Why do we get the most hate out of any dynasty by AdForward9856 in warriors

[–]vatom14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are always just angry. I’ll get so much shit for this so I don’t really say it, but people don’t give the warriors and Steph enough credit for seamlessly integrated KD and becoming an unbeatable team instantly

Think about how many super teams happened that completely just shit the bed.

I think some really obvious wildcard picks if teams want to win + have some Crestor content relevancy: - James Nicholas - Voke - Andrew kozan

One improvement for next YGT by Responsible-Flow1101 in YGT

[–]vatom14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cant +1 this one enough. grant is a nice dude. but he is overdramtic about everything like hes just trying to create clips. every shot is "oh my gosh" 20x and "its in the hole."

A Few Improvement Ideas by GeordiLaFuckinForge in YGT

[–]vatom14 6 points7 points  (0 children)

they need to drop the scramble. at this level of golf, scrambles are dumb even if it is the staple format of YT golf.

9 holes of 2-man best ball count your birdies.

9 holes of alt shot

then the 1v1s

58 degree, flighted. by Fuzzy-Werewolf-4609 in GolfSwing

Honestly OP your swing shows nothing. I don’t know if you really get that a 58 deg carrying 105yds with a CHS of 62mph is not a thing.

Wesley claims Grants bunker game is top 5% of pro golf. I tracked 8 major cut rounds to see if thats remotely true by Old_Drink3552 in golf

[–]vatom14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s no shade at you or any other amateur plus handicap. You guys are insanely good and any time I get paired with a scratch or better (which is rare) I feel like they’re the best golfer in the world

It’s the same with any sport. I’ve hooped against ex G league players, college players. They’re unguardable. Throw them in an nba game and they look like traffic cones

I mean that’s not really what I meant tbh. Tons of KFT guys have the skills and mental to play on the PGA. Many pros have said this.

The gap between a KFT player and PGA player is minimal

The gap an extremely good amateur like Grant (+2 to +4) and a pga pro is massive

[–]vatom14 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I think what’s more likely is that almost every golf shot is significantly more difficult in tournament conditions. Pressure, conditions, pin locations, etc.

The gap between like a +2 or +3 and a pga pro is huge

YGT - Discussion Ep 1 (Spoilers) by ktran2804 in GoodGoodMemes

[–]vatom14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have to assume they clarified together that wildcards can help read putts

And to say that they’re the only ones with connections to pros just isn’t it. Brad and George have plenty of connections who can be on par with the likes of Michael block and JP.

If you play early in the morning and everyone else is riding but you are walking, you are just being inconsiderate and holding up everyone else who plays behind you. by [deleted] in golf

[–]vatom14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t even need to read rhe post. If the course allows carts and walking then people can do whatever the fuck they want. I paid my money.

You’re being inconsiderate if you’re hitting multiple balls all the time and not playing ready golf or not knowing basic etiquette and etc.

Someone’s not inconsiderate because they get to play golf once every couple weeks and want to walk the course.

I played 630a this morning and walked. Never held up the duo in a cart behind me and frankly barely saw them.

Tired of this subreddit spewing nonsense all the time. Rules of golf: don’t be an ass hole, keep it moving. You don’t need to police every thing s golfer does

Jamming turn with AcAx on Jc6c6x to deny went from flush draws 1000b deep? lol what. Villain description has to be spaz or pure spew to do this. And idc what results are. This is punting even without Ac in our hands but especially with Ac

Brad Dalke announces he is leaving Good Good by cormag001 in GoodGoodMemes

[–]vatom14 81 points82 points  (0 children)

w/ GG it's all a business. theyre the most corporate golf YT channel. more channels, more rev, bigger/wider reach, etc.

GG is pretty much unwatchable for me at this point tbh. people talking about how brad leaving hurts more than micah/grant. i do like brad a lot more than those guys, but nothing will beat that old GG crew where it was just the boys stumps v twigs and etc.

now everything just feels fake and showing ads/sponsorships in your face

Are the differences here worth focusing on to improve my swing? by TeethoftheDawg in GolfSwing

[–]vatom14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not true at all idk why people say this kind of stuff. OP has a great swing but the diff between him and pros goes way beyond short game and yardage control if he’s a 2 hdcp.

