For this thread post your "opposite" swing, so if you're a righty, post a swing of yourself lefty. Try to swing as fast as you would normally from your usual side.

Here's Erik and I swinging lefty.  Might be tough to see in high speed but Erik is swinging at a pretty good speed here.  I'm a bit slower If you don't have a lefty or righty club, just flip a wedge over like Erik and I are doing here.

I'll film one at my next range session if I remember. I won't try it in the basement as I'd probably break a couple lamps and put a hole in the drywall if I tried :-P

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Obviously, I'm just kidding, as I am jealous of how good your "opposite" swings are (mostly Erik's - no offense Mike!).  Can't wait to film myself next time at the range and post it here. :)  This thread is going to be mostly hilarious!

I just tried a practice swing in my basement, took me about 7 minutes to figure out how to grip the club LOL. Had to go back and forth a few times to get it remotely like a proper overlap. I'll definitely post one from my next range session. Can't be much worse than my regular swing

I'm afraid I will shank it and kill someone if I try this at the range.

Lol. Yeah me too, scared I'll hit it about 18" fat and snap the sucker in half. The fact that it's upside down does not inspire confidence. :-P

Yeah no offense taken, Erik's lefty swing is really good, seriously think he should get a lefty set and see what he can do.

Doesn't look nearly as goofy as it felt ...

And perhaps I need to work a little bit on my balance ...

And if the video is too shaky, it's cuz the wife was laughing at me while filming. :)

It's also done at about 21 MPH. I guess I'm proud of the fact that my swings are done with SPEED. Dave's… not so much.

Anyway, c'mon guys, let's get some more updates! Where are your swings?!?! :)

I was gonna record one yesterday but my camera battery died. I tried a few just for kicks and man was that ugly LOL. I'll record one at my next range session for sure.

      It's actually the 44 game, you take the best 44 net scores. And yes you are correct, you had to choose how many scores you were going to take before you tee off on the next hole.  The idea is that you don't want to get to 18 and need 4 scores. The other game we played in Scotland with two man teams is we did the modified 2-man stableford format.  The modified portion of the scoring, is that on 2 holes on each 9, both players scores count.  So if it's a tough hole or easy hole, there can be some pretty good swings on the points.  And since it was a net format, the scoring was: Net Par 2 Pt  Net Bogey 1 Pt   Net Birdie 3 pts  Net Eagle 4 pts
