Hello folks,

Just dropping a line to introduce myself to the forum. Discovered the forum after finding Dave and Erik's stuff online. Went through the LSW videos etc. A lot of their ideas around the 5-keys and separation value resonated with me.

Been playing somewhat regularly for around 8 years or so with my handicap around +18. I don't practice enough to lower that further, and even when I manage to tune up my game to consistently break 90, the winter layoff in ontario means that I have to rediscover everything starting in May. So typically start of the season hovering around +24 and then gradually work down closer to +18 by end of season ... With the extended COVID layoff here in Ontario, I have tried to invest in equipment and more time practicing at home, and hopefully that pays off when the courses finally open!

Looking forward to participating in the forum.

Cheers,

Val.

    • Day 321: range session. Filmed while hitting to check things. Need a little more steep in the backswing, but good check to make sure I’m still on track. Also worked on sand shots for about 20 minutes. 
    • Have you talked with sprinters? Many would disagree that their sport is entirely physical. (I get what you're saying, but we're both speaking from a position, I think, of ignorance on this re: sprinting, or high-level basketball. What if you've missed your last four jump shots? How do you take the next one, or do you start to pass more?)
    • Also, go back to what you were doing when you were here. Start slow, and build from there.
    • Day 37 (6 Jun 25) - Friday men’s group shootout today - started off bogey-par, blew up three with lost ball triple.  Settled in to finish par-bogey, bogey-par-par-bogie 43 front. Opened the back with dbl followed by par, birdie, par, bogey, bogey, par, bogey, bogey to close with a 41 - 84 overall.  All that to cover key takeaways from today:  First - putting was solid with a total of 29 putts; Second - the two blow up holes were followed with pars (learning to leave it behind); Third - off the tee was solid (except for the blow-up on three); Fourth - of the 7 pars - 3 were up and down 1 putts and Fifth - out of position recovery type shots were about trusting the club to execute.  It was a good day - capped by closest to the pin on the par 3 12th hole….
    • And of course, none of that should matter if I’m practicing because it shouldn’t be based on the results of contact. Took me about an hour and a half to calm down to have that realization.
