Day 28: 1/27/2024

I was up early so I did bead work on my indoor mat in the basement while everyone slept. Then I took out a seven iron and did two kinds of swings in front of the mirror. The first kind where I'm trying to get the backswing right. The second kind where I am trying to get the tempo right. I've been finding that with all of my work on my priority pieces I've been sort of wrecking my tempo. My backswing has become way too slow and then really choppy as I try to speed it up. So, in my range sessions and mirror work for the next few days I'm adding in some work on my tempo. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 32- 1/28/24

Stack training session in Full Speed Spectrum.  Fell short of high speed by several MPH. Voice recognition has been off lately causing some frustration as I keep up with speeds, which was a distraction. Pressed continue when I needed to correct the 235 gram swing for the second round. Cheated myself by a few mph.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
