If Phil continues to drive like that, he's going to win at Augusta and have a monster year.
He's striking the ball so well and his short game is the best it's been...it's always been about the driving and he's just ripping it and keeping it in play. This has to give him a ton of confidence. |

I think it helped that he simplified his short game instead of Pelz'ing it up. He cost himself several majors by not getting in shape sooner and keeping dumbass Rick Smith as his coach for years.

The Masters is going to be very, very intriguing and awesome...esp. if Tiger's game is in shape by then.
You know the hype with Mickelson/Woods for the #1 ranking would be incredible. |

I'm so friggin' sore and tired and sunburned lol. I can't remember the last time I played that much. |

Practiced for an hour and a half again today.
I'm trying to focus on standing taller over the ball and keeping my weight on the inside half of my right foot so I don't sway as much in the backswing. Unfortunately, I can never tell how far I'm actually hitting the ball since I hit balls at a muni that has decrepit ass range balls and I have astigmatism so I lose sight of the ball after about 200 yards in the air.

I need to get to the range...was actually shocked how well I played today for not swinging a club in quite some time.
Struck the ball very nicely, putter was rusty though...ugh lol. |

After a horrible, horrible, horrible round Friday that consisted on 0 GIR and 0 pars, went out and played nine today. 6 over 41 while finishing bogey bogey double. Overall happy, just got sloppy and unlucky on one shot at the end.
Got my balls in from lostgolfballs.com. 8 dozen Nike One Platinum(AAAAA) for $126 off the ebay site. Only 2 had scuffs on them, while around 10 had a slight mark that they had painted over. They played just like new though. |

Smitty and OTW (or anyone else)
Anyone here good at diagnosing swing flaws? I made a gif and video of my swing that I'd like someone to take a look at to see if anything jumps out at them. I'd be much appreciative.

Sounds like SOP for LGB's. When I order over 6 dozen, there's never more than a handful with scuffs, and they are usually VERY slight. I'm not sure why anyone pays retail for golf balls. |

On golf balls: Golf Digest (I think) this month had a good article on buying used balls, and the websites that they bought from, good read. I should put helpfull links in the OP of this thread. Went out today and played in the noon game, couldn't believe anyone showed up. We had crazy winds here today. Shot a 79, hit the ball good, but man that wind was crazy. It would bend the hell out of putts, throw small chips offline, at one point I hit a hybid from 145 out into the gusting wind, It was pin high, the norm I hit that club is about 220. Oh well, better than work.

The last two times at the range I've really worked at maintaining the flex in my right knee as I hit through the ball. I think one of my biggest problems is that I tend to lose it when I come down into the ball, which tilts my hip up, and throws my swing plane off.
I'm going to track down a camera and film my swing again so that I can take another look @ it.

Absolutely.
Played yesterday in gale force winds, and have a trip to the lake planned this weekend to play 4 rounds in 3 days. Tantara, Osage National and Old Kinderhook. The thumb feels surprisingly good (Doc said I can't do any more damage) so I'm off and running. 28 putts yesterday with my new Cameron. Too bad the rest of my game is shit. ![]() |
