After a few years of not playing golf seriously (i.e. practicing regularly, focusing on improving, etc.) I can’t believe how far my game has gone into the dumpster.  Even more horrifying is how difficult it is to put the pieces back together now that I am trying to recover my old game.  And my old game was just to shoot mid 80s regularly. Add a few years of age, and well, it’s a huge mental and physical challenge.  But a bigger challenge is a greater opportunity for a miraculous achievement, right?  That’s what I keep telling myself anyway.

I can relate, but like yourself, I like the challenge of achievement.   I have a great opportunity for a miracle!  wait... I need a miracle or something like that!

      Quickie Pitching Video - Golf Pitch Shot Technique

      By mdl ·

      Love resurrecting this thread! The float-load feel bit and then the old video I think from Mike on how to hit low and high chips were the kickstart to my short game journey, where I play well below my handicap (officially 9.x right now, via arccos I only lose 1 stroke per round to a scratch golfer in my short game). I've spent lots of time with float-load and I can be a sniper inside ~40 yards with my GW and 60*. But I actually just started trying a version of this for like ~40-70 yard shots! 70-115 I have a like hands to belly button height stock partial swing shot that I hit with SW-9i dialed.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Played 9 today. Good and bad. Full Swing - Right arm straighter feel needs to be there 100%.  Short Game - Just needs a good couple of practice sessions to polish. Too long of backswing most of the time.  Putting - more straight back and straight through “feel” works well. Hitting center of putting face more.

      One Swing With Many Clubs, or One Club With Many Swings?

      By pganapathy ·

      My rule of thumb is a PW for everything from 100 yards in except specialty shots like a flop or a low runner.  I find it easier to eyeball it for distance and swing on feel for the distance I need to hit
