When you shoot an 80 and putt with two hands around your neck its frustrating.
Never selling the SF. First bought it used from a shop when I was 16 (11yrs ago.) Easily the most prized possession. Shame its just uncomfortable now.

I can’t stand him and his whining bitch wife Wade. But …
The commentators never mentioned it but when James was playing defense on Durant, he was shoulder punching him the entire time – even at the top of the circle – keeping his arms close to his body and just popping Durant relentlessly with his shoulders. No foul was ever called, but based on some of the non-calls last night, I’m sure he wasn’t worried.

butters – i actually pride myself on having a very even temper. I rarely get flustered, and if so, I can usually keep it in perspective. However, growing up in the right-handers world was tough. I remember having talks with my teacher and parents about how to increase my writing speed in 4th grade, and the summary was “you try pushing a pencil into a paper instead of pulling it across and tell me how much slower YOU write, lady!”

they’ll run to the end of the tie out once, after that you can do anything as long as that tie out radius is free of danger.

urinal, i like the idea of the 360, but the fact you can get it in a 370 is crazy. thats one heavy ass putter.

Very true. And Ive been extra weepy lately, but I didnt realize what episode it was until all the numbers started popping up.

I always thought that throwing was harder than catching. Throwing involves correct wrist snap, arm movement and angles, whereas with catching, two hands if it’s front of your body, one hand when it’s within your wingspan and low.
sure, but these are two 5yo and a 6yo. the throwing haas been better than the catching, and we have had two slight injuries catchign so far

my dog is very well trained, and the tie-out is mainly to avoid the 120 dollar tickets the local beach patrol likes to drop on people. Its sad to watch the out-of-towners not know that there is a leash law and get tickets. Also, my dog works great on his e-collar, especially when retrieving. Its amazing what dogs can learn when they suspect they’ll get the desired reward for bringing things back to you.

I bought that copper for 400 bucks from a guy who got ti from a tour pro’s teacher. We weren’t sure if it was authentic. there are a few tell-tale signs of “aftermarket” on it, but the guy who sold it is VERY well-known. I bought it and sent it in. When it came back “A” I offered to sell it back to the guy, but he said he was happy with 400 bucks because he didn’t think it was authentic either. Needless to say, I sent him a nice XMAS present that year. I had a 8k offer for it about 3 years ago. Probably should have sold it, but I love it so much. It’ll be my son Hogan’s putter one day.
June 20th, 2012 at 10:29 AM
wow…then again, if he’s basically giving that putter away for a song, he’s probably got one helluva collection himself.
June 20th, 2012 at 10:30 AM
GC – I could see that thing being worth every penny of 8K. By the time Hogan gets it it could be a 12-15K putter. Never underestimate how much people will pay for something they can’t have. Not to mention, people are holding on to the older stuff, not to mention the rare and garage-built ones. You have the makings of grail putter for 95% of the SC community.

Golf talk? Golf talk.
Any suggestions on how I can cure my fade/slice with the driver? I can’t control it, and I can’t hit it straight to save my life. Keeping my drives in the fairway will get me under 90 consistently, but it fades/slices 15-25 yards every swing…
June 20th, 2012 at 10:42 AM
how are you setting up? use this for a guide to setting up…
but how does it fade/slice? are you starting the ball down your target line and it’s leaking right or are you pulling it left of the target line and it takes a sharp turn to the right?
June 20th, 2012 at 10:45 AM
as spencer said you gotta check your set up before you do anything. Check to make sure your shoulders match your feet so you are square. Once that’s out you can look at swing flaws.
June 20th, 2012 at 10:46 AM
Spencer – i was looking at that image and saying “what the hell is this?!”. Then i realized it was for righties…
GC – any chance you can take a picture of the copper newport at some point? I would love to see the patina on that thing.
June 20th, 2012 at 10:50 AM
Starts down the target line and leaks right late.
June 20th, 2012 at 10:51 AM
I’ve always been more of a square feet and shoulders set up. That diagram looks more like my front foot should be opened up a bit…
June 20th, 2012 at 10:53 AM
Yep. Although I did sell a mid-90′s twisty neck earlier this year for 14K. Got it for 200 BIN on eBay in 2003. A former Fresno State player listed it and 1 more, and I bought them both within seconds of them being posted at 2am. Sold one immediately after receiving them to a collector in Japan I know for 9k. On the old Cameron Fan yahoo group everyone was wondering who bought them the next day. I said nothing until I had them, and then the offers started rolling in. paid for a 2 wekk trip to Scotlans, where we played only rotation courses and Western Gailes (a friend of mine was the captain there, and we played for free)

