I had my swing analyzed. I need to shorten up my backswing as I am coming up out of my stance. Tried that....with left arm only horizontal on the backswing.....what a difference. I can shoot straight again!

I will try and remember to take photos of the other course we play. Wildwinds. It is really pretty and a tough, well maintained course. The greens are undulating and extremely fast.
 
I had my swing analyzed this winter on video too
I had a terrible slice so the video showed that I was comin from the outside plane into the inside plane - it really looked weird -

So the Pro showed me how to pull back my right shoulder during the swing so that I would stay on the same plane - and gone was the slice :)

Went down to south-east of france on vacation in the Vercors area
Vey nice mountain golf there with very often steep fairways and elevated greens or vice versa

What happened to Uri? Did he leave the forum again?

I am entered in my first stroke play match on Wednesday. Decided it was time to start getting in on these. Wish me luck guys. (and girls)
 
I just went out and custom ordered a Titleist 910 D2 Driver (the golfers on here will know what it is!) for this year....traded in my TM Burner for something more serious. I'm so excited to start the season now....been saving my dollars for this for months now after 'test driving' one back in December. It was pretty slick and so much more accurate for me. :clap:
 
Hi Wendy

So how is the Titleist driver ?

I recently changed my driver to a Callaway Diablo Octane which I like a lot

Just saw this now....LOL! I've been out playing so much I missed the post! The driver is wonderful. In fact I went out and got a 909f 15* and a 910f 19* to match. With the old Taylormades I couldn't get much height or distance as they are sooooo light but with the new clubs I can launch the ball. They just feel so much better. Next is to get fitted with AP1's but I need to save up for that! I'm keeping my TM hybrids and Ghost putter but the irons need an upgrade. Dropping my handicap so quickly has gotten me excited about fine tuning my equipment. After a lesson with our club pro he told me there's no reason that I shouldn't break 80 next season. Now I just have to keep trying!

Love that photo Uri! It's cold and desolate here now. Golf season is over until spring now. One of these days we may just get a game in. Hubby and I played in Prince Edward Island this year. There are some beautiful, but tough courses there! A few photos from The Links at Crowbush Cove and Glasgow Hills.

He he good to hear
I only break 90 every now and then - playing twice a week is not enough.
Fortunately enough we can still play here in France -
keep posting
 
Just came back from a golf sale. Picked up a newTitleist Vokey SM6 60* wedge for a very good price. :clap::clap::clap:
 
SO you did not have a lob wedge until now or is it a replacement ?

This is a replacement. I have an old Cobra lob wedge but want to upgrade. (I carry 4 wedges...P, G, S, L...and use them all) Since I want to go Titleist and the new club was less than half price (orig $149.99) and with the exact same specs as my old wedge how could I not get it? :D

Are you still playing over there? I'm really missing being out on the course.
