My last three "nine hole tracts" have been 40, 39, and 38. The previous nine was a 48 due to a monster Ryobi 2-stroke weed whacker that really fatigued my hands. I could not lock my wedges back though I knew how.
The feeling finally came back on the back 9! The technique of Hitting is sound and I understand it basically.
Now, I need to "take up the slack" and become a 4 Barrel Beast! !
Looking for Mr. Goodbar CE#25

This is a great question and a great post.
The answer is that the Three-Barrel guy would find his ball 290 on the sprinkler heads. The 300-yard Four Barreler likely would be four yards ahead and surrounded by a group of his closest friends...all in the rough..and all still looking...
P.S. Attention All Four-Barrellers: Do not forget that a lot of what you think you are feeling as Right Arm Thrust...or Drive...or Right Hand through the Ball...or WHATEVER...is nothing more than your very powerful Right Shoulder driving the #4 Accumulator through the Right Forearm Flying Wedge through the Ball.
You may feel the 'Power' in your Right Arm or Hand...but the Source is your Right Shoulder. Larry Nelson told me this personally fifteen years ago, and he knows zilch about The Golfing Machine. He IS a Golfing Machine. Think about it.

I'll start out tomorrow with a gentle hip slide to engage the #4 Accumulator and see if my right shoulder can catch -up!
BTW my GAP HCP went from 15.3 to 14.3 in the latest revision! The goal is a "5" by the end of the summer with "10" being my previous low.

More "wow's" about Runyon putting and chip-putting...
The feeling of knowing where your putt/chip is going to go is amazing. Two weeks ago I started feeling the palm of my right hand as my technique. On Saturday, it was PP # 3! It was so awesome! I hit every spot I aimed at, though sometimes with too much power going through breaks and lipping out. That Bulls-eye putter with the sweet-spot at the shaft is powerful! I was worried about fading or hooking the putts but they run straight as long as the green allows. I actually sit back on my heels to putt looking for stability and aim the # 3 PP down the throat of the hole.

Congratulations Pat. I love seeing your achievements here.
It defies my intuition to see how slowly I swing and how efortlessly the ball sails exactly where I aim it!

Quote:
That was not Homer Kelley's conclusion. Enjoy the exact words of The Master:
"I think Hitting is going to become far, far more popular than Swinging
with the real blood-thirsty golfers, the money-hungry golfers. They're going
to go to Hitting because it is...they have total control; much better finesse;
more positive control of Power; and less total body involvement."
"It is far more difficult to learn, but far easier to execute
when you get it. Oh, it's so simple! Nothing ever happens! Nothing ever gets
out of line! You just take it up and come down! And you can slam it as hard
as you want to if you stayed with this Right Forearm alignment."
"And you'll find all of a sudden you don't have to Throw the
Club. Just come down any speed you want and it just comes right through. And
not having to 'Rotate the Plane Lines' [Ed: to curve the Ball.] -- gee,
that's a tremendous advantage. But, it is harder to learn, but lots
easier to execute once you've learned it. Much more individual. You feel like
you're controlling every little ingredient."
Last Friday, I got out to Cobbs Creek, a very old public track poorly maintained. The holes dodge and dive down and up hills like at an amusement park. We played 15 holes before it was dark and I hit 12 of them in regulation or so close to the sandy greens that I could putt!
Did I mention the sand traps on the green via the aeration holes? I could not hit the putts hard enough on 8 holes through the sand. But the thrill of being able to call almost every shot... I MEAN BELOW THE HOLE, PIN HIGH, OVER THE BRANCH... PRICELESS!

for hitting, Tommy is also starting back with his right forearm and folding (cocking) his right elbow but he is resisting the turning action of the left wrist per 7-19-1 which reads..."by resisting the Backstroke motion for Drive Loading"....that action is created with a punch basic right arm motion and the realization that the left wrist must not turn in this case. So, for swinging it's a natural move…for hitting is a manipulative move.
That's why a golfer stops at "TOP" for Hitting, so that the Flat Left Wrist stays Flat!
