The Games We Play

OK, I would like to know what kinds of games everyone likes to play on the course, and what do you wager? So much per hole or per stroke. What do you like to play?

Myself, our foursome mostly plays skins and the skins are 25 cents each, plus we play double for birds ans KP's also. it's not high stakes by any means, but it still keeps you focused on your game.

The guys I play with back home are a little more adventurous and sometimes we play for $5 a hole. That's way too rich for my new foursome(just joined this year)
My favorite games are Vegas for 10 cents a stroke, and wolf for a $1 ea per hole.

This weeks Golf Tip:
Making more short putts.
On short putts, focus on two points. First, aim the putterface precisely. After you read the break, make every putt a straight putt by looking only at the starting line. Second keep your eyes down until you hear the ball drop in the cup with your left ear.

What Shot Do You Free The Most

I wouldn't say that I free this shot, but I would say I'm no dam good at it. When I short side myself and have to pitch over a bunker, this is the shot that gives me the fits. If I try it 10 times I bet I would leave it in the bunker 5 times, the other 5 are probably going to be long. I guess the easiest fix is don't short side myself. Easily said!! What about you what shot gives you the most trouble?

I wanted to talk about my round yesterday but we were rained out! The only good thing about it is the course and especially the greens needed it. So I've decided to post a golf tip instead, and I think I will make it a regular thing. Just trying to help my fellow duffers.

This is a good one I learned at my swing lesson the other day.
Tip 1
Tilt your spine for power
"The first move from the top should be a small lateral hip slide. That tilts your spine to the right, so your right shoulder is lower than your left. This little bump with the hips is what separates the medium-length hitters from the long drivers. Getting that spine tilt brings your club into the slot on the downswing and lets you make a powerful move through the ball from the inside." By Tom Stickney PGA Professional
