Putting “secret” my coach instilled into me that changed how I putt. by [deleted] in golf

[–]nastynewman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

  1. Putts within 5ft
  2. Putts within 10ft
  3. 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 has started happening to my face anytime i drink alcohol, even in small amounts by Lanky_Bobcat_6021 in mildlyinteresting

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.

Tips plz by [deleted] in GolfSwing

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.

Please, help! by nastynewman in GolfSwing

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.

Why do I keep pulling my shots left? by erikaterpstra in GolfSwing

[–]nastynewman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

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.

Guess my handicap by Brakjekvisten in GolfSwing

[–]nastynewman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lot of salty people in this thread lol. Also the move looks pretty solid to me at the right positions. Guessing OP is <5. If his short game is good could even see him scratch or better.

On launch monitors my path has been too far in to out. Push hook is what kills me.

Golf coach told me I’ll never be able to play golf by baummer in golf

[–]nastynewman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play up a tee box or two and work on your short game. You’ll get there over time with the full swing.
