About
Golf advice you can't verify isn't advice. So I measure it.
Who writes this
I'm an amateur golfer in South Korea. I started in 2024 at the range near my apartment. I'm not a pro and I don't play to scratch. I'm still learning.
So this isn't a site that teaches golf. It's a record of what I checked and what I found. I won't promise to take strokes off your game. What I will do is keep my own experience separate from what I read somewhere.
Why "second opinion"
You get a second opinion when you don't want to take the first answer on faith.
It doesn't mean I'm the second expert in the room. I'm not an expert at all. But manufacturers, review sites, and the guy in your foursome all say different things, and somebody has to go check. Usually nobody does. So I check, and I show the work.
How I write
- Experience and research stay separate. If it happened in my round, I say so. If it's a number, it gets a source.
- Measurements come with their conditions. Device, date, ball, club, how many swings. A number without its conditions isn't evidence. It's a claim.
- Sources are linked in the text. Manufacturer specs, published research, and institutional data come first. Links get checked before a post goes up.
- If I couldn't verify something, I say so. Plenty of golf lore is repeated everywhere and sourced nowhere.
- I only write about gear I've actually hit. I won't review a club I've never held.
A note on units
Distances are in yards and speeds in mph, because that's what most readers here use. I play in meters, so when a figure came out of a metric source I'll say which it was.
Found a mistake?
Tell me and I'll check it. Anything I correct gets a visible update date. The contact page has my email.
Other channels
I write about the same research in Korean on my Naver blog. Those posts aren't translations. Different readers, different units, different questions, so I write them separately.
