I didn't like how a lot of the questions and answers were phrased, nor the options.

I got a 34, but I don't know what that number even means.

I got 30. Like some other people have mentioned, I'm not sure what this was supposed to mean or what impact it has on my golf game. Are they suggesting that I'm no good because I'm not "gritty" enough? Is that like saying I need a better "mental" game?

It means you are a quitter and a pathetic excuse for golf....J/k! It means nothing. Just people have  different temperaments and ways of learning or accomplishing the same objective. I don't see how this test means anything at all about golf. It may identify passive vs aggressive personalities at best.

36. I wouldn't call it a very accurate test though. I don't see how pre shot routines or a lesson makes you gritty

Four more points for having a coach. :hmm:

Nothing wrong with having a coach but I know some people with coaches that have no "grit" whatsoever.

30 for me, which is lower than I expected, but maybe more realistic than I know.  Bad weather doesn't bother me, I actually kind of relish it, course is empty and no pressure, if you play bad you have an out.  After 40 years of golfing, I have my "natural" swing, no amount of practice or teaching will get me to scratch.  When I'm not hitting the ball well I score, very unlikely, not that it hasn't happened, it is golf, everything happens, but the odds of scoring well definitely go down when I don't hit the ball well.

44. Very surprised.

I thought if anything, I'd get dumped on for practicing what I'm lousy at and saying a pre-shot routine is why rounds take 5 hours. :-D

But I've absolutely played some of my best rounds when I hit the ball like crap, and love to be losing big time going into the back nine. That, and I seem to putt better under pressure than when it's a 4 footer with no purpose.

If only my handicap reflected it... :doh:

Your score: 32

1) Practice what I am lousy at. Though that is weighted towards ball striking. So I could easily have put, play it by ear. They are very similar answers in my opinion because both are predicated on how you are playing.

2) Streaky player, not consistent enough around the greens to really keep my score stable if I am missing greens. So I have to bet on a very good ball striking day, or an absurd putting day.

3) With a sub 30% scrambling, nope

5) It doesn't bother me to be down in a match. It can be a good motivational tool to help with focus. I really do find it fun to make a comeback. Its fun to chase down a leader.

6) I put suffering, just because I am my own harshest critic. Some times it is a learning experience, especially if it revolves around game planning. It's suffering when it just keeps hammering the same shortfalls over and over.

10) Lousy weather, it happens. It's golf, it's an outdoor sport, weather happens.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By StuM · Posted

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
