HA thats what tom watson used to say after pounding balls on range. i wish i had 10 cents for every time i said that.
i think i got it.
i consistently started the swing using all upper body. i think i have it, is this feeling?
staying very loose from the hips up, as you get to the top of the your back swing you are trying to propel the club through the ball by using your weight shift from the right to the left foot while keeping your arms tension free and letting the club fall right down to the ball. no attempt to hit it just trying to whip it through by using the weight shift.
thoughts?
this game is crazy!!!

Congratulations, but if you find that you really don't have it, then try the Master Key instruction that I have been posting about. I "got it" about 8 months ago, using that instruction, and I still have it. Now if I just had two good eyes to read greens with...oh well.

Congratulation from me too. I also use my upper body to pull my lower body during back swing. Then use my lower body pull everything back down in downswing. One thing I really pay attention to is my Balance. I make sure I am in Balance back and through. That's all : )

That's how I do it also.... after 3 years of being an upper body hitter!!!!

I learned a while ago however to never say "I got it". As soon as I did....... I would lose it.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
