@practicalgolf @Mike_kim714 What are his thoughts on “slow play” on tour? Is it really an issue for him? And what if anything would he suggest to improve it?

[Ian McDonald @usirel]

@Fit_For_Golf I struggle to be able to do 10 @ 135!
10 @ 225 is light years away from me!

Goal by then end of the year is 5 @ 180 (roughly my body weight). The fit for golf app has definitely helped.

@swifteves I think it probably depends more on the area your in.

Like in general things are quite similar but if you’re dealing with food you have lots of differences (eggplant vs aubergine, cilantro vs coriander etc).

So I’d say it’s more relevant in certain areas than others.

@Fit_For_Golf Mike, is there some sort of ratio you should be looking for between lower and upper body strength?

Like if you bench 100 you should squat 200 or something like that?

Just wondering because I feel like I can squat the world but I can’t move anything on bench press!

@theedgar501 Do you think a “decaying” system would be fairer?

Something like for the first 4months the money is worth 100% and then for the next 20months it reduces by 5% each month. That way more recent results are more important, but older results are still valuable.

If he’s a good player or not that’s for you to decide. But there’s an example of 500shots. You get a feel, but your body is also “breaking down”, as it goes along.

If it was you can’t play golf for 1year maybe, but never again, that’s a lot to lose! 🤣

@ryanmouquegolf Tips to transfer swing thoughts from range to course, can reproduce my “Hideki pause” at the top of the backswing on the range but it sometimes vanishes on course. (I don’t actually stop but to me it feels like I do).

[Ian McDonald @usirel]

@patmccarry @thepaulwilliams @Rugbyworldmag VanDerFlier no having been on a lions tour makes me think there’s an article in there. The best Lions 15 that never was. The best 15 from Ireland/England/Scotland/Wales that never played for a lions test team (tour games don’t count).

[Ian McDonald @usirel]

@rossmacleodputt I’ll have to try 🤣🤣, finding these kinds of things in Brazil is quite hard! I think using cardboard/paper for “hole locations” would be ok, maybe not so much for “showing the line” on breaking putts

[Ian McDonald @usirel]

@ryanmouquegolf Ok to use an alignment stick? Umbrellas are expensive if your not sponsored 🤣

[Ian McDonald @usirel]

@JGGolfFitness @BJGT 👏👏👏
How many guys who play from the tips because “that’s where golf is supposed to be played from” would be able to shoot better than that from 5600yds!

Very impressive feat for a 10year old!

@kenworthygolf 30 balls in a 60minute session today coach. Full routine on 25 of them! (5 warm ups 50/50/75/75/100%). Tough to go through the full routine every time but it’s starting to become more normal!
