Sorry Stacy Lewis, but this makes me feel really good. I hit a perfect drive on a par 5 last weekend and had an "easy" 3 wood shot to a nice big green. I was so excited....

...topped it :mad:

Is it just me, or does the ball move forward at 14 sec in. When she places her club behind the ball, it looks like it moves to me. It might just be quality of the video.

Looks like it does, but also looks like it returns back to its original position...just an oscillation.

Nah, it's just the camera moving slightly while she sets the club down. Ball doesn't look like it moves.

I recall a lady's match a while back, but don't remember which one of who did this.  One golfer overshot the green and her ball landed in the tall grass on the far side.  She finds the ball, but it is too tall to hit out of.  She takes a penalty and drops outside the grass.  Her next shot she flops and lands right back in the same grass.

For some reason, I've seen quite a few shanks at the US Open local/regional qualifying, in person, over the years. At the range, from a perfect lie, from crap lies. And a sprinkling of tops.

Is not. I hit a shank just yesterday. It was so easy I didn't even try hitting it.

It's even harder when you shank one, the next hole is a par 3 and the next tee after yours is 45 degrees to your right, right in your shank traj (Tiger Woods speak), you want to tell the tee box folks, hey, I just shanked one, this is a pre-emptive fore.

I shanked two Sunday (in a row), topped my 3 wood twice, a 6 iron and my 3 iron yesterday. Golf is hard. At least I know why I have been doing it...after that I played an extra 9 at 1 over par. I am not sure which is worse the "topper" or the "shank". Probably the shank because it usually costs you a penalty stroke.

Some pros are at least good enough to give themselves a good lie after a shank.

One of the reasons I don't carry a fairway wood.

LOL. And the above shot is the reason I would never be without a fairway wood. If worse comes to worse (and it has before) I can play every shot with a fairway wood (and I have before).

Green-side bunker? :-P

Green-side bunker?

Never got in one when I resorted to that. Mainly because the club I belonged to had no greenside bunkers and the course where I work now has no greenside bunkers.

Since probably over 95% of the golf I've played has been on those two courses I haven't had very many bunker shots anyway.

Funny thing is that when I do have had them I'm very lucky at hitting decent shots out of them considering I don't get any practice at it. Better to be lucky than good. ;-)

Edit: Which reminds me that I have a bunker shot I meant to post in the "Best shot" thread.

You have to love Jason Day's reaction. I hope he has a injury free season next year. Great golfer. Class act.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
