Professional jazz/rock/studio guitarist and teacher in the D/FW area. Been golfing since I was 7 years old and really have been going at it hard for the past 4 or 5 years. Really enjoy compressing the pill. Made a good number of friends in the professional golf scene around Dallas, not to mention the friendships I've made here on the Dirt.
I'm a teacher at heart, and I enjoy sharing what I myself have learned through the years. If you have any questions about golf (or music for that matter), hit me up. I'm no expert, but I'm sure I have something to offer.

- About My Game
- Been working for years on becoming a good ballstriker. I have highs and lows just like everyone. Usually hit a good number of greens (highest was 16 of 18), but I'm a pretty mediocre recovery player and only a decent putter.

Took a week off after that tournament. Now looking forward to this weekend, where it looks like I will get to play on Friday, Saturday AND Sunday! The persimmons are back in the bag, and I'm going to play some more, shall we say, "gentle" tracks than I played in the qualifier. Huzzah!

Timothy Goynes replied to the topic Re: In Search of the great Ballstrikers in the forum.Hey hey hey hold the phone guys. I never said that hybrids are somehow inferior clubs, or that hybrid players are inferior golfers. (I own a few myself, remember...) I don't think Grady said anything like that either.
Hybrids are fine golf clubs that are substantially easier for most golfers to hit high and on line. They can be worked just fine in both directions and are better than long irons out of the rough by far. One thing they lose an edge on is trajectory control,...

Timothy Goynes replied to the topic Re: In Search of the great Ballstrikers in the forum.Regarding the 1-iron vs. hybrid. If you can hit a 1-iron, there's no real reason to hit a hybrid. (I own several 1-irons, several 2 irons, and a few hybrids as well, so I've compared them.) Hybrids are easier to hit for sure, but once you've grooved a good golf swing, the hybrid loses its advantage, in my opinion. Hybrids in general hit the ball too high for my tastes. It's great, I guess, if you're playing a course that has island greens on 240-yard par 3s and you have to stop the ball....

Timothy Goynes replied to the topic Re: In Search of the great Ballstrikers in the forum.Yeah, Phil took the driver out of the bag this week...he's just using that strong 3 wood thing. And I agree, not my favorite swing, but the guy has come in 2nd five times, and he's way past due to finally win one.
I am glad to see that Merion is holding its own against these guys, even when soggy! From what everyone was saying going into it, I thought there were going to be a bunch of 65s and 64s today. Just goes to show that a classically-designed, well-thought-out course can...
