Swing Speed

Yeah, really. People are much more likely to make their "practice swing" indoors. Then they get on the golf course and see the fairway way out there, and swing harder/faster.

Course dependent?

I could imagine if you put someone onto a 460 yard par 4 they might think i need to give this everything to try and make a par.

I play courses where if you hit it another 10 yards, youll just be 10 yards further into the trees. My home course has hardly any bailout on some tees.

Get yourself an avatar and some other things too here soon, @DuckhookDenny.

Also, is an avatar needed?

No.

I really think this is the majority position here, too: people swing faster outside on the golf course than inside, in simulators or whatever.

theres a lot of people who can swing it pretty fast, but can't hit it for shit.
