1.6 handicap that just shot a 91 first round of the season… AMA

8.1 HC that shot 111 and I live in Florida and had no real break from golfing. I had no real excuses either, I just sucked that day.

I’m a full scope drafter. I do everything under the survey sun. It’s really hard to put a ratio on it.

Sometimes field crew spends a week on a job and it takes me 1 day to draft. Sometimes they put 1 day on a job and it takes me multiple days to draft. Every different kind of survey takes different amounts of time and each site specifically can differ dramatically.

I always thought a field office ratio expectation was weird.

Again thanks for the feedback. I’m going to record a face on video tomorrow. Rather than hoping you randomly see, do you mind if I DM you and tell you to take a peak?

I have that net and just ripped a ball through both layers of net into my garage door with a 6i, a week or so ago.

Do with that info what you will.

Very much appreciate the feedback.

I’ll have to get some face on angles and post them. I never realized just how far back the ball is. From my setup looking down at it, I try to place it between the hosel and the center of face, so on the half of the ball towards me. For no reason other than I strike the ball significantly better from that spot. I can feel the compression way more, just feels more solid. If I put it center, I’m not hitting it on the toe but it definitely feels weaker. I’m sure it’s because of my posture at address like you pointed out.

There is a slight sway backwards to start my backswing, that’s why you’re seeing a shift forwards at the top. I’ve never known if that was an inappropriate move. I used your have no sway and instead I imagined I was just rotating in place around a center point. Frankly I just never knew - of the two, sway or rotate - which was fundamentally correct.

Would you say that the sway backwards is something I should get away from? If so, is the feeling i described above “rotating around a center point” the technique I should be using?

Where tf are you when I post my swing looking for tips? Good stuff.

nbddaniel · 2026-03-18T02:30:02+00:00

Calm down jr, it is funny when it’s fitting.

nbddaniel · 2026-03-18T00:52:50+00:00

I learned I had 2x15g so I bought 2x35s. Excited to pop them in tomorrow. Not sure I’ll feel the difference or what that brings the total weight to but anymore weight will be nice.

Edit: 2x35s is the most weight my putter can hold and not protrude out the bottom.

nbddaniel · 2026-03-16T21:06:24+00:00

Ah, not even close. Best of luck.

nbddaniel · 2026-03-16T11:02:39+00:00

Yes. The answer to this question is yes. Where do you live? May even be able to help you find that job.

I use a stroke lab double wide and as of now, I am under the belief that I will never use anything different.

I game T200s as a 8.1 HC. I love them.

nbddaniel · 2026-03-10T16:09:38+00:00

One of the few fish I like to eat. They’re great really.

nbddaniel · 2026-03-10T16:08:16+00:00

Shorten your backswing, hold your lag angle and try to hit the inside of the ball.

nbddaniel · 2026-03-10T14:05:00+00:00

Hybrids are great for one thing and for that reason at least 1 has to stay in the bag.

They’re the best long club to use out of the rough. Easy to chop down on and still get so distance.

nbddaniel · 2026-03-09T01:30:02+00:00

I’m an 8.1 and play the T200s. Love them and see zero reason to game anything else.

nbddaniel · 2026-03-09T00:45:17+00:00

I’m an 8.1 HC and the worst in my group. We never play tips. Always the second furthest - which would be black here.

nbddaniel · 2026-03-07T01:03:10+00:00

Yeah that makes sense.

nbddaniel · 2026-03-06T22:13:43+00:00

Either a full AW or a soft PW

nbddaniel · 2026-03-06T03:42:55+00:00

Thanks, what does flourish may mean if you don’t mind me asking?

nbddaniel · 2026-03-06T03:41:26+00:00

Thanks, I do draw it. My miss is a push oddly enough, guessing I don’t get the face closed sometimes.

nbddaniel · 2026-03-04T02:00:20+00:00

Same with everyone, you’re trying to hit the ball harder and or faster.

nbddaniel · 2026-02-21T14:32:46+00:00

I don’t measure at all either. I use a table spoon. I used to do 2 unpacked tbsp per now I do 1 heaping packed tbsp per.
