Portugal is one of Europe's popular golfing destinations. Which has 70 or so golf courses.
In the 1967 Tony Jacklin had a hole in one, live on BBC's Grandstand. The first hole in one on live british television.
it could be as simple of a thing as loft or tee height, but is more likely improper flex. Many of us ,myself included, think we are stronger and younger than we are and play improper flexes. I changed my Driver and 3 wood flexes just yesterday from stiff to regular and gained 30 -40 yds off the tee gained height and carry. At 51 y/o I drove a 265 yard hole ,never came close with the wrong flex.. If your lagging squaring the head because of to stiff a flex you will drive low. If you cant get a swing analylized by a pro heres a rule of thumb...from 150 yds you use a 4 iron or 4 hy you are a senior flex. from 150 you use 5 or 6 iron you are regular and from 150 you are a 6 or 7 (more a 7 iron) you are a stiff flex. I learned the hard way being frustrated,,,it definitly means alot with the woods.....Irons i still like stiff because i would rather hit straight and club up one if I have to, Irons are all feel. But with Woods you better use the right flex...Hope that helps.
Guidelines on Handicap Calculation
Competition Format: The famous Japanese "Double Perrier" system to determine the winner.
1. Select 12 holes for calculation of handicap. This may be done by a lottery after the play.
2. Handicap (HD) is 36 or less and determined by the following equations:
HD is the summation of the each selected 12 hole's handicap (HDeach) multiplied by the ratio of total sum of par of the course against the total par of the selected 12 holes and further multiplied by 0.9 (handicap ratio) or 36 whichever the small.
i.e.,
HD=MIN(0.9*(sum of HDeach *(sum of par of the course/sum of par of the selected 12 holes), 36)
2.1 HDeach
handicap of each selected hole (HDeach) is Zero or (HDeach-calc) whichever the larger.
i.e., HDeach=MAX ( HDeach-calc, 0 )
This means HDeach is always 0 or more. If you hit eagle or birdie at the hole, you will get a advantage (never make handicap minus)
2.2 HDeach-calc
HDeach-calc is the par number of the hole or (the score of the hole minus the par number of the hole) whichever the smaller.
HDeach-calc=MIN( par of the hole, (score -par of the hole) )
This means HDeach-calc is always equal to or less than the par number of the hole. If you hit more than double of the par number at a hole, the part of your score more than double of the par number of the hole is not taken into account the handicap and disadvantage of you. Do not hit too much.
3. Advantages of winners
For honor of the winners, in addition to the calculation as described in paragraph 2 above;
The handicap of the winner of the last session is HD-3, and
The handicap of the winners of the past sessions is HD-2.
No there is not. There is no list as such compiled. There are hundreds and hundreds of golfers who have had two hole in ones.
Yes, this was added to the exemptions gained with a PGA Tour win, they do get a Masters invite.
Closest to what, or where? Closest to Perth, Australia? Closest to Vatican City? Closest to Farmer Brown's south forty? Please rethink and ask again.... ;-)
To be honest, it wouldn't be much different from the PGA Tour, mainly X stiff and stiff.
You may hit the ball fat if you have gained a bit of weight as the shaft might get caught by your body when swinging
