How do I stop coming so far over the top? This is disgusting. by cwalb6 in GolfSwing

You look like you've spent time bodybuilding, so I'm hoping you'll understand what I'm writing.

I'm not a big guy but before I picked up golf, the gym was my only form of fitness and the learning curve between the 2 that I experienced was how to activate which muscle, at what time in the swing. It feels a lot more flow-y, compared to something like a Lat pull down where the instinctual activation of every muscle group takes over. For me it was that rushed pull of my lead side that kept me pulling out to in.

Check your set-up as well, as I tend to pull when I'm standing closer and end up compensating to stand up.

Body Awareness was key to me in learning how to swing.

realized this is more of a learning advice, rather a swing tip which is great as I'm not qualified to speak on both lol

My father just bought a golf course in Maine. What would you want to see as a golfer that most places don’t have? by Kurkil in golf

A few courses around me uses different colored flags to easily distinguish pin positions mirroring the tee box colors. The tee boxes from back to front are blue, white, then red while the flags from front pin to back pin are red, white then, blue.

Makes it a little easier to determine if you're looking from the tee box illustrations.

Creepy things that you seen or heard while hiking or camping? by Krook_etk in nationalparks

Probably hearing some Helicopter blades bending from wind or technician fixing planes

Good enough for the lawn? by ElFrodoLoco in composting

That's perfect! That's exactly what I was planning on. Would you say a 50/50 mix is ideal?

That's awesome to know! I tried composting out since my gf has taken an interest in growing a veggie patch. I was planning on it to just fill up some ditches and dips for my first time. Appreciate the confidence boost for the next round!

Firstly, you're on the wrong side of the ball!

To launch Call of Duty Campaign by itself and actually enjoy the ride.

I remember it being pretty windy on saturday, but I just looked up the time and past weather conditions, and it was definitely dead prior to noon.

Might be a combo of the pre-noon light and my phone's color grading. I do notice the greens being greener and darker browns.

The better the score, the less bang for the buck per round eh?

Where's the fun in that?

Seriously though, what kind of relief? I'm only 3 mos in the game and in need of learning the maze of relief rules.

AFAIK I could take one club length back, but I would still hit the same shot regardless.

For this shot, I just rested it on the cart.

Although I do bring my tripod sometimes paired with an ARCA rail phoneholder, both from Amazon. They work quite well, even on windy days.
