So to celebrate the fact that I only have to spend 1 and half hours on a Pre-Cal test on Wednesday and then I am off for summer why not an entire thread about summer. Just put your golf plans/goals/trips you plan on doing this summer.

I plan to really improve my game this summer and shoot under 85 on a regular basis and possibly drop down to a single digit handicap and shoot under 80 for the first time. I also plan on playing several tournaments and a friend and I have a goal to play 10 new courses in the Houston area considering how many there are.

I might also go on a little trip to South Carolina to play a few courses or might play some courses in Cali when I go to visit my sister so big plans for the summer.

Also I plan to drop down from 175 pounds to about 165 and add some more muscle on by working out 3 days a week as well as practicing 6-7 days a week and getting at least 5 full rounds of golf in a week if the weather permits.

I hate to be that guy, but you're not going to get to a single digit hcp just over the summer. I condone your summer of golf improvement though. I'm hoping to do some game improvement myself.

With dedication, you may achieve your goal. However, that also depends on your natural talent. There are some, albeit very few and far in between, that can achieve that goal. Good luck.

You might consider posting a swing thread.  With the eyes of the experts here (not me) on your swing, and their sharing of their knowledge with you, you will be more likely to use your effort and energy in a more efficient way to get the result you are looking for.

Getting a copy of LSW would also be a good way to work on improving the strategic and mental side of your game.

Good luck! and keep us up on how you're doing.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).  
    • Wordle 1,003 3/6 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩   felt a little like Wyndham when the first three green and I began the fist pump…
    • I'm relieved someone finally defined hiking. I was giddy when I saw these new TPI videos a day or so after they dropped. Very easy to understand the problem and solution the way they have presented it. Been working on fixing this for about a year and a half now. It's nice to be able to call it something so communication becomes easy.  I was working on more lateral and up too, but just having someone define it clearly in video form was so helpful for me to continue confidently with what I thought was wrong and how I had to fix it.  My conceptual error here was just trying to rotate like a tour pro but without including the necessary forward pressure/weight shift associated with enough lateral and upward motion of the pelvis.  This video is great too, as is Greg Rose.
    • Day 2.    couple mins of rolling putts end over end.    10 mins of Slow, mirror work, working on starting the downswing and impact wrist positions. Hit a couple balls into the net after.    Then finished with a couple chips to see if I could repeat what I worked on yesterday.
