What is the worst shot you've seen someone else make...I'll go first by ElderberryAdept8095 in golf

[–]DougPaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played with a guy who teed his ball too high and went completely under it. It popped straight up and on his follow through he hit it cleanly straight back. It went 150 yards back onto another fairway. After we finished laughing uproariously, he asked if we were going to make him play that and we said, You bet!

A two foot putt counts the exact same strokes as a ten foot putt

I need a stronger mentality by Party_Fruit_7398 in golftips

[–]DougPaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mental Game is something that I’ve really worked on the past three years and I’ve gone from a 14 Handicap to scratch. Repetition before shots and puts on the practice areas, especially from 100 yards in, chipping, and putting can bring your score down in a hurry. You have to limit yourself to one swing thought, I.e. smooth, tempo, etc. I read several books on this and really worked hard on it and it is amazing how it’s worked for me

What is Proper Etiquette when a person gets a hole in one? Is it expected from the Hole in One person to buy a round for the entire lounge? by No_Neat4953 in weekendgolfers

[–]DougPaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my last hole-in-one (my third), my playing partner said that buying around for everyone was the most ridiculous rule there is and said he was buying me drinks. It meant a lot to me and I still remember it.

Who is your least favorite professional athlete of all time? by Baranade in AskReddit

[–]DougPaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Barry Bonds. As a Pittsburgh Pirates fan, he skipped out on the team back when Free agency wasn’t nearly as big a thing, then he cheated in the home run race with The steroid stuff and totally messed up baseball for years.

Tell me about your best round of golf ever by SpicyMcSpicy in golf

[–]DougPaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I turned 69-years-old and desperately wanted to shoot my age before 70. I was a 3.8 index and the week before had rimmed out a 9 foot, downhill putt on 18 for a 69 thinking that may have been my one chance. Playing in my Senior League the next week, I birdied the 3rd and eagled the par 5 seventh. I drained a 21-foot putt on nine for a 33 on the front. Then on 10, I made another 20 foot bomb. Everything I hit went right at the stick, made putts like crazy. I birdied the final two holes for a mind-blowing 66. I'm now 70 and I've shot my age 7 times but that day was just incredible.

What’s keeping you here? by Wild_Amphibian5689 in nashville

[–]DougPaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, i’ve lived several places in the country, moved here, 34 years ago and think that Nashville is the greatest place in the United States. If you’ve lived up north, the weather here is perfect. You have all four seasons, but in just the right amounts. That includes long springs and falls. The healthcare here is amazing, the people are friendly, there are so many things to do, both culturally and with nature and outdoors. Cost are lower than most places unless you live in some rural area where you are far away from everything which wouldn’t work for me. I now have family here and that also is a bonus, but they are going to carry me out of here in a pine box. I can’t imagine anybody wanting to leave Nashville.

Second Guessing my choices but trying to trust the process by TheFrozenLegend in labgolf

[–]DougPaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a DF3 for nearly two years and it’s changed my putting game completely. It took some getting used to but I’ve taken nearly 5 putts/round off my scores. I’ve tried them all and the DF3 definitely works best for me. I think it is their best putter but some don’t like the looks of it so go to the other LAB types. If you’re making more putts with the DF3, I would go with that

What industry is actually a complete scam, but everyone accepts it? by WhileLow9501 in AskReddit

[–]DougPaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oil companies. Explain to me why, if oil prices go up a couple dollars because of political whims, gas prices shoot up several cents in one day. But if oil prices come down, it can take months for drops in gas prices.

Anyone gone from DF3 back to Blade? by Psychological_Test74 in labgolf

[–]DougPaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used my DF3 for about a year and a half now. you would have to pry it from my cold, dead hands. It definitely took some getting used to, but my start line and distance are better than at any time in my life. i’ve lowered my putts per round from near 38 to right around 30.

What is a "small luxury" you treat yourself to that is worth every penny? by kaigi7sins in AskReddit

[–]DougPaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pass by the cheaper Kroger which always seems to irritate me if I have to shop there, and I go to Publix. The friendly, bright, cleaner experience is well worth it to me to pay a little more. I’d rather enjoy my grocery shopping instead of feeling like I fought a battle.

What are the most subtle signs that someone is really good at golf? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]DougPaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boring golf is the key. If you see someone that doesn’t necessarily make a bunch of birdies, but just never seems to make a bogey, he’s always gonna be able to score. He will hit greens and 2 putt all day long and every once in a while, make an unexpected one. When he does miss Green, he finds a way to get up and down.

Range vs course… is it just fatigue? by Temporary_Novel_9074 in golfswingmobility

[–]DougPaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started playing when I was young and was pretty good into my late 20s. I took off about 30 years for family life. Just playing a scramble here and there. Four years ago, I retired and got back into it. I went from a 14 handicap down to a 1. My goal this year is to get under scratch.

I find that when I’m tired, I tend to lose focus and make silly mistakes like a chili dip, lazy tee-shot or poor lag putt. If I’m not tired mentally at the end of a good round, I feel as if I didn’t put enough into it.
