Going to the range today to practice. Is there a particular aspect of your game that you need to improve? If it's a general shotmaking issue then I would suggest going to the range with one club. A nine iron. Get your swing down and get your rhythm going. The swing doesn't change depending on your club (your stance will change, though). Short game not bad, on the green good , out of sand good and from 100 yards out pretty good. Its my stance, its off the tee. I can spray the ball, left for a Hook, right for a slice or right down the middle for a nice fairway shot but inconsistantly....its a crapshoot on the tee. [quote=DuesPaid]Going to the range today to practice. Hell, I'm not a great golfer by any means. But when I'm "playing" (meaning three rounds a week, plus a trip to the range), I'm about a 12 handicap, give or take. When I'm not "playing," I could easily go out and shoot 100. If you're not a pro (and it's truly a God given talent, don't let anyone kid you), you have to play or you're gonna be stuck in the high 90's or low 100s, at best. But back to SC's advice. Take it. Work your way up to a five iron (forget the 3 and 4 irons, they're dated and useless to a weekend golfer). Then get yourself a hybrid, a 7 wood and a 5 wood. And THEN worry about your driver (and buy a "friendly" driver, there are scores of them on the market today). I have several drivers and trying to narrow down which is best for me. I should hit a three wood off the tee but thats no fun, I want to tame one of these Drivers so I can take it on the Par 5 holes. Heading out Monday to a local long course, will probably bring The Squarehead Nike Sumo Driver but should bring the Taylor Made. fUN fUN fUN. Thanks guyz, I will keep it all in Mind.

Watched Tom Watson close out his career at the Open. Great golfer, great man. He won the Open 5 times...not too shabby.
Good Stuff, just watched the replay. Faldo also was out their on the bridge for a few Photo's

British Open. Can Spieth make it 3 Majors? Gosh, this guy is hot. I'm pulling for him. Its lookin really good for him, could happen. The rest of today and Tomorrow should be very interesting. Duval looking like a contender, amazing.

Certainly not Sergio but I like the odds when wagering.
I think I will also have to start to lay a wager on Woods, he should get it back for another big one like some of the more dominant of the past have done.
Westwood looks like he should have already gotten one of those Majors, so I say yes, he will follow in Monte's steps and not get one, that ship may have sailed, its just that some guys just get that zone and it lights up 2010 was his year to do it but did not get it done.
Rory's injury seams minor, so I agree, he will be there again. Speith for sure as well. I just cant make money with those guys so they will not be my picks.
Dustin can and probably will, but I will not be rooting for him. I just cannot get over the way he walked off the course and out of the facility at the Open, no class. Dustin Johnson leaving his runner up chair empty at the presentation was rediculous.
Even Tiger sticks around to do his duty and even answer stupid questions after a lose.
I will be following an Aussie, John Senden. The guy is tight with Greens in regulation, a long ball hitter and only needs to have a hot day with the putter to win a Major. He will be there.
Let me know what you think M.

Just joined my local club after a good few years off...82, 92 and 93 for an 18 handicap...now where's that Ben Hogan book  Very Nice, enjoy. I reccomend the golf logix app if you use a smart phone. It really is amazing, gives you all distances for almost any course, great tracking to advance your play. Special offers on everything golf. And Free. Unless you want the upgraded version. That is 10 or 20 bucks a year.

Dues. I just resigned from my current job. I got some golf on the schedule for next weeks. Can't wait to see what the muscle memory remembers. Played 9 in April. Should be a hoot.
Nice, good luck. I remember once I walked into my local haunt I was hangin at, at the time and yelled out " I just quit my Job and feel feel fuckin great" Well the place erupted and screamin laughter, It was a blast. Hope someone buys you a beer. And I hope you find the deep middle of the fairway on every Tee. Go hit em up and have a great time. I was hot today on the front 9, shot a 48, thought this was the day but shot a 57 on the back for a 105. The 105 is my low for the season, maybe next time i'll break 100. Have fun and good luck Cas

Aug 18, played 18, shot 108 with a couple of Mulligans thrown in. Par'd one hole, par 3. No excuses, but I did tweak my back on the second hole. Had fun. Boomed a couple of drives and a fairway 3 wood; chunked a few chips, made some 10-12 ft putts and threw in a few 3 putts. Highlight of the round - safely hit out of 3 greenside bunkers.
Aug 25, played 9, walked by myself. Didn't keep score. Par'd a short 3 - 110 yards. Par'd a short 5; on in 3, lipped out the bird. A couple of triple bogeys. Might play again this week. Two weeks of not working feels great. Went to the beach 5 times. Nice scenery; water warms, waves up.
