It went great, actually - I'll post it today. I came straight home to watch the Buckeyes lose, so it wasn't really on my mind.
Should only be 4 penalty strokes on those 2 holes, maybe I mis-typed that. I hit O.B. on both of those holes - was killing my driver most of the day, but got a little loose on those two holes and pushed the ball right and was O.B. by about 5 feet combined on both holes.jercra said:Yeah, not a bad round and nice recovery from that triple on 2. How did you manage 6 penalty strokes on 2 holes? That's impressive.
Despite its proximity to April Fool's Day, this video of Bubba Watson riding around in a hovercraft golf cart appears to be legit. You'll never want to walk a course again after seeing this video.
I love Heritage and Parkland. I think those are the two best in your vaca. Enjoy.Papelbon's Poutine said:The Heritage Club; Myrtle Beach National West and North; Legends Heathland, Moorland and Parkland.
Zomp said:They are voting on major changes to my course as well. They biggest change would see the course go from a 72 to a 71, while extending a 340 yard par 4 to a 450 yard par 4, and shortening a 520 yard par 5 to a 430 yard par 4. They also want to extend one tee 50 yards or so and redo a few of the bunkers.
To be honest I'm not sure how I feel about it. I like being able to play four par 5's in a round, but the changes they are proposing would make the course one of the toughest tracks in the state, which I like.

I did their free first evaluation at a Golfsmith. It was pretty good but I found having the harness on a bit distracting and that I couldn't take a real swing without thinking about the stuff attached to me. Seeing your body position was cool but it didn't seem very different than just regular video with the line overlay or the new fancy 3d, every angle video. The evaluation software was cool in that it shows you where your swing is breaking down but I don't really believe in a one swing fits all theory so for me it was off-putting Also, the ball and club tracking are IR not radar so a lot of the stats are actually software estimates. For my money, I still trust a Trackman or other radar based systems more than any other system. Used with a teacher and combined with video you get the truest sense of your swing and can see the results of adjustments in many different stats. Like I said, I've only done it once so maybe you get used to the harness and maybe their progressive learning system is awesome. I can't speak to those.phragle said:Anyone have any experience with GolfTEC?

So, the issue appears not to be that your course data isn't there. It's that you managed to play a round 5 years in the future, which is impressive. Go fix the date of the round from 1/1/18 to the day you actually played it and it should show up in the leaderboard. As a nice side benefit, I updated your course and added all of the women's data as well as course designer and year built. Of course, next time I'm back in New England you'll have to take me out to see it myself so I know what I was updating.Zomp said:Jercra I think I can't update scores because my course info isn't up to date...but I can't edit course data unless I pony up for a membership. Can you do it? I'm not sure if this is the only info you need:

If you're going to shoot in the 90s then I'll insist on it.Zomp said:No problem, as long as we can play the women's tees.
I've used Ace of Clubs before. He used to do a bunch of re-shafting and fittings for members at the club I work at...probably still does. Fit me for KBS shafts a few years ago.phragle said:In this months Digest there's the top 100 club fitters and there are three that make some sense. GolfTEC isn't listed.
Ace of Clubs - 35 mins away (but only 15 from my gym and on my way to Boston)
Kustom Club Fitting Center - 1 hour
And there's also Golf & Ski Warehouse listed that's an hour and a half away, but there's another G&SW thats 30 mins away but that one isn't listed.
So I have some options, but I'm probably going to check out Ace of Clubs. Unless someone says it's shit.
Thanks, but I've broken 90 twice in my life and live in the high 90s-low 100s as a rule. Want to teach me your consistency and your short game?Deathofthebambino said:TFP, that's a whole lot better swing than I've ever had, or ever will.
Lou, needless to say I'm in, you going to game next Sat?Dave Stapleton said:Hey guys ... I'm a member at Franklin (Mass) and would always welcome getting out and playing with you folks. As you may all recall, I am one of those 16s that can shoot from Lows 80s to High 90s (i.e. good teammate in a better ball net tourney).
I have to second (or 3rd or 4th) the love for Caledonia. The 18th hole is pretty special too. Second shot all carry over the water right back to the clubhouse. Also love sitting in those rocking chairs overlooking the 18th green with a drink in hand.
What do you mean by swing evaluating apps? I use V1 golf on Android and it's awesome but it's a video analysis app. I'll grant that it's been more useful for making fun of my friends shitty swings than for evaluating my own swing but I'm also the guy who uses information to screw up what's working for me.phragle said:Are any of the swing evaluating apps (iPad/iPhone) worth buying?
So this was a disaster. I shot a 66 on the front and stopped keeping score on the back. It was literally the worst round of golf I played in 3 years. I don't know what it was but I was chunking every single one of my irons. The fact that it happened all the time means there's likely only one thing wrong, but I'll be damned if I know what it is. I tried everything to correct it, nothing worked.The Four Peters said:First full round of the year coming up Saturday at Highfields in Grafton, really looking forward to it. I've made changes to my swing due to taking lessons that have largely helped, but am still trying to get comfortable with it. I am definitely thinking too much and once I finally let my mind go, the results improve. I also got the worst case of the shanks of my life the other day at the range, literally could not make any sort of contract for about 25 swings. Finally worked my way through it though and got back to square one by the end.
Caveat--I'm neither an instructor nor a great golfer(12-13ish), but I can empathize with both the shanks and the chunks. And I'm a major swing tinkerer.The Four Peters said:So this was a disaster.

I know it's normal to take steps back after making changes to your swing, but I'll be damned if this is isn't frustrating.

I use V1. A lot of PGA Professionals and golf instructors use it. There are a few helpful tutorials you can find on the internet that help you in what you should be looking for. I use it for shaft angle work and head position more than anything. Not having a high speed camera can really do some funking things on analyzing your downswing.phragle said:Are any of the swing evaluating apps (iPad/iPhone) worth buying?
