Day 422, December 26, 2023

Got downtown at 8:30, left at about 1:15. I didn't practice the whole time, but I did for most of it. Mostly full swing, and then recorded a few chipping things.

Day 1: I practice putting every day, but have not had results transfer to the course where I always revert to the claw grip. Given that, I have been only using the claw in practice. Tried to do a Stack putting session, but the app kept telling me I missed the first putt. Gave up on the 10th hole. That said, I was performing at a lower level than other practice sessions.

Also had a Stack speed session earlier in the day. Finished at 113 on a max swing, which is this training segment’s high speed.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
