Hi, i recently started golfing on a regular basis instead of once or twice a year, so i got myself a nice starter 14 pc set mens golf set - tour mission AM6. I also have all the gear to go along with it i got nike golf shoes, my tour mission glove, towel, hat, shirts, also i have a 7 x 9 x 5 golf practice net and a chipping net along with a 6 x 9 kidney shaped putting matt with two bunkers and three holes. So my question is just right off the top of your head what are some great exercises to do to for golfing and also positions to stand for a stright, fade and draw shot along with what stance for a driver, irons, putters, and wedges. I noticed im very stiff when taking my shots i will produce videos of my shots in slow motion as well to show you. I will do this tomorrow for you all to see and give advice.

Here is some advice that I received and am doing:

1. take lessons - at your local club or online through evolvr. No use practicing if you are doing things wrong and not sure what to do right

2. Post your videos here too

3. Practice at the range/course as much as possible - I go 2-5 days a week.

4. Check out lowest score wins, the book. Its worth $30. I read it a few months ago and am starting to read again.

5. Get a golf analyzer app. You can get them for like $5 and compare your swing to pros. This helps tons with your lessons.

Putter - Ping Anser 2

    • 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.
    • 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.
