I'm going to try and be a small voice of reason, just hear me out.
I am basing my observations on 3-6 RG's a day.
I can honestly say that if I am dinging it, I'm going to be close to the hole.
Some days on some courses a missed ding is 40 feet offline, other days the same miss is 12 feet.
Now, what I notice, even on the bad miss days, the ding still is King and plays at it should.
I've fought the ding and posted a 31 in a SA F9 low ind RG and made credits, I've had the rounds where I posted a 29 missing like crazy, just to break even.
Why do I bring this up? Well, personally I think each course plays easy or hard for that particular day, we may get frustrated in a high wind RG when we hit early to hold our line, yet the ball stays straight and ignores a 30mph cross wind, when the day before, it landed 3 feet from the hole..
I think this is evident when you review the leader board, some days a 30 wins a RG,, same course the next round a 26 wins it.
I really think those that adjust and see this early, have a better chance of posting a good score.
I can only offer up two cents, because Lee is much older than me and saved more pennies that he has converted;)
