So what club do you hit from 100 yards? 85? How many GIRs? How many putts per GIR? Fairways hit percentage? Up and down from inside 100?

ok bud, yep, just cuz i started deadlifting i am not a serious bodybuilder. FALSE. just cuz u dont do one exercise doesnt mean anything, granted its one of the big three of weight lifting but i never felt the need to do it cuz i made good gains without it. and o yea 185 isnt impressive, until i tell u that my bodyfat is under 10%, so plz dude gtfo

You said you had "dedication to a weightlifting program." That is obviously a lie because no weightlifting program will exclude deadlift. Simple fact. And yes 185 isn't impressive at all. A close friend of mine is 210, 5'11", starting middle line backer, maxes over 500 in deadlift, and over 400 in squat, and these are last years numbers. He isn't big enough to play football in a D3 school. Not impressive.

You need to grow up a little bit. Stop lying on the internet and go make some friends.

I have finally determined that this is a joke.

My definitive proof: No real person would actually write out the word "brah." One might speak that way, but they wouldn't write it. It requires one more letter than simply typing "bro."

The author is just trying to sound that way to enhance his character's image. Well done.

Yes, this is one of my biggest problems, i do have a sand wedge that i use from 120-130 yards and in (use my Pw from 130 to my posted distance and just throttle back) although i have not mastered these shorter wedge shots. i can get them on the green but my distance control is lacking. just need to practice more. it will come. and as for stats i just started keeping them so like I cant really tell u but all i know is putting is bad, and greens are pretty good and fairways are average.

on Teeing up with Tiger, he was pretty exact that his SW is 115 (or was it 114?) And that's much more recent info that the cited thread.

As far as this thread..... the OP doesn't have the proper mentality to have a career turning pro.

not bad..your 280 carry distance is only 14 yards behind Phil Mickleson's average driving distance, and he's 20th on Tour this year.

you're a joke, a real crock of s@#t.

It makes for a very entertaining forum though. I see it all the time on the range at demo days "On average, I drive 280". Put the guy on the launch monitor and boom, the guy can't get it out past 255, 260 tops.

yep, keep trying to make urself feel good dude, it is unfricking believable. just cuz u cant hit the ball far doesnt mean u have to knock people that can. and i have hit drives over 320 yards rolling so dont tell me what i can and cant do.

I see vanity is a general personality trait and not JUST why you lift weights.

Honestly, I wasn't thinking of you in the slightest until I mentioned the OP. My issue with you is your mentality. And that has nothing to do with wedge distance. The wedge distance comment was directed at the posted yardages. Meaning, that at least one of those distances is no longer valid. I don't even know why they were posted to begin with because I haven't kept up with the middle of this thread. Truthfully, I still don't understand what's so hard about golf. I had 3 birdies the other day in a round and I've only been playing a handful of months. I don't yet understand why it's "so hard" to become pro. I'm slowly learning things that maybe hint at the reason... but I still believe golf is a very easy sport. So I definitely don't put the pro's on a pedestal. THAT SAID, I grew up a tennis player. And until I reached the higher level of the sport, I did not understand what was so hard or impressive about the touring tennis pros nor what was so hard about tennis. The more you can do personally, the more you realize how much and how much better the pros do everything. It was an epiphany. I 100% believe that soon enough, once I get better at golf I will have the same realization with this great sport. If that never happens, you can expect to see me touring as a pro. So until that time comes, I dream on.

There are a lot of golfers I know who have had a bad day if they don't break 90.
These are not particularly good golfers. You have never broken 90.
You want people to tell you that you have the potential to play as a pro.
At the moment, it would see that you would have average ability and have made average progress for someone who hasn't played for very long.
The fact that you focus on distance rather than anything else shows taht you know nothing about golf.
Like I said before, read "Tales from Q School" It might make you realise that even if your handicap was +4, in many circles you'd be considered a wannabe.
Learn some manners, enjoy your golf and have a reality check.
At the moment you are probably not in the top 3 million golfers in the U.S.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

    • First off please forgive me if this is not a proper post or not in the proper location, still learning the ropes around here. Second, it's important that I mention I am very new to the game with only about 10 rounds of golf under my belt, most being 9 holes. Only this year have I started playing 18. That being said, I am hooked, love the game and am very eager to learn and improve. To give you an idea of my skill, the last 2 18 rounds I played were 110 and 105. Not great at all, however I am slowly improving as I learn. Had been having bad slicing issues with the driver and hybrids but after playing some more and hitting the range, I've been able to improve on that quite a bit and have been hitting more straight on average. Irons have always come easier to me as far as hitting straight for some reason. Wedges have needed a lot of improvement, but I practice chipping about 20-30 mins about 3-5 times a week and that's helped a lot. Today I went to the range and started to note down some distance data, mind you I am averaging the distances based off my best guess compared to the distance markers on the range. I do not currently own a range finder or tracker. From reading some similar posts I do understand that filling gaps is ideal, but I am having a some issues figuring out those gaps and understanding which clubs to keep and remove as some gaps are minimal between clubs. Below is an image of the chart I put together showing the clubs and average distances I've been hitting and power applied. For some reason I am hitting my hybrids around the same distances and I am not sure why. Wondering if one of them should be removed. I didn't notice a huge loft difference either. The irons I have are hand me downs from my grandfather and after playing with them a bit, I feel like they're just not giving me what could potentially be there. The feel is a bit hard/harsh and underwhelming if that makes sense and I can't seem to get decent distances from them. Wondering if I should be looking to invest in some more updated irons and if those should be muscle backs or cavity backs? My knowledge here is minimal. I have never played with modern fairway woods, only the classic clubs that are actually wood and much smaller than modern clubs. I recently removed the 4 and 5 woods from my bag as I was never using them and I don't hit them very well or very far. Wondering if I should look into some more modern fairway wood options? I appreciate any feedback or advice anyone is willing to give, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn! Thank you.  
    • I would think that 3 in a row with the same players might get some behind the scenes examination from the SCGA if they were suspect.  Are there any clubs questioning the results?
    • What simple fact? A golf match is not a coin flip — there is a fact for you. I'm trying to help you, and you're throwing out what could easily be called sour grapes. Come with FACTS, not weak analogies. Then you've got nothing. Hopefully they've done a better job of making their case. 😛 
    • It's pretty close. The odds of a 50/50 shot going your way 21 times are greater than 1 in a million!  I guess your point is, that simple fact is not enough to declare these guys dirty rotten sandbaggers. I disagree, but fair enough. I posted it here on the message board to get different perspectives, after all.  I probably won't be digging further into specific scores. I have no dog in this fight beyond a generalized contempt for sandbagging. With that said, it would not surprise if a lot of clubs shared my concern and were grousing about it to the SCGA.
