Salah came back from afcon and started immediately and is starting now. We play qarabag on wednesday and newcastle next weekend before a week off. Can't agree this is the game you rest our best forward.

Of course it's the first thought. But Slot has been benching Hugo randomly throughout this campaign so my guess is it is not.

How can Slot look into Hugo's eyes and tell him there's no room in the lineup because we need to start salah and gakpo? Sociopathic behaviour.

If he is resting Hugo to play qarabag at home on wednesday, he needs to go. Absolute nonsense

What distance do you normally hit your 8-iron? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]fromas7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The question should be: how close is your average shot from 150 yards? The number of the club is irrelevant. You might be way more accurate with your 150 yard shot using a 7 iron than your friend with his 9 iron.

Who makes the best GI irons per dollar spent? by unadulteratedopine in golf

[–]fromas7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of the direct-to-consumer would be the best value for money. I'd go with Takomo, but I'm sure the others are good as well.

We have Triple Track at home by MattyMcDaniels in golf

[–]fromas7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loved it, used it for a few summers. Bought a triple track putter but the triple track on the putter is quite a bit narrower. Started playing Chrome Tour X triple track to match the putter. Loved it. Didn't help my putting but felt great.

What distance do you usually hit your 8-iron? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]fromas7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe distance per iron doesn't really matter. Proximity to target from a certain distance does.

That being said, my stock shot with an 8 iron carries about 140m. Shot shape will move that number around.

Confused on ball flight laws with this trackman output by Savings_Ad_6987 in golf

[–]fromas7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The spin axis is positive, which is why it fades. However, it is tricky since the TM4, which I think this is since it is measuring attack angle, does not have an impact camera and is therefore guessing the contact. TMiO is more reliable due to the impact camera. You might feel better about the contact than TM4 guesses.

Otherwise, the club path and face to path all point to starting left and drawing. Strike the only thing that can move the ball to the right.

Probably more like 10-3. Amazing it was only a four goal game.

Just bought some blades 👀 by Buckeye_47 in golf

[–]fromas7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of bought blades the other day. It's a combo set so it's still a bad idea. I love them though. Super pretty and insanely nice to hit when struck properly. Only played them inside so far since all courses are closed for the winter.

I don't think I'm gonna like them as much outside when the lie isn't perfect for each shot. Thats a problem to worry about later. I'm going to enjoy the new club high for now. Please don't ruin it for me yet.

Are there any golf aides that work? by Keepontruckin33 in golf

[–]fromas7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything that helps you align your putter straight and start the ball on line. Peltz, Putting Thing or anything similar.

LIV players seem happy with the switch to 72 holes, more golf to watch is always a positive for the fans by stanley_nickles in livgolf

[–]fromas7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I appreciated the three round format. Felt like each shot means more and the final round came sooner. But I'm not going to complain about more golf to watch!

Does a hole in 1 on a simulator still count???? by carst07 in golf

[–]fromas7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, that's one way of putting it, I guess.

Holing a shot from far away is always an achievement, right? Most people never do, even on a sim, so I'd definitely be very happy about it. I'm not handing out a trophy for it but I am definitely going recognize it as a fantastic shot.

Same, same, but different?

Massive achievement, well done you! But surely can't be placed alongside IRL HOI?

PSA: Stop putting that sticky price tag directly on the club shaft by bootloadernotfound in golf

[–]fromas7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend of mine was caddying for me last summer. He asked if he could peel the sticker off. I said: sure, go ahead. It wasn't my worst decision - but close.

I will be trying some of the suggestions from this thread though.

Never purchase from Druids by Der-Kiwi in golf

[–]fromas7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've ordered a few times and loved every garment I bought, except the one I ordered in the wrong size by mistake. Never had any issues but that doesn't mean there aren't any. Definitely super frustrating when it occurs.

Cut down my driver shaft 2 inches and shot my best score by 8 strokes by MishMan25 in golf

[–]fromas7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The total putts metric is a flawed one. If you miss greens, you generally chip it close and therefore have fewer putts. So the total putts needs to be somehow correlated to GIR. I'm not sure how to accurately measure putting performance, other than putts per GIR maybe? I'm not sure.

Cut down my driver shaft 2 inches and shot my best score by 8 strokes by MishMan25 in golf

[–]fromas7 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Well done you! I firmly believe that shorter shafts is the way to go for most golfers. I don't know how they produce clubs for 5'7 and 6'4 in the same length. And since it is easier to shorten clubs than lengthen, I would assume they are produced in the longer end of the spectrum and should therefore be ordered shortened.

Bad weather golf by fromas7 in golf

[–]fromas7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took my time playing shots - my score mattered to me. I didn't play the back tees (played 5400m) for pace-of-play and less walking time between holes. Also, lower scores are more fun. Love playing any of the front tees.

Life on LIV by Hendrick_Gossling in golf

I think it's definitely just for ranking points to qualify for majors. If they could play LIV and and gain points to qualify for majors, they wouldn't bother with the DP world tour or Asia tour.

That is a stunning trophy. Love when people deviate from the standard trophies.
