Random Thoughts VIII

[Slydell]

Thanks, EGO. Might pick up a box to try.

It's hard not trying to kill the ball when you're driving. Only thing I've changed about my swing over the past four years, is not coming over the top of my shoulder with the driver.

I have that 3/4 swing thing going on too. There are some days where I'm striking the ball really good and I'll go with a full swing. Even with a 3/4 swing, I can still put it out there about 275-285.

I'm probably doing a 3/4 thing, too. I've hit very few in the 250+ range. If I can get a 220-230 straight, I'll take it. I'll make it up on the second shot or around the green. I played with a guy in Texas who out drove me by 60-70 yards every time. He would hit it straight down the middle. I would get to the green first, though.

been in the library for 9 hours with only one break (dinner).... needing summer.

It's all about the second swing, anyway. Approach shot and short game will always trump drive...it's a scientific fact.

 

[VOLNBAMA]

Proven by science

 

[Slydell]

Agree. I hit every wedge shot today. Felt good.

 

[TEX_VOLFAN]

Drive for show, putt for dough.

 

[Slydell]

Putts were good today. These greens were in much better condition than the course last week.

 

[TEX_VOLFAN]

Damn, I wanna go hit some golf balls now.

 

[Slydell]

Yeah, I know. I'll be smacking some around again tomorrow. Probably Thursday, too.

I don't get to play that often, but plan on getting out this Saturday.

Concerning prior discussions of the golf swing and distance, it's not the full backswing but the wrist set and release that provides most of the club head speed.

Endzone golf team......

The nursing home runs a group of you men out to the course that often?

I stick with TPX.

For wood?

 

[NewToVolCountry]

Wood's all I use now. I usually just goof off on middle school fields now so it keeps most balls in the park.

 

[ego]

For wood?

No...back in the little league days.
