Dang! One more rotation and it would have been mine.
Struck a killer 2nd shot with my hybrid and it just stuck right up next to the pin and I choked!
Oh well, next time! Felt good though for the first time.

I drove the green on a par 4 just yesterday. I continued to 3 putt for par.
So, don't feel too bad.

I did this about 2 months ago. I believe the distance was about the same maybe a 5 footer. I havent seen an eagle putt since.....

I missed a foot bogey putt on the 17th (par 3) in competition today, the only shot I didn't have any focus on and paid the price for it.

Here's a lesson kids, regardless of the apparent ease of the shot, give it your full attention and follow your pre shot routine religiously.

Ha, thanks guys.
Good way to look at it.
I've been on the green a few times for eagle, but so dang far away it never occured to me, basically knowing the chance for holing it was slim, but today, ahh shoulda, coulda, nada!
Felt good, that is for sure. Then the next hole par3, I drilled a 15 footer from the fringe, go figure. Ended up being a decent round of 44, but should have been a 43! :>)

I feel ya. I had a 10 foot putt for birdie. Somehow 3putted it and turned it into a bogey. Didnt know it was possible to 3 putt from 10 feet.

That sucks man. The other day I was on the 18th, a mid-range par 5. I hit my third shot from about 200 out just to just outside the fringe in the rough, about 10 feet from the pin. I proceeded to skull my chip, send it 60 feet from the pin, and 3 putt for a very frustrating double bogey!

I know what its like, I've had several 7 and 8 footers for eagle, all missed. Just had one my last round, a 5w from 224 out and I missed the 7 footer.

      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?

      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.
