My goal is to get that good one day. Its taken me 10 months to go from a 19 to a 9, but I think it is going to take me a little longer to get to a 3.

Well, that's quite an accomplishment in that short of time. Like you said, the better you get the more difficult you'll find that it is to continue lowering your handicap. It's taken me 23 years to get the point that I'm at now and I didn't even have my first under par round until about three years ago. I've only had one under par round this year though which surprisingly was my very first time out this year. The rest of my season... not so great. lol. Needless to say, I've been upset quite a bit this year.

I've had 4 or 5 rounds under par, two of which I was 2-under.  The only one in competition came in our Senior Club Championship two years ago, a 36-hole stroke play event.  As a 5 or 6 handicapper,  I

FYI- for those that don't know, there's a site achievement you can request, if you've shot under par. The achievement shows up on each of your posts at the bottom. https://thesandtrap.com/awards/

I never have but it's one my goals for the year. I came close this past Thursday. I was two under after twelve and then went bogey, bogey, double. The double was bad luck; the wind must have caught my 7-iron on a 175 yard par 3 because it flew the green. So, it went unplayable, chip and two putt. Walking to the next tee box, I thought, no big deal; birdie, birdie, birdie will get you to your 69 (it's a par 70 course). As it turned out, I went birdie, birdie, par for an even 70.

I have shot under par 4 times in the last three since I have been playing again. 3 under, 2 under and two 1 under scores. I have also shot even 5 times. It takes a lot of focus and a little bit of luck in my opinion to get around the course under par.

I was -2 under going into 17 one time....then proceeded to double 17 and bogie 18. I started thinking about being under too much and it cost me. Other than that, a 72 is the closest I have been and even that was a 36/36. I think I was around a -4 at that time.

Been under par for 9 holes, but never for 18. Best ever 9 was just last September when I shot a 3 under par 33 on the front 9... was still 3 under through 11, but played bogey golf from there to finish at 76. Almost 20 years ago I stood on the 18th tee at -1.... made a triple bogey to finish at 74. Lifetime best 18 is one over par 73.

I shot under twice, -3 and -1 for 18 holes. next best scores is par for 18 holes and par for 9 holes including starting with a double bogie and a couple birdies and a hole in one in the last hole. But, again the last time I played 18 holes, I shot 90 after not playing for 2 weeks and trying a new swing.

The first time I ever shot under par I was about a 4.5. Seems to be a pretty common hcp to do it.

-2 for 9 holes once -- only time I have ever shot even par or better for 9 holes (even when playing 18). +2 for 18 once (+1 on both sides). The funny thing is, I think I have played better than either of those rounds on numerous occasions. It's just those were the rounds when every putt inside of 10 feet was dropping. No wonder the pros do so well.

I was 3 under with 3 to play and managed to go, bogey, double bogey, birdie, to shoot even par, that was 10 years ago and I haven't been any closer than 3 over for 18 since.

I hate to be picky, but your math doesn't quite work out.

      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.
