Dad What Golfs

I'm a terrible tinkerer when it comes to golf clubs. I'm always looking for the next thing that will help me improve my game.

Here are some of my current stats: * Handicap: 15.7 * Best ever handicap: 12ish * Best round: 78 As you can see, I'm still a long way from a single digit golfer which is where I want to be. But I'm confident that I can improve with hard work and dedication. I'm a huge fan of stats and I use Arccos in all my clubs (except putter). Here are some of the areas that I'm focusing on improving and the Arccos stats. As you can see I'm losing ground vs a single digit handicap in all areas at...
