    Breaking 80 (@people who have done it)

    Variant on old level 4s ... play level 5s ... so 90 ... shoot eleven under for a 79 :) Assume 4 par 3s - potentially 8 under but assume 2 pars/2 bogies ... 6 under. So you need 4s on five of other fourteen holes (bogie a par five then another 4 (par) to compensate) ... play sensibly and all...

    Kudos to Robert MacIntyre ...

    Followed him during Open. He was spot on. On 14th Stanley from rough in right turned it over and had it not hit Marshall would have went into shite in front right ahead of 15th tee, was ~ 5 yards away. On 17 was <10 yards away and in all likelihood had it not hit caddie’s mother again it would...

    Weight onto right heel

    Coach... great, your points/Qs... from your comments it could be weight not clearing off the left foot enough on backswing... i've good AoA on irons so weight loaded there tends to stay... the minor reverse pivot was what the pro identified and hence getting me to work on getting weight through...

    Weight onto right heel

    Been working on my weight transfer with my pro but I'm struggling to get weight out onto right heel and edge of foot consistently, especially as clubs lengthen. Fighting tendencies to have weight finish between edge of foot and toe. Does anyone have practice drill suggestions?

    Swap 3 wood for a 4/5 wood?

    FWIW I'm now Driver, 3W(15) 916H2(18) and 4I (22.5) rationale is.... 3W falls in 230-210 from tee/to off-deck, 916H2 covers 210-190 and 4I does 195-185 bit... high numbers are the max out, low ones poorest or from iffy lies. I has 5w but swapped for 916H as I felt it gave better options...
