I'm likely somewhere around a 17-20 handicap. I've never actually held one, but plan on starting next season. I think the difference between myself and a 10 handicap is huge, and if I was asked, I'd say ball-striking was likely the biggest factor. 

 

Fast forward to tonight as I go through the GG insights...and I see this little gem...

 

Approach and off the tee I'm almost dead on with a 10 handicap, and my short game is killing me. I always thought my short game was decent for a 20, and my driver and irons killed me. Data says otherwise lol

FWIW, GAME GOLF consistently shows high strokes "lost" putting values. I charted a round of one of my players this weekend. GG said he lost 4.79 strokes putting to a scratch golfer. Comparing the player to PGA Tour numbers says he lost… 3.13 strokes putting.

Those 1.66 strokes are even larger when you remember you're comparing a PGA Tour player to a scratch golfer (by comparing them to the same player).

GG's putting stats are suspect. @RandallT and I continue to talk with them about it.

Is your comparison to "total rounds played" or are you showing stats for a single round/comparison?

Still very impressive on driving and iron play.  :beer:

Yes. GG says the I lose strokes to a 10 handicap primarily in Approach shots (which I believe) and a close second in Putting (which I don't believe).

Total rounds played. 

Thanks, and it's interesting to see that others have the same type of putting data.

This is cool because I just look at the comparison v scratch, but looking at the 10 HC makes me feel a bit better about my game.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
