Something interesting I noticed my last time out. I just started really playing this summer, and have played 9-hole rounds about 8 times in the last few months before the sun started getting too low to try to get out after work. Anyhow, me and my buddy were out on the course a couple of weeks ago, and I noticed that the greens didn't seem nearly as far away as they had when I first would go out there. There are a couple of holes where you have to carry a creek. Last time out, I was looking at the fairway right across the creek, and thought it amazing how close it's getting now.

Does this make sense to any of you?

I just thought it was neat.

You're probably starting to hit it farther so you're measuring things in comparison to how far you can hit. Or you're getting used to the course and I don't know, maybe it just is getting into perspective for you.

As your developing as a golfer, your distance and consistency increases and as a result your confidence increases too. The distance looking shorter is probably a result of the increased sense of confidence in your own game.

    • Day 568, May 23, 2024 Loooooooong day today. Got some shadow work done with an umbrella.
    • Day 148: 5/23/24 Hit balls on the range measuring ball speed for each club. Recently watched a fitting video where the fitter said he targeted 5 mph ball speed increase for each club.  Mine weren’t quite there. 4 and 5 mph were pretty similar except for 1 ball. Big jump for hybrid, bigger jump for 4-hybrid, and huge change for driver. Swung for the fences with driver and hit them all pretty straight at the end of my session. Several at 111 mph, which is above my normal speed. Finished with chipping release 1 with several clubs.  Good session!
    • Birdied 15 at my home course today and made a birdie the other day at a course I don’t usually play. Will update the spreadsheet once I’m home on my computer. 
    • Day 70. Played 9 at Grand Niagara. Very very windy day, but I hit the ball well for me. The wind did help me hit my longest drive ever at 282y and I did make a birdie on a par 5. 
    • So, the struggle right now with the driver is that I’m dipping down with the body, shallowing wrongly.  When I try to get my arms down, I end up not turning much at all. End up hitting the sweeping overdraws or if I dip with the body then I’ll hit massive pushes. I’m trying to turn better with the body and also get the arms down at the same time. Easier with the irons than it does the driver. also, here’s an image when you almost entirely missed the ball. 🤣🤣🤣
