So let’s add to the question, would Scotty be number 1 if all the players on the LIV tour still played on the PGA tour?
Yes

So, I have been looking for a new bag for my clubs. I wanted some advice from everyone. I usually will hop in a cart but will every so often throw the bag on my shoulders and walk the course. Do you recommend two different bags why? Do you prefer a stand bag? What are your thoughts on the advantages and disadvantages of each? Also, what are your recommendations and why?
I prefer hybrid bags. I use a push cart, ride, and when I go to the range I carry and there are sometimes long walks to the range, For the range a stand bag is what I want so I can easily put the bag down. Stand bags are often lighter and don’t do well on a push or riding cart hence my preference for a hybrid type bag.

Maybe slightly related to this post...I recently ordered a new driver & shaft with the instructions to trim the shaft down 1" on a stiff shaft. When it finally arrived the shaft was cut down 2.25" to an overall length of 43". I'm short 5'6"...how much will that effect the new driver, having it cut down so far? Any advice would be great, as shaft properties are very new to me. Thanks
Was it 1” tip trim based on OEM instructions and then. Butt cut to desired length?

I wonder how they count "viewership"? is that someone who watches from beginning to end? 3-4 hours of watching a golf tournament is a big commitment - even if it's the Masters. Or is it someone who turns it on for the last hour?
It is probably based on Neilson type ratings. Selected people document what they watch and how much time they spent watching.

I think it's more likely due to having too many other entertainment options and changing viewing habits.
I’ll agree with this post. With the rise YouTube golf channels I think people are getting more enjoyment watching the influencers play golf than the pros. I think the article MGS did recently is spot on.

Scottie is possibly a generational type player and currently there isn’t anyone close especially when looking at consistency and play from tee to green. His putting is a bit better and if it continues to improve there will be possibly more separation. Looking down the list I think the only player that could pass him is Aberg. Most of the others are established top OWGR players and really aren’t challenging. Aberg made some mental mistakes coming down the stretch of the Masters and if he can develop the mental game Scottie has he will be the next number one.

Thinking of getting a new 3 wood. Its the only club I cant hit in my bag. I have a Taylormade Stealth with 15 degree loft and stiff shaft. When I first tried it out it seemed to work fine but recently Ive just lost the consistency. I have been changing my swing throughout the off season so maybe thats it? Was thinking I might need a different loft. Has anyone else had this issue and does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks!
Hitting a tru e 3 wood isn’t easy. Many people go to 4 wood (16.5*) because the loft and shorter shaft make it a little easier to hit.

I am with @RickyBobby_PR; learn to hit the ball low with different clubs. Recovery shots are shots intended to get me back in position and are not hero shots. You other option is to put different clubs in your back, but you will, still need to learn how to hit the low punch out type of shot.

@nupezb I actually ended up getting a shotscope H4 myself. Used it a few times. Just trying to get used to the tagging system
It takes a little while, just try to add it as part of your preshot routine. I Tagged the club when I was standing behind the ball

Last night was league night. Gorgeous evening with temps in the 60s. My handicap for this course is a 3. Started off poorly and snapped hooked first tee shot OB and ended up with a triple to begin the round. Approach shot on my second hole caught a branch and knocked the ball down; burned the edge on the par putt to bogey the hole. Was able to turn it around after that and finished the remaining 7 holes at even par with a birdie and bogey.
Tee shots were a weakness; I only hit 1 fairway and that was with an iron. Short game was probably the best it has been in a long time and it was needed since I only hit 4 greens. Putting was good with 15 putts and based on strokes gained was 0.10 strokes better than a PGA pro.

I wanted to provide an ongoing update to the review. I am back to being able to play golf after my surgery in January. I have played 2 league matches since starting back and the MC 3 stripe is in the bag. The greens had been recently aerated during my first match so I didn’t track strokes gained but felt like I putted pretty well. I did track during my second match and had 15 putts and gained 0.10 strokes against a PGA professional level. I really didn’t hit a bad putt and the missed putts were starting online and burning the edges. The putter definitely fits my stroke and the alignment lines help me aim where I want to start the ball. Dedicated practice has also been a benefit to my putting since that was one of the only things I could do in February and March.

