Any golfers out there?

Im a golfer. Handicap is about -1.

Umm there is no such thing as a -1 handicap, at least nothing I have ever heard of and I have been playing for 17 years.
It goes down to 1then you become a scratch golfer.


Warik do what I tell everyone.

Go take a few lessons to learn how to swing right, then practise, practise, practise.

Sorry your wrong though. My usga handicap index is a -1. Scratch refers to someone who shoots around par or par........

Warik golf is simply feel. You need to play enough to where you know what your are doing wrong. If your are hooking the ball, the ball maybe to far back in your stance, your stance may be closed, or your shoulders are closed. Keep your right elbow tucked and your head down. By doing that you eliminate A LOT of problems, there is no reason to swing hard. The bigger shoulder turn you get, the more power, like a coil effect. The most important part is the the short game. What good is 350 yard drive if you cant make the putt from three feet? If i were you i would watch the golf channel, they have a show call "Academy live" that talks about the swing. Good show. Another thing is dont get wrapped in buying expensive clubs. Learn how to eat the ones you have and move up. Try and feel the contact of the ball on the clubface. Once you feel it after a few times, you will know if you are hitting on the heel or toe. If you are duffing the ball then its most likely because your are lifting your head. You cannot hit something if u not seeing it. Your stance needs to be bent at the knees a little with your back erect. Dont slouch over the ball, believe it or not it an athletic stance. Dont pull a john daly and go past parallel at the top, again your power comes from your shoulder turn. If you are blocking the ball right its because your hips are coming through the ball before your shoulders. Hope this helps.

BigDawg....he's right! For those who shoot better than par, there is a - by their handicap, whether it's -1, -2, -3, etc.

Damn Golfer, that's pretty impressive. Are you currently in college and playing on the golf team? Sounds like you could do a lot with a handicap like that. What's your best round? Do you have any intentions of pursuing PGA or Nike Tour events?

I went down to Hilton Head this past week and watched the WorldCom Heritage Golf Classic. They have a Pro-Am you can play in on Wednesday's before the tournament starts. Cost..............$5000 to play one round with a Pro!

I saw John Daly too! People always say they can hit the ball 350 yards, blah, blah, blah. If you have never seen John Daly hit the ball, you can't even imagine how far and hard he hits that golf ball! That ball just seems to explode off of his driver. It was remarkable! His backswing is so far past parallel, it looks so awkward but it seems to work for him!

Im thinking of trying to play on the buy.com tour but i would hate to loose my am. status.

My best round ever was a 67. The best round i have played was in the final day of a tournament about a year and half ago. I was one up heading in the final round and made the turn at a blistering 5 over while the other guy i was one up on made the turn at 1 over, so i was three back. On the back nine i shot a 30. It was the most amazing 2 hours of my life....i have never been close to being in the zone like that.

Good for you! I played in a Pro-Am Tourney when the Nike Tour came here. Played with a Pro by the name of Jackson Brigman. Pretty good golfer to say the least. He was about 13th on the money list at the time. He had aspirations of playing on the PGA Tour and had to go through Q School. I saw about a year or two later on one those specials on the Golf Channel that followed several wannabes through Q School. It showed Jackson during this special and he had actually qualified for the PGA but signed the wrong score card and was disqualified!!!!!!! What a bonehead thing that was. It showed him afterwards hugging his gf or wife and he was balling his eyes out. So close but yet so far! Q School must be grueling!?!

I was DQ'd after playing a nine hole high school tournament because the scorer but - for pars and -1 for birdies. I thought that was bad, i would have shot myself if i got DQ'd in q school.
