Thanks. She's 14 now. I took her to the cemetery and let her drive the Smart car. I figured anybody she could hit would already be dead. She's been driving carts so long it was totally fine.

Walked 18 today. 17 actually. I got tired of following the "date golfers" and put down a bogey on 18. Shot +10 with no doubles.  P.s. Forgot my Game Golf at home.

Firstly, Low point control is controlling the low point of the swing so that it is in front of the ball's position (while at address) so that you will have a descending blow on the back of the ball.

Played 18 today and shot 92. Tried to just focus on making the shot I needed to make. Drives and irons felt good. Hit some nice draws when I needed it, that was nice, but pulled a few left out of nowhere. Chipping was great, good distances all day long. Was getting more roll than I expected, but dropping them right where I was aiming. Putting was okay except for a few holes where I just couldn't seem to find the hole. ;-)

Played (if you want to call it that) today. Standing on the 9th tee box now behind a line of people. Will probably call it a day.

Ufff. Missed practice yesterday. Traveling from Santiago to Atlanta and spent day with family. Did bring old set of clubs so at least there may be a chance of swings and/a round of golf...we'll see.

Yesterday, on the drive to the lake house, got 10 minutes of practice, isolating shoulder turn and hip turn. No I was not driving!

today, I did 10 minutes of practice swings using a broom. Talk about a whooshing sound! Like the feeling of knowing where club (broom) face was.

11/23: worked on the swing, specifically the right elbow and right wrist, a bit with @david_wedzik today. Pretty straightforward stuff. Still better than last fall, so… improvements continue.

Unexprcted opportunity today to practice. We went to Top Golf, had drinks and played. The swing was not sharp, some slices and a few good shots. Nonetheless, it was golf!

 

Happy T-day all!

I keep forgetting to post. I do stuff everyday.

11/24, some light stretching and shoulder turn feel without a club. I want to feel the shoulders turn fully with my hips staying centered and my right hip going around and slightly toward the target at the top.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
