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.
The Eisenhower tree was removed yesterday due to the ice storms in the southeast. Major bummer.
Regarding Cheyenne Woods: her swing is a mixture of a one and two plane swing. She takes the club back a bit under plane about half way back, then lifts it almost straight up at the end of the backswing. A good transition allows her to re-route the club on plane and a slight inside path on the way down, and she finishes in perfect balance. [Reply]

Where did you play?
I've played the Gold Course at Wailea Golf Club and the Plantation Course at Kapalua in November 2001. Spectacular! [Reply]
Completely changed my putting at the end of the season. Feel was amazing. For those of you that flyfish, think about the feel/sensitivity the cork provides. It's expensive, but my putting has improved dramatically. [Reply]

Deer Lakes not to bad, certainly not C.C. but at one point in it's life it was pretty good for a public course. These days they are operating on a shoe string budget. Of course standing there in Hawaii I would imagine most courses on the mainland seems like goat ranches. [Reply]

And ice storm can devastate a golf course. Losing such a piece of history makes it even worse though. [Reply]
Looks like I have to get my boy a new set of clubs, since he's outgrown his Callaways. Can you guys recommend a good set? He's kind of throttled back his love for golf, unfortunately. [Reply]

If he's playing with a full set of men's clubs it's impossible to truly outgrow them. Just put new shafts in them if the clubhead works well.
Regarding recommendations: that depends entirely upon relative skill level: both how straight and how far he hits the ball, and his age and size. [Reply]

He isn't. He's had a set of Callaway Juniors for a few years.
He's about 5'3" and 12 years old. He hits very straight (fucker) and can get about 220 with his driver. [Reply]
Take him in for a dynamic fitting. Otherwise, it's just guesswork. Avoid player's irons for now like Mizuno or Titleist, and ask around for good fitters in your area that have outdoor ranges so they aren't trying to fit him based solely upon Trackman numbers or a net. [Reply]

Great, I'll do that. Thanks for the suggestion. [Reply]
