I suck @ golf (PIC) - GoFuckYourself.com

Brad Gosse · 05-16-2006, 11:42 AM

Actually I am getting better. Does this look like a good stance lol?

dynastoned · 05-16-2006, 11:44 AM

balance is key...

you must fade and top the ball a lot.

axelcat · 05-16-2006, 11:45 AM

I am getting good at it myself

p2p chad · 05-16-2006, 11:46 AM

Great stance! ...if you're a hockey player! LOL

ElvisManson · 05-16-2006, 11:47 AM

Is that Vince Vaughn?

my best friend is going to school for golf shit.. fucking genius at it.. i never liked it till i started to play with him, i suck as i don't play much and im left handed and hes right, and i used his clubs...

pussyluver · 05-16-2006, 12:03 PM

Took a class once. Just taught me all the things to do wrong! Game went down hill.

machinegunkelly · 05-16-2006, 12:06 PM

I can't even hit the fuckin ball !

CherryLipsRosa · 05-16-2006, 12:07 PM

i should learn how to play. All my friends do but i never got into it.

Sosa · 05-16-2006, 12:10 PM

tuck your shirt in next time!

Thomas1007 · 05-16-2006, 12:11 PM

go to the driving range and practice.
straighten your swing and balance.

Ecksent · 05-16-2006, 12:15 PM

Keep that left arm straight as possible.................

And your arms closer to your body...........

Keep your lower body planted. It's all about the rotation of your hips I found.

That was the problem I had. I used to swing it like a baseball bat and pivot my feet. Keep them planted and use your body weight as your friend. How do you think John Daly hits the ball a mile like he does....it's all about the love handles.....

Brad Gosse · 05-16-2006, 12:17 PM

Oh man I am loving this, keep the pro advice rolling.

Pro my ass. Shit I lost like 30 golf balls while I was in Florida last week. I played TPC Sawgrass though. I think I lost at least 12 on #17. That shit is harder than it looks on TV. DAAAAAMN!

My dad played a tourney there and got closest to the pin on #17

The prize? A new BMW Z4

He even got the Plate # TPC 17

Nice. It was pretty windy that day too, so I'm going to chalk it up to that.

Babagirls · 05-16-2006, 12:42 PM

looks like your hitting a baseball on the ground...with a golf club. lol

madawgz · 05-16-2006, 03:04 PM

you look like a pro

PaulB IYP · 05-16-2006, 03:11 PM

that is one terrible follow through

Brad, you can use that pic again in the "I suck @ dressing myself" thread.

During your backswing your weight has shifted to your left leg and your right leg is almost locked. This results in a reverse pivot. Although a common error, it is a bad thing. Also, your hips have rotated too far clockwise. This is a major power loss.

You are too far past parallel at the top of your backswing and the club face is closed. This is the result of your improper takeaway. You are using a baseball-bat style grip too, which will cause you to 'cast' the club on your downswing.

I will say something good about your swing in this photo. You started your downswing with your lower body. See how both knees are bent.

This is called 'casting'. You do not have the proper wristcock angle, again losing power in your swing. You have not transferred your weight to the left side as you started to in your downswing.

All in all your swing is not too far off from the average player. By that, I mean that all these improper swing mechanics are because you are trying to hit the ball hard to make it go far. Golf is a game of opposites (eg, hit down on the ball to get a high trajectory, etc.). Hitting the ball hard will come later after you learn how to swing the club.

I would suggest you take advantage of the 'may is the free pga golf lesson month'. You can find a pga instructor in your area from playgolfamerica.com. Its a ten-minute lesson, but it will give you enough info about the instructor to pick the one you want to come back to.

There are two types of lessons, depending on what your goal is. You can get the 'quick fix' lesson that will help you at least make descent contact with the ball. Or you can get the long term lessons that will help you shoot lower scores consistently.

You don't need many lessons. In fact, you could probably get by with three. Be sure to take a friend to help you remember all the info. That way when you forget it, and you will forget it, they can remind you what you should be doing.

Oh yeah, one more thing. You will need many many many buckets of range balls to practice what the instructor tells you.

Hope this helps.

Scott McD · 05-16-2006, 03:53 PM

I need to get back into playing golf again, especially with the summer approaching...

OY · 05-16-2006, 03:57 PM

First thing, keep your weight on your LEFT foot 60/40, head down, head cool and prey for some luck... then the game will come naturally......

I would Kill to Play Sawgrass. The island green at 17 must be intimidating.

MaddCaz · 05-16-2006, 04:01 PM

hehe I cant say shit cause I wouldnt know....

IF any of you guys are in Vancouver you should definately check out Furry Creek and here is the helicopter fly past of the holes. http://www.worldwidegolfguide.com/hg...rycreek14.html

HOOWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD???!!!

Freeglance · 05-16-2006, 06:21 PM

You are releasing the club way to early. Don't turn your lower body so much, mostly just shoulders. And try an over lap grip, or finger lock grip, power grips are strong but weak in consistancy.

Wiggles · 05-16-2006, 06:23 PM

takes alot of practice, and its alot of fun to do, keep at it.
