Of course he is. In keeping with tradition, he fired his hips too early.

Because of the Don's reverse shoulder tilt or right shoulder low? just my guess

Yep, shoulders turn too level. Very "shallow" pivot so the downswing is all about compensating for that.

Trump's swing is ugly, but he makes it work. You have to give grudging respect to a guy that can put up "T" rounds in the 70's on fairly difficult courses. I can stand his personality, but I'll tip my cap to his golf scores....

Some people are just plain genius at golf... I played with players like this totally unorthodox swing with without wrist cork but he could hit great long irons, wierd putting style, reverse arc then straight at hole . He scored like - 3 under from gold tee at one of the championship course in my country which is hard. I'm disgusted honestly.

And he's only played 20 times in the last 5+ years, remarkable that he can maintain that handicap and play so rarely.

It's not like everything about him screams vanity handicapper. He doesn't strike me as the vain type :-)

Tournament Differentials: 4.5, 4.8, (1.8), 5.0, 4.7, 6.0, 1.6, 0.8.

Doesn't look like a vanity capper to me. Unless he's cheating in tournaments....... In which case, he's much worse than a vanity capper!

Joe Traveller (or is it Travellin Joe) from Golf Digest or Golf Mag, cant remember which one reported some time ago that he played with Trump on one of his Calif course (Pelican I think but don't quote me on it) and said he shot 71. His comment was that Trump can just flat out play.

Maybe he spends time on the range hitting balls and making deals.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
