The official AK golf thread

I was thinking the same. Went to the range with phone and these comments . Made 2 setup changes:
1. Choked down on the grip ..maybe a half inch?
2. Moved shaft forward enough to get clubface lined up to the target. This eliminates the offset.
Hope this helps. So far it's working for me.

Hmmm. My limited golf IQ means learning a third swing for hybrids is not in the cards. My buddy has 3-4-5H set so I revisit my decision often. Sometimes they hit great. Other times it takes too many swings to get back in the groove.
 
Played last weekend up north , Verona HILLS IN CASEVILLE Mi with a bunch of guys and my son for the weekend . Shot 80 and 81 and really didn’t hit the ball very well . So the new clubs are working like I need them 2 . HVe fun playing this weekend end. Up to the cottage for 12 days should play at least 6 to 8 rounds .
 
Well, the PGA and NBC/Golf Channel sure screwed the pooch today. Rickie Fowler has quite a fan following, and positioned himself going into today's final round to win for the first time in 4 years.. Forecasts of bad weather led the officials to up the starting time 3 hours to miss the rain. But in their infinite wisdom, they chose to NOT up the broadcast time, but rather tape delay. Needless to say, lots of folks are pissed off.

Guess I'll watch LIV.

I turned it on, saw the "Recorded Earlier" banner and thought they were in the middle of a rain delay. Didn't realize that the tournament was already over. Made the mistake of looking online to see what was going on, and saw the news about Ricky's win. Oh well, watched it anyway to see how he did it.

I had a great round with the putter last Monday. 9 one putts and 27 putts for the round. I shot a 91 which isn't bad for an old guy that can't hit the ball 200 yards anymore. ;) My handicap this year is right at 22.

Wish I could say the same thing. I was awful around and on the green today. Shot a 93, should have been an 83. Oh well, it's golf.
 
My game came back from the dead today. I've been playing dreadful all year launching golf balls OB with regularity. Today I kept the ball in play and made a few putts for a 42-39. It's amazing how well one can score minus all the penalty strokes.

I have recently strayed from low 90's to mid 80's . Better chipping .

I'm usually a decent putter. Saturday I wasn't. Chipping, I'm awful. If I could chip I'd be mid-high 80's. I'm playing with my brother next week. He's great at it so he said he'd help me.

I improved by relaxing my arms and letting the club head do the work . It took some time but seems to be working.
 
I hit balls with the launch monitor at Roger Dunn which is part of Worldwide Golf Shops. Tried 2 and 4 hybrids, 3 wood, and a Stealth driver with x-stiff shaft. Liked them all. Came home with nothing.
 
My game has crashed and burned the last few rounds. Been chunking chips and burning edges with the putter like I've never done before. Having trouble getting my score into double digits. It may be due to all the heavy smoke around here from all the wild fires we are surrounded by but I doubt it. Take another crack at it tomorrow.
 
In the past 9 days, I’ve played:
S 18
S 18
M 9
T 18
W 0
T 18
F 36
S 36
S 36

189 holes.

Think I’ll take a break.
 
Our annual Ryder Cup is tomorrow.
24 players.
As the Euro captain, the USA captain and I spent ~50 mins on the phone tonight choosing teams and pairings.
We all love it.
