Are you saying you like them or that you like sunglasses in general?
Oh ok.Zomp said:Both, but they have to be specific golf sunglasses that are not polarized. I haven't played a round with the oakleys yet, just hit balls at the range but so far so good.
You mean more vertical right. The inside/outside hurts my headSouthernBoSox said:Looks like you are coming way outside on your back swing.
Try to get that inside more, and you'll need to really focus on it if you standing closer to the ball now.
Athletic move though.
I think, especially for the weekend golfer (or potential weekend golfer), difficulty isn't the biggest deterrent. I think time and cost are the 2 largest. That makes the 15 inch hole proposal kind of pointless as it won't really shave much time off of a round.FL4WL3SS said:
I'm not a fan of bifurcation of the game (meaning a different set of rules for pros and amateurs), but it may be necessary to grow the game and make it more accessible to the average golfer. With all of the restrictions on clubs and balls, it hurts the average golfer and stunts their growth. If the USGA and R&A relaxed the rules for club allowances for the weekend golfer, you'd see a lot more people enjoy the game.
Isn't this already basically the case anyway? The pros never lose a ball because they have crowds and caddies and forecaddies and marshals who put flags by the ball. They never wonder what the condition of the bunker is because it's always the same condition. They have caddies for every round who know every inch of the course. It's already a different game so the rules should be adjusted outside of tournament play so why not make some practical changes to the rules and to etiquette.FL4WL3SS said:I'm not a fan of bifurcation of the game (meaning a different set of rules for pros and amateurs), but it may be necessary to grow the game and make it more accessible to the average golfer.

1) No more stroke and distance. Take lateral relief from everywhere. Looking for your ball is by far the part of the game that slows things down the most.
2) Double par limit on every hole. If you reach 6 on a par 3 you're done. What's the point of a 12 on any hole?
3) Once you start putting you keep going until you're done. Honors is old and stupid.
4) Ditto on the tee. Just hit the fucking ball, Who cares what anyone else did on the hole before you.
5) You can ground your club at any time and you can test the bunker. When was the last time you saw the best players in the world hit from a footprint? Never? So why do I have to?
Nothing. Nothing pisses me off more than someone taking 60 seconds to read a putt only to have see them have a hack stroke where their line had literally nothing to do with the result.jercra said:Isn't this already basically the case anyway?

Papelbon's Poutine said:Nike's Method line has options on the toe hang that are labeled right in the model number. MOD 30/60/90. 60 degree toe hang you're probably looking at a traditional heel shafted blade model, like an Anser.
I actually have a fat grip. Im not usually that bad around the green but yest was a nightmareSouthernBoSox said:My first piece of advice would be go to a golf store and start experimenting with fat putter grips.
Find one you like and get it. There is a reason pros use them. They dramatically decrease your hands, which really helps with putts inside 15 feet.
phragle said:Does anyone know if the changeable weights on the bottom of putters can affect toe hang? Probably, right? I don't know why there isn't a spreadsheet that has the specs for every golf club. I think that would be helpful for the fitting process.
I think I'm gonna find a used Ping O-blade and - if it's heavy enough - throw a super stroke on it.
These companies and their $300 putters. I checked them out but it looks like the MOD 60 has offset. Pap, I went up your guy in Manchester. It was very helpful, and I'm going back soon. The putter fitting wasn't worth $75, but otherwise I was happy.
Really depends.phragle said:Do you guys make adjustments - like trying to keep the ball lower - when it's windy?
Absolutely, but it really depends on the skill of the player. Lower handicaps should be able to play a knockdown or trap draw without much of an issue. It's not a particularly difficult shot and is incredibly useful if you ever play on the coast or in a generally windy place like Hawaii or the Mountain West. Club select adjustments are just as important in the wind though. I'll often hit 3 wood off the tee in the wind because it flies lower and is easier to draw than driver. I'll also go 1 club up and then hit a knockdown because it's easier to hit a knockdown or trap with an easier swing.phragle said:Do you guys make adjustments - like trying to keep the ball lower - when it's windy?
