A few comments on this video,, - May have to work on his grip - Parents probably will have a much larger basement in ~20 years (the baby is supposedly only 17 mos old)

From my Dilbert calendar for today..

The issue of over-rotation was discussed on a previous thread as well as on Michael's site when discussing the Golf MTRx iPhone app. The apparent consensus is that over-rotation is a common fault of most amateur golfers. I have Golf Mtrx. My numbers typically range from mid- to upper-40*, with...

Now that Winter has really started to set tin for those of us in the North, a year-end/year-beginning question arises – Play as much as possible or as best as possible?<O:p</O:p <O:p</O:p One of the reasons I ask is – I just returned from Orlando where I played 7 of 8 days. (Missing Thanksgiving...

Tremendous added benefit from taking a lesson from BManz in Philadelphia on Tuesday. I went to Dinner with a very close friend that evening and learned he is getting married in mid-August... in the Napa Valley area. Of course, that means I MUST make the trek to Bandon Dunes. Not sure if I'll go...

This is a new one. Seems as though I've started hooking my hybrids (3H and 4H). These are my 'go-to' clubs, especially when I'm in +/- 3W/5W range. I'd rather lay it in front than spray a 3W who-knows-where. My normal ball flight is a draw.. I'm not good enough or smart enough to try a fade...

I have struggled to correct a swing that is too 'around'. It seems as every piece of my body moves at the same speed.. shoulders, gut, hips, you name it. I seemingly cannot get separation. I was getting better last Fall (Thanks to Brian after my Sept lesson in Pittsburgh!). It's not as bad as...

Brian or Mods, please feel to delete if you desire.... Very, very OT from golf instruction, but... Let's have some fun! Any interest in having a March Madness challenge for those of us here using ESPN? Here are my thoughts.. 1. I created a Group called Manzella. (Search for "Manzella".) 2...

On Friday, I have to undergo what is (essentially) an emergency cervical spine operation. What I thought was 'just a stiff neck when awakening' ~10 days ago is much more serious. Severe compression, replacement at C4/C5 and C5/C6, herniated disk, inability to move right arm up much. Wow... no...

I have a Canon ZR950 MiniDV Camcorder. I *think* it records at 30 fps and can record onto miniDV Cassette or SDHC memory card. I can adjust the shutter speed from 1/60 (the base; most ordinary conditions) to 1/100 (indoor sports scenes), 1/250, 1/500, or 1/1000. Do I need to worry about...

I had the pleasure and honor of taking a lesson from Brian when he visited Pittsburgh in late September. His input and instruction was superb, to say the least. Reducing dynamic loft by ~8º in a very short time was incredible. My ball-striking and scoring has improved significantly over the past...

Hope this meets criteria for posting here... Thanks to this site and Kevin, I've improved over the past year. Still can't shake those 3-5 really bad holes a round, though... especially in tournament play. Most posts here focus on the full swing.. we can work on that until the sun sets.. Most...

Just got back from a trip to Scotland and Ireland; went as a Single, played 9 courses in 9 days and had a blast. The highlight? Playing the Old Course 2 days in a row. Went off in 2nd group the 1st day (6:40am) and 8th group the 2nd day (7:30am). Two great caddies, Phil and Willie. Courses in...

Should one have different backswing swings (relatively speaking) for a shorter club than a longer club, say, an 8-iron vs. a Driver? I've been struggling with my longer clubs lately, especially since I've tried to speed up my backswing and overall tempo. I felt I was being toooo slow and...

Less than a month to go and I'm winging across the pond for a nearly 2-week golf vacation as a single :cool:... Does anyone know if there are any outfits that rent electric carts in: 1. St. Andrews 2. Ireland I may not always be able to get a caddy (availability)... (and Kevin can't go). I...

As a newcomer to this site, I'm often confused as to certain terminology.. abbreviations are a major confusion.. you see, I'm not the brightest bulb on the chandelier. For example, what the heck is BRW? FLW? D-plane? etc? Maybe a "Manzella for Dummies" sticky with...

Facts: (1) Ball is lying in heavy fescue on left-hand side of fairway ~less than 2' from rough. [Actually, *buried* beneath matted-down fescue.] (2) Right-handed golfer. [That would be me. :cool:] (3) Player knows he can declare unplayable lie any where, any time. 1 of the 3 relief options (line...
