Take Dead Aim

@MidwestGolfJake Depends how you approach indoor golf. I have dialed my half swing distances perfectly in a simulator.

Other than staying somewhat in golf shape, indoor golf is worthless. None of what I was doing on Trackman has translated to outside golf. I don't regret playing indoors all winter but disappointed the goodness doesn't translate. Before anyone asks, yes I'm using RCT golf balls

@MyGolfSpy I would love to map that information against the percentage of wedge shots that a mid amateur goes past the flag. I would argue that in most cases, less spin is better

Question: How old is your most-used wedge? Most of us don’t realize how much wedges can wear down. We tested it: • ~7,000 RPM when new • ~3,700 RPM after ~75 rounds Same swing. Same shot. Kind of crazy how much spin you can lose without noticing. 👉 mygolfspy.com/labs/the-truth…

@eighteenholes18 @laureanova I appreciate your knowlege. I just offer the possibility that a divot in the fairway caused by another player is closer to an "outside influence" than anything else

@72TakeDeadAim @laureanova There’s not much left 😉

It's one of the rules of golf that needs to be changed; it's not fair to execute a perfect shot on the fairway and land in a divot....

@eighteenholes18 @laureanova Why do we get free relief from a sprinkler? Just bad break your ball lies on it...

@72TakeDeadAim @laureanova My argument is that there are good breaks and bad breaks, and we seem to accept the good ones yet ask for the rules to be changed to deal with the bad ones

@eighteenholes18 @laureanova Not exactly, just not in an alteration of the condition of the fairway caused by another player, or animal, or meteor falling from the sky... ;)

@72TakeDeadAim @laureanova Sounds to me like you simply expect a perfect lie whenever you’re in the fairway

@eighteenholes18 @laureanova If I used your argument, a ball that bounces off-limits and comes to rest in the general area, is it considered off-limits?

@eighteenholes18 @laureanova The issue is ball at rest, not how it gets there. You can find all the interfering element you want, but the issue is that the ball is at rest on the fairway in an element caused by a player. Doesn´t matter how the ball got there, right?

@ForePlayPod His swing at the range and on the course have never looked even remotely within the same planet

Tiger’s warmups with every club at TGL. How’s the swing looking? 👀

@Top100Rick that fine line between producing speed and looking like a spastic dance from the 70s...

Seb Twadell is known as the fastest swinger of the golf club on earth. 169 MPH clubhead speed 240 MPH Ball Speed You know how some fast swings look totally effortless? This is not that swing lol. Most effortful swing I’ve ever seen. Mashes it! x.com/SebTwaddell7/s…

@eighteenholes18 @laureanova It´s not a reciprocal argument. The forrest has always been there, and lucky bounces are part of the equation. On the other hand, a divot may have appeared just by the group ahead of you and it is caused by a player.

@laureanova Is it fair to slice one into the forest and have it ricochet back into the fairway?

@ChipJohnson01 Alicante Golf, in Spain, a Severiano Basllesteros design, has just that format. Very fun.

Have we ever had the discussion on why golf courses don’t have 6 par 3’s, 6 par 4’s and 6 par 5’s To me it makes a lot of sense, and I think par 3’s and par 5’s are some of the best holes on a lot of courses and having more of them makes courses more fun, and have more variety

@Top100Rick It´s sort of a half-bred Rahm-Wolff swing

Mesmerizing. 😍 Linn Grant is known for having one of the best golf swings on earth. First watch, you will focus on her club position in the backswing. But I’m kind of blown away by her left arm at top of swing. Its barely passed 90 degrees. Even with driver. Maybe I need to shorten my swing! I know so little about the golf swing lol.

@GolfChannel You wanted to grow the game? Well, there you have some of its consequences...

Cameron Young on the raucous crowds on 17 and 18: "It was to the point that Matt looked at me on 18 and said, 'Cam, do you hate me too?'"

@GolfMonthly I would argue you´d be average at golf

🤔 If I shot the average 18-hole score for amateurs, would I be considered 'good' at golf? golfmonthly.com/features/if-i-…

@Turbinetraveler @grok how much money is Ryanair saving per year, taking into account the cost of implementing the automatic stairway in the planes?

@GolfMonthly An eagle is -2, an albatross -3... hmmm, let me think...

Would you prefer a hole-in-one or an albatross? golfmonthly.com/features/would…

@chambleebrandel how about from 0-4 feet?

@engineeringolf @GolfDigest 3/4 and 1/2. With 4 wedges it gives me 8 different distances and multiple trajectories. What else does an amateur (down to earth, not the ones in X) need?

How do you handle less-than-full wedges? Clock system? Full, 3/4, and 1/2? Pure feel? Multiple clubs, or just one? Answers will guide the design of my next web tool. Appreciate any input. 🫡 (📷 @GolfDigest)
