DC's instagram is so fire this week. Those course looks ridiculous. You can tell Erin hills is massive just from his pictures and videos.

Straight fire!

There are no aim points - I aim 30 yards left of the center of the fairway to allow for my push slice. On par 3s, I aim at the flag every time to allow for my 4 way miss.

Puppet's inability to turn in better scores remains the greatest enigma of our time. I think the only superfriend that could possibly score worse with Puppet's golf swing than Puppet does is Siegel.

 

Played with Puppet's caucasian doppleganger last week. Dude was crushing it off the tee and but had his short game, too.

Was it a full moon last night? My kids were up all night, just awake. I got a great night of sleep on Tuesday, so I guess that was just a gift in preparation for last night.

 

In any case, it gave me time to think about the state of my ball striking. The immediate consequence of the backswing change I'm working on is getting the face much too closed at impact. I'm getting a really nice strike, but with the face getting too closed, I'm giving way too much love to the left side of the golf course. When I don't get it closed too much, it's just this effortless feeling push-draw. I'm wondering if this is something that will work it's way out over time, as I adjust my release pattern to the new backswing, or if I need to address it specifically.

 

I don't really think my grip is too strong, but my club face appears fairly closed at the top of my swing in this shot from when I practiced(!) last weekend. Plenty of folks play well with a closed face at the top, though.

 

 

Maybe it's something that I just need to consciously try to manipulate (i.e., try to feel like I get the face more open, and start shots to the right)?

Looks like Tex is live on eaglegrint, slaying Blue Mash from the back tees. Should be finishing up any minute now.

What problem were you trying to fix? Hitting the ball too straight?

[FAbb]

Inconsistent low point and start direction.

[TheCityGame]

Tex throwing down a number today from the gold tees at Blue Mash. Gearing up for the stroke play championship, I hope.

 

Nice playing, Tex. Gonna be a throwdown.

I can help with this.

Put those P790's on my short list of 2 year old irons to buy 2 years from now. Those things look great.

 

Had this conversation with ahoop. Wonder what playing SGI irons (think Ping G#'s) would do for each of our games.

I'm like puppet in that I am far left to allow for my massive push fade.

 

I usually pick some unique feature that is on the line I want to start the ball....tree, roof, edge of bunker, etc. I then follow that line back to my ball and find something about a foot or so in front of my ball to help with alignment. I've used city's divot method before and it's my favorite but I'll also use a blade of grass, old dead grass...anything that somewhat stands out. I'll keep my eye on that spot as I step up to the ball so I don't lose it.

 

My driving, while not good, has gotten better since I started using this method. I do the same line up routine for all my shots...irons, chips, putts. So now you know what I'm doing when I stand behind the ball with my club held up like a sword (I'm using it to help get the line).

 

With all that said, look at my handi...you shouldn't take golf advice from me.

The PING i-series irons I've played have some GI'ness to them, especially in the longer irons. I played a set of AP1s for a while and really liked them. Those Titleist CBs I tried over the winter were nice, but I'm not going back to a small players club again in the near future. I like some GI'ness. #datthiccsole

I'm sure Tex can hook you up with a spiffy Callway option.

I only push PXG Greg.. cost to be the boss!

[Puppetmaster]

Yup, just hit pure drive, pure wedge over the green, and one chip 3 putted...

[Johnny T]

I tried playing with players clubs before. While I can hit them fine on good days, the bad days were really bad. It really did a number to my confidence with the clubs. I need a decent amount of help but I also want something that looks and feel decent. I think the 565s I have now satisfy all of those.

 

Now for you good guys, I'm not sure it would help. It may even hurt a little.

Yeah, and I'm going to tape birthday candles to the top and light them before each shot.

Steelhead pros for the win or epic pros!

As you know, I've played AP2s here-and-there. I think I hit the MBs better. I really do. Also, the AP2s had hot spots, and flew too high, and went too straight. I couldn't hit butter cuts and hard draws, and forget about trying to hit punch shots into the wind.

[davechen]

I'm happy with my G30 irons. But sometimes I think they look rather chunky, especially the longer irons. And part of my thinks it would be cool to play more of a gamer iron. Then I look at my scorecard.

I want Sully to do that and see if the candles go out.

Sizzle.

Put the gremlins to work about a month ago on the twist for this year's 7's.

 

Woke up about 3 AM last night.

 

The gremlins delivered unto me an idea that was not available while in conscious thought. I think they knew enough to wait until after Bethpage.

 

Going on a mini-vacation next week. Gonna start #nameIt when I get back.

City - you should take your $400 in global golf credit and a buy sh*t load of SpeedFoam.

We've already covered this. Boost > SpeedFoam.

 

Buy yourself $400 worth of Adidas Boost shoes.

[TheCityGame]

If you regularly play a course with wet fairways and very soft, receptive greens does it make any sense to play any ball except as low a spinner as you can find?

There is no other tournament (including Cap Cup-blasphemy I know) that each year I look forward to more than the 7's at Gpow.

 

Just the mention of it is enough for an anticipation semi-chubb...
