Golf is fun but I don’t fret about being the shits.

I do have one thing in my pocket that I guarantee not many of you do have, and that’s a hole in one. It wasn’t an intentional hole-in-one, but a hole in one it was.

I was playing a par three at the local links, shanked my tee shot, watched it flying towards the trees where it hit a stump. It was cut low to the ground and rocketed perfectly without a bounce straight across the green after it landed right into the hole.

Players on the adjacent green we’re expecting free drinks. I told them to fuck off.

My wife pisses me off. Over the years, I bought her 2 real nice set of clubs so she could start going with me. She's gone once!!! She keeps saying she wants me to work on her swing in our backyard and doesn't want to go to the range until her swing improves. Da Fuq??

Same, nice clubs but I think she was mostly in it for the cute skirts. Cripes.

After reading @foster4prez stats with his new irons, I should quit golf....however

Had another lesson yesterday, green lights on all the things we've introduced into my swing and now I'm working on an inside to out swing path.

My problem with that, is now that I have more forward lean (they call it shoulder tilt, I call it hip bend) at address, the ball is really far away and I'm hitting it off the toe. I'm going to play a few holes today and move the ball closer...if I can without standing too upright.

Doesn't matter how far you hit it if it doesn't go straight. :laugh3:

and another lesson is in the books.

Yesterday we worked on holding my wrist hinge until the club is parallel to the ground and my hands are in the middle of my trail thigh.

That is really uncomfortable and very hard to do. The couple of times I did it right, my sand wedge (54 deg) went over 110 yards. That's about 30 yards further than I usually hit it.

Went to the course after the lesson to work on it. On the second hole, side hill lie, I forgot the other part of my downswing...turn...and buried the club into the turf. Now my lead wrist hurts like a MFer.

Anyone have a tip on how to hold that hinge easier?
