But nobody tracks scoring where you consider the first cut of rough as if it was a fairway. I am sure that scoring from 1st cut is way better than scoring from the real wilds. So, the tally for scoring from the rough is improved. Which bolsters the idea that you can bomb away and not worry about accuracy. Driving accuracy is underrated?

I’m not sure what you mean by debunking “drive for show and putt for dough”. There are plenty of stats out there showing driving stats aren’t as needle moving as approach and short game. Yes, we’ve proven the value of length off the tee but fairways hit just isn’t a key metric. This is why the Tiger 5 are so focused on short game. As long as you aren’t driving the ball into trouble, you can still score if you have a rock solid short game.

Strokes gained is why you want to go study. I don’t think they consider the difference between first cut of rough vs deeper rough but closer to the hole in the rough is better than further away in the fairway. 7 hours ago, Donn lost in San Diego said: Driving accuracy is underrated? Or, am I just causing trouble for the hell of it? Driving accuracy isn’t underrated and to an extent maybe overrated when it comes to hitting more fairways and be shorter for the purpose of just finding the fairway. The accuracy aspect goes into the strokes gained off the tee but that strokes gained stat isn’t as good as strokes gained approach which iirc is the more important strokes gained stat. 7 hours ago, Donn lost in San Diego said: Anddddddd,, I don't know that good fitting, using club makers and technology, has to do with improving one aspect of the game more than another aspect, Dough or Show. Or has it? Is putting the one part of scoring stats that has not benefitted from the last 20 , 30, yrs of tech & fitting? Fittings in of themselves don’t improve one’s game, they give the golfer the equipment that makes it easier for them to execute the shot they are attempting but the golfer still has to actually execute the shot and to do so on each shot. Launch monitors have allowed for golfers to better optimize their clubs and bag rather than the old eye test and a guess about spin, etc. they have also helped create the new ball flight laws. With strokes gained we have learns that ball striking and short game are far mor important than the drive for show putt for dough stuff. Putting is influenced by other things, proximity to the hole, one’s ability to control speed and read greens. cksurfdude 1 Quote Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting has, but measurements take longer to assess. People want benefits to show up in one round, but with putting the measurement needs to occur over a season. If you read the book Lowest Score Wins, they categorize areas of the game that help separate players (https://lowestscorewins.com/separation-value) and putting falls near the bottom. Think about a 3 foot putt; you can practice them all day every day but you probably won't make significantly more than someone that never practices them. As for tech and fitting, they have shown improvement in putting. There is better understanding of launch angle, that the face is the influence for ball direction and path has minimal influence, that there are stroke categorizations and they have specific putter configurations that benefit the player, you can measure how different putter configurations influence ball direction.

Slow reps are how golfers learn a movement pattern. It’s something that’s used in corrective exercise as well for clients trying to overcome an injury or bad movement pattern in a lift. Same with some like Monte who has to learn to walk again after surgery. This is very much different than the slow backswing or slow tempo that is bad for the swing cksurfdude 1 Quote Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or have you altered it to help yourself make steps to improving? If you did alter it what did you change? Never heard of the Tiger scorecard @Samuel09152. Back when I was a 12-18 handicap, I'd practice a method from a golf school instructor based in Longmeadow, MA. (Cannot remember his name) You'd hit 1, 2, 3 or 4 balls, Based on your handicap range, take the best shot of the shots & do the same for the second shot. Do this for the 18 holes. It was to train your mind you could hit good shots and play good shots. As a 12-18 handicap I'd hit 3 shots The Tiger Scorecard is a new one for me.

So basically you are hitting two of your “best” shots in a row? cksurfdude 1 Quote Samuel Hanvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea, if I remember correctly, you train your mind hitting good shots, plus it suddenly caused me to relax knowing you can hit "a" good shot. Sometimes, iI'd take the 1st or 2nd shot, I wouldn't hit another and just play off the good drive. cksurfdude 1 Quote Titleist T200 Irons - 5i thru Gap Wedge - Stiff AMT Black Callaway PARADYM X 9.0 with Hazrdous X Black 6.0 Stiff Shaft Fairway Woods: Callaway Maverick 3W & RazrX Black 5W - Stiff Flex Rescue: Apex 4 (22 degree )- Recoil 75H stiff flex Wedges: Titleist SM8 - 54 (D Grind) wedge flex; SM8 58(M grind) wedge flex Putter: Scotty Cameron Phantom X5.5 Ball: Titleist ProV1 Handicap: 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
