Guys, lets guess the score of the amateur playing at Torrey Pines. We should do a pool where everyone puts in, say 5 dollars. Whoever nails it on the head wins all the money. The guy is an 8 Handicap. What are your guys thoughts on this? It definitely could work. Losers would paypal the winner 5 dollars.

Well if he does break 100 he will definitely get his 2 minutes of fame. Probably more then that on the golf channel!

which guy did they pick? I read the article but haven't see a follow up yet. I would think at 7600+ yards he scores a 104.

I guessed 109 on Monday in the podcast (published today).

So, here's the list. Just copy and add your name to it. Try to keep it in order (by score) too, okay? Dent - 92 michaeljames92 - 100 Wisco-Kid - 103 Klew - 104 iacas - 109 BigAl5150 - 109 Finn07 - 109 Again, don't quote the list - just copy and add your name in the appropriate position.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By collegefbfan ·

      Yeah.  As far as remaining still, I was thinking body rotates around the spine like an axis.  Instead of pivoting, some like me, sway, come off that axis, leave weight on back foot, etc.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      I apologize on behalf of… idiot men. Sorry about that. Next time, tell the guy to shut up. 😛  Day 553, May 8, 2024 18 holes from the whites with @rwolfe. Windy AF today, but hit some good shots. Slid back a little from where I was the previous two days, but… I can get it back. Made a pretty nifty birdie on 12 from some pretty odd places. 😄

      My Swing (Zeph)

      By iacas ·

      The angles look fine. Get as much light as you can on the area — you want the highest shutter speed you can get. Less blur.

      2024 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Sammydreep ·

      Snap @ Tour Spoon! Birdied 11 yesterday. Hit a poor iron ,stopped on edge of bunker , pitch with my lob wedge landed about 6’ away and went in. Only 12 & 14 to go, long par5’s into the prevailing wind. Might be waiting a while although I did have about 15’ on 12 after the birdie on 11, didn’t miss by much.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By RandyBobbitt ·

      Tested the Maxfli TourS yesterday. Compared to my former ball, the Titleist AVX, I got an extra 10 yards off the driver and half a club (5-7 yards) off the irons. The combined extra yardage from the driver and fairway wood meant that on par-5s where I usually hit an 8-iron third shot, I hit a PW. It's just a smidgen softer than the AVX and seems to spin well. Some of the reviews indicated a low ball flight, but I did not notice it. I also did not observe any problems with the paint quality, which was an issue with previous Maxfli models up to and including the U series.  My previous round I tested the Bridgestone E6, a two-piece ball with a different cover. It was OK; the same distance and feel as the AVX but with less spin.
