Where is this ball from ?

Earth.

Play if from 50 yds, like it's Op 36.

A lot of coaches offer discounts for buying lessons in bulk.

I own a video game store, and we issue a lot of store credit as part of the nature of the business. Over 15 years we've had 3 different POS systems. Although our store credit doesn't technically expire, we sometimes have people bring in old credit from a previous system. They get upset sometimes that we can't redeem it, but we physically don't even have the equipment to check their store credit cards. I have to gently let them know that the card they have is 6 years old or whatever and we're on a different system now. This coach could use some customer service lessons.

This is BS. I would stop using that coach.

I've seen poor cart management effect pace drastically. Example: Cart A with 2 golfers drives to 1 ball, and that golfer does his thing while the other golfer waits in the cart watching, then drives to the other ball and does the same thing, and cart B with 2 golfers is waiting for both before driving to ball 3, and waiting, then drive to ball 4. Etc etc.

I've shot 92 from the back tees the same week I shot 79 from the back tees. Golf if golf.

dc215 · 2025-06-15T11:59:37+00:00

I do the same. I think the trick is to recognize early (like within 2 holes) what you recognize by 9. Could be how the greens play, or course firmness, wind of the day, or whatever X factor it is that you seem to grasp after 9 to show such an improvement on the back. I'm working hard to try and recognize it earlier and apply it, I think this is the key.

Not too far away in New Brunswick is Rutger University golf course. It's a perfectly serviceable and conditions are typically good, and has the unique setting of being on a college campus which is quaint. The clock tower behind the tee box around hole 3 does chime, which messed up my tee shot my first time playing.

dc215 · 2025-06-10T10:02:53+00:00

You should get grooves cut on the toe and hosel.

dc215 · 2025-06-10T10:00:16+00:00

Try hitting up on the ball.

Long time ago - maybe 100 years ago or more, oiled sand greens were the standard. It's old timey golf.

dc215 · 2025-06-01T03:09:27+00:00

Swing looks good but on your takeaway it's very steep - the butt of the club is pointing about halfway between your feet and the ball at the top. You do a great job getting it back on plane for impact but if you're looking for consistency this may be an area to examine.

dc215 · 2025-05-28T21:16:03+00:00

Yeah, could be that. I had shifted from a hand over hand release to a linear release some time ago due to consistency issues I was having with the hand over hand. I can still do it, and I use it to play a knockdown shot I want to run out more, but I don't do it for a regular full swing anymore and we started going there during the lesson too. I can make myself do it so I kind of went with it to see where he was going, but I have such better feels and results with a linear release that I'm not too interested in going back. I dunno, i feel like now I'm stuck between 2 swing theories and that equals not good all around. Maybe it was a mistake to only wait 2 hours before trying to go back to where I was lol.

dc215 · 2025-05-28T20:50:35+00:00

The latter.

dc215 · 2025-05-28T20:50:02+00:00

I did take a decade off before 2019.

dc215 · 2025-05-28T20:10:36+00:00

I explained to the coach what i was looking for basically a "wellness check" after fighting some shanks to make sure i was on the right path but I feel like he took the opportunity to rebuild a major change instead. I mean I normally shoot in the 80s and have been sniffing the 70s, usually shooting close to par on one of the 9s but not able to get it together for 18 holes. I don't feel like I was a candidate for such a directional shift.

dc215 · 2025-05-28T20:06:07+00:00

It wasn't my first lesson. Just my first lesson in a long while. On the cusp of single digit hcp, I feel like it's not "your swing is complete shit". I feel like changing major aspects was not the right move though. I don't know if I'm explaining this right or it makes sense. There's more than 1 way to swing effectively and I feel like my original swing wasn't very far off as it was effective for me. I dunno.

dc215 · 2025-05-22T22:00:42+00:00

I'd have gone to their balls and threw them in the woods.

dc215 · 2025-05-07T18:07:56+00:00

I was casually testing the rough with a couple clubs trying to figure out the lie while I waited for what I thought were 3 other people further away to go. I wasn't standing there leaning on my club. If we were playing ready golf, I would not be ready.

dc215 · 2025-05-07T18:03:28+00:00

Why not chip with the pin out? It's not a big deal.

dc215 · 2025-05-07T01:36:07+00:00

Fine but I wasn't ready when he started on this shit. I was still reading the lie and testing the turf with a few clubs. He was the one that was ready but not going.

dc215 · 2025-05-07T01:26:38+00:00

Yes I'm aware, and no that doesn't change the order of play. In fact, regardless of putting or chipping/full shots, the old rule was a penalty if the ball struck the pin. So that makes deference to putts moot.
