On a golf course when they put the distance to the hole. I was just wondering what part of the green are they calculating those distances?

Thanks

Depends on the course. Either center or front of green.It should state which on the scorecard in the local rules.

It's different for every course.

I played a course last week - the mens card was in yards. The ladies in metres. The distance markers in metres but were round numbers in yards (e.g. 137 metres - - 150 yards!)

There is also a course in Ireland with a 125 yard long green - so it's worth checking if there is pin placement info about!!! Distance to the front could leave you 100 yards short

I could be mistaken but don't think any GPS service is aware of the daily pin locations.

I always thought they configure the GPS on carts by the pin location schedule?

You could be right because those systems are run by the golf course. I was thinking more about SkyCaddy and those type systems.

      Day 2: did my Evolver drill in the mirror.  No club, just did the motion. And this time I am confident I am doing it correctly.

      Nothing is assured and lots of talented young athletes in many sports fail to achieve greatness. as was said, injuries, growth, lots of things can come into play, And let’s let honest, over the years a few players have been branded “The Next Tiger Woods” and yet there is only 1 Tiger Woods. My initial point was if he can do a great breakout it may capture the attention of a new generation.  Back in the 70s it was Secretariat in horse racing, we also had Jordan in basketball and let’s not forget Tiger for golf.  Stories get people interested and I think golf needs a new story. I will pull for him and hope it works out but there are so many factors that come into play you just do not know, But I can hope.

      Day 114: 4/19/24 Chipping and putting practice. Tried a little hinge and hold with good results, which has never been the case during a real round. Playing tomorrow and eager to play.

      I don't think I've found any of the Good Good stuff, or the guys that were once a part of it, very interesting.
