Newbie here. Glad to see a great site and hope to contribute in the future. I'm a transplanted northerner (PA) that followed the good weather down to wonderful North Carolina.

Yeah, I have been wanting to take a golf vacation to North Carolina to be honest. Also, it is U.S. Open time almost, and Pinehurst is one of my favorites.

Anyway, have fun here and welcome. You will enjoy your time at The SandTrap no doubt.

Thanks Cody. You'll hate me when you hear this...

I'm going to Myrtle this weekend to play Caledonia, True Blue and TPC @ Myrtle Beach. When I get back, I'm going to the Open Wed, Thurs and Saturday. My anniversary is on Sunday, so I'm sparing my wife that day. I'm only 1 1/4 hours from Pinehurst, so I don't have to worry about accomodations...just travel!

    • 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.
    • Day 151 1-11 flow work today. I've been doing all pause work, so Inwanted to get some rhythm going. Recorded.
    • 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.
