Yep players playing 18 in the playoff, he is now dead behind a tree. I mean at the base of the tree with no shot into the green. Talk about a turnaround. He played 18 terribly in regulation, but just piped a 3 wood about 335 off the tee and is now drawing dead so to speak. Unluckly.

I got the shanks. Last time I played I shot 36-45 and could feel them coming on the second nine. Went to the range and I shanked like 1/4 of my shots. I almost hit this girl who had had a Nebraska University bag hitting a few stalls down from me. Embarrassing.

And Robert Garrigus is the first one out of the playoffs. From sure winner to goat in 2 holes. Hope he finishes strong this year gotta feel for the guy trying to get his first win.

Ok this tournament is getting pathetic..... In the 3rd playoff hole Westwood misses from 6-7 feet Karlson had the exact same putt and misses, both bogie 14. Moving on to the 4th playoff hole and back to the 18th.

Have any of you guys ever taught your child to play golf?
I've been taking my 7 y/o daughter to the local course where we hit some balls on the driving range and mess around on the putting green. I bought her a driver, a 7 iron and a putter. She seems to be enjoying it so far. I've shown her a basic grip and how to set her feet but other than that I'm trying to just let her hit and have fun. I'm not sure what to do from here. Since I'm really not much of a golfer myself I don't really have any business being a teacher. But on the other hand I'm not sure I need to be. Right now I get a bucket of balls and we take turns hitting for a few minutes at a time, then we go putt for a while and then we go out to lunch. A good time is had by all. Anyone have any experience with this? Right now I'm thinking we'll just keep doing what we're doing but I wonder if I could add some real instruction without her noticing. I don't want to turn it into a chore. |

You can teach your kid to play golf even if you aren't that good.
Focus on the following: Grip, stance, and alignment. Have her hit balls with a shaft or golf club at her feet, pointing down the target line. Also, it will be far more helpful if you teach her how to chip and putt, and then hit pitch shots, and then full shots. You should learn golf from green to tee, not vice versa.

Supposed to play in a scramble tomorrow, but I think the 3 inches of rain we've had today will of put a stop to that.

The first thing in regards to shortgame play is how to chip and run the ball. Then they have to learn when to use it. It's Amazing how beginners will stand up to a chip shot like they're going to hit a full shot. ![]() You have to get closer to it, play it back in your stance. let go of the club, toe it in(close the face) then grip it. Don't take it back past knee high depending on the length, slope and general conditions of the shot. Don't take it to far back and quit on it(decelerate on your through swing). You'll most likely hit behind it but you could also blade it. Chances are you won't hit it crisp regardless. Keeping a firm left wrist is helpfull but don't over do it and tighten up.. Also stroke it with the tempo of a putt. (If you have a tempo to your stroke?) And above all else "relax"! And don't forget to visualize! Vi-Vi-Visualize! ![]() PhilFree ![]()

![]() Spending more time chipping is a good idea. That might be fun. The big challenge with a kid that age is keeping things fun. Last week I took a stuffed monkey with us on the putting green and set it over the cup for a target. That was a big hit. In fact, two other boys about the same age there with their dad wanted to come over and putt with us cause, you know, we had a monkey. But I can't expect to come up with genius ideas like that every week. |

I would also recommend that you play games with her on the putting green. Also, don't keep her out there for long periods of time.
You can have her pick holes on the green to putt to and treat each one of them as a golf hole. Putt along with her and let her win most of the time.
