Overrated. It seems like the fields at the higher purse regular season events are drawing similar strength fields to majors now. Majors are talked about so much it seems like after a player wins a few times, regular season wins don't matter. It becomes all about majors. I'm kinda surprised to see how many people said underrated.
-
Depends what is meant by mental game, if it's decision making/game planning I'd say underrated. If it's "focus" I'd say vastly overrated.

Step right up and see the amazing....golf..ball...wacker guy.

I feel like this change in rules further pushes golf away from a "self policing sport". It's pretty hard to self police if you don't know what you are policing for.

Agreed. I don't think most people realize how low of body fat 8% really is. I mean most bodybuilders stepping on stage are in that 4-8% (depending on class) and those on the lower end of that range are a in extremely rough shape, it is super unhealthy. Hormones levels also play a major factor which change a lot with age.

I don't really think you are going to get a precise answer without being specific to what you mean by "mental game". Do you mean like focus, comfort under stress, confidence, etc? Do you consider game planning/prep part of the mental game or playing with unfamiliar people? It's similar to asking someone "how do you become successful?", it depends. Without knowing the details, I would say the only way to practice it is to play more. Some sort of competitive golf would probably be best.

One thing worth looking at is the location of your right elbow compared to image below. Kevin Na has his elbow much more in front of his chest (arm/elbow pointing more toward the camera/perpendicular to his chest) where was your elbow is flared out a bit (pointing more of a 45 degree angle to the right of your chest/camera).

I knew you weren't, no worries man. It's not surprising people talk about it tbh, people do love them some conspiracy theories lol.

For sure, I don't think he did use any. I was putting it out there that steroids/hgh are recover drugs that are very effective, I mean that is why people use them lol.
-
They (steroids/HGH) wouldn't fix the disc but they would probably speed up his PT/rehab of the area a lot.

Definitely personal preference. A lot of bettinardi's and scotty's putter designs are similar to other brands. Getting properly fitted will have a much bigger impact.

I had jury duty about a year ago for a murder trial, I was an alternate juror so I didn't actual have to come to a verdict. It wasn't a very pleasant experience. Definitely changed my views on our court system.
-
Unfortunately it is the kids fault as they were told what tee's to play. It is kinda odd that they used a completely different tee box with a 40 yard difference in hole length. They should have contacted someone if they were in doubt of where to play from.

Do you leave your clubs in your car all season long?
JxQx replied to Vinny Cap's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I leave them in my cars trunk during the season but take them out before winter hits. The temperature isn't really going to do anything to them since the melt temps for most epoxies you would use is over 200F. It's also pretty unlikely someone is going to break into my trunk. -
It looks like in all of the videos you tend to stand up and fall back through the shot.
-
In the bottom video it looks like the club head is well outside your hands on the takeaway (around 5 second mark) which may be worth looking at especially if you are focusing on width, overdoing a feel on getting width could lead to you to get out of position. Also adding a face on video will be worth while to make sure you aren't swaying or having your spine angle tilt toward the target. One last thing to check is your foot/hip/shoulder alignment to make sure they are square to each other and that your balance is over the the center of your feet, it looks like you are more over/behind your heels but that could be the camera angle.
-
It probably has more so to do with fitness and technique than equipment. A lot more pro golfers are becoming serious about strength/fitness, I doubt the same is true for the average amateur golfers which is why you see the difference.
-
Those emotions had little to do with making the putt and more so to do with making it into the masters/winning the tournament. I feel like most animated people would be pretty amped and act similarly given the circumstances.
-
The field for the weekend warrior is everyone with a similar handicap. A lot of that information/stats are gathered with new golf tech (Game Golf, Arccos, etc) and they can derive the strokes gained from that.
-
I think he is on the fence. If he wins another major and gets a couple more wins he would definitely be in. If not, I think the it would depend on the amount of repeat winners we see on the tour. If we aren't seeing a lot of repeat winners as we currently/used to I think he would get the nod.

Driver with 3-wood shaft experiment
JxQx replied to onthehunt526's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I was actually thinking of doing this as well. I got the idea when I seen a video on youtube where Peter Finch also swapped a 3 wood shaft into a driver. He lost almost no distance but had a lot tighter dispersion. -
Compare in what way? You can have really good D2 teams and poor D1 teams. I'm sure there are some players out there who would rather be recruited and play for a really good D2 team and get some scholarship money than have to try to be a walk on for a lower level D1 team or be a non scholarship player.

Srixon Z 765 & Z 965 Combo Set
JxQx replied to saevel25's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
Some awesome clubs there! I was very interested in a similar setup, but unfortunately the closest place that carries them is about a 40 minute drive. I ended up picking up some Mizuno JPX 900 tours instead, got them yesterday as well. -
That is subjective as to what their prime is. I mean Jack came in 6th in 1990 at the masters, which still puts him at about 120ish majors and tied for 6th in the masters 1998 which puts him at 155ish. If we are talking wins then that still puts him at around 100ish. Still putting him past most even counting every major that the rest played "out of their prime".
