So the bogey rating is 100.8. So 110 seems about right...  Take the blow-up holes out... He probably shoots about 100-102... Or plays to his course handicap, he'd still shoot 100. (Techinically 99.4 but there isn't .4 of a stroke it's either a stroke or it isn't).

I'm a 7.3 or 6.8 depending on who is doing the slope rating of my course. My course handicap would 9 either way but I'd probably shoot in the 90s.

I was just hoping to prove the math wrong for once. IMG_0332.PNG

74.4 142. He had a 12 on a par 4 and a 10 on a par 5. Other than that he was 50-60 yards shorter off the tee and played for double bogey at worst. Took 4 hours and 20 mins. Hit driver on every par 3 and somehow got them to stop on the green. He laid up from 130 on 18 just to be an asshole about it then 3 putted for an 8. 

Shorter than what? His usual drive? Your drive?

First, @kpaulhus, thanks for starting the thread and keeping us up to date. Having a slightly higher HC than Ben, it was interesting to me.

I guess I have a lot to learn about the HC system and course ratings. I'm still not sure how some of you were so confident Ben would have (or at least should have) won the bet so easily. But you were right.

All I could do is go by my game which is so wildly inconsistent that shooting above 120 on this course seemed very possible - if not likely.

How much $$ did the "20" win?  With all the noise about this demonstration, it should have been quite lucrative.

Well, it cost him $140 to walk my course, and he won $150, so he got a free round and a beer on the 3 of us that bet him.

    • Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃
    • Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.  
    • Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface.
