Welcome! Tell us a bit about your game. How is it down there in Australia? I hear they like to renovate golf courses non-stop down there, eh?

Well i have been playing for 16 months and finally down to single figures... I was off 16 at the start of the year and my goal was to get down to single figures by the end of the year heh.. I have already done so.. so my goal is now set on winning the club championships at my home club..

I can hit the ball in both ways lol.. fade and draw.. i prefer a straight shot though hehe... I been workin hard on my swing the last few weeks.. doing alot of video work with my coach and at home as well.. Short game is my biggest strength.. any thing inside 80 metres is an up down.. my putting needs a little work at the moment.. its whats letting me down the most.. In the bag is : Nike Ignite Driver - 10 Deg - Reg Shaft Rescue Mid - 2 Iron - 16 Deg Nike Pro Combo Irons - 3/PW Nike Flat Back 60 Deg Wedge Fisher Putter Titleist Pro V Ball I could go on and on about my golf but i guess i will leave it till my next post... ( I tried to upload a .swf file of a fellow aussie scott hend - i have tons of swings on my laptop and like to share some with you ) Cheers..

I've always wanted to travel to Australia. Welcome to the site.

One question, do you have kangaroos hopping around the course? I know it's stupid but I always have people up north (I live in Florida) if alligators walk around on the courses and stuff.

I had to transfer it from swf to gif and the quality is pretty poor because i couldnt upload the normal sized file...

Scott has a weird movement right after impact where he flicks the club...

Ive never sen him swing it before,but...that particular swing looks like he's trying to hit a little "left-to-right" fade into that pin position to me - hence the chopping off of the follow-through across himself and his clubface looks from what i can see to be open.Unless he always does this............... ????

      Best Shot of the Week

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Hole 6, 185 uphill par 3, wind out of the right. I hit a 7 iron to 5-FT left of the pin. The ball landed about 185.5 yards. I drained the putt for a birdie, and most likely a skin.  2nd place is more of a best swing made. 110 yard wedge shot, where I did what I wanted in the back swing and downswing.  I hit a 75% partial wedge 95%. It was flushed, flighted, and beautiful to watch fly over the green. 🤣. I will need to redial in the wedges sometime. Since I am making an effort to make my former 3/4 swing length my full swing length.

      Anyone Else Stick a GPS Tag in Their Golfbag?

      Is that like "the longest yardstick you can find"? I don't have Airtags but I'd call all of them Airtags too.!

      Wind and Putting?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Yea, that makes sense.  I remember an Open tournament when they brought out the wind meter one day because balls were being blown around the green. I think it was 45+ sustained, which probably means 60 mph gusts.  I think for the most part, it isn't something that needs to be taken into account.  Also, a golf ball is designed to optimally move through the air. It has better aerodynamics than a sphere.  Thanks for your expertise on this. That makes sense. I know about how wind diminishes the lower in height you go. I didn't know it went near zero at the ground. I deal more with tall structures (utility poles), and we have to take into account height and impacts of wind on the pole. A bit of experience, but wasn't sure how close to zero, non-impactful it was on the golf ball on the ground.

      Day 2 (7 Aug 25) - More work on tempo with mid-irons, moved to wedges for the balance of the drill.
