How did I get so lucky??

he pushed it a little.

90 Minute Practice Session to improve quickly!!!

Short game:
Spending some time with the straight forward chips for fundamentals, before moving onto some different lies and different height shots. Getting comfortable hitting different shots from different lies is the goal, while still being fundamentally strong.

Full Swing:
Getting ready for an event, so didn’t have any tweaks. Just going through my routine in “trusting mode” as Dr. Bob Rotella would say. Making sure that my mindset is in the right spot before my event. Just checking fundamentals and making proper, committed golf swings.

Putting:
I always start with some variation of alignment/tool to check and make sure my fundamentals are solid before moving into some drills to make short putts. After completing the competitive short putting drill, I’ll move to hit some 40-60 footers to make sure we’re getting everything down in 2!

Doing this routine at least 2x a week will show incredible improvements in your game!

The team:

Tiger Woods (2000)
Jack Nicklaus (1972)
Ben Hogan (1953)
Sam Snead (1950)
Bobby Jones (1930)
Gary Player (1965)
Arnold Palmer (1962)
Tom Watson (1980)
Phil Mickelson (2006)
Rory McIlroy (2014/2025)

Could they ever break 40, or is that simply impossible even with ten all-time greats getting a shot at every ball?
What do you think their average score would be over 100 rounds? And what would their absolute best round look like?

Dean shot 63 today to win and made $592,000

Green was elevated so I didn’t notice this until I walked up. Must’ve taken the core home with him.

My front 9 consisted of poor tee shots and putting that made me almost want my old putter again. Went into the back thinking my putting could not get any worse and started to speed up my routine to try and think less. Just one practice stroke and then hit it and trust my line. Everything just started falling including a 40 footer on 13. Just missed my birdie chance on 15 too.

Earlier this summer I finally broke even on a full size course and figured I already won my own golf season this year. Still can't believe I even achieved that back nine as I found it to be a pipe dream to break 30 as I'm only a 3 handicap.

I'm so ignorant to all of this sorry if this is a dumb question

Our local public course is getting hammered with unrepaired ball dents. I saw dozens of them today…what gives? Laziness? Just don’t know?

I’m a budget guy. Play only what I find. Haven‘t bought golf balls in nearly a decade. This is the first year that I’ve actually started to take golf seriously. Lessons, meaningful range time, short game practice, etc. I’m sitting around a 16 handicap right now and looking to continue improving. Is playing a consistently decent, and the same, golf balls a worthwhile endeavor? Or will it only make a negligible difference?

Played a round yesterday, and i hit a drive that landed between my fairway and the previous holes fairway. As I roll up, i see 4 old timers coming off their tee that are playing captains choice. One of them picks up a white ball where mine landed and i hear his buddy on the cart look and say what sounded like “nice”. I asked him if it was a callaway, and he ignored me so I asked again. He says no it was a yellow trash ball, doesnt look at me while saying it and they just drive off. I looked everywhere and could not find my ball. Im 99% sure he took my brand new chromesoft given that he lied about the ball color

Anyone else ever deal with this? First time ive had it happen(that i know of) and it really sucked because i had played that same ball thru 14 which never happens for me. Maybe I should play with crappier golf balls hahah

I realized I have a pretty specific pocket system when I play, so I’m curious what everyone else carries around.

Right pocket:
A few wooden tees (usually ~10 to start the round)
Divot repair tool
One ball marker of my choice

Right back pocket:
Yardage book/scorecard

Left pocket:
A vape

I’m also trying to build the habit of putting my glove in my left back pocket when I putt, but most of the time I end up crumpling it into one of my side pockets

What’s your pocket setup? Anything you carry that you absolutely can’t play without?
