I don't think you were complaining , and , if people say that they are seeing inconsistencies with things I believe them , I'm not there and can't , nor do I wish to disagree with what they say. All i'm saying is , giving all the variables involved from "tee-box" to "bottom of cup" , mathematics can get you in the ballpark , yes , and I'm obviously referring to guides and %'s. Things that make people say , "well this is this , so according to the guide , I need to do this." I'm simply saying to put the book down. Take a second. Look at what you've got in front of you. "Think" for a sec. about how you want to approach this pin. Run a quick visualization through your head and bring some feel and creativity into your shot making and I don't think things will be quite as inconsistent for you . GL in how ever you choose to approach this wonderful game we call golf. However , in my opinion , mathematics will never truly unlock all it's secrets. Too many things going on in between tee-box and bottom of the cup for an "equation" to ever remain consistent.
