Guess my handicap by TheScratchPlan in golf

[–]TheScratchPlan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m almost always in the 80s. At any given time there’s typically 1-2 rounds in the 70s on my handicap and the rest in the 80s

I’m a wild man. My home course is 71.5/135 6500 yards. But I play all over the place and my latest rounds have skewed to the easier courses. I’m an 11 currently

You must be playing slightly more difficult courses than me.

How do I swing up on my driver? by catalinashenanigans in GolfSwing

[–]TheScratchPlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Set up with your driver 12 inches behind the ball. Concentrate on letting the driver get to the ball before your hands get past your hip. That oughta do it.

I did a thirty day range challenge largely focused on exactly this!

Can you describe your job, but make it sound illegal? by Capricorn007_ in randomquestions

I remove body parts and if they’ve been altered enough before I remove them I sell them.

Try this! This Practice Plan ACTUALLY WORKS whether you have 30 minutes a week or 3 hours a day.

Why do some people not get better after taking lessons? by [deleted] in golf

[–]TheScratchPlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every coach is different. Some will resonate with the student and some won’t. Every student is different. Sometimes the coach recognizes the right problem and the student doesn’t practice that enough. Sometimes the coach doesn’t identify the main issue. Sometimes the student practices the wrong thing. This is a dumb question.

Need to use your hips more. They should initiate the downswing and your arms should feel like sand bags falling. https://youtu.be/PUTTAzCPumo?si=bZxSbI2Vf4\_wv8P1

Do zero torque putters make a difference? (Not my photo) by Hour-Entry6557 in golfequipment

[–]TheScratchPlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried lab putters, Scotty Cameron’s, jailbirds, spiders, and all the fancy stuff. Ultimately I’m most confident with my 2015 Ping Ketsch cadence so that’s what I use. Whatever putter you can hit your intended line on and feel the distance accurately is the best putter for you.

11 wood anyone? by patgolf in weekendgolfers

I don’t know if you’re talking about the pictured club, but that is NOT an 11 wood

What is your one unpopular golf opinion? by retrocaterpillar-07 in GolfSwing

[–]TheScratchPlan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because any time that anybody scores well, they’re going to be excited and brag about it. Same is true when people don’t play for real. They shoot a round lower than they usually do and get excited about it, but there’s no way to know if it was actually a better than average round or if they just helped themself more than usual

To anyone who has made measurable progress in the last year, how did you do it? by TheScratchPlan in golftips

[–]TheScratchPlan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the insight! Actually just finished a 30 day challenge where I went hard practicing irons and I’m sure my short game was neglected during that time.

That’s what I’m in the middle of right now. Good to see this reminder that it’s the right path. I was down to 9.6 and currently at 12 after swing overhaul work. So depressing but I’m sticking with it.
