OT: Golf Thread

Buy the Kirkland brand gloves from Costco. They are made from the Cabretta Leather like the other top of the line gloves and you can get a 4pack for $25. I've got probably 15 rounds in on my first one and it still looks brand new

But, do they come in black?

Apparently, they do not.

You answered your own question already...lol

But you can't beat them for the price

Do the make them for lefties?

That's awesome! What kind of work did you put in? What'd you do to increase swing speed?

So I have always been a fast swinger - I am naturally athletic and lifted quite a bit during my 20ies (34 now). At my peak I was very powerful

I have the body motion to swing fast, but never worked on sequencing. So I really started working on coming more from the inside and creating more lag and slowing my hands down -really trying to develop more of a draw.

I think they do, but I am not 100% sure

That makes sense. My back swing is so short, I don't think there's anything I can do to increase my swing speed

I go gloveless

I go gloveless

That's just stupid.

 

[Tripod]

That's just stupid.

Never felt comfortable wearing one. I will put one on if the hands get too sweaty

Plus...too much shit going on...tanking it off, putting it on

Putting it on is part of my pre shot routine. I don’t wear it at all times. Putting it in signifies it’s time to focus. At least that’s what I try to do.

I don’t like chipping with it, and do not putt with it.

Did I win yet?

 

[bennysflyers16]

I would say so, depending on the course.

My crew won our work tournament a couple of years ago with a -14, which was my highest team score ever.

The next year we played pretty terribly, but remarkably eagled 3 par 5s to shoot -10 and still won. That was a bit embarrassing; we had no business winning that day.

Covid has cancelled the last two tournaments.

its at 3 of us home course so we will be low.

Tournies are a lot diff now. Arrive 20 mins early and tee times off front and back with no meal after. But still booze and food holes so will be a blast

Just got back from the range. Been working on technique a lot lately. Check out the new personal bests.

The first image is highest swing speed and ball speed (180mph). I don’t know how accurate it is, it was on the 4i setting because I forgot to change it.

This one is best carry -306 yards.

I don’t even give a f*** - I know I am bragging but I put in a lot of work to get there.

Quite the swing speed !!! If shit myself.

But don’t get the name Bunty from being long.

What's the TV coverage like for this today?

It's on golf channel in a few minutes. I think peacock and us open app/website is also playing it. I don't know if it's behind a paywall, though.

Wolff leading - shut it down now!

Then shit the bed

Wolff leading - shut it down now!

5 pars, 2 doubles and finishes the day -1...impressive

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Lardf*** about to launch his fat ass onto the course.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I'd like to remake this Dead Kennedys cover

Spoiler: Language

... and call it "Too Fat to Putt."

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Oosthuizen early in his round, but my guys are struggling on day 1. Given that I have benefitted from hot starts, maybe this means they'll make a late charge and win something this time... provided any make the cut.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Suck it, Bryson.

 

[Cody Webster]

Meat stick really struggling

Nice on into 14

 

[Tripod]

what a great sports evening.

Golf, hockey, baseball, basketball

(with a 45 min break to watch The Kardashians)

 

[Cody Webster]

Moving the coverage to Peacock...gotta love it

 

[Cody Webster]

Why's DJ not getting any air time?

I guess the announcers had a sharp cutoff time? No announcers on peacock
