Shankster Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I recently took a personality test which revealed a lot about myself that I already knew, just strange to read about it from a scientific standpoint. I’m in the 3% of the population apparently, in the same category as Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Blaise Pascal, and Bill Gates for some examples. Otherwise know as a Logician... Taking this knowledge about myself, I am going to put this to use in my golf game. A change in the way I look at the course, a change in swing, and a change in my workout. My last round I kind of did this before taking this personality test, (yes it was for a college course), but I played shots I knew would work even if I didn’t pull them off (squishy ground), and used my natural fade shape off the tee and hit an enormous amount of fairways. The goal for 2021 is to get as close to 0 as I can. With the addition of the SkyTrack at work, I can dang near quadruple my practice.... Breaking this down in phases: Get distance averages. TBD Help me ObiWanShankobi... you’re my only hope. cksurfdude, JohnSmalls, Vegan_Golfer_PNW and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it didn't ask any golf related questions so I'll offer up a couple. You're a 150 yds from the green that's surrounded by bunkers. Do you go for the green or do you lay up. With a swing speed of 65 and you never make the fairway, your partners are playing from the tips. Do you feign an injury and still play from the tips or do you play from the women's tees? 48 minutes ago, MattF said: I just did it and tested as a Virtuoso. I KNEW I should have been an engineer.

Not laying up from 150. Dont short side yourself, and playing from a bunker with alot of green to work with is just as good as being 15 yards short in the fairway. I've seen too many people layup scared of a bunker and then leave a 20 yard shot over said bunker and end up in it anyway.
