Wow glad to stumble on this post. I have often been able to hit these when I am playing a lot and had no idea why. I could always feel it off the face like it would almost feel like I hit the ball thin and the ball comes out super low and checks. When I can't hit them reliably I have thought maybe its the bounce getting involved and redirecting the attack angle which kind of makes sense.

Actually that sounds like the way I would like to use it, I assumed you might have GPS issues if it was in the pocket.

My Arccos sub is about to renew and I'm thinking I will cancel it and go with ShotScope. Arccos more expensive than I'd like and misses the mark on a lot of things. Have any of you given up on the H4 or most are happy with it? I'm not sure about having to either wear it on my belt where I'll have to remove it to see the GPS or throw it on my bag and have to remove it every time I get to the green to use pin collect, seems a bit awkward on the green. How do you carry your H4? I may just have to try to get used to wearing a watch.

This winter, I set up a golf simulator in my garage. I can play one of my local courses with a fairly realistic level of accuracy, and I am currently in the process of building another local course to add to the sim. This got me thinking that I can potentially play a lot of rounds that I can't post for my handicap, so my handicap my not match my skill level very well when it comes tournament time. Not only that, I can setup the courses I play with wind and conditions similar to what I might be playing in a tournament. My questions - If a golfer uses a simulator to practice on a specific course before a tournament, does it give them an unfair advantage? Should this practice be considered a violation of the rules, especially if the simulation closely resembles the actual course? If a golfer consistently performs well on a simulated course, should their performance count towards their handicap?

Bushnell Launch Pro vs Foresight GC3
jshots replied to ChetlovesMer's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
After all of the arguing in this thread I ended up finding IMO the best route to go on a budget ish instead of the bushnell - a used Foresight GC2 I found one for $2500, there is no subscription lock in whatsoever, and the accuracy is pretty much as good as it gets. GC3 is great, but I couldn't get that and a projector/mat/screen/software so I think this is the next best option. @TourSpoon And you should absolutely get a powerful PC and GSPRO software, it is so freaking cool to be able to play the courses they are playing on Tour nearly every week. -
See I don't think that it was particularly slow at all for a tour player. I believe this is match play so he has to make the putt. Here for example - Cam Smith, 53 seconds into this video until he takes his stroke and it appears like he was reading the putt before the video started. Granted in the Keegan Bradley clip he may have been doing some reading before hand as well. Or how bout this one of Rickie I just don't get what people are so up in arms about. Keegan in this clip is probably faster than most, yet people think it is slow and the only thing I can come up with is that it looks odd to them.
-
This is old footage, forgive me if my search missed any post about it, but first time I saw it coming across twitter. Is this actually slow? I don't think that it is, everyone is roasting him because it looks odd to them doesn't have a clue. Any other guy not using aimpoint would be 20 ft behind their ball, 20 foot other side of the cup, analyzing from every angle below the hole. 42 seconds to hit the putt seems not bad for this putt IMO.

I did a similar thing to your son, the mental strife it caused after a lifetime of "GO TO COLLEGE" cost my mental health a lot at the time. There is just no way it continues to work as is, either colleges implode as people start going elsewhere for education, or it becomes completely government provided.
-
Its in a sense its like you need a "credit" score but for your future self. I think that would be really hard to implement, but if you leave it up to the free market rather than the government stepping in it might work out but it would look very different. I imagine it would really end up with a bunch of different college paths disappearing. As a software engineer, I've see a huge shift, there are way more people coming into the field and still making very good money with no college education. I think a future with a significant number of options for career paths without going to college is knocking on the door right now. College Educated != Educated. If the Biden admin really wanted to make a difference, they would pay people and companies to take on internships and apprenticeships.
-
The solution for future borrowers is that school needs to be cheaper. The only way I see that happening is if people stop going and find other ways to be successful.
-
Generations raised to think 4 years of education after high school is the only way to be successful, encouraged to take that route regardless of cost. Compound that with a lack of financial literacy + Government guarantees students will get loans = Schools jack up prices and make a killing The government caused this stupid thing and schools and loan companies took advantage. They should pay for it, but we know that is never gonna happen. Wiping debt is a bad solution, but that US government is really good at bad solutions. I think the long term solution - society needs to quit putting school on a pedestal. Education is absolutely important, but we don't need these schools to provide it. There are so many ways to get educated, and hopefully people and companies start embracing those. I see it shifting a lot as a software engineer, and I think other fields can do the same thing.

