I have been playing golf seriously now for about 3 years.  I am a high handicapier and shoot an average of about 55 for 9 holes and 115 - 120 for 18.  Today in my Monday night league I finally broke the 50 mark with a 48.  I was hitting the ball solidly and putting "straight lights out" as my buddy put it.  I only three putted once and sank several difficult puts to save par and bogey.  The two main highlights were I par'd two holes in a row and hit the pin with my 2nd shot on one hole from 191 yards out.  But the one thing I really am proud of was the way I bounced back from a bad hole.  I took a 8 on a par three but kept my chin up and made par on the next hole and finished with a bogey on a difficult final hole.  When I got into the club house after putting my clubs in my truck everyone in my league congratulated me on a well played round and really made me feel good (I am the last place man in the league and struggle a lot).  It is rounds like this that keep me going and want to get better.

Congrats, it feels good when all those range sessions start to pay off.

Lots of range time, putting at home, and reading.  One of the keys lately is I have been reading a lot of Dr. Bob Rotella.  Now that I am getting "mentally golf fit" my physical skills are coming through.

That's awesome that you didn't let a bad hole get to you. I have seen so many guys games go down hill after one bad hole.

      I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.

      a) No b) This MLR says: I doubt the MLR is going to affect their weekly league games, in other words.

      So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands

      Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
