Crickets???
That was the greatest YouTube golf video I ever watched. 2 solo birds and a solo eagle playing with a top five player in the world?
I’m going to take his putting stroke to the green tomorrow. No more pushing a putt when you turn the club over like that , lol!

He hits it straight. I think he's legit under a 10 handicapper. I think there were maybe two bad drives all round. One clearly found the bunker and he's like "yeah that's good". Whatever. Oh, and did he drive on the green on one hole? I guess if he owns the course, no-one can complain, but still. His putting stroke is wonky, but he hit some long ones, too. Overall, I think he can really play. He's old, so I don't think he'll crack 90 from the back tees, but I was surprised he's still actually even this good. Myself, today I played something that looked like golf, at least from tee to green. I believe I hit 11 (eleven!) greens in regulation. But there were 43 putts... so yeah. My excuse is some of the GIR's were right on the edge of the green, making it so impossible to find the cup in two. But I scored 89, on a beautiful hot summer day, so I celebrated with gallons of pineapple long drink. Next round this Sunday.

My handicap as of today is 2.8. Im a long hitter but length is the absolute last thing I worry, or care about. My miss is a hook and only happens with a driver. I regularly take a 3 wood to minimize the hook. My playing partner is a 2 handicap as well and hooks the ball worse than I do. 4 weeks ago he started fading the ball beautifully. He got a new Callaway Smoke driver, probable the ugliest club Ive seen, but man this thing rocks. I tried my hardest to hook the ball with the Smoke, but it only drew a tad. The numbers dont lie. A toe hit still runs out 90% with no real movement. insane. They say this year's tech is basically the same as last years Paradym which was all the rave. I haven't cared about any driver hype in a decade, but seriously can't believe the tech in this club.

You don't use lead tape to cut the hook? I was never less than a 5 hdcp and always a fader. Never a hooker, like you.

These days, trying to get within 20 of my age is the goal. Hitting at Green Valley this weekend. Then likely Schaumburg GC this week. Feeling fairly good, so perhaps I'll see if I can still bowl scratch. Not sure if I can still heft 16 lb.

113 doesn’t seem like a very lofty goal…but hey, I’m not a golfer 🙂

De-lofting -1 and flat makes the face wide open. Hope the Cally works for you!

Jon Rahm finally wins on the LIV Tour, beats Cam Smith, Hatton and Niemann by one stroke. Hatton missed a 6-foot putt on the 18th to force a playoff.
