Have Fun!

Set out a preshot routine you want to focus on and execute that everyshot.

Sticking to a preshot routine is one of the few things you have control over in the game so make the best of it!

I always expect the worst, that way I'm usually always positively surprised.

Just do what you have always done, it's the same game. Though I would advise taking some time on the range and practice green. If I don't play for a couple of weeks my timing is a bit rusty for the first 10-40 shots. If I can get those out of the system by the time I tee up the first ball I'm much better off.

Also, don't try to be a hero. You've got a hcp of 30, play like you try to use 2 shots extra on every hole, maybe except the par 3's, you can't afford a double on all 18. On a par 5, go for the green in 4-5. A long par 3? Definately go for the green in 2. Don't use the clubs you have problems hitting, play it safe.

I wouldn't expect anything. I'd go out there and play golf for what it is. A game.

I couldnt imagine going a few months without playing - I go play friday afternoons to make sure I am warmed up for the whole weekend. If I go 6 days without playing I am seriously struggling on the 1st 3 holes.

Meenman... Funny coincedence, This past Wenesday after walking off the fourth green and finally marking a good score I turned to my partner and said: "that's it... from now on before I play a real course again, I'm going to play the first three holes at my exec course..."

I ordered a Chicken and an Egg on the Internet, to find out which came first... I'll keep you posted!

    • Oh I'm dumb, I just noticed I did the MyStrategy from the wrong tee box. I don't think it changes anything, though. I'll play it as a three shot hole and I still don't really want to miss right (guy I played with on Sunday never found his ball he hit just over the trees right). I think the trees left are considered part of the environmentally sensitive area because it's part of the drainage area for the course. I actually like this hole a lot. I'll try to remember to take a picture next time. I probably overestimated the wind speed. We had sustained winds of like 12-15mph with gusts up to 25mph. The wind is actually forecast to be WNW on Saturday instead of WSW like was when I played on Sunday so if I play this hole again the wind will be pushing towards that bunker. Similar speeds, though. Wind is always a factor at this course because there's really nothing blocking it. I'm definitely going to have to pay attention to it, especially with the wind. I hit a handful of short iron approaches a lot farther than I thought I would on Sunday. As of right now the only thing I know for sure is I'm starting on Ridge. I don't know if the back 9 will be played on Meadow or Lake.
    • Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…
    • Please forgive the sweaty shirt.  Just got off the treadmill and decided to do my Evolvr drill.  
    • I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play. 
    • Day 1: worked on my drill for my arms.
