I'm a software/web consultant. I like looking through the server logs mid-day to see who's browsing the main site (we don't keep statistics on forum usage). It's always a bunch of people using thei

I am a police officer in a city south of Boston, 6 years so far. I work the midnight shift to give myself more time for golfing, although it doesn’t always work out as planned haha.

Government Solutions Specialist for Contract Positions....just a fancy word for a staffing agency that works with the government specifically.

My father is a Service Disabled Veteran, when I went to college I started Freelancing for staffing firms to make some quick cash - by the time I was a Junior getting my degree in Psychology I drop out.  Went to work for my father and since then haven't had time to look back; nor have we had time to take a deep breath!

If it wasn't for golf, I don't think I would be able to work a desk job!

Civil engineering tech is probably the most lucrative thing I know how to do.  In school for an actual civil engineering degree at the moment though.

Hey everyone.  I'm Steve Anderson, a PGA Master Professional in Ft. Myers C.C.  I'm the Director of Instruction at River Hall C.C. and for Hampton Golf Management company.  Our president is MG Orender who was the 33rd President of the PGA of America so nice working under a guy like that.

I've taught the game for 33 years, have written 3 books and produced a lot of golf videos. I worked for Ken Venturi from 1992-96 and that was awesome.  This site and forum is great and I'll be more than happy to help out however I can.  It's fun to see everyone's posts and, as Venturi told me, there's lots of ways to teach the game.  What a great way for us all to help each other and promote this great game.  Look forward to posting with everyone.

Steve

I live in the Virgin Islands and am a general specialist.

When available I am a Project Manager on historic renovations; I meat fish; I roast coffee commercially (small scale/small place); I am currently doing inspections on properties with problem loans (plenty of that here right now) and hire out doing road repairs on the mountain dirt roads nearby, with my equipment.

I think it's called grabbing the low hanging fruit and it leaves plenty of time for golf at the 9 hole Reef Golf Course, a fifteen dolla a round beauty, no tee time reservations necessary!

Hello, my name is Greg and I'm an addict. I don't have life. Just joking. Retired urologic surgeon who believes without life there is no golf and without golf there is no life. I'm sure there is golf in heaven. I just don't want to know my tee time. Looking forward to getting others insights and learn the message board ropes.

Part-time retail management, full-time student. Left the grind at 35 to finally go to college and get my degree. Tired of working for someone else... didn't like it as a Marine, nor as a salaried retail manager... so it was time for a change. Graduate in December with my Associate's degree, then off to get the Bachelor's.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.

      Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.
