re: Drills to stop swaying in backswing
Posted by The Johnny Lawrence on 4/22/24 at 4:59 am
Basically. If I feel like I'm swaying, I'll do it for a few swings and then go back to normal after I get the proper feel back. If you're really struggling, you can hit a stack of balls or play a round like that and your body will start to grasp the concept. ...

Put a ball under your right foot (assuming you're right handed). Put it on the outer half of the ball of your foot so the outer portion of the foot is slightly off the ground. ...
re: Anyone got any updates on the Bluffs

I think making it affordable is the wrong route.
It's an hour from most places in Baton Rouge. That means an hour there, an hour back, hour to pay/warmup/ grab drinks before teeing off, and four hours for golf. That's 7 hours without going to the 19th hole. That's basically an entire day.
I ...

Lake Oconee has a bunch of courses that are all nice. Could make that work depending on budget. ...
re: Your daughter gets in the ANWA do you caddy?

I'd down vote you if you didn't recognize it. Most don't.
I recognize it in myself and I make an active effort not to GAF about my kid's sporting events. It is the only way I can be. I can't be half way in, so I'm all the way out.
If you were my dad, I'd be grateful that you grasped that fac...

I'd want to caddy for her because it would be something we would be able to cherish for the rest of our lives.
Caveat: that assumes I normally caddie for her and we worked well together.
Caveat 2: that assumes she wasn't actually trying to win the tournament. If you are trying to win the tou...

re: #7 green at City Park in BR
Posted by The Johnny Lawrence on 4/2/24 at 10:21 pm
I think I lay this out every time City Park is discussed. Obviously blow up every green and start over with bigger greens with bold contours. Think Metairie's greens. Just steal your favorite 9 greens and copy them inch for inch.
Use good grass on the greens that can actually be maintained as gr...
re: Greystone
Posted by The Johnny Lawrence on 4/1/24 at 4:34 pm
Oh. I hated the course for a long time for the same reason. Play a round or two with someone who knows the course, and it gets markedly better. Once you know what club to hit off the tee and what you need to aim at, it isn't bad at all.

Wow. I've heard a lot of Greystone takes, but that isn't one I've ever heard.

I've played it a good bit over the years. Rarely do I walk off feeling anything other than beat down. Some like that. Some don't. I like it, but don't know if I'd be interested in that as my home course.

re: More Public Golf Courses under threat (City Park in New Orleans)
Posted by The Johnny Lawrence on 3/25/24 at 7:01 am
The amount of improvements the north would require to match the south makes it financially stupid. You can't have a high end golf course with 14-15 holes of 1 style and 3-4 with a completely different style, grass types, green types, etc. There has to be cohesion and that reno would be expensive.

re: Masters - Practice vs Sunday
Posted by The Johnny Lawrence on 3/23/24 at 2:55 pm
Tournament rounds to me are better because it's more organized. You have a tee sheet and you know who is teeing off, in what order and they all play 18 holes. If you sit on 16, you'll see a group every 10-15 minutes. It you sit on 16 on Monday-Wednesday, you may or may not see any groups. No telling...
