I love hitting off grass
Attachment 113006
We got those stupid fucking wooden boxes at our course last year too. They look nice, but I hate them.
I might preferred the pyramid of balls, but maybe they thought it was too much work for the teenagers to use a little funnel thing to fill it.

They don’t bother me. They come out easy enough. Also much easier for the grounds people to fill them on a regular basis.Quote:

I found a nice little gem not too far from the office for me to hit off the grass. Went once this season, then sprained my ankle pretty bad. Hope to be able to get back out next week.
Go on...Quote:

Little practice at the range last night.
Has anyone taken lessons at Golftec?
If so, do you have a recommended instructor? OR do you have a better recommendation in the North end of the city?

I've heard/seen guys who have used Golftec and they are positive about their experiences but still suck at golf. Todd Halpen is someone I've used in the past and is great player, teacher, coach, etc. that has won teaching awards, and crap. He's not cheap but it really depends on what your goals are. I have a couple recommendations for guys in the deep south but that range looks like Airdrie, so I doubt you want to go down that far. Modern Golf has some solid guys too, Jeremy and Travis are guys I'd take a lesson from.
I use Darryl James in the winter & Luke Workman in the summer.
Both are great but neither located in the north.
Darryl James is with National Golf Academy and teaches out of the dome in the winter & Shaganappi in the summer.
Luke teaches out of the club.
Anyone know a decent female beginners coach?
My wife has apparently decided she wants to golf… and she said she wanted a female instructor.
Would it help if you told her golf lessons aren’t like they appear in the movies?Quote:

But seriously, no, I’ve never met a female golf pro that’s actually good at playing or teaching.
Her background is synchronized swimming. She has weird ideas of men’s and women’s sports :rofl:Quote:

Golftec is garbageQuote:

Been hunting for one of these since the launch, have been sold out in Canada.
Garmin website got some inventory this AM so pulled the trigger.

For some reason this I can justify but an Apple Watch or other kind of smartwatch I can’t haha
Also for some reason I spend money on this over things that would actually help my golf game, like lessons or a fitting.
Crystal Shapka. Think she's at CGCC. No idea if shes a good beginner coach or not, but shes a female pro (knew her when i was a kid and she was destroying everyone on the course)Quote:

Tells you how little i know about golf now... maybe can contact her and see if they coach away from their course?
