I'm not even sure I'd want to be standing behind him, as great a player he is. Also water is in play.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

With water in play i'll probably pass! Without water, I think I would try it, though I doubt i'll get the same result, that was a great shot!

I've tried shots like this in the past.   I believe the odds are favorable to make it successfully.

You can bet your bottom MF dollar I am taking that shot.  2,000,000,000% certain.  Bad idea but I'm doing it.

With a helmet...you bet.  Otherwise no.  I'm not taking one off the onion for one stroke on the card.

My answer was yes before I opened the thread.  Now that I've opened it, I wonder what kind of sick weirdo wouldn't try that shot.

In match play I would give it a shot rather than punching out to somewhere with an opening.  That said, I would fail most times to reach the green and would likely wind up wet.

I'd definitely try to pull off that shot. 

I would definitely NOT try to pull off the white belt he's wearing. 

Skinny young guys can pull off the white belt, full figured fellows or older guys should avoid the white belts like avoiding the white stakes.

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

no, white belts should be used to indicate people that need help reading color coded signs, or those that should be served leftover beans from mid-level restaurants.  Perhaps as a punishment of some kind.

He was already +5, nothing to lose. If he was a shot up or down from the lead, I wonder if he makes the same call. Of course to him I'm sure it looked wide open....these guys are good...….

    • Maybe not different but more concise and with data to better explain the issue. I think it aids both the instructor and student as it can be interpreted as technical as each person wants. 
    • Day 320: worked on putting with the yardstick drill for a while. Checked set up in the mirror as well, and it was pretty solid. 
    • Truer words have never been spoken, as I am seeing tonight 😅. I hope my ignorance did not come across as arrogant… Definitely true, however there was also a pro present, albeit not trained in GEARS specifically as would be necessary. I am certainly learning a lot (as I hoped I would). I am not here to challenge the accuracy or significance of any data, as I did find it interesting how it objectively showed my swing. What I am wondering is if an expert teacher trained in GEARS was shown a swing with and without GEARS, would the pro come to a different conclusion using GEARS versus "traditional methods," genuinely curious.
