Fucking 49 at stone tonight fuck

Well +11 would be a great 9 for me

At the rate you’re actually playing golf, you’ll be breaking 90 in no time. Have you taken any lessons?

No, I probably should

 

[HCFord1]

No, I probably should

Even taking like three lessons can make a huge difference

Used to go there when they played The International there. Beautiful course. I’m glad they grew the rough long, otherwise they would tear the course apart. Greens also look lightening quick!

I shot my worst round in league in 5+ years. Had to happen in the playoffs. I hate this game

We won our Calcutta tourney recently. So that was nice.

I have 11 rounds scheduled between tomorrow and October 1st. More golf than I played all year. Unfortunately 3 of those rounds are at Cockeye’s home course.

Finkbine? Heard it's real good.

It’s a really good course once you get past the black and gold. Very hard and fast greens.

It’s fantastic. Played in the Barstool Classic there last year. Greens were so fucking fast.

Ya, that sucks. Like OU’s course. It’s really, really good, but you’re blinded by sooner nonsense.

Anyone feel free to respond, but I’m curious: Why are fast greens important to the average golfer?

To me fast greens are just a hell of a lot more fun. I'm also a "die it in the hole" putter and don't like to hit puts hard.

Funny related story. I was playing as a guest down at Silverleaf a while back (nicer course down in Scottsdale. Lando Norris and the owner of McLaren were in front of us) and the greens were fast and firm, running about a 12. I was talking to superintendent about how good the greens were and he told me I should've been here a couple months earlier when they were running at 14. I ask him why in the world did you have them that fast? His response, "we had to get our members ready for the Masters."

Fast greens in general will roll more true as opposed to slow greens. Generally, once you get your ball on line on a smooth and fast green, it will hold its line compared to a slow green.

Exactly this. Much much preferable to slow, shaggy greens IMO...acclimate to the pace needed and commit to your line, a lot easier to develop some consistency and get into a good rhythm.

Went and did lessons with Shane Zywiec today at Highlands. Holy shit my swing is ass

 

[Dell Husker]

What did he say

He said he’s done thousands of lessons over the last 5 years and I have the most open swing he has seen during that period