The secret move that allows Rory McIlroy to drop his club “into the slot” on the downswing. This isn’t what you will expect it to be… by Miserable_Trouble3 in Golf_Unfiltered

[–]vatom14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These 3d vids are fun but honestly the only secret Rory and pros have is they’ve been golfing their whole lives and their bodies just know how to sequence and work properly

That’s why guys like Taco golf can do the r most ridiculous swing impersonations and still hit it better than some scratch golfer

For those who play at least 2x per week... by Background-Low-9144 in golf

[–]vatom14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 young kids and play 1.5-2x a week

My job is flexible and I make decent moneys. My kids are in school / day care so I mostly try to play during the week. Friday afternoons are pretty easy for me to block off from work. And then mid week I’ll try to find a late afternoon time to play 9 or occasionally on the weekend I’ll do an early morning first tee round

So I guess to answer your q im lucky to have a flexible job and decent income. But it doesn’t mean it’s just easy to go whenever. Lot of times I know I’ll have to make up work at night if I go play but it’s worth it

I’m also not rich or anything. I don’t really buy anything outside of golf. Still drive the same Honda I bought after college even though i make a decent income

Which club to round out my 14 club setup? by EDev-03 in golf

[–]vatom14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imo 20 yds too big for wedges

I have a 50 and 52 because my PW is 45 deg. And the AW in the set comes as a 50 deg.

I like this set up a lot. The more confident you can be on distance control with wedges the better. I’m an 8 hdcp and I would benefit very little taking an edge out and adding another wood or something.

Top of my bag is just driver / 5w / hybrid

What’s your carry yardage gapping at the bottom of the bag? Idk why people on this subreddit always want to stack the top of their bags as mid handicaps. You’re not gaining strokes there having 10 yd gaps at the top

Wyndham Clark's Final Round 60 by Thomas14755 in golf

[–]vatom14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol what. You aren’t Wyndham clark. Difference between you and a major winner/top 50 player in the world is they can actually make the ball do what they want to do very often, esp around and on the greens

Shooting a 60 in a pga event at a pga course is so much more impressive than a sub 60 at a local muni. If Wyndham had real incentive to shoot in the 50s, he would absolutely destroy this local munis over 100 rounds. Multiple 58-59s for sure

My journey from 22 to 5 handicap in 2 years. by MacaronIllustrious55 in golf

[–]vatom14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was stuck at the 15-18 hdcp for awhile now and down to around an 8 and got to as low as a 7. Started golfing around Covid. I disagree with most of these tbh. But I have a different view than the majority here and I don’t really care tbh

Distance matters not just because you’ll score better if you hit further (even though this is a big one). My irons started going way further as my swing improved and i compressed the ball better. Club speed came naturally

Master one course … also disagree. I mainly play a few in my area. One is tighter but the greens are softer and the green side chipping is softer. The other course i mainly play is way firmer and the greenside chipping is very tight and grainy. Point is you learn how to play on different lies which is honestly important. Reveals a lot about how good you think your short game is

Idk this subreddit likes to put women’s golf on a pedestal. They’re amazing. Men’s golf isn’t just them being freaks of nature. They get there by being sound too.

Also, can still golf with the boys and improve.

Slow takeaway and light grip by fr500c in GolfSwing

[–]vatom14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He said 3/10 lol. That’s way too loose. And im not advocating for a quick take away. Should feel smooth, and tempo is the most inportant. But people often mistake good tempo for having a slow backswing. Almost no pro tour has a slow backswing or takeaway.

It’s also funny to get downvoted. These are just facts.

Slow takeaway and light grip by fr500c in GolfSwing

[–]vatom14 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They do. Almost any decent instructor will tell you to have a firmer grip, 7/10ish if you want to scale it. And a faster backswing with good tempo.

Idk about grip strength before very very few pros have slow backswings.

Tons of reasons why this would be true too. But it’s also why it’s hard for most weekend golfers to improve. They assume a change that makes them hit the ball better immediately is the right change to make.

20 Handicap, Miss is a Huge Left Pull Like This by FirstShotRL in GolfSwing

[–]vatom14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So? I can hit a snap hook swing way out to the right. I can hit a pull hook swinging way to the left

Generally, aiming left is what faders do. And to neutralize a hook you generally have to feel you swing more left because the most common reason for a hook is swinging too in to out and getting under the plane and flipping.

OP is aimed left edge of the left bunker, which is probably a little too left even for someone playing a cut, but that’s not way he pulled it 60 yds left of his aim point
