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.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
