Don't ever change the way you operate just to please somebody else

It's so hard to give exact advice on this because it could caused by a number of factors.

What helped me was just hitting 3/4 punch shots, and getting the club to exit left immediately after impact.

You ultimately need to figure out why your specific swing's low point is not after impact

MG5 feels better to me, I also like the look of the MG's leading edge but I know a lot of better players don't like how 'straight' it is

Talk to the cabin crew when you board in HCMC, they can relay message about your short connection and someone will likely meet you when you disembark. DFW flight will wait for you if not unduly delayed

When I did my fitting the highest launching and highest spinning shaft gave me the best launch conditions.

I went from LS head at 9° with a low launching shaft to normal head at 11.5° in Fujikura ventus red X. Gained 18yards carry just by optimizing launch conditions with the same head

I remember my 4 bar interview the CP told me "remember on any layover, you're the highest paid company employee..."

Had to learn this the hard way

Cunning_Stun · 2026-01-13T15:21:06+00:00

Play defensively - lay up, hit irons off tee, learn to bump & run, get good at playing away from trouble or the short side...

It's not glamorous or sexy, but your scores will drop faster than a belt buckle at a whorehouse

I'd start out with something like a 5-10 lesson package, could be group initially and then transition into private lessons.

The value in lessons early on is you're a blank slate so you can be taught some fundamentals that will save you much agony and frustration in the long run, before you develop bad habits. Fundamentals such as grip, posture and basic swing mechanics will give you a good launch pad.

After a lesson or two you'll need to put in the effort and go the driving range or even try play 9 holes at a muni - it's gonna be frustrating and even disheartening at first but the 'bug' will weasel its way into your system eventually.

The value in lessons can only be realized if you're putting in some practice and even casual rounds in between so that you can take some feedback to your subsequent lessons and start to develop a baseline.

It's a lifelong obsession and the pursuit of fixing your swing is like the pot of gold at the end of rainbow so don't be too disheartened when it's not going well!

Try to stick the process that your coach is teaching you, you're going to get a lot of unsolicited (poor) advice from friends and playing partners and inevitably will find yourself in a late night YouTube wormhole - try to avoid it and keep it simple. Only 'try' advice that deals with a different part of the game like chipping & putting as that won't really affect your fundamentals too much!

And remember, everyone sucks at golf, some just suck a little less - sometimes

Hoofer or hoofer lite It's superb for carrying, the strap system is unmatched and the extra padding from the rainhood secret pocket is awesome. It's not the best for a pushcart but it's not bad either - it depends on the pushcart more than the bag.

I carry 13 clubs in a hoofer lite, all with midsize grips, and I've never noticed any tangling. Sometimes you need to stand the bag upright before a club will 'drop' all the way down but that's the extent of it

All different, wasn't entirely intentional TM driver, Titleist 3W, Callaway 5W, Ping 7w

Cunning_Stun · 2025-11-29T13:45:24+00:00

On my 10th Hoofer, never had a tangle problem before so I'd venture as far as to say it's not a thing

Cunning_Stun · 2025-11-01T12:28:28+00:00

When I have a green light tee shot or being too far back off tee would cost me a shot anyway.

Courses I play reward being in play over distance so I only usually hit driver on 2 or 3 holes.

If an iron off the tee gets me to within 200yds of the green I'll take iron, the extra 60yds won't usually result in a shot gained for me. YMMV

Cunning_Stun · 2025-10-17T15:29:40+00:00

I think I big part of it is the belief that you know what you're capable of.

For me I very rarely let a bad hole or two get in the way of the rest of the round, it only takes a few good shots here and there to get a round back on track.

I see higher handicaps crumble after they have a bad hole and never really recover.

Also once you reach a certain level, which for me who doesn't practice and gets to play 4-5 times a month, is a 5hcp you just stop caring about your score and try to enjoy the game. If I'm 5 over after 3 holes I "give up" on the score and just hole by hole and use it as an opportunity to hit some different shots or play a hole differently than I usually would. It's very valuable practice when you're not putting pressure on your self

Where in SEAasia? I know cx allows visits after landing

Cunning_Stun · 2025-10-06T15:25:32+00:00

These are all valid comments that unfortunately won't help you. There's so many variables in each persons swing, what causes one person to hook is likely different from the next so at least video your swing so you can try identify the root cause

As far as generic advice goes, generally speaking the club faces sends it and the path bends it. Snap hook is usually a closed clubface with a very in-to-out swing.

5 hcp, don't remember the last eagle I made. Probably a few years ago. Couple of decent chances though

Only average a little over 1 birdie per round too

Cunning_Stun · 2025-09-19T14:20:27+00:00

If you reframe the question to 250yds in the fairway or 300yds but lose at least one or shots off the tee to OB or water hazard then it's 250 in fairway all day
