In watching the pros and reading here (I am, by no means a pro, and would love to have the experience a lot of you have), I just was wondering some things:
- What determines when you take a shot with your feet positioned very close together? I know some have their feet close together when pitching/chipping. Is it a yardage thing that decides it for you? Is it only when you use a certain club?
- Let's say you are playing for money (winner takes the pot). The last hole, and you have a one stroke lead, and driver has been giving you fits all day, but you keep going back to it. The last hole is a par 4 with 396 yards straight to the pin, no doglegs, no water, and only bunkers are on both sides of the green. Leaving driver in the bag, what is the safest club you going to hit to make sure you are headed down the fairway? What is the shortest club you would go with?
- No way am I being judgmental in this next one. Golf is a sport that requires tons of focus and such. Even on TV, everyone is quiet before a drive or a putt. When folks like us hit the course (or some anyway, my family members have done this too), there seems to be a 6 or 12 pack involved. If the sport requires such mental focus, and you want to lower your score or shoot below 90 or 80 or whatever, wouldn't drinking alcohol possibly throw that off? I have a feeling some will say it loosens them up. That's fine. I was just thinking getting fitted, having clubs adjusted, certain shafts to help you out more, dropping thousands of dollars to improve your game just to have a few drinks/beers that could possibly mess up your game. If some say that they just play to have fun, I get that too.
