Okay, here is a place for the Golfers to talk about tournaments, clubs, swing help or thoughts.
Today is the Players Championship, which I think ought to be the 5th Major. Largest pot in the PGA. The daunting 17th, which seems to bring excitement every year. At least we will get to see Sergio blow up yet again.
Thought I'd share for the stat guys out there. Found this spreadsheet for tracking last week, just in time to go out and throw up a 95 for the initial round.

Dude has one of the most unique swings. He lines up every shot on the hosel. Gives me the heebies just thinking about it. [Reply]
I need a regular game. I could join the league at Deer Lake here in Spfd but they play the white tees. I like to play the blues. When I played Hickory Hills the other day since my dad plays the yellows I played the blues instead of the whites. I'm proud to say that at 51 working on 52 years old it didn't even seem long.
Seriously if any of the Spfdians read this and need or have a game I'm up for it. I'm a member at Deer Lake but I'd love to have a game at River Cutt or where ever. Hidden Valley. Honey Creek? I'd drive to Branson Creek......I'd be your guest at your C.C. and we'd win your member guest. Hell yeah we would! [Reply]

Yeah he does line it up on the hosel. Start there and then try and hit it on the toe. A cure for the ..........I won't say it. [Reply]

I'm a member at The Cassville Golf Club. If your ever down this way let me know. [Reply]

Short version....I am in very much in debt to Hamas Jenkins. Much reps shall be his, unless he prefers a bottle of some spirits which I would gladly send, or numerous beers should we meet in person one fine day.
Apologies in advance...longish version
Hadn't been able to get out and try this until last night for men's league...(3-man 9 hole scramble), but there is no way in the world it seems like it should have had that much of a difference. We had one in fair shape off of 1, so I thought, try it and just whack the hell out of it and see where it ends up.....BAM.....LONG and straight down the middle....tried it again on #2, again, LONG and in the middle, #3 par 3, #4 SWEET, #5 right side of the fairway, but I lined up that way just to see, #6 CRUSHED, #7 par 3, #s 8 and 9 my playing partners literally said, there's no reason for us to hit.
I don't know, this could possibly be a one-day fix but I'm super excited to get back out and try it again this afternoon. [Reply]

My son and I just joined our 1st country club eva! We're really enjoying it. I've never been better than a 14 handicap and right now I'm about a 20. We joined for him (10 handicap) but I'm having fun too. They have multiple weekly games going on. I just won the Tuesday night skins game - even though I was about the worst golfer there. ha! I told my son that this was real golf - match play. That and getting hot at the right time. [Reply]

No problem. It's not a long-term solution. Hopefully, it just helps you feel what an inside path on the downswing feels like.
Golf is a series of adjustments and adjustments to the adjustments. Trying to find the center, never really getting there completely.
Finally think I'm going to get back into golf this year after two years of very little play. Picking up the sticks this afternoon for the first time in nearly a year.
