Without question. We sometimes didn’t have time to go the club, like after dinner. So we played up and down our street with a plastic ball, and real clubs. Two or three lawns away - this tree was the hole, or that mailbox. We were 11 or 12. We were serious about golf. We never stopped to think what went through a homeowner’s mind. He or she sitting in their living room - watching a ball land in the front yard. Watching two club carrying youngsters stroll onto their lawn. We patiently took a practice swing (and improved the lie a bit - alas not all lawns looked like Augusta National). We hit the ball, picked up the clubs and went on our merry way.
ReplyDeleteGoes without saying!
ReplyDeleteThe one place you should not practice is on the course. Sounds crazy but, that’s where you need to focus on playing.
ReplyDeleteAt my CC, I can indeed practice on the course. Keep up with the group ahead of me and just play from 100 yards on each hole. Working on approach shots, there are 100 yard markers at each hole.
DeleteThat backswing is just awful so he needs expert tuition rather than more practice.
ReplyDeleteShould the left elbow be held higher? Please.
DeleteMight be a downswing?
DeleteWork on your short game wherever you can.
ReplyDeleteNot when one is as dangerously inaccurate with an iron as I am.
ReplyDeleteGiving unsolicited advice is poor golf etiquette.
ReplyDeleteRelated to the the cemetery post: Don't practice golf at a cemetery though.
