Saturday night - March 16th - Frisco In-N-Out

Went to the driving range and dinner with an old friend instead. Didnt want to feel out of place in a parking lot full of Fords.

You should go play an actual course so that when you spend all that time in the sandtraps you would have a good exuse for all that sand in your vagina.

I havent played often (been 5 years since I swung a club at Top Golf), but Id say Ive been in maybe 10 traps in my life, and that's only because I hit the ball too far and didnt know they were there.

My problem is pitching it a short distance, I either hit it too soft and it goes 20 feet or too hard and it flies over the green. That is the main thing I am working on currently.

Btw I played Iron Horse last Friday and yesterday... so I guess I dont have any sand excuses.

That comes with consistant practice. The problem most hobby golfers have is the lack of consistancy in their swing lacking the basic mechanics. It's the same thing with bowlers too. Constantly always blaming something other than the basics and it almost always comes back to the timing in the swing.

Nope, mine is just practice... Cant be good at something you do twice a decade. My swing is consistent for the most part, my problem is all in finesse... I like to hit the ball far, not good at the 20 yard stuff. I am looking for a lob wedge now which will allow me to basically kill the ball with my normal swing, and have it go almost straight up and stop on the green like a piece of hail hitting the ground (or spin back a few feet). My irons are old and shitty and my pitching wedge is like a 45% angle so being able to get the ball to stop from a short distance is pro level difficult. I have had much better success using my dad's clubs for the short distance stuff, but they are in Idaho now and not easily accessible.
