I don't know what +1 feels like. Never had a bogey.

Wait now I'm really confused.  I'd really like to see what happens with this scale with a 1 ball bucket and no kids watching!!  I'm guessing an infinity yard drive???

You're sick in the head.

I would love to have a 1 on 1, head to head playoff with you. Then we'd see who gets demoted to posing as a ice-cream seller.

Wait, would this playoff be basketball or a long drive contest?  Because I am good with watching either one.

You got weird first. Anyway, the novelty of this thread has more or less played out so...see ya. Congrats on your pending "kick starter" award.

320/10+100 = 132 yards average drive.

What do I win?!?!

No, no no.  I think everyone missed the math on this. Hope this helps:

10 kids

Each one gasps

Each one claps

Estimate average of 8 claps per clapping session after each shot

100 balls in a bucket

So 10 gasps per shot x 100 shots = 1000 gasps.  That was the easy one.

Also, 8 claps per kid x 10 kids is 80 claps per shot x 100 balls = 8000 claps

Of course since we had to estimate the claps, we can never know for sure.  That is something the OP should have been more specific about.  Also, one or more of the kids could have gasped more than once on a given shot - like maybe the 390 yarder. Plenty of time in the air for 2 gasps.  But I think as close as we can reasonably get it is 1000 gasps and 8000 claps.

Hold on, I think all you long hitters are missing the point of golf here...

On a 400 yard par 4, I drive it 400 yards. On a 600 yard par 5, I drive it 600 yards. You have better chances at aces then. I'm currently working on beating my personal best of 14 holes-in-one in a row.

I drive a Mini, so I'd say my drive isn't that big :)

Floris, I've wonder this for a while: did you choose that avatar or was it assigned to you? Either way, it's the bee's knees. You look so happy. :-)

Yours in earnest, Jason.

      What's the case against blasting a driver at the green? I'm guessing it puts the penalty area/fescue too much into play, but if that's just standard rough around the green, there would be a good case for it. If it's not driver, then I agree with your approach. The one thing I would add is to shade your aim towards the bunkers vs. center of the fairway. Hitting out of a bunker is (marginally) better than a penalty drop.

      Yes, if you are gonna layup, then layup. No need to nickle and dime a few extra yards and bring bunker back into play.

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      By retoid ·

      Took my wedges in to get regripped and saw the local store had some leftover Pure grips, was pretty excited to see those still around. Got those put onto my wedges, I love these grips, they have such a great feel to them. Also picked up a brand new (opened and second hand) Cleveland Huntington Beach putter for a great price! About %50 of retail. It had been purchased by someone else who decided to buy a different putter and was never used. I love the feel of it.

      I’m not sure I’m following you. My current plan is to take the bunkers out of play completely and hit something like a 6i to 130-150 range.
