So then based on my math, you only shot a 122 vs. a 128.aggiefan2002 said:
I know--front nine was 66. Yikes.
Does he ask for your input and then ignore it? When it comes to golf, I think you'll find that a lot of people don't care to listen to unsolicited advice, even if it's correct. But if he asks, then that's a different story.Quote:
He doesn't listen to me when I tell him what he's done to hit a particular shot, so I've pretty-well stopped talking to him.

Learn the Ball Flight Laws! Learn them better than your ABCs.oldflyer said:

...no, I'm not trying to be funny. Also, get some impact tape so that you can see where the ball is on the clubface at impact. Learn the fundamentals about ball flight laws so that when you see a particular shot shape, you know what has caused it.
I play golf with a guy that is about a 17 hdcp. He doesn't listen to me when I tell him what he's done to hit a particular shot, so I've pretty-well stopped talking to him. Recently, he was hitting a dead-straight push. He was really frustrated that he couldn't "stop coming over the top". Well, if you know the ball flight laws, then you know that he wasn't coming over the top and what he was trying to do to fix the push was actually contributing to the problem.
Ball flight laws
I love the course, but I have had a hard time breaking 100 the 3 times I have played it. I'm an 11-12 HC, but I typically have a trouble hole and then it seems to carry on to the others moreso than most other courses. It's intimidating to even look at on some holes after you've had a blow up hole. Also, the amount I am usually drinking with my friends doesn't usually help on the last handful of holes.EKG1996 said:
Traditions is a very difficult course so a 100 there is the equilavent of a lower score at most other courses.
Yeah, but pretty badass when it's your son! Gotta be very proud, that's amazing.jja79 said:
My 8th grade son shot 82 at Traditions from the golds last Saturday. He had 2 doubles so he was flirting with 79. It's not fun getting trounced by a middle schooler.
This is absolute truth! You need to develop solid swing mechanics and fundamentals. One of the best Coach's I have ever had asked me this simple question. It was, "If you hit the ball 15yards to right every time, what kind of golfer would you be?" My wrong answer "A fade player." Correct answer "The greatest golfer on the planet!"agsalaska said:
Remember practice doesn't always translate to improvement. It just reinforces whatever you are doing right or wrong.
I could see that. I liked it because it was the most compact yet inclusive I have seen. You are right it is probably not the best for someone learning the laws.bagger05 said:
I understand what your graphic is getting at, but back when I was just starting and didn't really understand how ball flight works it would've confused me.

I don't think the red, black, and blue clubfaces really demonstrate the two distinct coordinate systems (swing path is measured relative to the target but club face is measured relative to the swing path) very well. At impact if your clubface looks like the blue one relative to the target, your ball is going to start left regardless of your swing path. I think this one lays it out a little better:
To hit what I'd call a draw (G in my picture: starts right of the target and works left toward the target), I actually think to myself to make sure my clubface is OPEN at impact to keep from yanking it left -- I guess I just naturally align myself according to the target and think in reference to that. It's certainly backwards from when I started playing and had people tell me to close the clubface at impact.
