Is that better or worse than the Per-Ulrik Johansson backwards flat cap style?

I don't think he has done anything wrong, but he putted with a glove, he said he was too lazy to take it off 18 times a round.

What a cringeworthy man!

It's just data, make of it what you will. I'm sure the course has some impact, I'd suspect the player has a lot more impact though. If you put a 15 handicapper on a tour setup and a pro at a local council owned course to get like for like data I suspect the relative difference would still be...

What do you do with the kettlebells? I can't help being a training geek, it's always interesting to hear about different peoples approaches.

In my opinion the bot topic is a red herring. The real issue is that many clubs for various reasons are oversubscribed, and therefore there are too many people competing for too few tee times. The use of bots and wouldn't even be a discussion if this scenario didn't exist, same with topics...

I wonder if the growing popularity of the mini driver changes this at least somewhat. The 70% larger club head would be a lot more forgiving than a normal 3 wood, so maybe it does become a statistically more viable option off the tee for tight holes? Especially in the examples you provide where...

Why do people think marmite tastes delicious? (and of course the people who do wonder why those that find it disgusting think that way.) People do all kinds of weird things! The circle was just a simplification for illustrative purposes, it will be an elongated oval of differing shape...

Option 2 is your target being 3 feet past, option 3 is your target being 4.5 feet past so even your shortest putts are at a speed to go 1.5 feet past. Context always matters, there can be a general rule, but there will always be exceptions to it in certain circumstance. The other point worth...

I think it's fair to assume that was a given, that the shorter the putt the smaller the target and expected dispersion. If you're trying to leave a 5 or even 2 footer within a 3 foot circle, things have likely gone very wrong. :ROFLMAO:

You're right on the first part, for option 2 I was actually writing about the target being 3 feet past so nothing is short because "Never up never in", but wrote 18" as the number was on my mind. I think you are wrong on the second part though. You say 90% have a chance of going in, but at a...

The never up, never in line of thinking comes from the same school of thought that if the last 10 flips of a coin has come up heads then tails is now overdue on the next flip. For any given target distance, half your shots will be short and half will be long, the exact amount will depend on...

I was thinking the same. I suspect those that think using a script is unfair mostly believe so because they can't or won't do it. Are the same people concerned for others or is it just tough luck for those who depending on the release times of slots may be unable to book due to: childcare...
