    Michelle Wie

    I wanted to discuss Michelle's progress and lack of progress in her game. I have noticed her short game has actually gotten better, probably because it had to, because of the "suggestions" she has gotten in changing her swing. I think she MAY be the most talented(physically) golfer in the world...

    Being a newbie and a pretty good baseball player in my day, I have issues with overacceleration from the top of the swing.

    Set-up with the big dog.

    I've been experimenting alot lately with set-up with the driver. My stock pattern is a NHAish upright swing. I have found that if I feel like I lower my hands at address this helps me alot, I do this on long bunker shots as well. I know why it helps me(flatter swing, can hit up on it more...

    Debate Question: Is Tiger better now, or was he better in 2000-2001?

    Just wondering if we could start a debate on this topic. I bring this up cause I have a strong feeling that Eldrick is going to go on a crazy major run in the next 3 years, so I thought I'd bring it up now before he goes nuts. Me...I'd take Tiger now over the Tiger then, even though the stats...

    Green Reading troubles?

    Im terrible at seeing break and reading greens. I'll get on the green and have almost no clue where it is going to break. I look for the spot on the green that looks like the water will run off and I see it on some steeper sloped greens, but on others I don't see it at all. I have zero...

    Short game practice??

    After seeing Brian he convinced me, rather convincingly,:pthat the way to really score and play well is through your short game. I knew this already, but I didn't really know how good the guys on TOUR are compared to a really good amateur/club champion/the guy that you think has a great short...

    Broke 100 today..shot 97.

    Don't worry I won't go into too much detail, and I will only get excited whenever I break 90 next. What changed today from the other day...more carry and swing down the yellow brick road baby. I could have scored better, but I hit the ball so well on the front that I got a little too cocky and...

The course I played was 6400 yards and pretty "wide open" a friend of mine said. Man, I have alot of work to do. Thought Id just tell you guys...

    Question about Pushes and Pulls and how to stop the madness!!

    Today was an unseasonably beautiful day today in land of Jack, so I went out to beat on balls a little. I did not bring a camera. I started warming up with the wedge and hit that well, then I went up the bag and once I got to the 6543 irons things started to go bad. I alternated between pulling...

    The Ground and how to use it to hit the ball hard??

    Recently on another thread I showed my lack of knowledge and ability to not think before punching a keyboard...I apologize. So, now I learned that I need to take a step back and keep my mouth shut and just read and learn and ask questions and not give much opinion..Okay Im chill. Here is my...
