Thanks. I tried it too, just short of low point and my club champ saw I was only 15 yards behind him, and he gave a puzzled look! I was using a Precept he had a Titleist!

Go get some Titleists or I'm afraid we can't be friends anymore.

Don't be silly, Big Guy.
Patrick, you can do like I do: Play what you find. Kevin has a never ending well of Pro-V's. I think he uses at least 6 balls a season. He hits it so straight he can't lose it. I sometimes lose it just standing up.

Uhmmm, is there a secret Titleist decoder PGA discount TGMAA members?
I might be able to be a BIG TITLEIST supporter for the right
uhm, encouragement.

Perhaps, that company could be featured in all my lyrics and posts?


For example...

"Please come to Boston in the springtime
I'm tgm'ing here with friends and we have lots of TITLEISTs
We play at a club that looks out over the ocean
And watch our TITLEISTS fade and bite onto the greens
Please do geometry with me;she said no
But you enjoy the TITLEISTS from me..."

Uh, Patrick. I'll shill for LBG, TGM, and maybe Summit Brewery, but that's about it. My favorite hat has nothing on it and my bag has duct tape over the brand.
Do you really play by the ocean? We sometimes have standing water at our course, but not for long.

Patrick,

When Jerry, Roger and I head to Cuscawillo, we're picking up O.B. on the way, and you will be right on our way from his place. We will have a blast. Start saving your sheckles!!!

Im....waiting....

"standing on the corner, 12 th street and vine". (Hit it City)


Where the heck are you guys?

Kev have you tried an aiming point several inches in front of the ball for the driver? Several inches after (target side) for a wedge? I really love it for the driver, really. When Im hitting, 12-1, with a driver I tend to get some fades which are in play but not as long as a draw. With the aiming point deal I release it better. Blammo. It gives the longer lever a chance to square up and vice versa for the shorter lever , wedge. For me I just look at that spot, aiming point , as opposed to staring at the ball, like I would in a bunker say. For balls played forward , at or in front of low point with a driver, I keep the clubhead aligned to my feet or low point as per usual, move the ball forward a tad and aim at the Aiming Point which is just in front of the clubface. For some reason I get all out a whack when I address a ball forward of low point with the clubhead right beside it. Like Im going to fat the ground on the way back and through or something. If the clubhead is forward of low point too and laying on the ground as opposed to hovered, it must bottom out in both directions, right? Maybe it wouldnt be a problem if I hovered it? I dunno.


The Aiming Point concept has an anti steering aspect to it as well , I think, as the ball starts to become like Homer's dandelion. Im really starting to think the ball doesnt like to be looked at directly. Im trying to sneak up on it when its not watching. Sort of whistling and talking about other stuff and then blam. Trevino style. The ball doesnt have a clue what just happened. It works really nicely with The Three Stations.

OB, I thought you were ...
Standing on a corner in Winslow, AZ
With such a fine sight to see
It's a 10-3-A using a 2-J-3-B
Flying to the middle of a green

C'mon baby fade like crazy
I gotta see that TITLEIST sit down on that pin
And I don't mean maybe


I need a date for the trip and a location to work on as budget! I'm working through July in Summer school to afford the TITLEISTS!

Patrick

BTW, Kevin, I like G. Straight, but I haven't sat with his music. AND IOU big.
