another interesting admission there:
WGTPizza: Essentially, the patent is for legal protection. It does give us the
right to change the properties of clubs and balls, which we do often,
I will say that I can map my 9 iron at 130/1 yards FBS til I am blue in the face at Beth 10, low 2MPH cross wind. Now go elsewhere and 133 yards same shot to the eye. At Oly today (in a RG so...) I let the spin of a tiny tad and watched the ball fly nearly 138 yards (that's farther than I would get at Beth 10). Well that's too much for my putting to reliably cope with at a place like Oly for bird chance anyway.
I don't know how many notes some have, but mine are woefully inadequate I will say that. The extreme at Oly I put down as a my turn for the WTF, but if ball / club properties were being changed on this basis that's sad. Some holes do just play differently, and fair enough, and my notes per hole need to improve in striving to get better. Too much fiddling the other end would will kill the fun altogether though IMO. My tuppence worth.
Yes Jim..... that is why mapping club distances is useless mate. I find also the club distances change from day to day.
I take zero notes and do not play with putter pal or shot pal. Same thing happens on greens. Changing green speed from hole to hole mate. That is how they get you with the putts coming up short.
I just hit and hope to be within 20 feet of hole,,, so i can ram a putt on a champ green...lol.
I have not seen a champ green in a longtime really. I can't remember last time i putted on a true champ green. Just won the Oly. front nine ready go on champ greens,, sorry but those greens are not even close to champ speed.... maybe very fast at best. I even wonder if we still have champ greens here,,, they might have messed that up a few down times ago i think.
The game is more luck now than ever. The reason i will not be spending $40 for a new iron set anytime soon. Played a few Alt. shot matches with players that have the new Nike irons........ i don't see anything that is making me jump and buy them. They didn't hit any better shots than my R11s did.
I will wait...... and wait. Never bought the high level putter.... but yet my putting stats keep getting better and better... lol.
Bottom line once you have learned to play this game at a decent level.... taking notes is useless,, because they are messing with your shots way to much for you to look at notes taken from the past. Same with mulligans,,, mulligan for what?? As soon as you have a shot you practiced with mulligan... i can assure you result will not be the same.
Notebook....lol.... another money grab. Like TBE said... soon be charging for pencils.
