Do you/can you guess people's handicap when you see their swing first time?

[Canfordhacker]

I reckon we are all guilty of prejudging when we play with strangers for the first time.

Here's a test for fun - some video I took messing with my Go Pro last summer. What do you think?

1 of them is under 18, the rest are all over, some more than most.

Nice quality video and music. You should apply to GM here, they have 6 week intern jobs here http://www.golf-monthly.co.uk/news/notice-board/golf-monthly-looking-for-paid-interns-68029

I think there were 4-5 people with mid teen handicaps, most were 24-28.

I'd fancy my chances playing that lot for money

No, I have a relatively nice powerful swing, especially compared to most of those. And I have been beaten by more than a few players with dog ugly swings and 100 year old clubs.

All scratch...surely :fore:

No idea about their handicaps, but that's a quality vid. Which GoPro were you using? Thinking about getting one myself

Unlikely to be many real customers in there, but plenty of room for improvement! Several good swings though.

Oooh, that's gonna hurt a couple of people in the bar this Saturday! I'll see if anybody else has any guesses and come back later. Thanks for shaving 3 shots off mine though!

Thanks CMAC. Just a hobby, wished I'd had that sort of opportunity 30 years ago!

Hero3+ so - not the latest, and i absolutely love it. My daughter uses an older one with fabulous results for her longboarding too.

No idea about handicaps, but I'd have Mike as the lowest.

That's the plan. Boring just doing static pics.
