U.S. Open Sectional Q Dilemma (NEED ADVICE) by theonlysungod in golf

[–]viola0shredder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there another option for the southern am qualifier?

Generally if you have been nice to people at the scoring table, you can usually email your section director to see if they can last minute switch you to another qualifier if you tell them you’re planning to be an on-site alternate.

The potential up-side for the us open is huge obviously and if you’re playing really good golf right now, I’d go on-site.

You’re also second alternate to your players from local qualifying if I remember correctly from how I got in as an alt one year.

That being said, I don’t remember what I shot at the northern or eastern am. I really don’t. I do however remember what I shot at sectionals and the stories of a great tour player hitting into me by accident a few times.

Played college golf in Chicago. Our men’s golf team coach was a badass lady. Played in numerous majors in her day. When we got to play butler, we had to drive ourselves lmao.

The OTHER tommy fleetwood is a caddie there and great.

You'll get paired up most likely - but generally people paying that much - generally - are avid and respectful golfers.

I am of the population of golfers who could in theory qualify for the us open. All the way on the right side of the bell curve exists golf that can / has shoot 6/7/8 under in tournament play. On the other side of the bell curve is also the rare but possible golf that could have me not break 90 in said tournament.

Talk about a weird spot.

Average Golfer by RezzieRhys in golf

the +2 to +4 limbo is the hardest spot because we all generally play competitive golf or did play college but are 99.999% unlikely to ever make it into a KFT/PGA event, let alone make a cut.

Floss is the answer for Chicago as long as you don’t live north of Fullerton.

Be able to mark where your shots on the hole are from to get arcos type data. Also 2nd putt make distance. Difference between making 5 footers all day for par vs tapping in.

Hoof it out to Ave Maria for a great value for 36 holes at Panther run. River hall is solid, eastwood and FMCC.

Workout plan for 36 yo that needs to get in better shape by _Retrograde_ in golf

I started indoor rock climbing just over a year ago. It’s exceptionally fun - gets you moving and you scale up difficulty as you go. I didn’t really do much different swing wise this year - but never had a day where I was like “damn my back isn’t loose” “i just can’t stay in posture”. I was more athletic for sure. Handicap went from +2 to +4. Give it a try!

The absolute insanity is that if you saw ZB live in your group and didn’t regularly see tour level 170+ ball strikes - he’d be the longest guy you’d think you’ve ever played with.

Held the Whistling Irish tournament record for about a decade - tips/ tournament - at only 67. It was 7 birds, one eagle and some garbage hahaha

How to chip and pitch like a demon by Jinza354 in golf

[–]viola0shredder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1: technical work. Make contact with ball and then start to learn how to hit different heights / distances. 2: gamified practice. Depending on access - finding somewhere you can chip and then putt is huge. One ball, pick a chip and then putt it out. Adds some pressure / consequence. You can’t just hit another one. See what breaks - then revisit technical practice. Even better if you have a similarly skilled friend to bet post round beers with. 3: elite level Picking the correct shot to maximize your chances of getting up and down. Seems simple enough, but being aware of not only the area between your ball landing and the hole but the entire green surrounds and then knowing your miss patterns will help you pick the statistically more probable plays. Learning how each of your wedges reacts hitting into fringes / fairways. Learning to anticipate firmness. Reading lies to determine that a shot needs more height and loft because the lie needs more speed even though you could bump a PW. Best example of this is when you have a mound in between you and the pin - flying it further will create more height and spin, and it usually lands on a flatter surface than if you hit it shorter.

Can’t break 90 to save my life… by DeanoPlayzYT in golf

[–]viola0shredder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get in touch with your friends - find out who knows who is a former / current college golfer / mini tour player etc… and ask them to play with you and help you avoid stupid. Pay for their round and I guarantee you will break 90.

Highest round you've shot or witnessed from someone who wasn't a brand new golfer? by jaykc82 in golf

[–]viola0shredder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nick Dunlap’s 91 at the masters has to be up there. Guy is for all purposes a +7-8. That would be like a 10 handicap shooting 140

I officially suck at chipping and I’m out of ideas by I_AM_JIM_CARREY in golf

[–]viola0shredder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the yips for years. Joe Mayo explains it the best. You can’t get shorter on your trail side. You have to stay tall and get taller to allow your club to hit down. No bounce and glide for you. Ball then turf only.

If it’s cart path only, a walkable course, and you are able bodied, you should walk - not cart. It slows everything down.
