My new Wilson lob wedge

I paid 17 times more for my new Titleist Vokey SM6 wedges than my Wilson lob wedge. I'm no expert, but I don't think they play 17 times better. In fact, I don't think they play any better at all. I hit as many crappy shots with the new Vokey…

Used a golf pitch fork for the first time – ever

No, I have hit greens before, but I never had to use the pitch fork because my balls never made a pitch mark on the green. The greens at our golf club are really dry. Plus they are in Sydney, so we don't see that much rain here. Today, however…

Great round of golf to welcome new year

The golf course was completely abandoned today. I thought it was closed, but apparently open, just not popular on January 1st. I spent some time at the nets to practice the "lifting of the head" fix. It worked to some degree, but I'm still not…

My new golf wedges arrived

I don't think for a minute that they made a huge difference in my shots. I am still so inconsistent in my swing that any type of improvement can't actually be measured. I am enjoying hitting them, and that is a good thing. They are new and…

I will teach myself golf

Why will I teach myself golf? Because the coaches I know don't teach golf. They use track monitors and high speed cameras to find faults in our swing, but no one actually teaches how to swing. I have a good idea what the swing is supposed…

Should I get a golf launch monitor?

Why would I need a launch monitor? I can hardly swing a golf club properly. Well, the Golf Discount Outlet has it on special for $149. I did some research and found that the model they have discounted is the older version. Commonly known as…
