Congrats! Thats my long term goal, 16 now 7.9, can probably play about 40-50 more years.

Thanks! I'm right there with ya! I will turn 26 in August and plan on playing well into my 80's

Congrats on your achievement! Is the Open qualifier going to be at Legacy Golf Club in henderson?

Thank you! I'm up in the Northern portion of Nevada so my qualifier would be at Genoa Lakes in Genoa, Nevada (south of Reno).

that's just awesome! when's your big break debut?!

You know...I haven't even tried to sign up for the show. How awesome would that be though?!?!

I think I would need a "normal joes" show to be on though. Most of the players they have on there are really good!
Congrats man! That feeling must be astounding!

Yes...yes it is

That's just it...I just got to scratch. Doesn't mean I will stay there

Actually, every time I had an improvement in my long game, I felt as if my putting went bad. I'd get better with irons (and actually hit greens, or hit more greens) and my putt count would go up and I'd wonder why. Then I figured it out.

Excuse my ignorance, but how does the

Congu handicap system differ from the USGA calculations? And thanks to everyone!

Outstanding accomplishment!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks!

Congratulations, my man. What are your new goals, now that you've achieved your old ones?

Good question. I would really like to keep my handicap on the scratch side and possibly even into the "+" realm. I would also like to actually play well in the USGA Qualifiers and my State tournaments. So the current break down would be:

This Year: • Fix my putting. • Play well in the USGA Public Links Qualifier • Qualify for the Nevada State Match Play (for the second straight year) • Win at least two matches in the match play tournament • Play well in the Nevada State Mid-Amateur in Boulder City (basically Vegas) at Cascata Next year: U.S. Open qualifying.
Congratulations! I'm by no means a scratch golfer, but I am a scratch bowler and I remember how good it felt to finally say that. Now the hard part is keeping it there...Good Luck!

I suck at bowling. I'm lucky to average 160

How did you even begin to work out his handicap on the UK Congu system without the course ratings and slopes for the courses in which these rounds were played on?

I'm right there with you. I'd like to know how their system works. And thanks!!

without what you would call the course SSS you cant figure that out.

I'm in Reno. I mentioned in the IRC chat yesterday that we should get a Pacific Time Zone TST get together going...that would be pretty sweet

Oustanding accomplishment! Now for the hard part...keeping it!

Thanks...and I completely agree. I'm kind of dreading the next revision

Congrats!!!

Practice, practice, practice. I know I'm going to have to do the same just to stay where I'm at now...

Sure...I wouldn't mind being on the BB...mostly just to see if the pressure they feel with the cameras on them is as intense as they say it is.

I actually will be playing Cascata this August for the Nevada Mid-Amateur. I've got my nephew to caddie for me down there (walking only!), but it's still going to be pretty brutal. In the State Match play last year in Mesquite, it was 120. Of course, we had carts for that though, so it wasn't that bad. Let's play!! I'm down for anytime and anywhere pretty much over here on this side of the world Wow...that is a lot of quotes Thanks again everyone!

Excuse my ignorance, but how does the

Congu involves all scores, not the best 10, we don't really have slope rating etc, we have 'standard scratch' which changes depending on the nett performance of most golfers, although standard scratch usually goes down due to 20 handicaps shooting 15 over, making it harder for lower handicaps.

How did you even begin to work out his handicap on the UK Congu system without the course ratings and slopes for the courses in which these rounds were played on?

Just did the rough calculations on the assumption the par of the course was 72 (I think, I did it a while ago now)

      I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.

      So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands

      Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
