Maybe a name change to donkeypusherben would be more fitting... Pay the man Shirley! Damn funny... I can't take credit. Got it from "a friend"

Banning this shot would also outlaw valid course management strategy of taking away a miss to a certain side to avoid trouble.
Silliest statement in this thread bar none
Course management is "oh look, a big pond, i'll aim a bit further right to try and make sure i don't go in there"
It is not, "oh look, a big pond, i'll pull my magic club out of the bag, that most people do not have, that makes it literally impossible for me to go in the pond"
Can you genuinely not see the difference, or are you just trolling?

At least it makes more sense to me as to why I’ve dropped 65 places in WGR! That’s something to ease my pain. Probably cause other people have put more time into the game and just are more skilled

I'm not sure why, but this one just has me so annoyed with HB and miffed with this game at the moment. I may be in the minority here, but I actually think using this method and fully lofting is worse for the game than flicking as there is no API flag for it. I am fairly certain that my 2 year old could pump a dart with a fully lofted 2W by aiming 13 yards left and slashing it from 8 to 2. She might struggle with the aiming 12 yards left, but I am pretty sure I could get her up to speed pretty quickly. Such a shame that it has come to this.
By all means, continue to play how you have always played as it is all any of us have. I won't call anyone out for cheating or exploiting but my opinion is that the game is BROKEN, and scores IMHO are now more laced with skepticism than ever. Have fun, enjoy and hope that HB takes notice!
As for the golf, cut made (-21) and now choosing some rivals to shoot for Top 25 with while also trying to get within 20 shots of the leaders.

I shot a bogey free -5 in rd 1, not competitive at all. Enjoyed the course.

Probably cause other people have put more time into the game and just are more skilled Came back around to make possibly your worst comment yet? More skilled? You realize the entire point of this is that the push swing takes incredibly less skill, right? It’s been proven already that the deviations in the swing hardly matter when you use this swing method. You can pull or push it quite a bit and will be penalized much less than someone who is swinging 12-6. I use the loft box a lot for my shots. If I make the slightest deviation either way, I’m penalized quite a bit. Someone swinging 12-6 on this game and using the swing mechanic the way it’s supposed to and competing at the top of the PGA Tour is much more skilled and there’s really no way to deny that.

Feel free to throw me on your rivals list lol. Have seen you around me a few times recently on both PGA and TST. 👍

So I finished at -52.
R1 I couldn't make any putts but had an ace on 7 and a hole out on 13 to yield -12. R2 I made a bogey on the third hole (easiest hole)... still salvaged -13. R3 I started par/par/eagle/par and managed another -13. R4 I was going well then missed an easy breaker on 9 inside 6 feet. The par3s played tough on the back but made eagle on 18 for -14?
Proud of my scoring given I'm playing up in the clouds with the pushers and flickers this week!

Thought it might be tough for you to limbo under that bar. Started great but a quad at #5 did me in almost immediately. I play better with 4 strikes anyway 😁

Well since apparently no PGA Tour players have ever streamed their rounds (not true, some of us have occasionally streamed tournaments or posted full round videos for five years now) I'm going to start streaming my rounds at twitch slash the_duke21 on turn-based with a friend of mine on Saturday nights and Sunday nights probably. Funny enough, my friend was a natural short-swinger but worked on getting to a full swing and is still on the PGA Tour.
This will also give me a great platform to talk sh%$ about people and spew misinformation relentlessly without most people having to see it since that seems to be the popular thing to do. 👍👍

I watched Tyler's video. I must say that it is interesting. When y'all talk push/pull, I read it as a "/" or "\".
What about a sh%$ swing like mine that is always left from the very beginning?
I'm talking LEFT left. Usually. I have an odd swing or two where me thumb slips off the stick and they go more or less straight instead of right like they should.
I'm not really interested in defending myself and have no reason to. Internet opinions are quite volatile. It's 2020.
I'll make a video and post it to show you all what I mean.
I'm literally nowhere NEAR the cone most of the time.
Most is probably 95% or more.
My backswing starts left as the black line shows and my downswing is left as the white line shows.
Some shots are worse than others.
Sometimes the line looks like an inverted "C"? Maybe?
I'll get it up and let y'all scrutinise and tinfoil and use the "C" word or whatever ye fancy.
😊😊

I was just messing around on the driving range seeing how absurd the swing mechanics in this game are since I had never really looked into it. lol

Posted this in the other thread, but it’s so silly I might as well throw it here too.
First full round messing with this “technique,” took an entire 9 holes to produce this beaut...

So far a disappointing 2 people have posted on HB complaining. Here is the thread started back in December. Fadge post a link to our clubhouse there but no proof of acknowledgement from HB yet. We need numbers on this one. www.hb-studios.com/forum/index.php/topic,29621.0.html General-Dispersion Linear? Sorry, copy and paste link or for some reason won’t take you directly there.
