Great! Now you will be f**ked from both sides of the ball. Hold on.!! I'm commin' !!

Take practice swings by swinging with your (left handed clubs) with your right hand only. You should be able to "feel" the swing. The club head will take on a life of it's own and throw itself at the ball.

I will follow up with the results.

If it feels natural to swing and finish from the left, I think that is a good start. Many things in golf do not feel right until you get it, but I think the basic swing should feel somewhat natural. When I putt lefty, I feel just as comfy as righty.

So I went to a golf store this evening and told them my intentions. So they watched me swing both left and right and implored me not to switch. They told me it would take me 3 years to get where I am right now and that I just need to relax and be patient. So if I win the Ebay auction I will have a set of LH Cleveland CG4 irons & driver that I will give to any of you lefty golfers in Puget sound.

my point being that i'd been your partner, i definitely would have given you shot of the match.

Did your caddie Romeo have a five dollar bet with McCord ( see tin cup ) .

Getting back out to Buffalo Run Thurday evening for their $9 for nine special. Such a badass course.

Anyone interested in playing nine at Hyland Blue tomorrow in the morning? I'm open all day but want to get off the track earlier to beat the heat.

For the record, we were playing team golf, not golf score, which is always more fun. I felt I had a 50/50 chance of pulling the shot off and as I was in jail and getting back to the fairway any other way would have taken 3 shots, there was no downside if I failed to pull it off. Nothing more fun in golf than playing a match play round with a partner to consult with. Takes the game to another level of enjoyment IMO. When one of the loosing team sought to toss a barb by asking "what did you shoot?", my partner replied. I shot $6 (the winnings) vs your $0.

Going Dufner stylie...picked up the SuperStroke Fatso yesterday, going to regrip the putter this weekend. This grip is over the top...audacious. Looking forward to being the asshole with the giant, oversized grip.

It takes a good while to get used to the big grips. It's not for me. And, you need to adjust the weight of the head. Good luck figuring that out.

I went with the SS slim- it has completely changed my putting by taking my wrists out of the equation. I am deadly under 8 ft with this thing.

**guroo270** · 06-26-2012, 01:22 PM

I guess it depends on the person. I've got a fat grip on my scotty cameron newport. No big deal ever. It quiets the hands, no questions asked. Although you should use a pretty light grip on your putter no matter what, I feel a lot more comfortable with a veeerrrry light grip on my putter now.

I am reworking my putting stroke right now (much more compact and controlled)...so, figured this is the right time to change equipment feel. Will learn it over time.

**philth** · 06-26-2012, 07:10 PM

So I just had the best 9 holes of my life. Played my local 9 hole course in Stamford Vt. After the 4th I knew something was up. I was even after 7. Missed a fucking 3 foot put for par on 8 and par on 9 for a 37. FKNA I know 9 is only 1/2 a round but I will take 1 over anyday.. I'm still smiling.

sweet. i hate to say so, but i bet missing that 3 footer hurt. congrats!

**philth** · 06-26-2012, 07:19 PM

Thanks Spook. I laughed when I missed it. Did not hurt that bad because A) I have never taken Golf too serious and B) it was so much better than my prior rounds at that course that it still felt great.
