One birdie, one bogey, 16 pars. Shot even 72.

Had a really fun round. Could've easily been a 78 or an 80 but I was on fire getting up and down on missed greens.

My last round was an 84 which is my average score. The weather we have in Georgia the past couple of months has been either really cold or wet, so scoring in the 80's is decent golf. My handicap goes up in the Winter about four points. Myself and a few other hard core seniors tough it out however the scores reflect the weather, not usually up to our normal pretty weather standards.

74 at the Heritage in Westminster. Could have gone real low as I missed 5 birdie putts inside 10 feet.

Well needless to say the weather has kept me off the course for a while. The last time I played was not a good outing. I shot 89 at Old Silo in Mt. Sterling ky. I was trying to work on getting a little more shoulder turn but it seemed to throw off my timing. I guess it would have been a better idea to work on this on the range. In all any day on the course is a good one. I can't wait to get back out.

well i've been traveling on business overseas, and it's winter time so not a lot of time to practice etc etc. shot 96 in Jan before the trip, then 108 on Thursday. need to get back to the range and work out those fat from that German Schweinshaxe!

Last round of the year was Oct 18, and it was one of my best. Shot 74. It is bittersweet though because it is a good feeling, but I have to wait until spring 2010 to play again. Kind of hard to sustain the momentum over the course of the winter!

Shot 87 (on 131/71.9 course) in 42 *F weather. It was 26 *F when we tee-off at 9 AM. Had four-layers of clothing on top. The greens (as you can imagine) were frozen marble tops. Could not stop anything on the green. Had one triple and one quadruple bogey (that's 7 strokes in two friggin holes!

I have been working on my driver the past couple of weeks and it paid off. Hit 10/14 fairways with one just off the fairway.

Can't wait until the weather warms up. I am hoping to lower my handicap to about 5 or 6 this year. I hated practicing before, but now I see the benefits and have begun to actually like practicing on the range.

Finally broke 80. Shot a 75 at Fossil Trace yesterday before the winter weather came in. Best round of my life so far. Normally I shoot in the mid to high 80's. Can't wait for the snow to go away again.

too embarresed, but as you can see my handicap is 50+. meaning Im around 120 - 130. Actually shot a 100 one day, 45 and 55 on each 9, but it was an easier course, no water etc. Still was good but Im back to my regular handicap

Played yesterday on a cold day and wet course. Our group of guys played a scramble format just for fun. Four vs four. We shot -8 vs -7 for our opponents. Not too bad considering my partners couldn't hit a drive past 175 yards, but they were all in the 72-75 age range. I was the young buck at 55.

Good thing I played yesterday as it rained last night and temps are dropping like a rock. High's the rest of the week around 40 and might snow Friday.

    • In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.     
    • Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before? 
    • I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.  
    • Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.
