shot a 82(+10) for 18 holes today. best round ever. it's actually only a 9 hole course, but I played it twice in a row.

so if my calculations are correct, i'm a 10 handicap and ready to go pro!!

age: 29
age started playing: 28
age started playing seriously(more than a couple times a year):2008
swing:totally self taught never had a lesson in my life.
height: 6'0
weight 195
squat: 315 lbs
deadlift:295 lbs

2008 was when i really started playing more. i played probably 8-10 times that summer (once a week on average) and now Im starting to play again about once a week)

typical yardages:
driver:280 carry
3 iron:230
9 iron: 170

potential? u think i got a chance to make a career or no? But let me also tell you that I hit a 3 iron PURE!



Oh and I'm a nuclear engineer major ready to drop out and go PRO!

c'mon guys, I want to see 35 pages of posts BRAHS!!

this is hilarious, i love it.

I think you are ready, I shot an 89 yesterday for my 3rd time out and this game is so easy I think I'm going to dedicate my life to it and just win the Masters next year. I hit it 300+ with every club so how hard can it be?

How can your handicap be a 9 if your best round ever is a 82? Dont get me wrong though 82 is great for only playing for a year.

You have some serious distance in the masters a lot of pros were hitting 7 from 170 and you could hit 9.

Man, I wish I had that kind of distance.

yeah BRAH, you can do it!!! but i thought you only played 9 holes and then doubled that score to come up with your handicap? i know you prolly would've shot the same 41 on the back 9 since thats what most golfers do (shoot the same score on both 9's).
hehe. that thread was hilarious

Yeah I admit, I wasted a weeks worth of skimming through hundreds of posts, but it was well worth it in the end. Good laughs.

I've tried to register several times but it said the registration was blocked. Since I live in the same city as 804 golfer I wanted to chime in on that. The course he plays is one of the easiest around and back when I played it I always came away feeling good about myself. The course never plays to the yardage (if the tees are in the right place to begin with) and those 30+ pages just kept cracking me up. I'm just glad to be in the same area as the guy, we're a whole lot better off around here.

Oh and I can hit a 9 iron 170 brah!

You have the potential to be a writer of fictionial stories.

I seriously think that you can be a scratch golfer within 1 1/2 years and if you work hard, hone your golf skills you can be ready for the Champions tour.

Brahs, I shot 42 (+7) over nine holes this afternoon. Sign me up for at least the Nationwide tour, brosef. I've only been playing golf for 72 hours.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
