Batman

July 21st, 2008

batman

I just got done watching the new batman “The Dark Knight”.. it was alright.. it was actually pretty long. There was this dude and his girlfriend that sat right next to me, they both got drunk (i was at Alamo draft house theaters) and they both fell asleep on each other.. they BOTH started snoring hardcore and i couldn’t even enjoy the movie at all. It was freaking ridiculous. Aside from that, Heath Ledger did a fantastic job playing the joker.. poor guy, its too bad he died cause he was a damn good actor!

If anyone reads this, i recommend you see the dark knight, but wait for like another week when its not so packed and you can sit a few seats down from some people that wont disturb. I give the movie 4 out of 5 stars.

hitting the right shot at the right time.

July 8th, 2008

Ever hit a golf shot into the wind and have it balloon way up into the air causing a severe loss of distance?

This tip may help you if you play where the WIND blows like a hurricane in florida. The key to playing shots into the wind are LOW shots. In order to play a low shot, you need to choke up on the club about an inch or so and play the ball position back in your stance. The more the wind, the more back you play the ball. This will produce a nice LOW shot, hopefully not ballooning into the air. Don’t be afraid to do this with ANY club in the bag, especially the driver.

On an opposite note, if you have wind at your back and you want to bomb it out there, make sure you grip the club normally, but play the ball position a little more up in your stance than usual. Tee the ball higher and let it RIP! For your irons, don’t tee the ball too high or you’ll hit the ball too high on the club face causing a loss of distance, and we don’t want that!

Hope this helps!

Im driving down besides the westpark tollway when I see this enormous cloud of smoke..  Me and the girl decide to find it and park to see.  Damn we’re nosey I know.  check out these pics I took with my phone though.  We got close enough to even inhale the burning furniture.  I think i’m still nauseous from all the smoke…

Chipping from the rough stuff

July 7th, 2008

Have you ever been in a situation around the green when you find your ball almost floating on the very top of the rough?  If you have, well this tip may help you.

When making a stroke in the rough, always make sure that you grip up on the club a little more making it shorter.  This will allow you to make a swing without bottoming the club as much and catch more of the ball than the rough.  Make a few practice swings just skimming the very top of the grass and when your ready, set up to the ball normally and make a smooth easy pitch.  Be confident and make the shot!  hope this helps.