Good lord, thats a story and a half!
June 20th, 2012 at 10:56 AM
That is gonna cause problems unless he’s flat.
Smallie–spend 45 bucks on a lesson. Just 1. And get in shape if you aren’t. If a guy comes to me in good physical condition, I can have him hitting it straight in 20 minutes. If not–then who the hell knows…
June 20th, 2012 at 10:57 AM
so what that’s telling me is that your clubface is in the right spot, you’re just coming down over the top with an outside to inside clubpath.
by taking your stance with your shoulders down the line, but dropping that back foot back like in the pic i linked to above, that’ll encourage a more inside-to-out path. but honestly, the best method for curing a slice is to take a few swings every day with a weighted club…chances are good you need a little more core strength to really fire your hips while creating that tension against your torso. shown well in the first example in this video.
June 20th, 2012 at 10:59 AM
Spence–encyclopedia texarkana is a great read. I’ll email it to you if you don’t have it. Slicefixer has some GREAT thoughts. If nothing else–use his grip.
June 20th, 2012 at 11:00 AM
getting a little more flat’s probably not a bad thing though…i like that dropping that foot back encourages the right path and then, the more you practice it, the more you can “zero it out” for lack of a better term.
June 20th, 2012 at 11:01 AM
could you email it? slicefixer’s got a really nice method…ive been using a modified version of his 9-3 drill with some nice results the past 6 mos or so.
June 20th, 2012 at 11:02 AM
Just purchased a 1 hour lesson. I’m not as fit as I used to be, but I jog and/or bike 4 days a week and do light weight training.
Old should injury forces my swing outside in. Shoulder just doesn’t rotate the way it should. my clubs are all adjusted to make up for it since I can’t physically change my swing.
June 20th, 2012 at 11:06 AM

June 20th, 2012 at 11:09 AM

/should queue to 1:16
June 20th, 2012 at 11:10 AM
How are they adjusted? I’m assuming they are just upright? Full shoulder turn just means turn as far as YOUR shoulders can turn. As far as you can with left arm straight. Go no farther.If you try to go to a “full turn” but can’t, all you are doing is adding moving parts to a swing that can’t be replicated. If your timing is perfect–it’s fine. If not, it goes both ways. Ask Phil. If you saw his swing mirrored, you’d puke. Early extension, bad shoulder turn, crazy hand movements. When his timing is right-watch out. If not, well, you see it a lot. The 2 way miss. If he wasn’t the most creative wedge player of the last 20 years he’d have been gone long ago.
June 20th, 2012 at 11:12 AM

smallie…chasing the score’s what got me addicted too. it’s great and i wish everyone could enjoy golf and improve…once you see the new stuff setting in and keep hitting better shots, the game just gets more and more fun. im right on the cusp of breaking 80 consistently (feel like ive been saying that for like a year now) and working and seeing that improvement is just so spiritually rewarding.
best of luck brother…and if my suggestions don’t work, sorry man, im learning too.
June 20th, 2012 at 11:17 AM
to expound on that, when phil dials it back and doesn’t overturn his shoulders, he’s just as long as when he takes it WAY back and in more control. robert garrigus is as long as anyone out there and he doesn’t have that crazy shoulder turn…the proper sequencing is more important than getting an arbitrary shoulder turn that’s a faux-shoulder turn to begin with.
June 20th, 2012 at 11:18 AM
Local golf store that customizes clubs analyzed my swing and impact points and made the adjustments, don’t recall the specifics other than 1.5 degrees whichever way they had to adjust. Only club I still struggle with is driver.
My full turn is about a 2/3 backwsing for most people. Any further back and I’m in pain.
June 20th, 2012 at 11:25 AM
No worries. Wouldn’t have asked if I already knew what I was doing wrong.
