Then it's downright stellar - hence the 14 index after 4 mo. I suppose.

I would say pretty often. I did, so I put the highest that was offered. I have no idea what my index is.

You are in heady company:

According to Dave Lancer, the Director of Information for the PGA Tour, Bubba Watson had this year’s highest average swing speed according to Trackman with a speed of 123.24 mph (311.4 yards per measured drive). This is 0.01 faster than last year’s highest average from J.B. Holmes.

Have to agree-I can put up 115 in the store trying to crank it, and the sim doesn't produce the slice or duck hook I would hit in real life swinging that hard.  Also, it's easy to figure out your handicap-there are plenty of golf handicap calculators online.  I don't have an official handicap, but if you enter your scores and the rating/slope of the tees you played it'll calculate it for you.

BTY your handicap is not what you scored on the first hole

I know 3-4 months after starting I was scoring 114 not the mid 80's you need for a 14 cap - good for you.

Where I come from, whether or not you're "good" is judged by the scores you post, not by swing speed on a simulator.

AG, welcome to the game, you might want to look at playing a few (20-30) rounds on a full size course to get the feel of where you are before you start worrying about swing speed. It isn't

all that important to enjoying the game, since swing faster means just sending the ball farther offline for 99% of us.

It ain't bragging if you can do it.

It's a completely valid response.  One of the last things you should worry about is if your swing speed is "good."  Work on hitting it straight, keeping it in play, hitting the distance you plan on hitting, chipping, bunker play, putting, and course management first.

It's possible that he meant, "you have enough power to now focus on consistent contact and making the shots you need to score well". I said "possible".

      SuperSpeed Sues Stack System for Supposedly Syndicating Successes & Statistics

      By iacas ·

      https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603d222df4a6a57df7ef3e29/t/663cdba5d89e3a1848dab8d1/1715264422455/US_DIS_ILND_1_24cv3749_d34676497e293_COMPLAINT_filed_by_SuperSpeed_Golf_LLC_Jury_Demand.pdf The full complaint is there, but  basically, SuperSpeed (SS*) is claiming the Stack System (SS*) Stack System’s [sic] produces inflated metrics later used to, [sic] mislead and deceive consumers. Stack System’s marketing materials inflate apparent swing speed and distance gains through selective presentment of data without qualification that purported gains are not the result, in whole or part, of its training protocol and products. * Yes, I'm joking about abbreviating both "SS." SuperSpeed wants: A judgment that the Stack System has disseminated false and/or misleading information in violation of federal and Illinois law. The deletion of all false advertising distributed and recall of all packaging containing false advertising and a requirement that Stack System issue notices (written or otherwise) to that effect to all current distributors and retailers of its products and all distributors with whom Stack System has done business in the past eighteen months. Written confirmation within 30 days of an injunction detailing the manner and form in which Stack System has complied. An order that Stack System disseminate corrective advertising informing consumers, the trade, and the public of Stack System’s unlawful conduct. 3X all profits received by Stack System as a result of its unlawful actions. 3X all damages sustained by SuperSpeed (as a result of Stack System’s actions) The cost of the action All reasonable attorney fees All other relief to which SuperSpeed are entitled and such other or additional relief as just and proper. Oy.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By iacas ·

      I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Dr. Manhattan ·

      Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again.

      Perceptive rules question by caddie unlocks Tour pro’s ‘dead zone’ relief A perceptive rules question by Xander Schauffele’s caddie, Austin Kaiser, unlocked “dead zone” relief during the Wells Fargo Championship.

      I ran across an interesting new clip, Johnson Wagner went into that spot with the Referee who allowed the relief.  Apparently there was a perfectly reasonable shot to be made, as Johnson clearly demonstrated, so relief from the TIO was perfectly appropriate.
