What player that lad is. Glad I stayed up to watch the end, some shot from the bunker. I had written Fitzpatrick off before he teed off for his final round - expected him to falter a bit under the pressure but he didn't. Lot of praise for his caddie too. Professional golf is so open and competitive right now, great time to be alive watching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armageddon Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Putting it out was a sensational move, if he didn't he placed all the pressure in the world on his own shoulders, but he just treated it like any other hole and putt. I get Billy Foster has been around for years, but you could be fooled into thinking it's his name going on the trophy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it seems the media hunt him out for an opinion on everything - similar to Gary Player - and it can become a bit tiresome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel Camazzola Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 The Torrance at the Fairmont is in absolute immaculate condition. 👌🏼 Greens as smooth and true as snooker tables. Fairways like carpets. The course has been receiving extra care due to this week's final Open qualifier and the DP World Tour event next month. I recommend playing it whilst it's in this way. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never payed or asked for a lesson, but got one at Panmure. Grip, alignment, stance and posture was textbook, but belt buckle didn't finish facing the target, hence a couple of snap hooks. The touring coach Pro (can't remember name) sent me my video nasty. Seeing my weight, right foot and hips static through the swing was ugly...Video fixed me though... No need to be shitting yourself, if the Pro can sort you out, he'll be like a dug wi twa cocks...and so will you...good luck...👍 Edited Tuesday at 07:22 by OBE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try and get to the practice range and play a round soon after the lesson to try and get it to sink in. Don't have a lesson and then not play for a few weeks. Which is what I've done in the past and any progress I'd made during the lesson was gone and I'd forgotten half the stuff I'd been told. 🤦♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll drive ma usually long and straight for a few weeks, then it'll go to pot and get worse trying to fix it. Nightmare. I only started last year and had a driving lesson to fix my slice (got to the point the ball was like a boomerang and was going to start coming back round), a putting lesson, and general iron lesson from one of my local pro's and the difference in my play is night and day. Can find the fairway on most of my drives now, basically eradicated 3-putts from my game (bar the odd howler), and added about 20 yards onto each of my irons, all after a single lesson for each. He's got a cracking set up in his bay that has all the Trackman stuff - he takes videos and puts them side-by-side to the Trackman data and talks over it so you've always got a copy of it. What Ray Gin said as well - get playing as soon as you can after. I didn't play for a couple of months after my driving lesson and it went to complete shit when I played again but the fact he sends you a video makes it harder to forget what you've been taught... Found out earlier this year he's a ST holder as well 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
