The OS Golfer's Thread!

Re: The OS Golfer's Thread!

Honestly a little surprised to see so many people that don't use an interlocking grip. When I first started golfing I didn't do it, but my uncle caught me doing it and told me to switch to interlocking because it made it easier to control the club...always felt unnatural to me but I kept doing it because I thought it was how everyone else gripped a club.

Re: The OS Golfer's Thread!

Yeah I use interlocking. Without interlocking I always felt the need to grip tighter. With interlocking it's easier to take a light grip for me.

I only overlap on chips and pitches around the green because I tend to grips tighter there to control speed and ball flight.

Well 7 days until my next charity golf event. Can't wait. Hopefully I'll get out at least once before the event.
Need to get a little tighter on my approaches. At least with it being a Captains choice there won't be a ton of pressure

Shot 43 in my Thursday night 9 hole league yesterday. Just wasn't feeling it at all. My iron game was a mess as well as my putting. Got some kinks to work out that's for sure. I'm seriously considering taking a lesson to tweak a few things in my swing

I switched to interlock, this year. It's been a simple transition because I haven't lost the grip in the middle of the swing.

Re: The OS Golfer's Thread!

Finally played a full round yesterday and shot 38 on the front. I got a little tired on the back 9 I think and shot a 41. My first round under 80 for the year, so my game is starting to round back into form. I hadn't been under 85 prior to yesterday, all year. There has been so much rain here this year that I haven't gotten to play as much as usual.

Yesterday makes me feel a lot more confident about the tournaments I have on Sunday & Monday. Really need to work on my game around the greens. If I could have chipped halfway decent yesterday I would have shot a 74 or 75.

Nice round, man. Those rounds under 80 after a couple stints above are really great. How's the handicap going? I should be in single digits this year after hovering at a 10 for all of last year.

I think my official handicap is still at 9, but for some reason my pro hasn't put in my bogey golf rounds yet from this year. I can probably only really play to about a 13 or 14 right now, but hopefully I'm on my way to a 7-8 handicap this year. I'd be fine with that, although you always leave strokes out there every round to make you think your handicap could be lower.

Worst two month stretch of golf in my life:

5.4 index to 8.7 index.

If things don't shape of soon I will be over a 10 index. I am blaming the crazy Kansas weather, but at some point, I can't use that excuse any more.

Re: The OS Golfer's Thread!

I just checked my ghin and it is now a 10.4 index. My high scores just got added and knocked out some rounds in the low 70's. I was down to an 8.4 last summer so I've got some work to do, but yesterday helped my confidence a lot.

The weather has a been a big problem for me in Kentucky. It has rained and rained and rained. Heck, I was gonna play at 2:00 today and guess what? It's raining. Forecast calls for rain tomorrow too. Usually by now I have 10-15 scores in. I have 4 in right now. So I really am blaming it partially on the weather. The rain and cool temps have also caused our bermuda fairways to be slow coming in. I've basically been hitting off dirt/mud for the last 2 months. Grass is still not totally in, the weather has just sucked so far this year for golf and the golf course.

I blame Kansas weather too, man. What part you in? Just realized my GHIN is inactive - yikes! GOtta renew asap.

Yeah, that definitely sounds like it stinks - weather has been the same here too, except we've got a couple of inches snow couple weeks ago.

Re: The OS Golfer's Thread!

I'm going to get out and play a late afternoon round here. Let it cool of a little bit here in SC.

I've always read/been told that interlocking is mostly for those with smaller hands, overlapping for larger hands. I've tried both (used interlocking when I first started), and it feels a lot better to me to overlap.

Re: The OS Golfer's Thread!

Going out this weekend come hell or high water. Been really busy and haven't had a chance to get out there, but the Wife is going to a concert Satruday. I could probably get in 36 holes, but I doubt my back would hold up as I have had massive honey-do's lately.
