One of the things it talks about is managing expectations, that you aren't going to play your best stuff every time. One of the players they used as an example was Dustin Johnson, his scores over the season they used ranged from a 62 to a 78. I think my game is more fundamentally fucked than a run of poor form tbf. In all the years I've played, even as a junior, I don't think I've ever been in a position where I'm consistently standing over a shot with literally no idea what's going to happen. I've also developed some sort of inexplicable "yip" in my swing which results in an utterly vicious snap hook, it's completely destructive and resulted in 5 of my doubles yesterday. I used to be a decent ball striker and played off 4 or 5 for a long time year ago. Struggling to break 90 round Kirriemuir is pish. If anyone's interested there will possibly be a set of Ping i500s (Black Dot) for sale in a couple of months 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Is this them trying to turn the 13th into a 3 shotter? Not a fan of that if they are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in favour if it's still reachable in 2, but more risky. Hopefully, they are also building the tee in a manner that allows them to make it a genuine 3 shotter one day, but still have the potential to say "on you go lads" on others 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doulikefish Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Think they are going for it's a 2 shotter if you want to go for it but you are using the big dog and you ain't cutting the corner over the trees ala bubba.Think they have been trying to buy that land for some time to make sure it's driver and not 3 wood from the tee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was around 520 yards this year, don't think they are adding any more than 50 yards on so it will still be comfortably reachable in 2, but will need to be driver, and probably put even more emphasis on being able to hit a draw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Ramsay currently 20th and Syme, Ewen Ferguson and David Law all inside the top 40 in the Race to Dubai rankings after this week's event. It's been an unexpected resurgence by Ramsay, the majority of the guys above him in the standings play most of their golf on the PGA Tour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
