This piece is a bit of an ad for the analytics company Willett used, and but does have some interesting stat tidbits.

That Guardian article is fascinating. I had no idea that was going on.

I thought he was more of a knowledgeable fan rather than an analyst for pros, but Jake Nichols has an excellent blog on golf analysis.

Does anyone think Spieth would have had a better shot to move in closer to the margin of the creek for the drop and use more trajectory to stop his 2nd shot at 12?

I mentioned it awhile ago. I said maybe the slope was not conducive to it or something - I imagine the slope goes down to the water there. That green is also not terribly deep.

Or maybe worried about moister ground closer to the creek? But it seems that the effect of the downslope on his trajectory from farther out exacerbated the green depth issue versus a closer and more lofted shot.

Dude, your coach gave up on you? Get a new coach! :-D

It's okay, at least he tuned back in.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

    • My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.
    • Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.   
    • No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death. 
    • Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area? 
    • I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
