Don't get me wrong, I love playing my approach shots deep and really having a high, downward swing on the ball and getting some spin, but that's not something I'd recommend to a starter golfer.

Re: The OS Golfer's Thread!

authentic, you mind posting your swing? Those distances are outstanding - you hit farther than half of the PGA tour...which includes Tiger Woods. I think you hit farther than Bubba Watson compared to his irons.

Anyway - let's see this swing, man. Sorry I'm skeptical, but let's see some data on you, my friend - after all I kind of believe you, but it'd be nice to see some proof HOpe you don't mind.

I will try man. It's been a while since I had to record my swing lol keep in mind, my swing speed got as high as 138 mph.

I'd love to see this as well, considering tiger woods and Dustin Johnson can't hit a 7 iron 230 (and not even close to be honest), so I'd love to see the swing that can.

Like I said, that was off the tee at the driving range. I Guarantee they could hit it that far if not farther. When I hit the range I'm focusing on speeding up my swing and really driving the ball. On the course, my 7 iron is ( checking my gps for average distance this whole year) at 221.6.

Re: The OS Golfer's Thread!

Alright guys, I'm home from work and about to go get on the course. I'll try capture a swing or two from my iPhone and see if it's even worth posting. I'll be by myself so we'll see. Also, I've watched enough videos and taking enough lessons over the years to possibly help people out. I'll start checking this thread often so you can ask questions and hopefully I'll be able to answer them and better your game.

Re: The OS Golfer's Thread!

Guys, and just to clarify, those distances are total distances, not carry. I can't really calculate carry. My driver probably carries around 270-280 usually I'd guess.

Re: The OS Golfer's Thread!

Authentic - I'm excited to see, man. That's all. Sorry if my last post came off as accusatory - it's just a bit cliche to hear of big distances that don't make sense in comparison to PGA players - you know? Usually those conversations fall flat and the OP goes and runs away. So thanks for being completely non-defensive if that's how I came off.

Back to business though - looking forward to seeing your swing. You will need to take a trip down here to KS and teach me a thing or two because my game needs it.
