BunnysBastatrds 1,914 Posted April 28, 2017 Really digging this team format styled tour event this week... Spieth and Palmer look great together - get those biatches 2gether on the RC. I've played that golf course a few times. It's tough but fair depending on the wind. Read somewhere yesterday that the players voted it the worst course on tour. They did this format to get some of the top players to play in it. Had they not, no one of importance would have played. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

listen2me 23 1,541 Posted April 29, 2017 Check to see if your lower body and head are staying still or if they're moving. Also try shortening your backswing. I think a shorter stroke is good advice but will just have to work on that stroke. I think that is something I am going to focus on. I used to be a very good putter. It has slowly become a problem especially on the 10 foot and in putts. Even more so on the 4 or 5 footers downhill. Not even getting a real stroke on it. It has slowly become a real problem where I am just a total headcase. 4 years ago I would have never thought I would have trouble with the putting stroke. Bad habits have slowly turned into total breakdown of any fundamentals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BunnysBastatrds 1,914 Posted May 1, 2017 They weren't. I've played that course a few times in the wind. What they did today was amazing. I know they were throwing darts. But that course is long playing from the backs with the wind we've had. 18 is a fun hole. I was watching the end and was impressed how they handled it. You don't get there in two. That front bunker or water on the right eats your sh!t. The wind is the devil out there. Barely any trees and loaded with sand traps. Fun course. Very flat. And the greens are slow. You can aim at the flag on every hole. Par 3 are ridiculously long. I shot an 82 out there from the blues. Not a hard track. Funny observation: I was sitting on my couch watching. When the last group was chipping and then putting, it was almost dark outside of my place. The coverage made it look like there was still some daylight out.

Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted May 1, 2017 Nice I play the captains from time to time and have played cranberry valley often too. Never played Poquoy Poquoy is off Cape in Lakeville. Nice little track. Very inexpensive. Redoing the clubhouse and have all new carts. We like it because it is about halfway to where we stay on the Cape, so we play there on the way down instead of the more expensive and windier places in Plymouth.

Practice swing like Jeter. Cut way across it. Then step up and do the same and hit the ball. Hey it is adding one bad habit in order to cure another, but you may get out of the duck hook. And sometimes if it seems hopeless it is good to just feel and see the ball go the opposite direction for a change. I fade the ball naturally but I know what an inside out swing feels like. Last year I was getting into more of a slice than a fade so I started to make a bunch of way inside out swings just to see the ball do something different, even if it was a hard hook. I gradually got my swing to settle back into a slight fade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cbfalcon 824 Posted May 8, 2017 My sporadic golf schedule is really costing me consistency and low scores right now. I'm playing like once every 3 weeks, and never practicing between rounds. It's leading to lots of rounds like the following.... Played Pecan Valley Hills yesterday. First time out there in over a year. The greens were in just horrible shape, so bad that they gave everyone 30% off their round. It was like playing Plinko.....On the front side, I shot a frustrating 44. I wasn't striking it well, and I couldn't scramble on the plinko board....but then off the tee on 9, I just made a slightly better effort to square the face at impact, and everything clicked. And at the same time I learned to hit every putt 25% harder and just try and power through the plinko board..... I birdied 9, 12, 15, and 16. 44-37 for an 81 that made me want to immediately drive to a different course with real greens and play 18 more....but I had kid stuff to do and of course I probably won't be able to play this coming weekend. Frustrating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cruzer 1,992 Posted May 8, 2017 Saturday was perfect, 88*, 5 mph wind, sunny as hell - and I choked on my own vomit... Limped in with an 83 and got my ass handed to me in - brutally in fact... I've got driver problems.. The funny thing is, I know the problem - I'm just having a hard time convincing my muscle memory to stop focking doing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dain11279 927 Posted May 8, 2017 weather sucks Yup. Sadly shot 94 yesterday from the whites. Not gonna get too down about it though. It was 45 degrees at most with 20 MPH winds and the course was sloppier then Hope Solo's fish bucket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DankNuggs 305 Posted May 8, 2017 nice weather here on sunday afternoon. Snuck out for a naptime 9 that wife was kind to extend to 18... I'm still numb in my hand from the pinched nerve and my back muscles are only starting to rehab, so i am still off 3/4 a club on distance...better than the 1.5 clubs i was short initially playing a few weeks ago... Greens are almost putting ok, still very slow compared to where they are when in true form.. I hear they are punching again mid june, so by the time they are good will get FUBAR'ed again... That said i was pretty good putting from 5-10' and managed a 41/44... was pretty happy with that. I started the season with a HCP of 9, and was dreading going above 10 because its nice to know the highest score i can card is a double bogey. above 10 you can card a triple. I am by definition a streaky golfer... I basically play the course over a series of runs, with the blowup holes scattered. trending at a 9.2 now, hopefully get fully healthy before i hit 10. People i play with say the injury was a blessing in disguise as i have no ability to go after swings, and im just taking a compact controlled swing that is pretty much on plane. Just mentally went through my round and i didn't miss a fairway with my driver... Can't remember the last time i didn't find the rough at least once. 14 driver holes on my course Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
