I'm not watching the show, I did not like the last season at all, but heard about the scene and hey, it's already on YouTube. He makes what looks like two albatrosses in a row with a not great looking swing (that's fine, can't expect all actors to be athletic). Dunno what course this is. Western US somewhere?

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Looks like 3 albatrosses in a row. 

The guy should have suspected something was up when he made the second one. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

I've forgotten much of the show, I know it's a simulation and robots, but it's not a simulation of the Matrix type, the fake world is manifested physically right? Even a robot with a perfect swing and super speed can't do this. Apparently this scene has kind of gone semi viral?

Did they blue screen in that golf course? Something just seems off to me. At first, I thought it looked like a really good video game cut scene. 

I think they look very hi definition, and the background looks less so. 

The physics of the golf ball look off. You can see the golf ball just start to plummet out of the air right after he hits it.

Why are you both assuming it's a par four?

Also, it's clearly not a real ball. It's just CG.

See below. That was Harris making the swings, but probably CGI for the ball. I was watching his swings and saw him playing a fade, but the ball came in as a draw every time 🙄

the shocking part to me is that someone would be surprised to see unrealistic golf in a movie. Even movies that purport realism...say, the greatest game ever played...the golf has many, many shots that I look at and think "yes, I can hit that...on the X-Box"

weirdly, some of the most realistic golf shots I have ever seen were in Caddyshack...the 40 yard straight right shank, I have seen that and pretty much that exact ball flight :-)

Because it's more fun that way.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind.
