Since I do both frequently, it's interesting how many similarities there are. Trajectory, spin rate, spin direction, shot shape, gravity, windage, elevation...
Shooting a scoped rifle 200 yards at a 4.25 inch target is infinitely easier than shooting a 5 iron 200 yards at a 4.25 inch target.
Much is left to the Indian, less to the arrow. I can hand a non-shooter a rifle dialed in and they can usually put a round on paper 9/10. I can hand a 5-iron to a non-golfer and they will shank it 7/10 and the other 3 times they top it.
Also, the guy on the right with the muzzle brake is a dick. :biggrinjester:
Speaking of golf, 25 rounds played in 25 weeks. Breaking 100 every time now. Woke up to a 24.6 HC index. Started with 30.
Here is what I learned:
-You either need to get it on the green every time from 150-200 out, or you need a short flop shot. Pick one. Otherwise you will hop back and forth over the green with that low "chip" you can't stop.
-The game is played with loft. Loft is your stopping power. That's what the trees are about. Keeping you on the ground where you have no brakes.
-You do not have to use your driver because it's a tee box. Only use your driver if it will reduce a stroke on a par 4/5. Use course management. (330 yards equals 5 iron 185, 7 iron 145, putter. Not driver 260, gap wedge 70, putter.) If you can drive the green on a par 4 and eagle, this advice is not for you.
-Always punch low out of trees and take the stroke unless you can 9 iron over cleanly. You will burn three strokes playing the jail side of the fairway.
-The difference between breaking 90 and breaking 100 is penalty strokes. Playing the fairway shorter beats playing a long slice or hook OB.
-If you are missing putts on the low side of the hole on a sloping green you never had a chance. Miss high.
