What are the best and worst parts of your game? How do you cope or deal with them? How do you plan on improving this year?

Best: Chipping/pitching. I just get the ball near the hole...enough said.

Worst: Putting. I can't hit a putt. I'm fine with shorter putts (4 feet and in). I just don't have any confidence with longer putts (20+ feet). I also have been having trouble making shorter birdie putts (inside 10 ft). Whenever I hit a GIR, I'm usually outside of 20 ft. I either blow the putt by the hole 6 feet or baby it to the hole 6 feet short. 3 putts galore. Recently, I have been working on my stroke and my confidence with it. I usually have the right line, but my speed is terrible. Chipping the ball to 3 feet is really nice...GIRs kill me!

I hate this game sometimes.

The best part of my game is probably driving. I drive it long enough and almost always in fairway. Bad drives are usually just off fairway.

Worst - if this had been a question 2 months ago I would have said approach shots, but I've recently found a swing that really works. Now I have to say probably putting. I have always been a really good putter, but the last few months I can't make anything and I'm leaving myself 2nd putts that are way too long. I went from one 3 putt maybe every 3-4 rounds to 3-4 3 putts per round now. I'm almost always on line, just with really really bad speed.

For me, it depends on the season... For instance, when it is winter, I struggle with my putting, because I get too tense due to the cold in my hands. When it is too warm, I get all sticky, because I sweat a lot, and I start reverse pivoting, so I struggle with every long shot. I usualy have bad chippind/ pitching days/ weeks during fall or spring.

On the other hand, during winter I'm hitting the ball the best of the year, during spring/ auttum, my putting starts to come around, and at the summer, I really practice a lot of chipping and the rest of the short game so that is what saves me...

Mainly, my biggest problem is probably chipping from anywhere between 30 feet and 50 feet from the hole. I just can ssem to get the ball roling where I want it to be... My best point is however, putting. Even though I tend to strugle a lot with it, it saves me very often...

Best for me would be driving and putting. I'm not super long but I'm usually in the fairway. As for putting, I feel I'm very good at lagging long puts and make most inside 5-6 feet.

Worst for me would be mid-irons and chipping. Unfortunately, I go though bouts of the chipping yips and it drives me nuts.

Well last week it was my iron approach shots and the week before it was putting and the week before that it was pitching and I think I was spraying it all over the place off the tee not long before that... So pretty much everything in a ever changing cycle

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Big C ·

      A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?

      Interesting that Scottie is #10 on the all time money list and he's been on the PGAT for 4 years. Of course, purses are bigger now, but  neat to look at non-the-less.  The list of top 18 money winners in PGA Tour history has plenty of surprises This list is updated through the 2024 RBC Heritage. To add, Scottie won 4.5 million at the Players, Jack played 44 seasons and won a little of 5 million on course.
