I guess I need to provide an update since I first posed on this topic.  

I am now retired from that large oilfield service and equipment company who liked to be known as No Other Vendor. 

These days I dabble in maintaining a few golf related websites so yes I am still one of those IT nerds on here. 

I am also active in 3 different golf tournament organizations.

Am now working with a German pharmaceutical company doing Cash Collections for their Brazil office, based out of Bangalore India.  Work hours start at 4pm local time and go on till 1 to 2 am.  Whenever possible I try to put in early morning golf rounds during the week.  When staying with my folks I try to go thrice to four times a week to my home course where I am a member.  In town, I tend to play once a week due to cost and availability of playing partners.

I work in IT specifically cloud computing now.   One of the great things about IT is that you can do it from anywhere.   I currently work from home, as my employer doesn’t have any corporate offices around me.  However our customers are everywhere, so a lot of us work remotely and only go to customer sites.   It gave me the ability to spend days at home with my two daughters until they went to kindergarten.  So I was very, very blessed that my girls know me as well as their mother since we were always together.

I'm a product consultant and work for myself. The products are mostly software-oriented and distributed in the legal, finance, and real estate industries. My reward for finishing a day of work is a practice session of golf.

Hi there, I'm an M&A advisor. Luckily nearly half the office plays golf, including the boss, so he arranges every year a corporate event at a fancy golf course, a good way to keep us away from the office for the day.

I’m an airline pilot, based in London (although I’m originally from Scotland). 

We’re very fortunate to have an enormous worldwide route network, with loads of opportunities to play golf when on a trip. If a member of the flying staff recreation club, we also have access to golf clubs kept at the hotels we use (usually a number of sets), and deals with local clubs at the destination. Many of us will travel with our own clubs, though.

At home, I mostly play at Richmond Park Golf Club and the London Scottish Golf Club.

Any tips, for courses worth seeking out, appreciated!

      TST Explores the ShotScope H4 (Stats Tracking Device) and Pro LX Rangefinder

      Has anyone played around with "My Strategy?"  It seems they've revamped it -- I remember not liking the interface a while ago.  Today I went over a course I play semi-often and was able to designate a tee box for each hole, then choose a a club and target direction and it put my scatter pattern for that club off the tee, showing average SG for fairway / rough / bunker (if appropriate) / green.  I could change the club and see how another behaved.  It wasn't clear to me what I can gain from this, or where the follow-up shot supposedly originates, but it is neat to look at it on a map. What motivated me is that I'm debating taking less than driver on one of the par-4s next time I play this course, probably 4-Wood.  I have found myself, sometimes off of a good tee shot, playing my second shot from the tree line, as the fairway slopes strong left to right.  I don't think I've even had a near-GIR on that hole in 2026 (6 rounds at this course), and it's my second-worst strokes-gained hole, playing to an average of 5.3 for me -- the only worse is a hole where I've hit an O.B. en route to a bogey and also managed a triple bogey another round. Scattering my 4W pattern off that tee shows a higher strokes gained, but then again, hitting that club is far from a guarantee I won't fade it a bit and roll into the tree line, now further back from the green.  And I haven't hit a bunted driver in a while, maybe I need to practice that shot, but that isn't something this feature can show (since it doesn't know why my tee shots ended up where they did).  Then again, it might not know where I was aiming for my tee shots either. On a related note, I am finding their course analysis tool interesting, especially when I can sort by strokes gained average and also determine which hole(s) I'm playing to what stroke average.  Interesting that the #2 and #4 handicap I'm averaging under bogey, while 5-6-7 and 12 handicap holes I'm averaging over bogey.  The hole I described a moment ago is the #12 handicap.

      Day 28, June 1.  Went to a course near me while running errands to practice putting.  I wanted to chip also but their chipping green was closed. I did my 4' and 6' drills (around the clock, but with the goal of making each putt twice, for a total of 24 from each station).  On the 4' putts, I took a total of 32 putts to sink all 24.  I'm very happy with the 75% make rate (scratch one-putt at that distance is 80%, bogey 65%). For the 6' putts, I took a total of 52 putts, for a 46% make rate (scratch: 55%, bogey 39%).  That's an improvement I'm happy with, and I'm aiming to do this drill once a week for a while, now that my putting (over the past five rounds) is better than the 10 hcp baseline (I'm a 10.7? 10 point something as I type this), which is far better than 6-7 months ago when I was losing strokes to the 25 handicap baseline (I really should write up what I did to improve over this time).  Amazingly, on the 6', there was one putt (approximately coming from 10:00) that I didn't sink at all in 4-5 passes and then was the only coin remaining, and it was face up.  I could've sworn it would break right, and I kept missing it left, and when I finally aimed straight in, I made two in a row.  Maybe it was one of those rare (?) double-breaker 6' putts. :shrug:

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      This is feeling like the club is at P2. To get lower launch angles I have to feel like I’m dragging my hands through impact just delofting the crap out of the club.  This is trying to stop at P2.5. The consistency in launch angle gets worse. Contact gets worse.   trying to go P3, things get more volatile. The more I increase my swing length the more I can’t lower the dynamic loft.  Edit: these are with my 56 degree.
