I was going to write that I also shot over 73, every round.

Not EVERY round, sometimes it gets too dark and I have to stop after 15

More importantly, what happened to Shorty? I'd have enjoyed his take on the Dalton threads. Lol

Swing looks okay.. 73 from the tips would be hard to believe on a 7200 yard course if 9 iron is only going 140. But yeah I think you can shoot a 73. You have basic fundamentals.. the only thing I noticed was your weight in your follow through with the driver. People like to hate. Go play in a tournament and post your rounds too..

One thing I find crazy is it is almost like people do not believe that a lot of people out there can shoot low 70's.. lots of people can do that. Shooting low 70's from 7000 yards in a tournament is the next step. Then mentally being able to do it in my opinion to close out a round when it means something is the next step. A lot of guys have gorgeous swings out there. especially skinny guys.. hate those guys.

I agree with this 100 percent.

If Kelzzy can come in this thread trying extra hard to pretend he's cool and hip, you should be able to say indubitably with a straight face.

I like using that word, and "poppycock", every so often.

So OP, will you finally concede that your swing is not exactly like TW considering that no one came in here saying HAI THAT'S JUST LIKE TIGER WOOOOW. btw where are some good quality videos of your swing if you are interested in improving etc.

IDK I've been working on my swing, but i had to take some time off from golf cause I got really sick. But I'll be uploading higher quality vidyas.. I got a new phone so I'll post soon.

I just looked up the course in Chico through NCGA's website and the OP said he shot 73 after only 3 weeks of practice following a 5 year layoff, freaking 147 slope, I'm beyond impressed, I'm a 4.9 right now so about the same index and the best I ever did at my course from the tips was 79 at a slope of 142 and the rating is higher at mine 74.5 versus 73.5 at his. I don't know kid if your just trying to impress a bunch of older guys or try and get under some peoples skin but some of the assertions you make at times are a bit lofty.

>inb4 shitstorm of sandtrappers visiting my CC..

>mfw you can't get in cause it's a CC

>tfw

:D But if you are in Chico, I'd be glad to play a round with you.. you just have to pay $40 i think to play as a guest.. or is it $10? Idk, but I'd play you as long as you're not a 40-year old creeper or something like that.

    • Because of the 68.4-72 part. If he shoots 10 over par (his course handicap), he will have shot his index. You don't factor par in when you calculate the differential, but you do when you calculate the course handicap. That's where the difference comes in. It works symmetrically: guy shoots 82 and gets a 12.4. Guy plays off a 12.4 and… has to shoot 82.

    • I'm the commissioner of a golf league and am often asked about why someone's handicap is this or that or why it's going down or why it's not going up. Those kinds of questions can easily explain but this one has me struggling to come up with a logical answer. I understand the formulas to calculate the course differential for individual rounds, the handicap index that results after averaging the best 8 differentials of the most recent 20 rounds and finding the course handicap for an individual round. What I don’t understand is the logic. Here’s an example: Suppose a golfer plays the same course all the time. Let’s say it’s a Par-4, the Course Index is 68.4 and the Slope is 124. If someone shoots an 82, assuming no adjustment, the differential for that round would be (82-68.4) X (113/124) =12.4. Let’s further assume the average differential of his best 8 rounds is also 12.4. Now, if he goes back to that same golf course, his Course Handicap will be 12.4 X (124/113)+(68.4-72) = 10. I understand the math...that's pretty simple. I don’t understand the logic. Why aren’t they the same?
