Jason: Man, it's like they want this game to be one big headache. Roger: You've noticed. That's the whole point behind sand traps and water hazards and undulating greens- golf is meant to be a thinking man's sport. Jason: I'm talking about their use of yardage and degrees of loft. I could compute all my shots in my head had they instead used meters and radians. Fortunately, I memorized the conversion formulae. Roger: You know, it is possible to be thinking a tad too much.

With a BS & MS in physics and a career in physics, I not only learned to think in radians and the metric system, once I started programming in machine language using an Assembler, I learned to think and do arithmetic in hexadecimal — base 16. I can do calculations in base 2 (1’ & 0’s) or any base if I take my time. FULL DISCLOSURE: Now that I’ve been retired for 14 yrs and do a lot of sailing with a magnetic compass and a GPS, I’ve reverted to thinking in English units, degrees, knots, and nautical miles. If you don’t use it, you lose it. That’s what my wife keeps telling me.

Use mills – 1 yard at 1000 yards – works if you are shooting artillery.
Computing loft and imparting loft are two different things. That’s the difference between planning and execution.

Neither is golf. The most boring “game” in the world.
