Hi everyone!

Recently I started playing golf again. Played a bit when I was twelve then stopped for 6 years. Any pointers/analysis or criticism is welcome!

I have only recorded my SW shot on our front lawn. I will try to record a few other clubs at our school if necessary!

Gonna be tough to tell with what is basically a long chip shot.

The club appears to be rather short.

Is there any way to tell? Should the club be a certain length according to my height?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Most people use a longer iron like a six iron for swing videos to analyze iron shots.  It is a good middle length club.

@ChrisPietersen and myself went to our school to (finally) record our shots. We didn't wear the same clothes on purpose! :-)

Similar clothes, similar advice ;-)

Turn those feet out and turn the hips, don't let them slide to the right. Will make the downswing pieces easier to accomplish.

They are called shorts and not mediums for a reason :-D

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
