    I've hit the exact same shot, same angle, with the same club, lie, wind, and pin placement and had variances of 15 yards or more to the green.

    Quit bragging.

    .....but due to semantics, I'm not wrong in my statement either.

    Nice try, but I see what you're doing.

    MainzMan:

    How boring would it be if the same shot produced the same result every time?  Great for our scores but at the end of the day the players who currently dominate the leader boards would continue to do so.

    Yes MainzMan it would be boring for sure,, but the way this is happening its not across the board.

    Nope.....the variance is only attacking certain players that enter tourney,, not everyone.

    Some games you are left alone to score well,, while others you are hit with long and short shots that land short in bunker, or over shoot green.

    That is my problem with the whole issue. If going to do that do evenly across the board.

    See where i'm going? But........ if did it even across the board the better players would still win! Again... the way it should be!!

    Not being screwed over so some lucky player can win. Game suppose to be skill right??

    Without any doubt this game at the moment skill is taking the back seat.

    Right now must hope when enter tourney that its your turn. That is not how real golf is played.

    You will never see a 5 hcp golfer beat a scratch player. Not going to happen. Players should be rewarded for their time spent in learning this game. Not screwed over so someone else can win. Especially when playing for money!

    Edit: I have a good one to share. Playing a MP game the other day against a good legend player. We were all square going into #9 on Beth. 10 mph tailwind,, i hit first and cut corner of dogleg. He gets up and does same thing..... but.... his R1 with Nike ball only flies 268 and finds the bunker.... game over.

    I asked him if he hit that good. He said yes and said he hit perfect and never seen that before. Really to be honest i could have missed that shot badly and still made it over the bunker.

    Bottom line my man got screwed.... period. Seeing it way to much of late also. Game decides when you lose.

    Was it pretty consistent within a 9.5 foot radius?

    You tell me.  I had 2 short and 1 long drive.

    Looks like it was. Take away the long and short and it's even tighter. Now, how do you think your exercise was affected by taking those shots all at once. Did you use the mulligan feature here? I realize you only took the dings but I'm wondering if successive shots affects the influence.

    The test was made using a weekly 9 hole unlimited tournament with no wind so mulligans were not available.  I had to restart after each shot.  I think that the restart could also affect, if not negate, any theory of successive shot influence.
