For your own game, find what the priority piece is and focus on that.  There is a good chance you're not lifting your head to watch the ball, it's a reaction to something else going on in your swing.

mvmac, I actually think I may be over practicing. I am aware of what I do wrong when I do it but I've ingrained the flaws into my head so hard it's a tough mental block to break.

On my 14 off each month, I probably spend 20 hours on the range and play 10 rounds. Now it's improved my chipping and putting tremendously even though it's very mundane work but hopefully I'll be able to drop some strokes with some consistency by improving those two portions. What gets me is my iron inconsistency so I work and work and work on it day in and day out and on certain days it's so great I feel like I'm swinging on the PGA and then I let my brain go on autopilot and revert back to my bad habits and there it goes again.

    • Day 533, April 17, 2024 Had a little time prior to lessons. Hit a few shots to 16 at a little par three in Georgia somewhere.
    • Watched the whole season of Fallout. Loved it. It's got some warts but they absolutely nailed the feel of the universe. The best series I've watched since The Last of Us. 
    • This topic can be whatever you'd like it to be. If you're working with an instructor, you may have to mention it occasionally, but people will respect that and you can use this as a diary of sorts.
    • Look at Kevin trying to rationalize his small minority vote. 😄 
    • It's all good, man. I appreciate the discussion.   The hole slopes right, towards the penalty area. That's the part just past the cart path that isn't mowed. You can land a ball on the fairway that ends up in it if the ground is firm enough.  Everything that's brown in the satellite image isn't rough. It's fescue, which even during this time of year is tall enough that just finding a ball in it can be hard. Bunkers might as have red stakes around them - I read that in a book, once. So having set that table, here's what the shot cone looks like if I try to play for what you're suggesting: I just don't see that as the optimal play. I need to get out of there with no worse than 5, not try to make 3 and end up with 6 or more. It's a short hole and my strength is in my iron play. I'm actually oddly not much better from 50-100 yards than I am from 100-150 yards. It's like a 4% difference in green success rate and 8' closer in proximity. I don't see that as worth putting trouble into play off the tee for.