The twitter comments are full of it already. I think it will be cool, but easy to see why its going to get hate - it looks like a game show set. Just need Steve Harvey up there asking questions.
-
The arena is actually in space. This is going to get so much hate haha.

LIV: Check out our fresh new format for competitive golf Tiger and Rory: Hold my beer Okay now this PGAT player suspension looks even worse than it did before. You can't play on that competing tour because we partnered with our big cats on a different one. I hope this isn't a mega flop, I can imagine it being pretty cool. Can also imagine it being pretty stupid. Hype vid

Not sure how that joke comment is wrapping myself in victimhood but you are the antitrust law expert so I will defer to your authority.

You may want to get fit even though you think you are standard standard. I was in the same boat, got fit around 2010 at standard standard so in 2018ish I bought some clubs off the shelf thinking I was standard standard. Well I went to my local pro this summer to have him check them for me, and turns out they were 3 degrees too flat for my swing. He said that he frequently sees standard clubs are not the same from the manufacturer, and you should always get them checked and bent after you get them, and additionally checked every season.

Obvious penalty. But to keep the convo interesting... who was the PGA Tour official watching all of Cam's shots?

I was sent here by the Saudis in 2011 to prepare for this moment.

These 2 quotes are copy pasted directly from the complaint. I'm not asking you if I am using the exact arguments, I'm telling you that I literally pulled them out of the text. I bolded the things I've been re-iterating over and over again. "As the Tour’s monopoly power has grown, it has employed its dominance to craft an arsenal of anticompetitive restraints to protect its long-standing monopoly. " "Before LIV Golf’s entry, golfers who sold their services in the elite professional golf services market had no meaningful option but to play on the Tour if they wanted to pursue their profession at the highest levels. This provided the Tour with enormous power over the players, including the ability to force players into restrictive terms that foreclose them from playing in competing events and the ability to suppress player compensation below competitive levels" Against my profession. Text book ad hominem - attacking me personally rather than the argument I am making. Maybe you missed the original comment, but he asked what my profession was as evidence that I know nothing about law or economics. Pretty low blow IMO.
-
I'm spewing legal nonsense? Are you a lawyer? I'm basically using the exact arguments in claims from gigantic law firms representing LIV players, stuff that I'm reading all over the place from actual lawyers. Its not as if I just came up with this shit on my own. So the ad hominem attack on my profession seems undeserved to me.

I mentioned Radovich vs NFL - Radovich seeking compensation after having joined another league and was forever banned from the NFL in any form, even later in life trying to join as a coach or something. SC sides with Radovich The article I linked mentions the fairly recent NCAA vs Alston - on restricting college player compensation: "the NCAA is acting in violation Section 1 of the Sherman Act, which prohibits any “contract, combination, or conspiracy in restraint of trade or commerce.”" NCAA v. Alston: The Beginning of the End or the End of the Beginning? In its unanimous 9-0 decision in NCAA v. Alston, the Supreme Court upheld a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit that struck down NCAA caps on student-athlete academic... How about LA Colliseum vs NFL, when the raiders were blocked from moving to LA in the 80s due to a rule that required 3/4 vote of teams in the NFL. LA Colliseum wins saying rule was violating Sherman Anti Trust There are dozens more. The common thing here to me is that, it doesn't matter if there is a "rule" even if it was agreed to if the rule is illegal.

We've got LIV vs PGA Tour match play on right now and its getting intense
-
Lol I'm not even going to argue with someone who asks about another's profession as some weird condescending ego stroke. Its incredibly clear that there is prior precedent for sports leagues and anti trust violations in this exact type of situation. The density it takes to be this sure of yourself about the righteousness of the PGA Tour here is incredible. Its not black and white.
-
I'm not so sure that it has no standing just based on what other sports have been through and Golf has mostly avoided so far. How Long Will The PGA Handicap Its Golfers? Unlike the NBA, MLB and NFL, the PGA Tour considers golfers to be independent contractors, and they have to pay their own expenses, including extensive travel, caddy and coaching costs, entry fees, and even a $50...
-
Playing devils advocate here because I can't comprehend what its like to be a millionaire and want to be a zillionaire - but I think the point is there is no competition in LIV just money. Thus still no meaningful choice to them. LIV can pay but can't provide competition, PGA Tour has the competition but doesn't pay that well. Most PGA Tour players are not making a ton of money, especially compared to other US sports.
