The Piper posted:I'm pretty sure Allenby just got into a drunken argument with some homeless, got beaten up and then they took his wallet. Why he would make up the whole kidnapping story is beyond me. Claiming the FBI was investigating it is even more baffling. Anybody that plays on the PGA tour should be able to get out of this lie. There's a couple theories about this but they've already figured out a hole in one of them. Wah wah waaaaaaaaaah

Josh Lyman posted:Apparently that was a dead tooth. Which raises the question, why didn't he have it replaced all this time? Regarding my new 915 woods, I did hit one drive on an uphill par 5 that left me 50 yards closer to the hole than I usually am on a good shot. That's promising. I also ended up increasing the loft - previously tuned down to 7.75*, I put it back to the stock 8.5*. I didn't get to hit the fairway woods much, but they do seem a touch longer than the 913s.

I went to Scottsdale recently and played some golf there at three different courses. You couldn't walk any of them (one would have been very practical to walk but it was Not Allowed). What's up with the dudes in polo shirts that go up to your bag and start wiping down your clubs when you bring the cart in? I'm glad I'm back in California, played Cinnabar Mountain/Canyon today.

http://deadspin.com/witness-robert-allenby-hurt-himself-after-a-trip-to-th-1681127848quote:Two homeless people who came into contact with Allenby that night have already disputed major details in his story. Now a third, Chris Khamis, is claiming that Allenby's facial injuries were not the result of a beating, but of Allenby drunkenly passing out and bashing his own face on a lava rock. Moments earlier, Allenby apparently told Khamis that he had just come from a strip club, where he had been hoping to "get some action," and believed that he had been drugged. This is my favorite golf-related story in years

He is going to get abused at this years President's Cup. What a grade A douche. I would be entirely sympathetic if he said "Well, I played bad in a tournament, went to go have a few drinks, and I either drank too much or I drank alot and or possibly got drugged. But I fell face first into some lava rocks and this is the result. Kid's don't do this". But to make up this story? THAT is what makes him a grade A douche.

You know you're a golf addict when you don't dream about playing golf, you dream about equipment. I woke up this morning and realized it was actually a dream that I went to a store, looking for a Diamana Blue to test on a launch monitor to see whether I needed more spin with my driver.

Lyman, What shaft do you have now? It is time for me to re-load my bag with Taylor Made equipment but we don't have a fitting cart at my course. Hopefully the fitting shaft charts treat me well. I am gonna miss my R9 TP B stamps.

Just say no to fitting charts. Drop the extra $100 or whatever to get a fitting done. Also, I hit the TM MC irons and thought they were terrible, but I heard the drivers and woods are supposed to be great. Josh Lyman, what are your trackman stats? I find it hard to believe you'd need more spin given your swing speed.

Anyone going to the Waste Management? I went two years ago on Saturday and it was a mad house, can't imagine what it will be like this year. I think I'm gonna go early on Saturday again--try to watch some golf early on in the day and then just join the party.

I know people are gonna hate me for asking this and tell me to get an instructor, and I plan to, but during these cold winter months I want a good book to explain the concepts behind a solid, repeatable golf swing. What are the best ones? Some poking around, mostly on GolfWRX, has led me to these: Impact Zone Swing For Life Ben Hogan's Five Lessons Golf My Way Best Instruction Book Ever Swing Like a Pro Swing Machine Golf (Paul Wilson) 8 Step Swing The Swing Factory The Plane Truth (Jim Hardy) Summit fucked around with this message at 21:36 on Jan 29, 2015 |

I enjoyed Hogan's Five Lessons, it's a good read and using a professional's swing as inspiration for your own is never a bad idea. But yes, take lessons. Your instructor can fix in five minutes what would otherwise take you two hours of reading and two months of swinging to fix. It's not exactly a "repeatable swing book", but I also really liked Harvey Penick's Little Red Book.

I went on Saturday in 2008, the last time the Superbowl was in town, and it was insane there. Attendance today was 118K, which is at least 30K more than the previous attendance record there, so yeah, it's loving nuts for a golf tournament.

You know, I really shouldn't/can't complain about being able to golf right now, but the "winter" rates that courses are charging right now are outrageous. Courses that I can play April-November for $15-25 are upwards of $50-70 right now. Stupid snowbirds!

Wish I could, I grew up on that course when I was a kid (mostly played the Champions/Desert course next door). I always like to hang out left of #1 green where the players walked off in the mornings. Back in the day got a golf ball from Tommy Armour III.

It is really strange and sad drat, I kept coming back to Knoblauch when thinking about this. It's amazing how world-class athletes that have been performing a task at an elite level for literally 95% of their life can suddenly become completely unable to do it. I think it's worse in golf because the ball just sits there taunting you and everything is very quiet while everyone waits for you to gently caress the monkey again. Edit: Knoblauch is a good comparison, because he could jump up and make the throw to first if he had fielded a grounder running to his right, for example. But when he had a short throw from a standstill and no pressure to hurry, he would heave it into the stands. As a fellow human being it's kind of disconcerting. mdemone fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Jan 30, 2015 |

It is really strange and sad jarrod saltalamacchia former red sox catcher had this same issue where he just forgot how to throw the ball back to the pitcher. That's a great example of what's going on though. It was completely a mental issue and took him a while to get over it.

They explained his chunked chips the last time he played in a tournament (Hero World Challenge?). In trying to ingrain his swing changes, it's trickled down to his chipping motion, and it's very easy to chunk the ball at this stage. He'll work through it, but it is definitely disturbing to see.

this is an adaptation from Patrick Reed's upcoming book and it's really worth a read.quote:Two of Patrick's dominant personality traits emerged early, and both worried his parents, Bill and Jeannette. The first was his incredible capacity for rage. He expected so much of himself that when he went into a slump, he'd transform into a sullen powder keg of frustration and anger, to the point that his parents wondered whether or not he was truly enjoying the sport. Reed always told them he was, but his emotional explosions painted a different picture. hahahaha i love that

Muscle memory is a bitch. You just know Tiger is seething, especially because his short game has always been so immaculate. I would already have snapped my wedge and chucked the pieces into the lake. On the positive side, he was lag-putting really well yesterday -- which is good because his chips were leaving him with 70-footers for birdie or par! Edit: Maybe he actually ought to break a club. Just needs to do something to bust himself out of whatever mental shitstorm he's in.

Missed quite a few birdie chances. Need to get down under 30putts - I'm always around 32 or 33. Also tried my friends new R1 driver. Really impressed with it and may snag if from him for $175 (he doesn't like it much). It's also in black which looks real nice.

Got out before the game yesterday to a course I hadn't played in almost 3 years. Course wasn't in $35 condition when it's normally under $20 during the summer, but I'll take it! It's a pretty open course with not much trouble so as long as you can keep it not too far off the fairway you'll have a good second shot. Missed a couple of make-able longish birdie putts, greens weren't in the best of condition but at least they were rolling mostly straight. Goal this year is to shoot 72, couple more made putts here and there and I think I'm on track to do it.
