Struggles Continue for Jordan Spieth What’S in the Bag: (71) at Wyndham: ‘I’M a Little Uncertain’ by WILL GRAY Wyndham Championship GREENSBORO, N.C OUR 1640 TH ISSUE Vol. 32, No. 28 R O C H E S T E R Monday, August 17, 2020 Thomas Assured $2 ‘Out of the Blue’: Jim Herman Shocks Million Bonus as Tour Field (and Himself) With Wyndham Win Heads to Postseason BY WILL GRAY GREENSBORO, N.C. — While everyone was busy burying Brooks Koepka a week ago at the PGA Championship, Jim Herman became a footnote. Koepka’s disastrous 74 at TPC Harding Park not only cost him a shot at a three-peat, but it beat only one person during the final round. That lone individual, the guy at the very bottom of the totem pole at the first major of the year, was Herman, who shot a 75. (Getty Images) It was indicative of what’s amounted to a disastrous season Tournament of Champions — tumbling to the bottom of the Justin Thomas hits from the bunker on the 16th hole during the third for a veteran who is used to lean and that came against a 34-man standings at Harding Park.

  • Measure Your Wedges for More Consistency
    Measure your wedges for more consistency In all my years teaching I have seen many golfers improve their ball striking and consistency off the tee and in the fairway. In most cases however, they haven’t been able to substantially decrease their handicap due to inconsistency from within 100 yards. Since we are only required to hit 36 shots in one round of golf, over 90% of the shots taken over 36 occur within 100 yards of the green. Here are some techniques that have helped many of my students in the past few years become better and more consistent around the green. First we have to learn how to make three different length golf swings with each wedge. These swings are simply described as the ½, ¾, and full swing. Naturally the ½ half swing should feel as if you have only rotated half way back and through the ball. To check your positions, ensure that the left arm stops when it reaches a position parallel to the ground in the back swing and the right arm parallel to the ground at the end of your follow through. The three quarter swing should feel about 75 percent of the length of your full swing. Picturing a clock, your left arm would rotate back to point at 10 o’clock to complete your back swing. The follow through for this swing stops when your right arm would point to 2 o’clock. Naturally your full swing feels as if you complete the rotation back and through as if you were hitting a mid iron.

  • Golf Club Prototyping and Design for Spin Rate Tuning
    GOLF CLUB PROTOTYPING AND DESIGN FOR SPIN RATE TUNING A Senior Project submitted to the Faculty of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Industrial and Mechanical Engineering by Cole Nygren, Jordan Wright, Jesse Yap June 2017 ABSTRACT Golf Club Prototyping and Design for Spin Rate Tuning Cole Nygren, Jordan Wright, Jesse Yap The aim of this project was to design a golf wedge capable of increasing backspin for the amateur golfer. This was accomplished by embedding a metal lattice structure behind the clubface to allow the face to elastically deform slightly upon impact. This would increase contact time between the club and ball. The mechanism of spin generation was discussed and the relationship between contact time and spin rate was established. The design was enabled by using additive manufacturing, which allowed for the generation of a metal lattice structure. An appropriate control and prototype were designed to minimize run time and material usage due to limited machine capacity. Various lattice topologies were generated and analyzed with finite element analysis. Design validation build in plastic revealed that these were not feasible due to support material generation, so X topology was used instead. After printing, player testing was conducted. The prototype design underwent plastic deformation during testing, and resulted in a significantly lower spin rate than the control. The design outlined in the report is not recommended unless changes to prevent plastic deformation are made and more testing is performed. Economic justification for the production of additive manufacturing golf club designs is made in case future designs prove viable.
