At one point I had a 52, 56, 60, 64, and of course a pitching wedge. I like having a lot of wedges especially that 64. I took it out because I had more than 14 but I'm thinking I'm going to take out my 4 or 9 iron out to put the 64 back in. I find that I never hit the 9 iron and I'm good at hitting half 3 hybrid shots.

Make sure you have him work on your short game and not just your swing. So many people just want to pound balls but there's a lot more than that. Also realize sometimes it's going to get worse before it gets better and the only way to make it better is to practice it 500+ times (for me at least).

Hacked it around for an 82. Short game and my driver killed me. Only 1 birdie on the day but I'd never played the course which really sucks on a lot of shots.

Choke down wedge from 100 out on a short par 4 with a Balada ball (hole in one was in 2005!). Ball went right at the pin landed short bounced about 4 feet past almost off the green then zipped back hard right into the cup.

For me when I was first learning golf and starting to hit ok shots I'd try to take the divot after the ball......didn't work. I found the best way to do it was try to make a good swing and it'll just happen.

Someone has probably already said this but I don't keep score. I measure myself with other golfers by height.

When the adjusted gross score is higher than the USGA Course Rating , the Handicap Differential is a positive number. The following is an example for determining a Handicap Differential using an adjusted gross score of 95 made on a course with a USGA Course Rating of 71.5 and a Slope Rating of 125: Adjusted Gross Score - USGA Course Rating : 95 - 71.5 = 23.5 Difference x Standard Slope Rating : 23.5 x 113 = 2655.5 Result / Slope Rating : 2655.5 / 125 = 21.24 Handicap Differential (rounded): 21.2 b. Minus Handicap Differential When the adjusted gross score is lower than the USGA Course Rating , the Handicap Differential is a negative number. The following is an example for determining a Handicap Differential using an adjusted gross score of 69 made on a course with a USGA Course Rating of 71.5 and a Slope Rating of 125: Adjusted Gross Score - USGA Course Rating : 69 - 71.5 = -2.5 Difference x Standard Slope Rating : -2.5 x 113 = -282.5 Result / Slope Rating : -282.5 / 125 = -2.26 Handicap Differential (rounded): -2.3 10-2. Handicap Index Formula The Handicap Index formula is based on the best Handicap Differential(s) in a player's scoring record . If a player's scoring record contains 20 scores, the best 10 Handicap Differentials of the most recent 20 scores are used to calculate the Handicap Index . As the number of scores in the scoring record decreases, the percentage of scores used in a scoring record decreases from the maximum of the best 50 percent. If the scoring record contains 9 or 10 scores, only the best three scores (30 to 33 percent) in the scoring record will be used. Thus, the accuracy of a player's Handicap Index is directly proportional to the number of acceptable scores posted. A Handicap Index must not be issued to a player who has returned fewer than five acceptable scores. The following procedures illustrate how an authorized golf association, golf club, and computation services calculate a player's Handicap Index . Based on how it's calculated and what I know about the game of golf a scratch golfer should not necessarily be shoot 71-73 every single round.

You don't have to take my word for it. I'm just saying that's what he said he shot. Anyone else have anything they can say about that? This is all speculation.

My friends dad has played it a couple times. Dad is about a 2 handicap and he shot in the 70s. I don't know how the conditions he played were different than the conditions they played on sunday but still shooting in the 70s is playing good golf there I would think.

What PGM school do you go to? I go to Ferris and I'm pretty sure we only get discounts on Titleist and Footjoy stuff.

I love it and would suggest this to anyone. I have the app on my iPod and very much helped my game and I like to listen to the music for my tempo before all rounds.
