  1. I've played 74. I track it all on a map Ian's Golf Map - Google My Maps Ian's Golf Map
  2. I have a whole set from driver, 3w, 5w, 7w, 9w might give them a go again
  3. Tried this yesterday and worked pretty good all told. I had my best tee to green round of the year. Everything but my putting was operating at a 15hcp level from my usual 23.
  4. Brilliant idea. Thanks as an aimpoint user that is the answers.
  5. Sorry it may just be trial and error. I understand the idea of short and long distance control but am trying figure out how to measure the left right because a pw distance is going to be way easier to judge than a 200 yd drive. I could walk it off left right of target and aim at that target line . That's my best guess.
  6. Awesome. Okay here's the really important question then do you have any tips on depth perception to be able to kind of gauge where that middle is given as closer distances are going to appear differently than ones that are further away.
  7. Hi folks. All right I made it through the book and I've started making these decision maps. First a really interesting observation that I picked up from the data that I have on my GPS watch. Which I know is probably wildly inaccurate but I will go to a trackman and try to confirm. That much said what's really interesting is that as the yardages get longer my clubs start going right to left and then as they get closer and closer to my six hybrid they straighten. The six hybrid is almost straight as an arrow and then the four hybrid the seven wood and the forward start going left to right as they get longer. With that in mind my plots for the mapping are quite angular. So for example the driver is at the low point 193 yards and 3 yards left of center and 220 yards and 11 yards right of center. Four iron is 139 yds and three right of center to 160 yds and seven right of center Pitching wedge is 75 yards and three left of center to 105 and 12 left of center. What I find most interesting about this is that when we talk about hitting shots usually we talk about distance and dispersion left to right what this is letting me do is kind of look at dispersion front to back which probably isn't as severe as this but it does kind of give you a picture of what the potential dispersion is. NNow for strategy is it better to just aim for the middle of this or to aim for your tendency so for example if your tendency is to go more right than left of targets should you go even more left or should you aim for the middle so that the best case scenario you are three to the left or three to the right for example. All of this of course assuming an average yardage between the two numbers. So For example is it better with the four iron if I aim five to the left then that should give me anywhere between two to the left and two to the right Or in this case because I tend to go more right than left is it better to just start at say 7 left so left edge of circle and be 4 away left or right on target. I hope that makes sense. My math brain has had a great afternoon.
  8. I am a bare bones traveler. As much as I love historic hotels and visit them often for a drink or to just look around I rarely stay at them because I don't need to pay $300-500 a night for the privilege. I just need somewhere to sleep, shower and cook (optional, but preferable). Does anybody know any travel company that can arrange tee times, but let's me do my own accommodation booking. I don't need nor want 5 star accommodation.
  9. Just wanted to provide an update for anybody who has this kind of a problem as well with their downswing. I think I have finally figured it out. When I transition while trying to keep my back from the target so that my arms can come down before my hips get too far ahead I shift the weight to my left side and my left knee moves closer to the ball which stretches the groin area. Just another reminder that it's a turn and a shift not just a shift to get that left leg rotating.
  10. Then that is even more awesome. Idon't in anyway want to devalue what you wrote. It is an amazing contribution to the golf library.
  11. Ok I got it. The book is great. You've distilled a lot of the technical side of Every Shot Counts into a much more digestible package and added your own spin with the drills. Looking forward to reading part 3.
  12. Have read about half the book today. Quick question on SCOR If the S is 0.5 And O is 14 Does that mean the scoring effect is 7 shots!
  13. I found it on a CDN used book store page.
  14. I found a copy here in Cdn dollars online so it's on its way Agreed. My 4 wood tends to get a lot of love unless I can hit that elusive draw or lay up to 85 yard pitch distance. Yes that is the goal right now that I have yet to be able to get to. My top 5 rounds this year are all between 91 & 94 so the chances are there just need less putts and less chunked shots from when I get too tired and don't shift my weight enough. I got a TPI screen recently and have a workout just have to do it, thats the hard part 😄 For sure Yeah working through this Many thanks, I am 40, but was asked to play in a 50+ event last month. Thankfully not quite there yet. Thanks. I know Brody preaches distance as king regardless of resulting lie off the tee, THat much said I am comfortable losing that stroke, but need the putting to be good from anywhere. The lag putts uphill and downhill are what I find the hardest. Thanks for the encouragement
