewhere while you break your shaft on #2 hole while playing.

That means breaking the shaft of your gamer, btw.🤣😂😄

Ditto.
Don't give a rat's ass about how many clubs are in my bag.
Not paying to play and have to use 3 wood off the tee all day.
(Even more so now, as I don't always carry a 3 wood.)
Had to do that once on vacation in Michigan after the first tee. Never again.
:/

Par4QC The Qi10 head broke/cracked and the face was coming off. Shaft was fine.

Out comes the back up driver, or do you prefer we call it “spare driver “🙄🙄. Don’t understand what you’re trying to make fun of.

To me, "backup" is my excuse for buying another club. I need this just in case. 😎

Out of where did it come and when? You run back home and get it?

Now, when you put that in the bag, which one was your 'gamer'?

And where was your 'backup'?😄

You do not have 'gamers' if you have more than 1 of such clubs.
You do not have 'backups' because they back nothing up. They would be your gamer at times like you described.

And there is no 'spare'.....there are only 'more'!🤣

Par4QC You make zero sense… go to bed, you’re overtired🙄

Spuzz Now I'm a little worried about your play at the PGA???😎

85 at Plantation Palms. Seem to have lost the feel I had before I stopped playing last September. That feel lasted for months.

Lunch was at Hungry Harry’s. It’s a barbecue place in Land O Lakes. Nice lunch special. Two pieces of chicken with two sides. I got potato salad and coleslaw along with a piece of cornbread for $7.99.

Sneakylong That feel lasted for months.

The swing EPIPHANY is fleeting. It's like a virus that you contract and then "heal" back to reality. 😡

Typhoon

Sneakylong such a deal!!!

Preaching to the choir. But this feeling lasted for months and resulted in the best ball striking of my golfing life.

Not going to give up on it. Just need to find a new epiphany trying to rediscover the old epiphany. lol

For the technical golfers. Physically I can’t externally rotate my right elbow / shoulder to shallow the club. I naturally internally rotate mainly my right elbow. Which steepens the shaft.

If you can naturally externally rotate your right elbow / shoulder you can shallow the club regardless of a steep, middle or flat backswing.

Since I can’t do that I have to have a flatter backswing to have a shallower downswing. Anyway, the search for the old epiphany will continue. In my 3 rounds since coming back there have been glimpses of the old epiphany.

Just need to find that key to the consistency I had with it before. In the words of the immortal Bagger Vance. I lost it, now I just have to find it. lol

sdandrea1 Swing your natural swing. Just get there, look at your target and swing like you normally do. Stop thinking.

I shot 40-40-80 today at Riverby Hills GC in Bowling Green, Ohio. Undoubtedly the hilliest course we play, and
it was a long slog today. Rain all last week put most courses around here behind on their mowing, so the rough today was super-LONG and hard to get out of. Played through light rain a couple of times today as well, but nothing very hard. 1 birdie, 1 double, 1 penalty, 9 GIR, 32 putts.

Typhoon what's this "normal " swing you speak of?

Sneakylong

Typhoon Swing your natural swing. Just get there, look at your target and swing like you normally do. Stop thinking.

My natural swing is tipping (steepening) the shaft the wrong way in the downswing. Can I play and still score like that?

Yeah, did it for 25 years. But….. Again, at this point in my golf I want to have solid ball striking. Good solid shots are more important than score for me. I can clang and hustle my ball around the course and shoot a score.

I’ll take a great ball strikingly day over score everyday and twice on Sundays. It’s the great shots that keep me coming back to play golf.

Every golfer at every level goes thru the same. When you’re hitting it well you don’t have to think. You just react. It’s when things go south that you have to start thinking.

Every golfer finds themselves in the lost and found department. It’s part of the DNA of golf.

Played the amazing Wolf Creek today. 137 slope from the white tees I played. I played my ass off to shoot 88. Too many 3 putts.

garyt1957

This gives you an idea of the elevation. They're on a tee box.

Typhoon

Sneakylong We all do alot of things wrong but then subconsciously make another move to counteract it so we still hit the ball. I’ve seen a lot of people that groove an awful swing. They practice, they have a good tempo and score just fine.

People run into problems because they try to fix it on their own. They either make it worse or they think they changed something but really didn’t. The swing is a chain reaction of events. And good luck getting a big change to stick unless you do it for a living with a coach watching you.

@"garyt1957"#p429368This green looks enormous! But also looks like maybe a 20' diameter to land, in order to have a chance for just a Par.
