How many times per round do you hit an approach shot pin high(either to the left or right) with a 5-6-7-8 iron?

Most players seem to be putting with the flagstick out...even Bryson. If it was truly an advantage as Pelz claimed, more players would keep it in. Guess he was incorrect.

What constitutes an unfair or unreasonable pin placement? Played a course today (won't name it), great conditions but at least three of their pin placements were IMHO unfair to most golfers (and I'm being very generous). They were either at the bottom or middle of a relatively steep grade on...

Most of us have probably heard of Pine Valley. It is pretty much always either #1 or #2 of the top golf courses in the world. On the Golf Channel right now they are showing a Shell's World of Golf classic with Gene Littler playing Byron Nelson at Pine Valley. Wow is it one pretty looking golf...

Normally, I would not refer anyone to an advertisement, but there are exceptions. The following Pinehust No. 2 advertisement (http://www.centennialpackage.com/centennialpackage.html ) is wonderful, if for no other reason than the videos of the musings of two of their long-time caddies. These two...

It's Master's week, but here's a preview for this year's US Open. Prior to our trip to Augusta, mjf and I spent a few days in Pinehurst. We ended up playing 8 rounds in four and a half days. We played both of the courses at the Pine Needles resort, Mid-Pines and Pine Needles. Both are Donald...

Course is open today ! Lucky

I have a set of ping g400 irons. How do I know what color they are. I got them as a gift and can’t figure out the color scheme

The Ping G20 driver encompasses a slightly wider face than the G15 and at address the pinnacle seems larger, though almost as giant because the K15. this is often achieved by a shallower crown and additionally visually by a lighter antimonial silver end. It’s fascinating that Ping have captive...

Has anyone heard of these guys, seems they deal in golf clothes and other golf stuff. They also have a Canadian office right here in Ottawa.

In light of recent events on the PGA tour, whats the most pain you've played through in a round of golf?

I saw this on one of the articles here, I registered, why not? One lucky person will play in the Pro-Am with Tiger at Dubai. Here is the link http://www.golfindubai.org/enewsletter/Oddc_Draw.aspx

I know why i've been messing up now. I've been watching my backswing & taking my eyes off the ball. Such a simple thing to do, such a difficult thing to notice. There was a new girl in the pro shop today & she would only let us play the front instead of the back. Usually we opt for the back as...

Played a match as part of the NCGT tour at the Meadows. Both of us are 11.9 indexes and it proved to be about as even as you can get. Back and forth the whole round I was down 2 at the turn but took 10 and 11 to go all square. got one down and then hit my approach to 3 feet on 15 after almost...

I played golf barefoot for the first time since I was a kid last Monday at Montebello, this wasn't planned. I was on the 8th hole, I think it's called The Brook, I overcooked my drive and my ball looked to have bounced into the Brook. We drive down there and look for my ball beside the Brook then I...

Played manderly on Sunday... very wet but still looks like a great course. I went with my friend and his friend Steve. <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> We get tot he first dogleg and the guys behind us thought we had cleared and they could go ahead. They almost hit Steve in the leg with their shot. What...

Played Greensmere today. Only the back nine open right now and it was in excellent shape. Greens were excellent. Fairways were actually being mowed and this is only the first day open. I could have worn running shoes and not got my feet wet. Only standing water was on 13 and it wasn't bad...

hey guys, I feel like crap. I played glen mar twice today (7am and 1120am) and I feel really sick now. I drank a lot of water while I played (atleast 4 litres). My head is hurting,I can't keep my eyes open. I kinda feel like how I feel when i get back from going to a club. Any ideas as to what...

and could not help notice that my buddy and I were the only ones on the course in the morning. Granted the conditions were less then ideal but we had a 2 for 1 card so the price was right and after a little while the weather cleared somewhat......by the afternoon there were 5 cars in the parking...

I love it.. pgatour.com is webcasting live from the 17th at TPC Sawgrass again this year. Coverage starts at 9 am and goes till 7 pm.. Sweet.

How do you think you'd score? Does the course you play regularly allow you to try it? I'm going to find out tomorrow or Thurs. Made a deal to swap my irons and I won't have the new ones in my hands until later this week or early next (so if anyone has a set of 5-PW that they'd like to lend, it...

Has anyone tried playing a round or hitting balls after weight training? I did so last night and had totally no tempo and was constantly trying to clobber the ball. Lesson learned but was wondering if anyone else had the same experience?

So, it's early evening and you start your round on an empty golf course, by yourself. You take this opportunity to hit some practice shots, but always keep track of the "real" ball in play. Let's say you hit on average 3 balls every shot. You keep score always with the first ball, and never...

I am going to Keystone Collorado and will be playing the Keystone Ranch and The River courses. The courses sit at 9,200 feet above sea level. I've played Arrowhead but that course was only 5,200 feet above sea level. On that course the ball may have been travelling a little farther or maybe...

Having read several recent discussions on this site on golf rules, I thought I would lead you to the following site. www.sortagolf.com. In case you are wondering. I can't say that I play by the rules. I just don't know them all. And even if I did, I think that some of them are too inconvenient...

Anybody ever "step up?" :laughing: I went out with my wife and two friends of ours (ladies) and we had the kids with us so to keep it easier (and safer with me driving the ball) they talked me into just teeing it up from the forward tees. It's ridculous easy from up there, I was amazed. I rarely...

Anyone every tried it? Or tried qualifying? Over the summer I've decided that this is my new "recreational" life goal. I noticed that the qualifier involves having to shoot under par at a considerably difficult course... Should make for a fun road :scratchch Looking for tips, advice or simply...

I was playing at Stonebridge today with 30km wind and gusts up to 45km...i could never seem to get comfortable over my set up the whole round. Only time i felt comfortable was on #18 tee box cause the wind was sheltered and i made birdie :) How do you guys handle windy days?

I am having very little luck getting my usual golf buddies out on a regular basis as they have all just started families. If you are having similar troubles with unreliable playing partners maybe we could get out for a round on the weekend.

Question for the golf gurus out there: I've been playing golf intermittently over the past few years, and last year, me and my bro-in-law were playing round almost every weekend. He's my main playing partner, as most of my friends/family aren't into the game. So my question is, is it wierd if...

:P Teeing it up today boys and girls at 12:34 down here in sunny South West Ontario. :-) I had my new Mizuno MP-57's bent to my specs last night, so I am good to go! It might not be pretty, the grass might not be green but 9 holes at Pine Knot is open and that is good enough for me!

My wife and I had the extreme pleasure of playing with one of our pros at Buckingham this morning.What really impressed me the most is the way they strike each club the same tempo. The iron play is the most enjoyable to watch. When they get in trouble of the tee, they can still stick it close to...

I had a round the other day - went out as a single and ended up pairing up with a marshall from that course (meadows) i'd say he was late sixety's .......on the 1st nine holes I was pounding drives (at least 50-70 yards longer than my partner) and missing the short putts 3-7" range ....... finished...

I need a huge solid from the OG community. A friend of mine was golfing recently at the Meadows East 9. He lost a MRH Titleist DCI 962, 9 iron. It has a Dynamic Gold Sensicore S400 shaft with a Lamkin Crossline grip with the logo underneath the shaft. If anyone has any info at all please send...
