If what you say is true, I commend you.

all true, my partner told him at least 3 times that he could play thru (after the incident) and i told him and the dick every time that it wasn't happening. i eventually relented at the 11th, then watched him run 3 holes ahead of us in no time.

i was going to wait at the 4th tee and let him pass until he hit the ball at me, he looked in a hurry.

wtf, someone hit towards the green on a par 3 while you were on the green? am I reading this right?

I'd beat him unconscious with my putter then take his ball and shove it up his ass.

mmmm, maybe golf isn't for you...i'd give MMA a try tough guy.

Best to let him through. If you still have pent up rage after round key his car. But seriously, you'll just ruin your round if you let it bother you. Let it go.... Cal;l a marshal let him deal with it and let it go.

Hey guys:

Since I've been pretty active in this forum and grown fairly close to some of you in here, I just wanted to announce that my company launched a new fantasy sports venture yesterday. It's a Daily Fantasy Sports website that is 100% legal in the US/Canada.

You can find more details at DraftDay.com.

Anyways, I'm working on the addition of golf to the site for the 2012 PGA Tour season, and I'd really value anyone's input who may have some. I'm pretty familiar with Fantasy Golf, but I know some of you die-hards are obsessed too!

PM me if you would like to throw me a few ideas .

Thanks for reading,
Alex Huang

Golfers who get impatient just because they have delays get on my nerves. Nobody owes them a 2 or 3 hour round just because they are an experienced golfer or they want to beat out a quick 90 and not get in trouble with their wife for playing on a weeknight. This seems to be a big problem on slower courses (people get spoiled when they have an open course a lot). Everyone knows golf can take up to four hours on average and should expect that. Anything faster is a bonus.

As for the guy that hit while you are on the green, endangering someone is not a joke. Hit it back.

hello,

sorry for bad quality and wrong angle. but is this what one would consider a reverse pivot?

I dont think killing him is acceptable. I dont have any judicial rulings to prove my thought though.

I would either hit his ball into the nearest lake, or if it is a good ball I'd pick it up yell "thanks for the ball that was nice of you" and put it into my bag.

How many people hit bump and runs from 30-60 yards out?

Assuming you are in the fairway and there is nothing but fairway between you & green.

I was at the driving range last night hitting lob wedge from 40 yards, range has a really nice short game area that has a pitching areay w/ ~50 yards worth of fairway and a green. I was getting my lob wedge with in 15-20 feet. For ****s and giggles I took out a 9i and landded it about 1/2 way to the green. I hit 10 straight inside 5'. This is never a shot I have practiced or done much of but to me it just seemed so much easier.

Thinking about implamenting it into my game. Just curious about other peoples thoughts.

Oh and this is not me...

Depends on the position of the pin. If green is sloped back to front and in the back third of green, I love hitting the little bump and runner.

No, a reverse pivot is when the weight moves toward the target in the backswing then away from the target in the downswing.

Might be taking next Friday off to tick one more premier course off my bucket list before the season ends. Cobble Beach golf links in Owen Sound Ontario. It's ranked 30 something in the best courses in the country and it is apparently one of the most scenic as it's right on a huge lake and has lots of sweet vistas. Picture review to follow for sure!

I have been working on a similar shot with my irons kind of like a 9 to 3. Take it back to 9 and finish wherever (not 3 exactly). I can pitch pretty easy doing this and just letting the clubface do the work. Also lets say I hit an 8I 140ish normally, if I take the club back to 9 and come down nice and square/flush and hit it minus say only 10 or 15 yards so about 120-125 easy. I dare you to try this at the range. These shots are so much better than straining to hit clubs. I can hit an easy 9 to 3 9IRON to about 100 yards everytime with my current clubs.

Im talking about bumping it and running it through the fairway, like landing it 10-20 yards short of the green and rolling it up onto the green.

So it should work even if the pin is in front (like was the case at the range when I was practicing).

I don't think I've ever done that from 40 yards out.

I'd feel dirty and feel like I should be playing the senior tees :P

I agree but it worked so well on the practice range. It was almost like cheating compared to hitting a lob wedge.

Isn't there some saying to the effect of "keep it low every time you can" The idea being there is less that can go wrong with a bump and run.

yes i know. isnt the weight shifted towards the target on the top of the backswing? end of follow through seems okay though.

I'm an advocate of a centered pivot where the weight is constantly moving toward the target. I think 55 target foot/45 at setup, 60/40ish at top, and 80/20 at impact is pretty close to ideal for a lot of players stock swing.

So while I don't think you fit that model, I don't think you reverse pivot.

So a couple of my buddies and I like to play tiger for $$. When playings skins there are scenarios where it is beneficial to purposely miss a shot so the guy with the least skins can win and prevent a big build up in skins that could allow the 2nd place guy to win. Since we are very cut throat when we gamble vs each other this is not only fine it is expected. My question is would this be considered bad form/etiquette in real life? Would the answer vary depending on the level of friendship/willingness to gamble etc? Would you be mad if someone did this to you?

My gut says no.

If you introduce another game to golf. The game you are playing is no longer golf. You are using golf to play the new game. Your goal in the new game is to win, if you give yourself a better chance to win the game as a whole by losing in the short term then by all means you should do it.

That being said I dont get the game you are playing can you describe it breifly so I can understand it better? Sounds like it could be fun.

Which leads to the next question. If the 2 guys who are trailing realize what the leader is going to do, it is then in their best interest to make sure to tie(in some scenarios where one guy winning would take both of them out of it). Which turns it into some borderline collusion I guess, which imo isn't the coolest thing but is probably the best strategic adjustment to make. So where is the line drawn between being smart/ and being a douche if this were on real grass. My friends and I don't mind all this when playing tiger but I kinda think this would be viewed as scummy by most people.... whatya think?

I dont get the game.

Can you describe it?

I'd google it but I have a feeling I'll never find out what you are talking about if I google "tiger golf game"

I could see if it were impacting other golfers, like 2 of you kept purposly missing puts so that you tie or lose; while the group behind you stands in the fairway waiting to hit into the green.

Then I would argue that something is wrong. But I stand by my first statement as long as it isn't effecting anyone else.

Yea I def agree that it is a new game and the only objective is to win. I think most poker players would say obv you adjust depending on the objective of the game and that tanking a hole is fine. I guess I'm just wondering if my competitiveness would be viewed as kinda slimy, I'll do anything for a buck, behavior to non gamblers.

Just regular old 3 way skins on tiger woods 12 *the video game
