Mr. Mojo Risin' Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Today was brutal. I played well, but two times birdie putts decided to be impossible and die before the hole. You know, the ones where if you hit it too solid it'll go by, but if you hit it too soft it'll curl in front of the hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theanalogkid Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I was brutal on the last course I played. We did the twilinght $10 special again, had to wait a couple times for those in front of us, almost got hit by the anxious rednecks playing behind. People were so slow, we only got 8 holes in before quitting in the dark. But you gotta love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its loads of fun even if you dont play good! UPDATE: I had a really good time. We just went to the driving range and shot a few buckets. It was a lot of fun actually! I can see how golf can be addicting. I would get in one good swing and try to remember what it was that I did and then the next shot wouldn't be so good but the following one would... Anyway, I'm anxious to get out there again. I'm thinking I should stick with the driving range and take a few lessons before hitting the green. (Am I even using the right terminology here?!) I couldn't get out and play a game right now. There's no way! So... my first ball went 20 feet (no kidding) but by the end I could smack those suckers at least out to the 150 yard sign which was good for me I thought. Especially since I didn't have good form and had no idea what I was doing. My guy friend tried to teach me but he's not the best when it comes to stuff like that. And then my girlfriend that I went with was piss poor. Sorry honey but you suck! Her first ball went 20 feet as did her second, fourteenth, twenty-ninth... Funny bit, one time I hit the 100 yard sign and there was a sharp "PING" sound and all the other men on the driving range made a little hoot and holler thing. It was funny. So... golf... I think I like it. Need to get a glove though. My left hand was a bit sore. AND SPEAKING OF SORE!! So... some of you know that I run a lot. I run every day, seven miles. No breaks. My hips are almost constantly sore. I had to take my mind off the soreness as best I could when I swung the club and rotated my hips at the end of the swing. That kind of sucked. One other funny thing I just remembered, there were a number of ball buckets out on the field! You know people must have had some bad swings when you got to chuck the metal bucket out there. Oh, and there was only minimal cussing on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Mojo Risin' Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Well, I fixed my drive....I hit 11/14 fairways today(there were only 4 par-3s on this course, weirdish). However, I had 43 putts(no 4 putts, thankfully), and my approach game was even worse. Shot around 125, playing strictly(no mullies, bumps, free redos, etc.). I really just need to practice more, and not on mats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Ive heard good things about them but I'm afraid I'm just quite used to my X-14s and while I could maybe take advantage of some forgivingness and distance, I really don't want to make a radical change. I played a round with my buddy's Mizuno MP blades and it was okay but I dont think I want to go that route right now. I dont play enough or practice enough.

Janie Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I went and shot another couple buckets of balls at the driving range last night with the same two friends. My guy friend... he tries, lord knows he tries but he's not the best when it comes to direction. Anyway, he tried to help me with my swing last night. You know, I think I did better the first time because I had no idea what I was doing. I just swung the club and that was it. This time I found myself concentrating on my swing (how far back was I swinging the club, was I swinging fast enough, hard enough), my stance, was I keeping my eye on the ball, was I pivoting my hips at the end, was I keeping both feet on the ground before swinging... It really broke my concentration actually! And I am now becoming more aware of golf terminology, namely, worm burners, shank, slice and hook.
