Figured it was Arccos or something similar. My though process on my question was that the data isn’t just showing full swings and the variance in the most to least optimal outcomes for those clubs, but is also including say, a 7i where you intended to hit it 84 yards because you punched it under a tree and onto the green.
Jealous of your photo at Corsica. That place holds a special place in my heart as the first place I ever broke 80 and the first time I beat my dad. This was many years ago before the fancy renovation.
I can see how you would want that type of data especially as you get into that sub-80 zone. This level of detail is perfect for me at this point especially since I can compare my game to any handicap (currently comparing to a 20 handicap) and the system will tell me which areas I diverge most (for me it’s the 200-150 yds approach). The course gps is really good too.
hey there everyone, I’m a relatively new Nester-type fella. I have an 11-year old daughter who likes to putt on my practice mat… we’ve been out to the practice area of our local 9-hole pub course a couple times and she likes the colored balls i find from the course… i got her a putter from my time in Asia and other than the few trips to the practice green have NEVER forced a club in her hand… just want her to be drawn to it if ever… she seems to love it for a bit… next step is chipping because i was taught by my step mom who got me into the game, that we should all learn to play from the cup to the tee box… not forced at all, but she now is teetering into getting ‘big girl’ clubs, she says…
a nod to all the ladies on here, big congrats to @madkins for the bebe coming soon, hope you can play at the Burner… befriended @ChickPhilA on the 'Gram and am a HUGE fan of @gruetergolf and am looking to go to the Mixed Troubles event in Jersey coming this september…
just wanted to read about and support all the ladies in golf and especially the womyn here on the Refuge, coming from a dude that got into the game from his Stepmom, and wanna be able to play with my daughter well into retirement.
Thanks Mark! I’m pretty sure waddling up and down those hills at BCN isn’t a good idea that close to the due date, but I’ll swing by for a bit and I’m sure @cannonball will take advantage of a full day of golf before the baby’s arrival!
Can’t believe nobody has made a French-Canadian joke yet.
Hard for me to trust anything the NGF publishes, look at their board and management team. (Cc @WhatdidDelaware, as a journalist you should know this!!)
i learned how to play golf when i was a teenager and didn’t pick up a club again until i was in my mid-thirties. started following nlu last year on youtube and can’t get enough. i’m in the st. louis, missouri area. looking forward to the event in sarasota, florida.
Yeah, they’re an industry group, but they’re the only organization that collects statistics on playing. Anecdotally, women and girls are 80% of the new golfers at my club. Every beginner clinic for adult women fills up immediately.
NLU ladies- question for you. Do you use a bag/pouch of some type to hold your rings while you play?? My wife cant play wearing her rings, but always forgets to leave them at home or in the care. I was thinking of buying a valuables pouch/bag for her to secure her rings. Any suggestions welcome.
I play with mine on, but if I had to take off, my bag has a small mesh pocket with elastic at the top sewn into the apparel pocket that would work if I didn’t want an additional pouch/bag. It’s a Taylormade flex tech stand bag. This Ogio bag has a small jewelry pouch inside the lined valuables pocket as well.
If any jewelry she owns came with a small drawstring velour pouch, that’s what I would use to keep in my bag, something small enough so the rings don’t get lost in the valuables pocket if the bag didn’t have a sewn in “pouch”.
I have a friend who cannot tolerate wearing his wedding band while he plays, and he always just hooks it onto his key ring. I’ve always thought this was a super simple solution - even if you somehow lose your keys on the course, you’ve at least got some chance of finding them or having them turned in, while a loose ring is most likely a goner. Thought it was worth a mention!
I was on a bachelor party where one guy dropped his wedding ring in his pocket and promptly lost it. The panic that set in - we literally had to drive around the course looking for it (shocker - did not find) made me wonder why his wife would freak out that much.
They got divorced a few years later. Turns out that relationship was not built on trust, for good reasons on both sides.
I never take my ring off but my wife does a lot whenever she thinks her fingers might swell a bit. Suspect that would include golf if she played.
I don’t like to play with my wedding ring on, so I always, always put it in the “valuables” pocket of my golf bag. Lost it anyway a couple of months ago.
My husband and I have switched to silicone wedding rings, mostly because of golf—his hands were swelling when he played in the heat, but he felt naked without it on. I prefer the Enso brand (and this isn’t a solicitation, but I may be able to get a coupon for people if they can’t get one otherwise), especially since it lets me swing kettlebells (My hands don’t swell as much as his do when I play in the heat) without worrying about my ring.
Enso has a bunch of styles that look pretty snazzy, and their customer service is quite excellent.
Good man. I work in a travel heavy subset of consulting and number number of ‘dogs’ in my industry and people I have watched take them off, or just don’t wear them in general has always bothered me. I base none my thoughts here on religion, I just have a serious problem with variability here.
I always had a silicone ring for international travel that my wife and I bought right after we got married, and I think I’m all in on this. Started wearing it full time last March due to the sheer number of times I was working out in excess of normal life, and I’m not sure I’ll ever move away from it again. I have realized the few times that I put back on my initial hard wedding band that while I never felt it before trying out the silicon, I can now feel it in my golf grip.
