"Lowest Score Wins" by Barzeski and Wedzik


Recommended Posts

Has anyone else's cover gotten sticky? I tried washing it with Fantastic but its still sticky. Its both the front and back covers BTW. Is there some kind of varnish or something on the paper that might cause this?

I swear I haven't spilled anything on it that would cause this...

Yeah the cover on mine got sticky, too..  Not a problem or anything, still go back and re-read parts of it from time to time.  I'm due to run through a few chapters one of these days.

I might have to buy another copy. I loaned my first copy to a local course manager/teaching pro. He then loaned it another employee. I finally asked him about it and he said he'll bring it in. They are both good guys - not dishonest, just absent-minded. They both seem to embrace many of the ideas in the book.

It was in the mail box. Thanks Iacas. My weekend reading assignment ?

From my experience, I suggest that you read the book from start to finish.   Then, pick a few items that you can implement easily like flaring both feet out at address, always going for middle of green from 60 yards and out, etc..   As you master those, move on to more advanced, or harder to acquire skills.

I am starting to do the medicine ball drill, what do you guys recommend for number of reps, and frequency for this drill to gain distance?

Depending on your level of fitness, try three times a week. Reps 10 to 20 depending on the weight of the ball..

Cool thanks, I'll start off with 10 three times a week and go up from there. I am using a 8lb ball.

so, this book was suggest and recommended by my swing coach. But it appears that this may be for players that already have their swing together and need the finer points of the game. Heck, I'm still working on the first two keys and trying to just hit the ball better. I was thinking I may be a few years away from needing this. Or am I missing something? Is there somthing here that can help me? I am all for studying and learning.

 

Regards.

Nope. This book is for golfers of all levels.

Then you didn't hit it to 35 feet. :-)

Interesting Tweet from Mark Broadie. So if I'm reading this correctly, the best putter of the best ball strikers win 45% of the time. The best ball strikers of the best putters win 35% of the time. Long game gets more wins.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

    • I agree in general. The one way in which the viewer will notice the pace of play is just that "it's been an hour and Nelly Korda or Scottie Scheffler have only played four holes." Or if for some reason they show a lot of shots of players just standing around when they could be showing golf shots. But I think Andy Johnson said it most recently/best, playing fast is a skill, too. I would love for pro golfers to play faster. You'd see the players you want to see hit more shots in the same time than they do now. So I don't disagree with the pace of play stuff, and hope they can find ways to do it. Heck, the LPGA should leap at the chance to differentiate itself in this way, IMO. So: I stand by what I said in that the TV viewer really doesn't notice much about pace of play. It's rare when they do. I support increasing the pace of play wholeheartedly. But my top five reasons don't include TV ratings or viewership.
    • I don't think the viewer at home can pick up on pace of play, unless the announcers mention something. The telecast has the luxury of bouncing from player to player, which ensures we the viewer always have something to watch.  I think we would notice pace of play if the camera just followed one golfer for an entire round. Or  You were actually golfing behind the slow group Or  The slow group is the last to only group left to finish the tournament.  I like the idea of having a person carrying a digital clock, following each golfer. When the golfer gets to the ball and the group in front of them has cleared they have 60 seconds or they get a penalty stroke. Maybe a second violation is a 2 stroke penalty.  Or as I have said before, every golfer wears a shock collar!!!!! at 1 min 1 second that golfer if going to drop. It will take them a good 30 second to recover, leaving them with another 30 seconds to hit the shot. The course would be littered with golfers just convulsing on fair way from an endless cycle of shocks because they cant seem to hit their ball and keep pace of play. 
    • This isn't the same thing.  This is entirely a time of year thing. Not a trend.  This is the COVID year.  There are many who think the Masters viewership was actually way up. The 2024 ratings being down is only for CBS televisions. It doesn't include anyone (including me) who watched it online. 
    • Ha, I didn't even notice that "NFL competition" part… I just dismissed it on face because pause has very little if any role in TV ratings.
    • Wait a second. That is a bit misleading to drag a 4 year old headline about the ratings when the Masters was delayed during the pandemic. The 2024 ratings were down but not to the extent that this headline would imply. Also, @iacas is correct. Any ratings drop has very little, or perhaps, nothing to do with pace of play.
