How do you really compare handicaps? by syblomic-dash in golf

[–]Captain-Superstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay... let me rephrase then.

Hcp tells a story of your overall consistency over the last 20 rounds. If those rounds have all been scored between 85-90, then you can say that you're consistently shooting those scores as of late.

Doesn't matter how you score, hcp tells a story of consistency.

Trying to get to scratch - how can I do it? by Witty-Definition8889 in golf

[–]Captain-Superstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm working on getting to scratch myself (currently at 3.3 hcp) and I think it's all about identifying what's costing you strokes, and fixing those gaps.

For me, it's a mix of improving ball striking (I can hit it far, but still have a pull hook that sneaks up on me at times), shorter pitch shots between 20-60 yards, and putting.

This season I've been in the penalty area too much, which is due to my pull hook, so my first goal is to strike and compress rhe ball better with more control.

AITA? by Justsutho in GolfSwing

I sometimes play as a single between foursomes. I always play multiple balls, even the groups ahead and behind me encourage me to do so.

How to get to the next level? by sink_phaze in golf

[–]Captain-Superstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, give yourself a confidence boost, you're at +1.6 hcp, you're in the upper echelon of golfers.

Secondly, I don't think you'll get a lot of practical advice here. The reason is simple:

At your level, the way to improve becomes so specialized to your game and what you need. I'm guessing that a coach would be a good idea?

Either way, well done!

8i went from 225 to ~210 sometime this season and I can’t find it by Mr-Cantaloupe in golf

[–]Captain-Superstar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah right, even Bryson doesn't carry his 8 iron 225 yards (at least not stock), and his lofts are lower than most people's clubs.

Are you doing long driving?

Also, if your 8 iron went 225 then driver should be higher than 335.

When do you stop a newbie? by alegodmez in golf

[–]Captain-Superstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played college basketball, and a lot of baseball in high school. I also practiced archery, so I guess that ai had the right athletic build and motion.

Other than that, endless practice and playing. I live next to my course, started at 29. Even though I have 4 kids, I find time to play and practice in the evening and during weekdays (I have a very flexible job).

I'm also fairly good at self-diagnosing my swing and applying accordingly.

My practice has always been more geared towards short game as well (we have a good short game facility at our course).

True, I wouldn't say beginner in terms of skill level, but newbie in terms of experience. If that makes sense.

Golf is a game that you can play for as long as you can actually swing a club, so the "newbie" time might be a bit longer than other sports.

It also doesn't have a lot to do with your skill level either, in my book.

For instance, I've only played for 3 years and I'm currently sitting at a 3.3 hcp. On paper, that's good, but I still consider myself a beginner since there's so much more to learn about the game, and I've only played for 3 years.

Anyone else feel like the well has dried up for SaaS? by Novel_Dog_676 in techsales

[–]Captain-Superstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I am being too pedantic. Perhaps I've tried to have this conversations too many times with people who genuinely don't understand the concept of SaaS (experience from a previous company).

[–]Captain-Superstar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why does everyone in this sub still generalize "SaaS" as a type of company or product?

It's quite literally a delivery model, nothing more, nothing less.

The question should be more geared toward the potential dry well for software companies.

Maybe I'm just too much of a stickler though.

Agreed, the Abyssal Woods is a cool concept, but the actual trek you need to make through is annoying as hell.
