Giving Your Clubs a Thorough Cleaning

Other than someone else doing it (like your spouse but then let’s not get crazy), you probably wipe them off with a towel on occasion or while waiting on the next tee box, take a tee and pick out the grooves on your wedges. But is that really cleaning them?

Alan, GOLF.com‘s fearless Digital Editor, seems to have arrived on the idea while in peak dad mode over one weekend. His solution to the ever-present problem? We aren’t telling but it really works. You will have to click here https://golf.com/instruction/how-to-clean-golf-clubs-best-way/?utm_source=newsletter_662&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=the-best-way-to-clean-your-clubs to see his ingenious idea. And you might get the driveway cleaned while you are at it. (hint, hint)

By the way it works really well on your shoes also. Don’t forget to dry them off.

Hmmmmmm…………..wonder if the dishwasher might work. It works wonders for visors and hats.

A followup from yesterday's post on Lucas Glover removing his shoes.

Lucas Glover said it was about spike mark complaints, not AimPoint. End of story 😂

In a Slump?
It Happens to the Best of Us!

You’ve seen it….a top player falling out of favor with the golf gods. No one is immune from a slump. Just ask Jordan Spieth, the “comeback kid”. You’ll see pros grinding on the range till the sun sets in searching for something that will turn their game around. The problem is, hitting ball after ball can do more harm than good. The temptation is to fix it by hitting your way out of it. That means trying all sorts of swing fixes. Uh oh!

Believe it or not, sometimes the best thing you can do is step away from golf for a while if you want to find enjoyment again. Remember this is supposed to be fun. Taking a little time away from the course will give you a fresh and positive start when you pick up your sticks again. They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder.

When you do come back, you need to take your focus off of ball flight and focus on committing better fundamental moves into muscle memory again. Take a short break for a week to 10 days and see if your mood just might change if you are feeling down. Think about it, do you really have anything to lose other than some frustration?

5 Myths about Tour Caddies
Glamorous or a Grind

Most golfers at one time or another have dreamed of playing the PGA Tour. But realizing that their talent wasn't up to par (no pun intended), instead decided to become a PGA Tour caddy.

Unless you are on the bag for the extremely elite such as Scottie or Rory, you probably won’t be a recognizable name. And while it can be a great life hanging out with a tour golfer spending your days on legendary golf courses, it is also a lot of hard work. Along with the highs, come the inevitable lows.

Here is a great article by Ryan Asselta of Links Magazine who has put together the 5 myths about tour caddies from John Wood who has caddied for Hunter Mahan, Matt Kuchar and others.

#1 Myth — To be a great caddie, you must be a great golfer yourself. Many caddies are and knowing the game is a must but most caddies are mediocre golfers. You must be able to envision the game in your mind.

#2 Myth — Caddies get to play the best golf courses in the world. They get to WALK some of the finest fairways but rarely get to play them.

#3 Myth — Caddies always tell the truth to their players. Sometimes a little white lie can be beneficial but you must know your player. The caddies must be able to read the vibe in certain situations such as when the player is amped up.

#4 Myth — Being a tour caddie is a nonstop traveling party. Maybe in the good old days but now it is big business. Long, grueling hours physically and mentally are part of it including homework and tournament preparations. Going out and partying doesn’t happen much as this is a serious job.

#5 Myth — Caddies have to carry those huge staff bags. Most everything the player needs can fit into a carry bag. The “big” bag is really a larger billboard for the various sponsors of the player.

What? No Flagstick on the Green?

Here's a thought experiment.

Imagine you show up to your next round...and there are no flagsticks on any of the greens.

Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? But Jon Sherman from practical-golf.com has some definite thoughts on this. He feels that most golfers would actually shoot lower scores.

Why? Because they'd stop asking the wrong question. Instead of thinking, "How do I get this close to the pin?" they'd naturally ask: "What's the best way to get the ball safely on the green?" That's a much better question.

Without a flag to chase, most golfers would take more club, aim for the center of the green, and forget about attacking tucked pins or flirting with hazards. In other words, they'd make decisions that lower scores—not decisions that produce the occasional highlight shot.

There's another benefit most golfers never consider: less mental fatigue. No debating whether to attack a front pin. No convincing yourself that today is the day you'll pull off the perfect shot. Just a clear target. A committed swing. Move on.

The same thing would happen with wedges. If you couldn't see the hole, would you really try to hit a high-spinner that lands three feet from the cup? Probably not. You'd pick a conservative landing spot, play a shot you know you can execute, and get the ball on the putting surface.

Even off the tee, many golfers would make better choices. Instead of trying to create the "perfect angle" to a pin, they'd focus on finding the fairway and giving themselves a straightforward approach.

Now, to be clear... Pin locations matter. But most golfers give them far more importance than they deserve. The flag has a way of pulling your attention toward the smallest target on the course. It encourages aggressive decisions that often ignore where your misses end up and that's not good strategy. Good strategy isn't built around your perfect shot. It's built around your typical shot.

The next time you play, try this before every approach: If I didn't know where the pin was, where would I aim, and what club would I hit? Jon believes that you'll be surprised by the answer. And don't be surprised if your scorecard looks a little better because of it.

Mind Boggling Slow Play Math

This is our busiest time of the year and it only takes ONE group to slow the whole course down behind them. Think of the domino effect it has. And they may not necessarily be beginning golfers. If they are each wasting just 10 seconds of time with each shot, then what can that hurt? Lots -- keep on reading.

Think about this. If 4 golfers average 85 strokes for the round, that’s 340 strokes. If they each waste 10 seconds per shot with some of the typical time-wasters below, that’s 3400 extra seconds or 57 minutes per round. That’s nearly a wasted hour of their time and yours.

Typical time wasters that most golfers are unaware of that are burning up time are:

* chitchatting to each other about nothing in particular when one should be hitting,

* wondering if the club in hand is the right one for this shot,

* not being ready to hit when it is your turn,

* overthinking a putt and looking at it from all angles,

* taking too many practice swings,

* checking messages on your phone when you should be on the tee.

And time wasting backs up every other group following: 17 slowed-up foursomes x 4 golfers each = 68 players x 57 minutes = 3876 minutes divided by 60 minutes = 64.5 hours or over 2 1/2 days “total” extra time…..caused by “just 10 seconds” wasted by that first “unknowing” foursome.

We all have been victimized by this type of slow round. Do your part to not be part of the problem. Be cognizant of idle chatter and other time-wasting actions mentioned above so you aren’t guilty of these simple acts that contribute to slow play.
