I’ve been working on building up this site, and have gone out and visited hundreds that are similar. Golf is a strange sickness and many people claim to have the cure. I’ve joined forums, read discussions and have gotten hot under the collar. So I’m wondering where do you get advice?
I know good Art when I see it
I can’t paint or draw, sculpt or knit, yet I know good art when I see it. A giant red circle on white canvas? Maybe if I’m loaded. I have almost no color coordination abilities, yet I usually pull of matching my brown belt with any color of pant or shoe. Do I look like a dork when I do it? Sometimes, but I’m not pretending to be a fashion diva. Just like I won’t pretend to be an artist. My skill set isn’t made up for all the amazing things gifted artists can convey on a multitude of mediums. When I go to other sites to learn about what people are NEEDING to feed their golf fix, well I’m kinda dumbstruck. There are great writers on golf, excellent teachers, but the main golfing websites with huge followers that use forums as an avenue to dispense information are whacked out!
It is amazing to see posts of 20+ handicap golfers talking the finer points of bending their clubs 1°, or adding 4 grams of weight to the toe of their putter to increase the MOI-Moment of Inertia. Zing a poster from Norway tells a guy from St.Louis that bounce doesn’t mean a thing on wedges (except from sand bunkers to flop shots). What is the world coming to! Cats and dogs, Dems and Republicans working hand in hand…
If you want good Fish ask a Monger
So I guess it comes down to trust. Who do you trust? If you need advice about your golf game, where do you go? I highly recommend not going to forums and asking questions where any dude with an internet connection and too much time can tell you the finer points on hitting a flop shot…(um I do have fast internet, and I do seem to have a lot of time)
You need to ask someone that knows what they are talking about, and I feel that Dogleg Right Golf is a perfect place to ask those difficult questions. If I don’t know an answer to a golf question, then I know someone that does! So look for a forum section on dlrgolf.com, I need to put a stop to the insanity I’ve been reading.
Coming Soon
I’ve just started the process of adding a Forum section to this site. I need your input to make it work. So please send me some ideas of Discussion Threads…what types of questions are you looking for. Take some time and then email me, I can’t wait!
