I hear this a lot but to me it's like saying you can't taste the difference between different coffees, it's only the smell. Which while true we can only "taste" 5 different things, the smell is part of what we call taste. So yeah maybe with a golf ball, it is the sound, but I think that sound...

beautiful, my colleagues in Barnstaple said the weather was lovely over the weekend. Love Saunton, should be playing there again soon. Enjoy, hope the wind is kind to you

Where are you playing, weather this week is supposed to be decent down here

doesn't make it accurate either, just a claim, so would be pretty stupid to repeat that claim as proof of anything

that 30% figure is LIV's own data, and hasn't been verified by anyone else

a couple tips, not sure how well they may work, but read them ages ago and they seem to help. After every shot undo your glove, this is your signal to forget the last show (even if it was good) as you walk to your ball, on that walk you're not golfing you're walking, enjoy it. Before you hit...

Had a driver fitting at lunch, tries the TM QI 4D, the Callaway triple diamond, and the new Ping, while all their number were a significan jump from Titleist Tsi2, Found the Ping to dead off the face with 0 feedback, and the Callaway to hot off the face. The TM numbers were insane, club head...

yeah it's weird isn't it, somethings we do completely naturally no thought, but stick a golf club in our hands and suddenly we try and think about every aspect of what we're doing. As an experiment I have started to putt with an open stance to mimic rolling a ball with my hand as much as...

I mean yes obviously there are variables, but that would be the same as any putting stroke or style we can't know the variable speeds until we hit it. The idea is the unconscious brain is far better at doing these calculations than our conscious brain. He also did teach that this theory means...

I read a book that taught this idea. The author put it as, when we jump across a stream, our mind calculates the distance and effort perfectly, we always land, just on the other side, if it's 0.5m or 1m the brain calculates and gives us exactly the amount of power we require to just get over...

got mine out on the range for the first time. mixed bag for me, not the TRS's fault, just retraining by swing, which is very armsy. When it did go well, with the sliders help, like a revelation, just rotating through the ball no effort and the ball flying off into the distance. Will keep...

Finally actually got out onto the course, greens were soft so obviously that helps. But yeah it checks up like crazy, chipping from the fringe or apron, about half as much run out, little pitches, stop almost dead, one bounce stop

When I did GCSE PE, we did a section on the yips. Fascinating stuff. When it goes right, sporting action is done almost entirely by the subconscious, the yips happen when out conscious mind takes over, trying to consciously control our movements, then they become less coordinated and out of sync

I was also very sceptical, as someone really into their racket sports, but think paddle is really going to stay. It's far easier than the other sports, you can pick it up to a standard you can play a decent game within an hour. Whereas tennis you need to get a decent standard before you can even...

Kind of but not absolutely, they try to avoid bunching, so front 9 will usually have SIs that are odd, and back nine evens. So if the 4 hardest holes on the course are on the front 9, they would have SI 1,3,5,&7 even though harder to play that 2,3,&6 on the back nine they would have higher SIs...
