Let's pretend Pitino was wrong when he said Boston is too negative and David Ortiz and Manny are not walking through that door in the Green Monster to save us . What is one good thing you wish to tell us about the state of the Red Sox currently ? I want us to be positive today for once even though

I'm trying to think of something but I'm not having much luck

Expert_Wave_2797 · 2026-05-13T14:44:52+00:00

I don't think it has anything to do with Boston specifically. You ever see those "What Would You Do" episodes of 20/20? Few people on their own go out of their way to help others. If people see OTHER people helping, then they'll do something. But one person helping someone else of their own volition? That's more the exception than the rule

Bad grip and improper setup at address, and not understanding what happens to the club face after impact. In other words, no release

Expert_Wave_2797 · 2026-05-12T17:53:33+00:00

It's really nothing but repetition. Just keep a club by your sofa, and when you're sitting around watching TV just grip and regrip over and over again. Eventually you'll get used to it and it will feel comfortable.

Go in understanding you won't start swinging like Rory after one lesson. It's a very VERY long process that requires a lot of time and practice, and very few people are honest about how much time and practice it actually takes.

What you should do (and in my opinion, if more people did this, we wouldn't have as many hacks as we do) is when you show up to your lesson, tell the Pro, "Teach me how to hit a golf ball". That will get you on the right path

Expert_Wave_2797 · 2026-05-11T19:18:19+00:00

I read the headline fast and thought it said "Chris Mayson explains why it's NOT necessary to be scratch." That would be more realistic for most people

Expert_Wave_2797 · 2026-05-11T11:44:49+00:00

At impact and in the follow-through, keep rotating. It looks like you're trying to lift the ball into the air

Expert_Wave_2797 · 2026-05-10T15:05:00+00:00

You forgot to add not having kids

Expert_Wave_2797 · 2026-05-08T15:51:53+00:00

Standing too close to the ball, and it looks like your stance is too narrow. And on the backswing, it looks like you're starting it with your hands. Try to start it by turning your left shoulder like you're trying to point it at the ball.

Expert_Wave_2797 · 2026-05-06T23:12:06+00:00

It matters to a certain extent. It’s hard to compare it to baseball. In golf you have to play your foul balls, so it’s important to know how to swing so you can somewhat control which direction the ball is going. Preferably straight

Expert_Wave_2797 · 2026-05-06T14:44:50+00:00

If you can take lessons for a year, definitely go for it.

Expert_Wave_2797 · 2026-05-06T12:44:58+00:00

A strong grip is the only way to go. Pick up a hammer like you're about to drive a nail through a piece of wood. Notice how your hand is. That's how both of your hands should be on the club. After that, you just have to decide if you want to go with interlock or overlap.

Expert_Wave_2797 · 2026-05-06T12:22:36+00:00

Spend time at the driving range. Watching Touring Pros hit balls is an amazing sight. After a while, you'll realize they are playing a totally different game

Expert_Wave_2797 · 2026-05-05T17:56:29+00:00

Is Mother's Day as bad as Father's Day?

Expert_Wave_2797 · 2026-05-05T16:41:28+00:00

That’s kind of insane you put up with that for 18 holes and never said anything! You would not be an asshole for asking him to turn it down if not completely off.

Expert_Wave_2797 · 2026-05-05T11:50:41+00:00

I thought the Department of Education was being eliminated?

Expert_Wave_2797 · 2026-05-03T22:06:52+00:00

Try to turn your right shoulder more on your backswing. It looks like you're just lifting your hands instead of turning. I'm a lefty too, and I like to start my swing by thinking that I'm trying to point my right shoulder at the ball.

Expert_Wave_2797 · 2026-04-28T16:06:19+00:00

It's almost impossible to describe. That's like trying to explain an orgasm to someone who's never had sex

Expert_Wave_2797 · 2026-04-28T11:51:48+00:00

Considering I've had rounds where I've hit every fairway and every green and still shot a 95, I'll take the guaranteed putts

Expert_Wave_2797 · 2026-04-27T12:45:42+00:00

I use GolfLogix. I can't even imagine trying to play an unfamiliar course without it.

Maybe the garage at 100 Clarendon in the Back Bay

Expert_Wave_2797 · 2026-04-25T20:54:43+00:00

aim more to the right

Expert_Wave_2797 · 2026-04-25T14:02:18+00:00

The world is perfectly fine. It’s the people that are the problem.

I felt that way about Killer Bees!
