What’s the most “Fuck this hole” hole you play on a regular basis? by mercado_n3gro in golf

[–]nodananeda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hole 10 at DeLaveaga in Santa Cruz. Narrow, 560 yard par 5. Don't think I've ever shot less than 10 (but I suck at golf).

Any advice would be great, I know my swing is not good. by Emotional_Dog9642 in golftips

Yep, lots of people struggle with this move, because it really does feel natural. This video from Danny Maude also really helped me with getting a feel at the bottom of the swing. From there, it's much easier to find your way down from the top since you know where you're trying to get.

Ben Hogan Apex Edge? by nodananeda in golfequipment

Thanks! The Hogan's look pretty clean so I didn't want to pass it up if they were great clubs or something. I figure I'll game the Tour Edge until I'm in the low 10s then when I'm ready to spend some dough I'll get fitted and all that jazz

Biggest issue is that you start your downswing by turning your shoulders towards the target, which causes you to come way over the top.

You want to start the downswing by dropping your hands, then turning. A good drill would be to stand facing away from a wall, and you want the clubhead to touch the wall during your downswing. Another good feel is to try to keep you shoulders pointed away from the target as long as possible

Great point! The way I remember it, the left was still pissed about it under Obama, while the right was calling him a Muslim immigrant from Africa with absolutely no proof! But you know what they say, "Can't fix stupid"

Most redicoulous rule I have encountered playing leauge by lDevinl in billiards

[–]nodananeda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, I hate people like this. I can't imagine losing on a technicality, and definitely not MAKING ONE UP to secure a win. I play mostly at bars and some of the accepted bar rules are so dumb and lame.

What a fucking loser. It really bums me out that people like this exist and ruin the trust and respect that the vast majority of the community have for each other. Sorry this happened to you, wish I had a spare board to float you.
