Hi.

My name is Dave, I am a pro golfer, shoot some sick scores and sink some sick puts. I come to you with a question:

How big are your drives?

I hit mine on average in excess of 320 Yards, I enjoy hitting long and accomplish this with a nice easy swing.

Do it big, score small. It's how I play and how I live life on the courses.

Thanks

480 if I really get after it.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Very impressive figures. Downhill, wind with and with the mindset of killing the ball I may make it with you.

Dave buddy we gotta know what's the longest putt you've ever sunk?  a 80 foot putt over a bunker?  Putt out of the water?  Or do all of your approaches just naturally fall towards the hole.  In which case all your putts are tap-ins, because you make some sick iron shots too.

Broski doesn't miss any greens. His game is sick.

I generally dial it back a bit on any holes that run east-west or west-east as I don't want to mess with the earth's rotation.

Good thinking.

Also, I'm careful on courses near fault lines or active volcanoes. Things could get messy.

If my chest is facing the magnetic north(I am hitting a ball westward) I generally launch it off the golf course.  I have never found one of the balls so I don't really know how far they go.  I usually play a 1/32nd provisional gap after that.

edit: Oh and I could be a pro I just don't really feel like it all the time.

I just hit my putter from the tee box. Gotta dial it back if it's a short par 4.

You're getting really good at Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2014.  Do you play it on the 360 or PS3?

That is a good idea.  Keep it in play and just leave yourself a nice chip and a putt from there on in I spoze.

Slice of life makes up for those mediocre birdies on par 4's with his aces on 190yrd par 3's.  He just takes a 1/4 swing flop shot with a lob to get it 205 with a spinback into the hole.

Yeah, can't eagle aaaaaallll of them. Just most.

My 1/4 flop is only 200 though, I've been working on my flexibility by taking hot yoga classes with my Victoria Secret model wife in hopes that I can get there eventually...

    • I guess someone decided to do more work for little benefit then.  I might be the lucky one then. I have a +3 and a +1 on my counted scores. 
    • I've only seen one positive PCC since it began, a +3 during a tournament on a tough, firm course with the wind blowing at least 30 mph. A scratch golfer got so frustrated he pulled out after 9. Sadly, the +3 did nothing for me as I was a good 10-12 strokes above the score counting. Currently 3 of my last 7 scores have a negative PCC. Of course, all 3 of those are in my best eight. I'm puzzled, as the wind was blowing pretty good on at least two of those rounds.  
    • It changed to the best 8 of the last 20, in the 2020 changes.  When I attended a Handicapping Workshop in 2020, we were told that they anticipated that the PCC would apply in about 10% of the rounds.  That's about what I see now, maybe slightly more often since the algorithm was tweaked not long ago.  And remember, the PCC will adjust MOST of the scores on a given day towards the mean.  With a positive PCC (more high scores), most players scores wouldn't be in the best 8/20 even with the PCC, so the impact is nothing, although the few players who had a good day will see the impact on their HI increased.   I believe it will be very rare that a player has even two scores in their best 8 with any kind of PCC.  
    • There was a PCC of +3 at Talamore the day I played in Pinehurst! Somehow that course was killing us all, lol.  If it is still the best 10 out of 20, So, it would amount to .1. It matters more if you end up with like 5 out of 10 of your counted differentials having PCC. That could equal a full stroke.  Yea, I think it will influence handicaps like 0 to let's say 2 for handicaps. 
    • I posted as well, I hope most of us did.  I'm still not sure the PCC system makes a significant difference, but it certainly won't work as intended if golfers don't post on the day of play.
