    With some practice and fixing your driver swing, your ceiling is a lot higher with longer clubs in your bag. Imagine with 5 iron off the tee you are hitting a 7 iron into a hole, then after driver you might be hitting a PW. You would be closer to the green to start, potentially can hit a better and closer shot to the hole and have more options available to you off the tee. It is a no-brainer that you should definitely have the driver in your bag, though you should practice with it to ensure you are hitting it well

    Day 14: Worked on pitching with 54* wedge, and then partial wedge swings with GW and PW.

    Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.

    Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.

    That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.

    This is the part I don’t get. He’s not even kind of sandbagging, he’s blatantly doing it and submitting scores that are verified to be incorrect. How he’s not banned from competition is beyond me.

  15. davidgolfman
    He's right in what he's saying.I also have done this experiment with a golf shaft swinging with one arm at a time.one arm at a time is for me very fast but both hands together are very slow ..I got my 17 year old son to do this experiment and he swung very fast with either hand and he swung very fast with both hands together..My conclusion up to now is ; I'm not using my wrists properly but I not a 100 percent sure just yet..I will keep trying to fathom this out .I'm a 12 handicap and my son is 3.9 at Westlancs..

    Day 120: 4/25/24 Full Speed Spectrum training session. Low energy today and my speed was lower than normal. Will see what I can do on Saturday.

    Day 541, April 25, 2024 Ten minutes after lessons. Still not caught up, but should be by tomorrow evening.

    Playing irons only may lead to some short-term gains, but you'll want to at least practice with the driver if you ultimately have some decently good goals.

    He plays from 68.3 / 124. A combo tee setup of normal mens and seniors. I play from 69.7/127. He left after taking a triple on 14 and then leaving. Which plays to what I think his plan is, He doesn’t stroke on 14 but would have to take bogey for non completed holes on the way in. Maybe that’s giving him too much credit, but he found a way to add 4 shots to his score over three holes so…. I looked up his last 20 rounds in GHIN and he has a lot of rounds at easier courses (rating and slope) that are higher than his normal rounds at home. Since I mostly have his front nine score during the match (36) to go on, he has three nine hole scores at our course posted that are 41-43. I wrote the whole thing up to the head of our golf association who runs all the tournaments. Our pro is not involved officially in the tournaments because the golf associations are separate from the club. He’s pretty well known for this, however I was pretty shocked at how well he played carrying a 15. I think eventually they will do something, a lot of people have complained. The golf association threw someone out a couple of years ago and it was a three month situation where the guy retaliated. They probably are hesitant to go thru anything like that again. That is a rather crazy story I might post about later.

    I don't like water. I mostly have various hot drinks and put sugar in them. Bad I know but I don't like tap water. If I go to the gym I drink bottled water and end up running to the loo like someone else said. I know I should drink water but it's just not very nice. Apparently dogs have taste buds for water and they like it. I don't think people like it as much as animals do.

    When - time of year? If in summer, it is best to avoid DV. But detouring to Death Valley on the way to LA will add 3-4 hours to your drive time plus stops.

    Yesterday. Shot a 38/40-78 on a par 70. Story of the day: nothing worse than a bogey. Unfortunately, I had a 3 putt on the 18th. Ugh...

    I'm with @Ty_Webb at about 40 yards. I've got distances down for 4 positions for 4 wedges: waist, low-rib, chest, and shoulder (those are the feels for how far back I'm going, not totally accurate actual take back distances) for lob, sand, gap, and pitch. My "waist" high full pitch shot goes 38-40 yards. From there in I'm going totally by eye and feel for my 60˚ or my gap wedge, depending on whether I want a high shot or a low runner. I find I hit better all the way out to 75 yards or so by kinda pretending I'm going by feel though. Like, I use my distances to get an idea of about how far back my backswing should go. But then in my mind I'm acting like I am from short range, where it's just see my landing spot, hit it to my landing spot.

    Day 113 - Did a Stack Return to Form workout, which went better than expected.

    April 25, 2024. Day 42. Played 9 at a new, really nice, 9 hole par 3 course. My ball striking was overall poor, but my short game and putting were better than last week and I managed to post a decent score (for me). Spent some time after the round playing around with putting and chipping on the green. I will be playing here more often.

    I'm a 20+ handicapper. New to me 9 hole, par 3 course close to work. Much nicer than the other one I play. I shot +8, despite terrible ball striking and only lost one ball on the last hole when I hit a hook that also went too long. The course also wasn't mapped in my Golf Pad app so I was guestimating distance and club. Great practice, lots of fun, and happy with my short game.

    I would typically use my rangefinder from outside about 40 yards. Inside that I'll go by sight. I think the difference there is from say 60 yards, I'm generally expecting the ball to stop fairly close to where it lands. From 30 yards, I'm thinking more about where I want to land it to have it move the right way after that. That could be as close as 10 yards away or even potentially less if there is some interesting land between my ball and the hole. At that point it's more of a "I want to hit it to there" with there being close enough that the visual is good enough. From 60-70 yards, I'm trying to land it pretty much by the hole, so it matters quite a bit more how far away it is. If I'm not landing it by the hole I'm more thinking I want to fly it 5 yards short so it can bounce up or something like that.

    I am a huge numbers guy and if a number can be applied to something, I want to know what it is. Even in golf, I will pace off short chips as I have a 10 yard, 20 yard, and 30 yard shot whereas I take the club back a certain distance for each. I have heard the comparison to basketball players that they do not know their exact distance to the basket, they just use their eye sight and adjust which I know a lot of golfers do as well when within a certain distance to the pin. My question is, what is that distance for you? I was at the range today and was hitting wayward balls to a flag that I had no idea what it's exact distance was, I estimate that I was at times as close as 40 yards and as far away as 70 yards. I was amazed at how accurate I was having not known the distance to the flag. Temps me to not use my range finder within say 70 yards and go by look and feel. What say you?
