hard to say and easy to think so. cameras and video already have filters and process. the image is enhanced even before it goes through post production processes.

what I hate is home courses high rough and high brush being cut of. for one thing it avoids searching/loosing the ball and injury for some fragile players. greens are watered to pitch a lot. they still roll good yet putts dont roll true because footprints are deep. FW are cut high to lift the ball easier for scoopers. there is a big beginnerish golf transformation going on in the last 5-8 years and course slope is not being brought down. some clubs even bring 4-6 tees up but count competition rounds from back tees. (thank god my club doesn't do that). It's actually even harder to play in some ways (apart the rough part). FW roll less, tee shots pitch and stay short. Greens pitch too much and therefore chip shots can bite way too hard or roll out fast like the green should roll if you chip 1-2 inches lower), I find this very very hard to manage. but if your a poor player you get your advantage.

the rocky horror picture show. for real.

iv'e read this two. there were railroad buildings that were taken away. then these buildings were replaced a few years afterwards to give back the hole initial interest/design.

the whole course sucks concerning modern golf appart the 17th wind against. it's only saved by the greens and FW that are sloped in incredible ways. (the same reason that bay hill was so badly criticized). the shame is that on TV we dont see the slopes. it looks flat until the ball rolls out to enable us to guess there is golf out there.

I loved tin cup. of course caddy shack as well but this one took age. I've seen recently the film called "seve" on ballesteros. not bad, it's different from the bagger vance and such.

+10 000 you have time while playing to search for balls while partners play nevertheless you probably won't be in your game much. I find many balls when I play bad and search for mine. (golf rule number one : I find 8-10 balls each time but not mine ) otherwise I never look. stock is so high I send many on the range (cheap distance balls and proviwan type pro balls too hard to play for my HCP). I keep the nxt type and such.

handicap used for player rating and handicap management is one thing. it's usually stroke play or stabbleford. scramble dont count for official handicap management yet the net result for the competition will be calculated with this handicap. nevertheless a country club may lower the max handicap taken in consideration for the tournament result as it is judge too high for equity. this will not change the handicap calculation with the official system.

20° centigrade. were all going to die.

I believe that if you putt bad your technique is bad and the roll is not good, your mind is cheated and can't understand. putting is the most technical part of golf. it's harder to roll in 90% of the time at 2 yards than hit a FW 90% the time at 200 yards. there is nothing personal about putting. thats a fake to sell swing lessons. take putting courses and a standard putter in you bag, no fake big grips or big heads etc..

I'm sorry I can't read 35 pages of the topic. I watched several videos and replies. I insist that on all his videos his hands and arms move the club 1-2 yards without any coil of the shoulder. It's a hand swing to my point of view. he will stay stuck in this intense muscular hand/arm action until he gets the concept

I dont think in time majors are the same competitiveness so jacks record could stand a long time. just look at the old videos with the awfull low green speed ! machines, golf courses, matériel, players and technique...so much evolution and progress that all this competition makes it harder to differentiate players. it's the same in other sports. example football. 2-3 payers were the worldwide known as best in the 70-80'. in the 90-00 you have 20-30 huge players to the worlds eye and 20-30 more less noticed on the money page yet as huge as the top rankers.

I believe his arms are late because he flips his arms and hand to hit the ball no turn/coil, pull/tract and whip it. you use pure muscle not mechanics. You probably may score well because you probably hit it long and seam very athletic. furthermore the swing has not changed much since the beginning. Yet I dont think you have yet understood/felt the golf modern swing concept. This is very common and unacceptable (for the sport, the why is to determine)...and this is a snow ball effect growing long term trap for you. take lessons please, stick to them, and avoid forum stuff if possible. you must start all over with your understanding. nevertheless : the first thing I see is your arms and hands have moved (a lot) in 1-2 seconds, without your shoulders pivoting. (your club face should stay square to your shoulder turn). at one point the club is then upside down and you should turn with legs towards the target, the hips are turned with leg action, the shoulders tracts your arms, the clubs inverses and wips the ball hard. any tension or action in arms and hands eliminate the fast and straight whip action. to feel a tiny bit of this concept : take your posture without a club. lift only the left arm up 90°. then, without moving anything else, turn your shoulders 90° to the right. (you should be perfect here for a down swing). now pull the left arm and hand straight down as hard as you can and resist equally with the right leg pushing up. you should obviously pivot weight forward and do a "left back hand slap" on the target ball line. Next, try the same "feeling" drill without pulling the left arm down. let it just drop free because of your pivot action. let it be tracted. not pull or pushed.

a n3 hybride, it's 19° and about a 2 iron equivalent. then I have a 4 iron of 24°, small gap but at 200-220 I looking for straight more that distance precision.

