A good player can still work a GI iron.

Ummm thats not a par 5...

I don't see how I was wrong...barely keeping his card guy was +4.3, and I said expect the tour players to be +4 or better... Also, there was a calculation for tiger from his home course that showed a double digit cap.

Although this player shouldnt have needed a ruling on a yellow stake, adding a limit will never happen on the PGA tour because the players would be stupid to put themselves in a position where one day they could lose hundreds of thousands of dollars or more because they cannot call a rules official, and their interpretation of the rules does not match the commitees.

For me to get to a +4 I'd have to dedicate a rediculous amount of time to practice. I have other aspirations so most likely I'll never get there, though

I'd say minimum of +4 to even think of turning pro full time if you want to make a living.

I think your perception of a 2capper is quite wrong. A 2capper is a decent Publinx player, plays in State Opens, maybe USGA events (if under 1.4 USOPEN qualifiers). If you meant +2, then you are a top amatuer at the state level, play in the local USGA events, and such. You may be able to turn pro and play some small minitours at +2, such as hooters tour. Expect a PGA player to be +4 or better. Tiger has been calculated to be anywhere from +10 to +13.

I play a similiar setup: Titleist 905T 9.5* w/bore through Grafalloy Blue S-290-310+ Maltby Troubleout 3 Wood 13* with a 1.5" tipped Aldila NV S Shaft +.5"- 275 Cleveland HALO 16* #1 Hybrid with a tipped s300 steel Shaft - 255 TM RAC LT w/ Rifle 6.5 Shafts 3 Iron - 235 4 Iron - 225 5 Iron - 210 6 Iron - 195 7 Iron - 175 8 Iron - 165 9 Iron - 150 PW 47* - 140 Titleist Vokey Oil Can 52* - 130 Ping Eye 2 Lob Wedge 60* - 110 My irons are gapped kinda oddly, i need to have them checked and adjusted. I play at just under a 2 hdcp. I really like my bag setup right now. The #1 hybrid allow me to hit 550yd par 5s in two and the 3 wood is extra stiff with a larger grip to take the left side out of play on shorter holes where a driver isnt necessary.

You take the club way too far back, and you straighten your right leg out completely on the backswing. Try to keep that right knee in a flexed position all the way through the swing, and it will cut down your backswing severely. You can also kick your right heel out away from your body (pretty severely at first), and this will force you to keep that right knee flexed.

The main reason to not ground the club is so that if the ball ever moves, you cannot get a penalty for influencing it.

The driver off the deck is more of a use once a year shot rather than a regular type shot. It IS a low % shot compared to the alternatives, and thats why you don't see good players use this shot in tournaments (please don't spout off how some pro used it once, or other such thing, because we see more pros lay up on par 5s quite consistantly rather than hitting a driver off the deck.).

A course's rating is not exactly the most scientific setting as it is based off how a group of golfers of different skill levels actually played the course, therefore course ratings are not an exact science, but rather an approximation based on different players performances there.

I've seen people use a sharpie and a ruler to make the line since the original 2 ball came out. Works great if it suits your eye.

Low - 73 - .7 Differential High - 83 - 8.8 Differential Hdcp - 1.6 Anti-hdcp - ~4

1. Eh, I wouldnt let his game dictate mine that much. 2. You are only causing stress upon yourself. 3. This one I agree with. But if you're playing against solid players the only putts in the long gimme range should be for birdies. 4. Again, I don't like to get into my opponents game this much, and if somebody else does this against me, it really makes me think less of them. And on laying up....I would lay up usually if its a small green over water and I'm 2up because then I'm hitting a short 3rd shot, while my opponent is hitting a short 4th shot. No reason to take the risk when the odds are for you. This of course is just my opinion, and I went 4-8 in matchplay this year in the michigan publinx, and only won one match at the state matchplay, so not a great record.
