shot a 82(+10) for 18 holes today. best round ever. it's actually only a 9 hole course, but I played it twice in a row.

so if my calculations are correct, i'm a 10 handicap and ready to go pro!!

age: 29
age started playing: 28
age started playing seriously(more than a couple times a year):2008
swing:totally self taught never had a lesson in my life.
height: 6'0
weight 195
squat: 315 lbs
deadlift:295 lbs

2008 was when i really started playing more. i played probably 8-10 times that summer (once a week on average) and now Im starting to play again about once a week)

typical yardages:
driver:280 carry
3 iron:230
9 iron: 170

potential? u think i got a chance to make a career or no? But let me also tell you that I hit a 3 iron PURE!



Oh and I'm a nuclear engineer major ready to drop out and go PRO!

c'mon guys, I want to see 35 pages of posts BRAHS!!

this is hilarious, i love it.

I think you are ready, I shot an 89 yesterday for my 3rd time out and this game is so easy I think I'm going to dedicate my life to it and just win the Masters next year. I hit it 300+ with every club so how hard can it be?

How can your handicap be a 9 if your best round ever is a 82? Dont get me wrong though 82 is great for only playing for a year.

You have some serious distance in the masters a lot of pros were hitting 7 from 170 and you could hit 9.

Man, I wish I had that kind of distance.

yeah BRAH, you can do it!!! but i thought you only played 9 holes and then doubled that score to come up with your handicap? i know you prolly would've shot the same 41 on the back 9 since thats what most golfers do (shoot the same score on both 9's).
hehe. that thread was hilarious

Yeah I admit, I wasted a weeks worth of skimming through hundreds of posts, but it was well worth it in the end. Good laughs.

I've tried to register several times but it said the registration was blocked. Since I live in the same city as 804 golfer I wanted to chime in on that. The course he plays is one of the easiest around and back when I played it I always came away feeling good about myself. The course never plays to the yardage (if the tees are in the right place to begin with) and those 30+ pages just kept cracking me up. I'm just glad to be in the same area as the guy, we're a whole lot better off around here.

Oh and I can hit a 9 iron 170 brah!

You have the potential to be a writer of fictionial stories.

I seriously think that you can be a scratch golfer within 1 1/2 years and if you work hard, hone your golf skills you can be ready for the Champions tour.

Brahs, I shot 42 (+7) over nine holes this afternoon. Sign me up for at least the Nationwide tour, brosef. I've only been playing golf for 72 hours.

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