béziers saint thomas south of france. about 6750 yards. I like the 2 par 3 of 220 yards. you know you have 2 bogeys to fight before the round. one par 4 is 472 yards with uphill slope on the drive carry. thats the third bogey to fight with. I have less than 10% of GIR on those holes. those 3 holes are against the dominant wind coming at 10 o'clock. a slicers delight. (240 days of wind per year over 40 km/h thats about 25 miles/hour. we often have 60-80 km/h (37/50 miles). than we have 10 more days per year well over 100 km/h (62 miles). 2 par 5 have greens 30 yards up on a hill, they are therefore pretty much unreachable in two. bunkers are poor in this windy area. they are dryed up sun burned clay mostly. new sand gets blown away fast when repaired. clay brings up rocks as well with years. the greens are old style big circles, pretty flat but full of bumps and ditches so even good approach shot have very tricky 1-2 yard putt that finish with a bogey. the slopes are hard to read in the middle of all these light slopes. We are often totally wrong at 1-2 yards. some optical effets with the environment. on the 8th we often break uphill of the eye it's crazy. the first 5 holes are short, tight in a pine forest area with doglegs and strategic tee shots. then from the 6th to the 12th it's very a wide plain (old sloppy wine yard) and very long hold area. we then go through french garrigue (1,5 yards high bushes very dense all over as first rough) with water obstacles all over from the 14th to the 17th. the 18th is back in pine forest land.

thats a lot of club selection fr a not so low index. dont you think you could benefit more long term with technical game improvement ?

I find it full of sense. It lacks illustration for the majority of "visual" people. The definitions are to be read first indeed. Maybe read a condensed rules guide first as well. The decisions give good examples to understand the rules as well. I always consult an online PDF of decisions, the rule is the first text anyway.

mode it's a conspiracy : ajustable clubs are useless. they are only made so the club industry can retreive shafts on unsold items. personnaly I believe this though. I have an ajustable RBZ S2. it's useless to ajust, it will only give false info.

Paradoxically I remember having read in science mag that "medically" marijuana has no addiction substances. Addiction may come to tobacco when mixed with for consumption purposses. Therefore legalization cannot add to drug addiction.

thats a good question. I would consider that the stake marks the OB where it lies even if it is fallen or misplaced un less the committee is available for questioning as to where the OB is supposed to be. therefore if my ball is totally beyond the line from that stake to the next mark then my ball is out of bounds. If the ball lies within the ground I would have it as it lies and play it someway or take a relief such as unplayable etC.

I feel it is odd and even out of place to classify or qualify people on the basis of sexual orientations. sex is personal. why share this with people you dont have sex with ?

I went to a french museum on alcohol. very interesting. it's several hundred years of work for the government to control this drug tax wise and impose rules on production. furthermore this is only distilation, not all other easy alcohol fruit fermentation such as wine. I personally think alcohol is legal because it's a north hemisphere production and huge industry. this is not the case for many other less harmful drugs that are third world origin pretty much. Then there was the high added value cotton industry versus the cheap hemp fiber problem 250 years ago.

a lot of players in my area dont mark the ball and just roll it with a club. it gets a bit loud when you tell them how many penalties they should add to the score at the end of the round.

how much do you thing the thing will bargain in 6 month or a year ? 150 USD max not ?

this is unacceptable to my point of view as a european. if poulter asks a favor to the player in a direct manner and gets it ok ti's an arrangement between tiers, he better pay off hard. though. but it seams to me that reading this article I could believe a federal golf organization is behind this request to back off in favor of a player. I understand that poulter wishes to play elite golf on the pga (even though he plays crap in strokes he should better go for he asian tour for his game level) unfortunately he needs to play on the world 2-3rd division in Europe to keep his european card. (I say world 2 or 3rd division because it seams that webtour has a better level of play than the ET does). 12hours jet lag etc, poulter goes for the minimum play plan and finally has a one event problem to be present. and has his card in stake. so what ? Now thats his problem not some other player on tour hoping to play and even win it why not jump his game on the win and beat nicklaus on major wins ? I would not dare as a federal organisation write an email or even make a phone call to ask someone to take bench. Thats pure cheating versus US eligibles or the golf spirit. Who cares about poulter anyway ? This is not the point but.... He is total crap in match play technically. He won 1-2 games drooling as an arse in the opponents neck and only the poor social media said that therefore he is a king in the manner. nobody can say the guy is good or believe that crap. he sucks. he always did. he only wants to play golf and works hard at it (fair to him) and stands by in nobody land to stay eligible. then he developed golf clothing industry for idiots and got heavy weight in the industry(he got that right there are many idiots to be client in our world). but who cares ? I wonder if his industry was or was not the official decision maker to cheat sport ?
