Golf Superpower. What's Your Pick?


Recommended Posts

I thought of another one: Summon Caddie.

Summoning Tiger Woods as my caddie for one hole per round might not improve my game, but the sheer coolness of having that power would make every round a thrilling adventure.

Taking a flight of imagination, picture having Marty McFly from Back to the Future as your caddie. With his futuristic insights, he predicts where your ball will land, turning every swing into a thrilling time-traveling golf adventure.

Along the same lines, I would like to have the power to move the slow group in front to a position behind me.

You will feel the need to let the group in front of you pass through.

I would settle with just having the ability to help the group in front of me offer to allow me to play through. 

I was recently playing in a group that was much much faster than the group in front of us. We waited a couple of holes in a row to give them the opportunity to ask, then speaking for the group I asked them. "Hey, can we play through?" 

"There's no place to go" was their response and they played on without letting us play through. In my head I thought "Bullsh!t... There are three open holes in front of you guys." But instead I said nothing. By time we finished there were six open holes in front of them.  People who don't get it, don't get that they don't get it. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Holy shit. Within the rules of this game this is the winner by a mile!

Aside from @Vinsk's genius nomination, but kind of along the same lines in terms of zen/jedi mind, how about goldfish brain power? The ability to maintain a maximally positive and calm frame of mind and not even "forget" bad shots but not even have it be an issue that a bad shot could stick with you and have a negative effect on future shots.

Two options:

1) Call the Marshall - This would be my preferred option

2 ) It does not always work but sometimes you can skip a hole to get in front of them then play a couple holes to get a gap ahead of them and drop back and play the hole you skipped then drive past them again to go forward to where you left off.  A lot depends on the course layout if that would work and you would really need to know the course layout to make it work.  Also, if it is jammed up behind you then you may never be able to play the hole you skipped.  I've successfully done this a couple of times and the look on the faces when you skip by them the 2nd time is great.

    • I figured it was questionable as well. I too thought it was funny when he said how easy it was to set up compared to ‘more expensive devices.’ Yeah, it’s a real mess turning on my Mevo and setting it down. Maybe it’s ‘useful’ for someone who doesn’t want to spend a dime on a monitor and only wants to know distance, on a clear day.😗
    • Is all about the balance between calories consumed / digested vs calories burned though the day. The best way to lose weight is to keep your mouth shut! eat less. Consume less calories than your body needs and you will loose weight eventually. Slowly but surely. Off course you can ad extra workout to your day to burn more calories but it's a lot easier to avoid eating that 2nd burger than going out to run an hour or more to burn it. I went from 75 kilos down to 63 in 1 year just because I wasn't able to eat without pain. In that year I didn't exercise at all in that period, I was feeling bad every day. It was all about not eating enough.  2 years later I regained all my weight, just because I started eating more because I was feeling better. Also in that period I started to hit the gym and play more golf. Burned a lot more calories but also eat a LOT more food.  Fast and slow metabolism is a thing but is just an excuse to quit. If you have a slow metabolism and you want to lose weight is going to be harder for you to lose weight than a person that have fast metabolism, but is possible if you really commit to it.  Bonus track... the bigger the muscles, the more calories they burn during the day even when they are resting. So lifting weight while dieting is better than dieting with cardio.    What is real in a diet? The ideal number is to eat 500 calories less than you burn per day. In 2 week you will be 7000 calories down. That equals to 1 kilo or 2 pounds. So the idea is to loose 2 kilos / 4 pounds a months... it seams to little but over a year is a whopping 24 kilos / 48 pounds. Remember... if you commit to loose way Slowly but surely you will lose weight. Never believe when someone try's to sell you, that you can loose 20 pounds in one month. Is not possible or healthy.  Another thing when you start to diet is don't get discouraged if after a week you stop going down in weight, even you start to go up. is normal, when you start to diet, you normally loose a couple pounds in water, yes that water is from water retention from your previous diet.  Just keep on grinding and you will keep loosing weight eventually. Also worth pointing out, the body always tends to stay the same. If your weight is 100 and you start a diet, you body is going to notice that the calories intake is been dramatically reduced, so in order to keep you at 100 kilos is going to slow down your metabolism in order for you to burn less calories. Eventually this is not going to be enough and you will start to loose weight but your body is not going to make it easy on you.     
    • I feel like that video was an incredible waste of time. Because the guy kept saying carry and clearly the device is saying total distance. With carry distance also on there, but he's not calling that out. They when he's comparing it to the Trackman he continues to say "carry", when again the device says total. With his being so inexact in the use of the terms carry and total distances I literally have no idea how accurate or inaccurate that thing is.  I will say the putting was kind of neat. 
    • I watched that video a few days ago. I chuckled at him saying it is so much easier to set up than plopping a GC3 down and turning it on. I love how he did his test hitting AlmostGolf balls, too. 🤦🏼‍♂️ Do I think this is remotely accurate? No. It's measuring ball speed. It's not getting spin or anything like that. Certainly not in dim conditions outside at night.
    • Has anyone tried this? Just came across it.
