Is Rory going to win a major this year?

Xander with a 4 iron out of the bunker from 278 yards to 12 feet.

That works. 😎

Member/guest season is nearly upon us.

I always get asked for this table that shows the odds of shooting an exceptional tournament score.

Slide this across the table when they say:
➡️'It was the round of my life.'
➡️'I've never played this good.'

I have one of these from Alphard golf. It's super clever.

It turns your typical push cart into an electric cart. The price is fantastic.

With an electric cart, you have SO MUCH more energy at the tail end of the round.

I HIGHLY recommend this.

As a golf fan, my top ten random thoughts as I reflect on the golf season:

1) I just want all the best players back together.
2) I just want all the best players back together.
3) I just want all the best players back together.
4) I just want all the best players back together.

Get yourself a 7 wood.

Have your fitter/builder make the shaft 3/4 to 1 inch short of 'standard'.

Rip high soft bombs all day long. 😎

You can thank me later.

10% of golfers carry a club in their bag that they use less than once every 20 rounds.

This is a wasted spot in the bag.

If this applies to you, it's time to lose that club and replace it with something you will actually use.

The most common club that takes up space is the

According to the USGA, this is the length course you should play based on your average distance with driver:

275 yards: 6700 to 6900 yards
250: 6200 to 6400
225: 5800 to 6000
200: 5200 to 5400
175: 4400 to 4600
150: 3500 to 3700
125: 2800 to 3000

A scratch player will make double bogey or worse every ~26 holes they play.

A 15 index will make double bogey or worse every ~4 holes they play.

The maximum handicap index you can have is 54.0

If you carried a 54 index and played the tips at Kiawah Ocean Course, you would get 81 strokes!

On the nine hardest holes you would get five shots on EACH hole!

'What did you have on that par 5?'

'10 for a net par'

This is interesting.

Free relief from the jungle...

But you can't take relief from a divot in the fairway.

That makes sense. 😀

Your thoughts?

If...

All par 3s were the same length.
All par 4s were the same length.
All par 5s were the same length.

How long would a par 72 course need to be for the typical 12 index player to have a scoring avg of 72?

Answer:
3,820 yards

All par 3s = 35 yards
All par 4s = 216 yards

Does this surprise you?

From 120 yards in the fairway, the typical scratch player averages ~3.05 shots to hole out.
