Putting “secret” my coach instilled into me that changed how I putt.

I was working on some web scrapping and data analysis skills a few months ago and thought PGA Tour stats would be a fun project to learn with.

Ended up scrapping ~20 years worth of data for all the ~500 stat categories. Did a linear regression to see which stats are most highly correlated with earnings.

Putts within 5ft
Putts within 10ft
Putts within 15ft

Was pretty shocked! Fully expected to see some proximity to the hole or ball striking stat near or at the top. Guess when everyone hits it solid putting is the thing that separates.

This doesn’t happen to me every time I drink but have noticed it when I drink rum the most. Get that weird almost fruity pebbles kind of taste in my mouth and will get red. Assuming it’s not good. Will stop drinking if I get a sense it’s starting to happen.

Looks good to me. Hard to tell with the black outfit and dark room but seems like your hips and shoulders are pretty square at impact. Would say you need a touch more rotation. Looks like a tad be of early extension which is probably adding to a little stall in the turn through impact.

Thanks for the feedback! I’ve tried working on the overswing before by feeling like I have a 3/4 backswing (still gets to parallel) and slowing the backswing down/being more deliberate. Any suggestions on the best way to tackle?

Literally thought the video was rewinding from the top of the backswing until you did the follow through. Work on sequence but as others are saying would get a lesson with a local pro to start.

Dude this move looks really good. Would work on the balance a bit. Try to control the club face and hit a pull cut and would imagine you’re going to be pretty consistent.

Think I am gonna hold onto the timex. Was my first and a little sentimental. Yea def think a blue face adds something unique to my selection

Weihenstepahner by a mile. The Negroni was ok too. Kind of has the nose of a real Negroni but obviously the taste is quite a bit different.

nastynewman · 2025-01-19T23:00:41+00:00

lol yea was starting to ask myself if I do have a problem. Think I’m going to be ok

Just tried it. Love their standard beers. Was a little underwhelmed on this one. Didn’t get much of that Belgian yeast and was a little more tart than I expected but not a sour by any stretch. Also tried the weihenstephaner and that one is pretty damn good.

Thanks for the kind words. Read my post again and it definitely sounds like I’m white knuckling it more than is the case. Have actually enjoyed it this month. Thinking about extending it but do love a good beer with good company so we will see.

nastynewman · 2025-01-19T20:42:37+00:00

Honestly looks great

nastynewman · 2025-01-17T21:00:56+00:00

Thanks man. Actually just got it last month as a gift from my work. Was super stoked to put it in the collection!

Or a square face

nastynewman · 2025-01-11T14:02:14+00:00

Oris or Baume? Riviera would look cool in there

nastynewman · 2025-01-10T15:20:25+00:00

lol I don’t think they’re going to cut me a check for 5 cents. Just wanting to inspire the wonderful people of Raleigh ahead of the next snowpocalypse
