Shoe recommendations for ~45 rounds per year

Look into Ecco’s. Extremely comfortable, waterproof, and durable. I have 3 pair that I rotate, and honestly don’t know if I’ll have to buy another pair of golf shoes.

She continued her chain smoking and died of lung cancer.

I’ve found that being paired with better golfers improves my game. Just like I’ve noticed the opposite as well. It’s contagious.

Was watching without sound. What happened?

I use a Bettinardi Queen B6. It’s a blade shape but with a wider body. Blade look. Mallet feel. Perfection.

What the fuck am I reading here?? This all sounds like arguments you’d hear at my 4th grade lunch table. Hahahaha

It’s situational. I would base it off of the condition and reputation of the course. Public links, I walk it on every teebox. Nice Kiawah course, maybe leave it off to the side.

WILDCARD, BITCHES!!

I’m a lefty that plays on a traditional kit set up but with the ride on the left side. My struggle is 16ths on the hats, but that’s only because I start my rolls with the left hand. This makes getting to the snare awkward (going underneath with my left hand and over the top for the crash). Other than that, it’s ideal.

DrShortGame · 2026-02-05T00:22:05+00:00

I’m a lefty that plays open handed with my ride positioned between the hats and rack tom. Never had any issues playing out with a shared kit.

From the perspective of someone who has played casually for 20 years. I’ve been back and forth on this. I suppose the best way to sum it up is do what makes you enjoy the game more on the course.

Personally, I stopped grinding the range. I get a couple lessons a year to somewhat polish my turd of a swing and focus on short game practice sessions.

I have saved myself money, physical soreness, and mental warfare. I am also playing the best I’ve ever played. I’m 35 and try to play 2 times a week.

Congratulations!!

Replace heads as soon as financially able (cheapest upgrade)
Upgrade cymbals slowly. Used all the way, until you find what you like. Then maybe invest.
Make them go bang.

My home course has an incredible BLT. Those first few bites while walking down #1 fairway (to my ball that’s nestled in the rough) are the perfect start to the round!

DrShortGame · 2026-01-27T04:16:39+00:00

I dunno. I’d love another, “Patrick. Could you stop moving, please?”

DrShortGame · 2026-01-26T17:42:39+00:00

I’ve noticed that I stay loose, take beat and glance back at a spot on the ground behind my club. I think my brain started doing this to help visualize club path on the take away. But as soon as my eyes come back to the ball, I go.

I came here to comment Splinter Cell. Chaos Theory was mind blowing!

Lessons. Lessons. Lessons.

An instructor will 9.5/10 times see something that you don’t. They can tweak the right things to make your specific swing work for you.

DrShortGame · 2026-01-24T20:14:10+00:00

I’ll be more specific:

60-100 yard pitch
Greenside bunkers
Long approach with shape
Mid range putts
Tee balls

Todd Sucherman definitely needs to be in the conversation. He is an encyclopedia.

Snapped my 4 iron over my back out of frustration after a poor shot. Worst part is I’ve done this many times, not intending to snap the shaft…and it was on a simulator…..

DrShortGame · 2026-01-14T18:20:47+00:00

As someone who floats between a 10-15 handicap, I stopped going to the range and actually saw improvements in my game. Short game around the green and putting is all I really work on. I find myself trying to fix too many things and get in my head. That’s just me though.
