Surely leftists will listen to this, rationally reflect on it and change their ways.

I’ve played for 30 years and this seems like a very rare occurrence to me. Embrace the challenge. Golf isn’t fair.

Guys, it’s time to face the reality that it’s not 2018 anymore. They will sell plenty of buckets in that condition at $16 all weekend every weekend. $16 today is what $8 was in 2018. You’re talking compounded inflation of at least 35-40% over that time coupled with at least 200% higher demand. It’s pointless to complain about this stuff. If you want to hit quality golf balls off of decent turf on a regular basis, you’re probably going to have to join a private club.

Is there anywhere inside of an hour of this area worth toting the sticks for? Asking for a friend

If you want a lot of check spin, make more of a cut swing motion. (Outside in)
I didn’t like LIV but didn’t hold it against the players. Gotta say the people who lose their minds either way and hate players because they went to LIV or hate players because they called out LIV players all seem pretty loserish to me

re: Increasing club head speed

Posted by dpd901 on 5/16/25 at 9:39 pm
Squats. deadlifts, bench press, military press

2/3 times/wk. Heavy weight

Med Ball Slams, Med Ball throws

2-3 sets of ten, lighter weight, but maximum intent. Throw/Slam with as much speed as you can possibly generate

As others mention, train driver at max speed regularly w/o worrying about where it’s going

They also need to redo the redone bunker surrounds. Terrible.

Coincidently, this popped up in the Trivial Pursuit Game my family played today
He should win. He’s the best player and it’s a great track for him. But it’s golf so who knows?
I’ve never played it, but all my buddies who have speak highly of Winddance
Boo the OP! We’re not all sitting around watching a TV 24/7, Grandpa

re: Releasing clubs through impact

Posted by dpd901 on 4/22/25 at 8:39 pm
Imagine a finish line of a race running through your ball, perpendicular to the target line. Your thought should be “hands win the race”. Practice this feel on short swings.. take your hands back like thigh high. Swing through with a lot of speed and exaggerate the shaft lean and body rotation though impact

Mike Bender’s coaching really focuses on this. Follow him on IG.
