I played 9 yesterday and boy did I suck. The course we were on was not very forgiven and I couldnt stop my slice to save the world. Oh well, better luck next time.
uhhhh no. you do know yall get more yearly rainfall than seattle. ahhh i love summer here. no rain for months...suckas
The problem is with your swing path. The natural move in golf is 'over the top' where you start the downswing with your upper body and the club swings outside of the plane, like you are chopping wood instead of hittitng a golf ball. It's something you need to work on at the range by starting the downswing with your lower body and letting the club trail behind into a slightly in-to-out path. But....when your out on the course and that slice starts to ruin your day; focus all your concentration on trying to hit the inside back of the ball. If the ball was a clock laying face up, try to make contact at about the 7 o'clock position. When your hitting the ball off a tee, put a mark on the ball or use the logo and set it at the 7 o'clock position so you have a visual reference, then just hit the the mark.
MB and Gene....I found the most forgiving golf course in the city of Houston. It's called Sugar Hill and it is on Bissonet near Cook Road. No trees, and water on only 3 of 18 holes. Very wide fairways. It has quite a few hills like a links course. I played there about three weeks ago and shot a 92, my best score ever. I nearly fainted. I hadn't played a round in almost 2 years, and I usually shoot around 105. Greensfees are cheap and they have twilight specials during the summer. Go play this course. It's like using the batting cages that throw the ball at 30 miles an hour. It will make any duffer feel like Tiger Woods!
IIRC there are less sunny days in the Seattle area but a lighter volume of rain as measured by total inches rainfall per year compared to Houston. Plus you get hail/tornados/hurricanes/flooding in the Houston area.
It looks like the whole city is getting a break at the moment. I'm up here near Gunspoint Mall and it hasn't rained since about 8am. I hope we can all dry up before the next wave hits.
That is exactly it, but Seattle is FAR FAR more depressing. I lived there for awhile and I think the record was set there for something like 182 days straight without the sun coming up. The good thing there is you don't need an ubrella much because it just seems like it is constantly sprinking light rain.
Weather.com has the rain chances going down to just 40% by Sunday and down to just 10% by the end of next week.
Sugar Hill isn't golf, it's just different angles of a single driving range. Golf is supposed to reward good shots, not just any shot that goes kind of forward.
this figures....I have seats on the hill at the Woodlands for Rush tomorrow. I can almost guarantee it will be storming tomorrow night...thats just how my luck goes.
Decent little downpour in Austin a while ago. It's 74 now (I love it). Doesn't compare to Houston's 40", but we're about 50% ahead on rain for the year. My G35 had hail damage at the end of May; quarter sized hail a a few near golf ball sized. Sure was noisy.
