This is starting to feel like a reverse melt. Are you LSU fans OK?

it's almost like LSU fans haven't had shite to be excited about in 6 years :lol:

Ed's ex broke him. His last season he was mailing it in.

I don't think he will be a good coach again until he is stable, too much chasing tail.

I'm constantly practicing lately trying to get down to low single digits from 8-10 and it seems my distances are different every few weeks. I'm obviously thrilled with any gains, but it will throw a round off fast. Maybe this index range is when you experience the most swing improvements the quickest?

I'll do a bag mapping, and it will hold up for 2-3 weeks, then boom all my scoring clubs are 7-10 yards longer and it ruins a round. No complaints. It doesn't hit my long irons or fairway woods as hard. I do see gains there but usually only a couple yards so its negligible. I'll go map them again I'm ok for a bit.

I guess the lack of consistency can be slightly frustrating, but definitely a first world problem.

Just trying to see if this a common occurrence

No want wants to watch Bama put up 60 on a hapless LSU other than Alabama fans. This should be 11:30 SECN+ game :lol:

If O wouldn’t have fell apart at the seams he would still be here. He got lazy and complacent after 2019, then the wife situation really screwed him up. He had girlfriends showing up at practice, recruiting dropped off a cliff.

Played yesterday with my son. It was my first time ever playing there. Will definitely be back.

Course was in fantastic shape. Greens are probably the best I've played around the Baton Rouge area. Soft, receptive, pristine. My son actually had a couple shots spin back on the green.

The only downside was our short game was slightly off because of typically having to account for way more roll out. Kept leaving everything way short. Probably left 4-5 strokes out there because of that and had 37 putts :banghead:

Big props to the Supe and the grounds crew. My son said it was his favorite course we've played recently, and we played TPC Louisiana on Sunday.

This has been discussed but just to clarify:

LIV also does not allow Grant to film content during tournament rounds which is the crux of the issue as I understand it.

Grant wasn’t going to be allowed to bring his YouTube camera crew inside the ropes during the tournament. That wouldn’t be allowed by any professional sport on earth.

---

PGA has allowed both George and Wes Bryan (before his suspension) to do this multiple times. It's only 1 person outside the ropes filming.

I'm assuming they did this because of his participation in the Duels videos with LIV golfers.

Woods - Ping or TM

Irons - Srixion or Mizuno

What do you do for swing speed/distance? I'd go with the more accurate ball & consider beefing up your speed/flexibility routine. And 240 is no slouch especially at 50+

---

It's 100% a flexibility issue at this point. Not as flexible as I used to be. I have been trying to force myself to stretch every morning and especially on days I know I'll be playing. I also have dealt with Tennis elbow in my lead arm for the past 5-6 months so that can affect it as well if it's flaring up.

I can't seem to turn my shoulders farther enough on my back swing anymore even if I lock out my trail leg which in and of it itself feels wrong. I can still produce more speed if I "jump off the ground" but that tends to be an uncontrollable swing.

I'm sharing this in case anyone else is interested and also looking for feedback.

I'm a 50+ yr old golfer at a ~10 index with a driver swing speed of ~85-90 mph. My average driver carry is 220 with a 240 avg total. I started testing various mid-range golf balls all priced between $25 - $45 to find the best for me. I tried to stay at a compression rating between 70 & 80 and under $45.00. I have a simulator at home so I can see numbers that way and also test on the course.

These are the ones I've tested so far

Taylormade Tour Response - $42
Bridgestone E12 - $35
Callaway ERC Soft - $40
Wilson Triad - $40
Maxfli Tour S - $40

After testing all these balls on the sim and playing at least 3 rounds with each, I'm currently torn between the ERC and Triad.

The ERC is the longest off the tee by about 5 yards. It also produces slightly more greenside spin. '

The Triad seems to be by far the most accurate. My GIR goes up above 40% when I play this ball. Not quite as long off the tee. It also feels the best with putting. It seems to roll the truest.

Any feedback? Any others I should try?

SideNote: I'm also about to start testing the "Otto" flex which is finding driver shafts that emulate the autoflex without autoflex pricing.

I orderd an Evenflow Riptide CB 50G Senior flex and a Gallafoy Prolaunch Blue 45g in Ladies flex. Both of these are suposedly very close in performance to the Autoflex. I will try them as it and if necessary, tip them to stiffen them up slightly. They are both releatively cheap and at this point, I'll try anything to pick up 15-20 yds off the tee.