I suppose this is kind of a dumb question but realistically how much would 7* of more toe hang make? I have a versa 3 t s and keep looking at the 5k rossie s. Versa has 43* rossie s has 50*
Hard to say. There are other factors that will contribute such as head weight and total weight. If all things are equal the additional 7* will make the putter want to stay a little more open to the path. There will be other schools of thought that will say it makes zero difference.

IMO, comes down to the mental game. All the PGA players have exceptional talent but the mental course management mistakes are where they tend to falter. Morikawa and a few others in their post round interview said they got too aggressive and tried to force things. I think Scheffler is just able to maintain the same mental presence no matter where he is on the leaderboard and continue to play a fundamentally sound course management strategy.

I know this is a dark topic but i feel as if i have been seeing more posts on violence on the course whether its physical assault attempts or just verbal abuses. Is this a trend thats on the rise or is it an outcome of golf popularity?
MO, has nothing to do with golf but more the current state of society as a whole.

If I still have it then I'm sure I could. Now... transporting all 8 shafts might be more difficult, but I'll see what I can do!
Just now, GolfSpy_BNG said:If Bryan wants to log it that far I’m betting we can work something g out with Colin and Terra Forza
I was joking and know @GolfSpy BOSis coming a long distance. I don’t know if it matters but the range balls at Kingsmill are limited flight.

I had a successful test run of using the app over the weekend with my brother and @GolfSpy_SHARK I can take the setup out and about.
If you want to give it a try we can meet somewhere in the middle and give it a go!
Is it coming to Virginia at the end of May?

It is already plural.

All things being equal, amount of spin, distance off center, etc. For a righty does a draw versus a fade roll farther? Does a fade have backwards spin versus a draw having forward spin or do they both have forward spin? My best drives have a slight fade and I rarely hit a draw.
With all things equal the rollout will be equal. Balls hit don’t have forward spin until they have interaction with the ground.
generalizing a draw will have a little less spin than a fade so it will roll out farther. all things are not equal when you hit shots. You need to factor in spin, descent angle, path, etc.

Will you be cart walking, carrying, cart only, or Aota??
I use a push cart and ride depending on where I play. That said, a few of the courses I play have a long walk from the parking lot to the range/clubhouse so it will be carried some.
1 hour ago, Preeway said:Can't encourage enough to purchase a cart strap protector for those times when you do choose to take a cart.
This is an interesting dynamic with premium bags. They charge you a premium price yet there is a recommended additional purchase if you ride in a cart. There are also situations at higher end clubs where the bags are loaded by attendants which means you have to unstrap the bag and then put on the protector.

Most wanted testing day today so I got in a little practice time. Pitching/chipping seems to be coming along but full swing is not great. Not sure if it is just rust or compensations and/or apprehension to avoid potentially hurting myself. Thinking I need to take a couple of lessons to work on some fundamentals.

I purchased one and received it last week. Have 1 round with it at this time but I can definitely say it is much better than the H4 for ease of use on the course and navigation between screens. The only improvement I would like to see is adjustment for screen brightness. While visibility is fine on the course, it is hard to see clearly in lower light conditions or glare. It is stated the reason for this is to save battery during operation.
Why do you think it is easier than the h4? I thought the H4 was extremely easy to use.

They did give me a prescription for Losartin and hopefully it'll keep the high blood pressure in check, they also prescribed Zyrtec to help clear up the allergies since they were still enflamed.
I just find it weird that a couple of doctors were like "your BP was 180/110... Meh". Lose weight and diet, which I do need to do.
Right now I just want to be able to go back to work without burning up all my time off.
Keep monitoring you BP, if it is really caused by something else you don’t want it to go too low.
