  1. The US has completely shit the bed. We're about to be embarrassed with a home loss in NYC at the heart of public golf.
  2. Trump showed up and the US still fucking sucks at Ryder Cup. US team is every man for themselves and Europe actually plays for each other. So emblematic of what we've become.
  3. 100% Canada. Our team blows.
  4. Why? B/c they're actually a decent court and that would be telling here? Or...?
  5. May as well. UEFA is threatening to ban Israel from matches, like it did Russia, so no WC for Israel. That happens, and the Euro teams will probably find themselves not getting visas granted. Sure would be something to have a WC and not have Europe there.
  6. Morning looks like 2-2, which is a shit ton better than I was thinking. Also... 7:10 in the morning east coast start time? Is there weather rolling in late?
  7. Not if the victims are children.
  8. Keep moving - shuffle feet, waggle, forward press, whatever - settle for a split second and pull the trigger. Don't give your mind time to think about form and just use your feels. On the putting green, work on form and do the drills. On the course, trust your stroke and pull the trigger.
  9. I get away with no divot b/c I have a naturally (for lack of better word) shallow swing plane. If your swing plane is more steep and you're not taking a divot, that would be tough to be consistent.
  10. Cu Chi tunnels just south of Ho Chi Minh are pretty damn cool, especially if you're a history/war buff.
  11. And you can compress irons w/o taking a divot as well. I do it all the time. No issues holding greens, 10k+ spin with full wedges, etc etc... The concern is not about taking a divot or not. The concern is about the trajectory of the club at impact. Irons need to be on a downward trajectory, driver upward. That's what is important, not the divot or lack there of.
  12. You are shockingly delusional and that's saying a lot for this place.
  13. Yup, that's good enough for a 7. Either you launch it high enough or spin it high enough to kill a shot in under 10 yards with a 7 on a sim - that's pretty much me too. I think in reality (just gut feel), we fly it further and stop it quicker but net result is the same. Doesn't sound like you need a ton more compression, certainly not as a dude just picking up the game. Golf is a process. Every single shot. Every single chip. Every single putt. And usually different processes for each. People who love golf love the process, IMO. No one is good at golf overnight but if you enjoy the process, you'll enjoy this game.
  14. I'm a serial picker, never take divots except for the odd ball shot here or there, to the point I have nicknames to the effect. I'm a groundskeepers best friend. The point of driving the club into the ground is to increase compression, which increases launch velocity and spin rate - more distance, softer landing... If you can control it. I still get plenty of distance and good enough spin to land 7i's softly by picking it - ~6k spin, 160 carry. My 9i goes ~140 so 120-135 out of your 9 is plenty fine, you don't need the distance really. How is your stopping distance with a 7?
  15. Kind of hard to both take a divot and shallow the club at the same time. Generally, one is the fix for the other - too shallow and you work on getting more into the ground, too much of a divot and you're too steep and you work on shallowing out the swing plane. Again, this guy sounds like hot garbage.
  16. Doesn't NY in general but I'm sure NYC specifically as well send more money to the federal government than it receives? So once again, he shoots himself in the foot with this suggestion?
  17. Much like most of their arguments, particularly from the more brainwashed segment (a la RollLeft), they have no substance, just quick hitters and outrage.
  18. Nice! Post pictures! Don't skimp on the hitting mat - that'll save you an elbow surgery down the line.
  19. I'd blame the instructor - he sounds awful. The best instructors work with what you have and make small adjustments towards some end goal. They don't start the next small adjustment until you've grooved the first one. Anything that's wholesale enough to inflict that much pain, that's bad coaching. Bad instructors have an ideal swing they try to fit everyone into. Good instructors try to fit you into YOUR ideal swing. Heal up, golf injuries turn chronic real fast if you're not careful.
  20. We've already hit that part of the aggy, I mean UT, roller coaster?
  21. You mean yet another attempt to demonize the left that will be shortly disproven, yet again? Ya, real shocker.
  22. Hey, I turned out fine. Ass hole.
  23. Get a walking bag you like with a removeable cover for the ball pocket and get the ball pocket embroidered. That's what I did with my Vessel bag - way cheaper than having Vessel do the embroidery and I could do whatever I wanted. I went with a longhorn outline plus my kids' initials, all in faded burnt orange stitch.
  24. Aren't you just a sanctimonious prick.
