allow me to be the one to congratulate Adam Scott on a solid win!

I agree.  I was starting to wonder if he was going to lose it there at the end, but, he kept it together.

I’m glad Scott beat Kuchar because then we wouldn’t Have to hear all the questions about how much his caddy is getting. 😜

I was pulling for Rory though.

They should have a Northern Swing this time of year. Play indoor golf like the rest of us suckers.

I have been looking at irons all winter, but I have been told three times that the launch monitors are not that accurate. Here they are short, so are the one’s on TV long? Are they really hitting that Maverick 345 yards?

Much easier to hit super long drives on the golf course than on a monitor, generally.

Monitors don't have downhill, downwind, or slopes and humps on fairways that can really add to rollout.

It never ceases to amaze me watching some of the tee shots at Augusta bounce and roll sometimes 70 yards

Or uphill, wet conditions, or slopes and humps on fairways that can reduce or even eliminate rollout...

I watched it and it was ridiculous how on the same par 4 Rory shot a triple and Adam a double bogey. They both chipped from behind the green, hit the upslope and exchanged their positions almost exactly. Makes me feel better about my game 🤣

That is true, but beside the point.  We were talking about long drives.  Not short ones - those rarely get mentioned on TV (or in real life either!).

The point is, it’s not necessarily easier to hit a longer drive on the course.  In many cases, it’s harder to do so.  But, 180 mph ball speed is 180mph, whether it’s on a monitor or on the course....

How about this:

It's easier to hit a long drive on the course. 

It's also easier to hit a short drive on the course.

As it applies to Tour golf on TV, these guys are often hitting to a downslope knowing they'll get a huge bump.  And they're good enough to do it.  They're not a bunch of 15 handicaps randomly bumping it off mounds and soggy patches at the local club.

Put another way:  It's easier to hit a ball 340 yds on a golf course with favorable conditions than on a launch  monitor.  On a monitor (that's properly calibrated and set up) you have to earn every bit of it.

    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
