I'm working on fitness and full swing accuracy. I believe these two go hand in hand. My short game and putting are relatively solid and I'm losing all my strokes to penalties and counter-productive

I have a bad habbit of pulling out of the swing, which leads to fat shots or worse full chunks. If I can consistantly keep my head down thru my swing, I could save several strokes a round.

I am pretty consistant of the tee and usually find the fairway at a reliable distance. My putting has been getting better as of late too. My biggest problem is not chunking my approach shot.

Working on two things actually. Tempo because I tend to get a litte quick and really working on taking the club away to the inside. I have been killing the ball and really hitting it square, but I have been terrorized by a high fade for a few weeks now. I think I'm taking it back too far to the outside and thats making swing inside the ball, pulling it and producing a fade...

Working (or rather, going to work tomorrow) on having a "soft left knee" in my downswing when teeing of. Instead of bringing my weight down on it and pushing down on my left foot on the downswing, for some reason I tend to stretch it a little, thus raising my upper body a bit and topping the ball. Don't seem to have that problem when the ball isn't tee-ed up though...

Chipping and pitching. My long game and overall ball striking has been really great but my chipping and pitching has suffered and costing me right now. At least the putter is good.

I missed 8 GIR's due to poor pitching a few days ago. I blame it on an injury I shouldn't have been playing with (and I'm resting now for a couple weeks) but my pitching was just bad. Anything between 50 and 120 yards was trash. My distances were off due to this injury so whatever. But it was just bad and I haven't been practicing it much.

I have been working on my driver. I have a Cleveland Launcher 10.5. I was getting the balloon effect off the tee, with a bad slice. About 2 months ago I switched from the Nike Vapor to the Bridgestone e6+. Both are great balls, but the Bridgestone has helped keep the ballooning to a minimum.
Recently, I have closed down my stance on the tee box. Originally, I had a wider base with the ball in line with my front foot. I have seen amazing results by shortening my base (only off the box). My ball is flying straighter and with a lower ball flight.
Any other recommendations are welcomed!

I'm not entirely sure how to phrase this, but I'm working on pre-setting my hips, in order to encourage a turn (vs slide). Essentially, I'm now setting up to the ball, making a minor turn with my hips, then doing what I used to do for my swing. The results - and it's only been two days - have been positive: my hooks are less, especially with the longer clubs. And my drives have gone from neutering the short stop to high and reasonably far (for me). I play on Wednesday, and we'll see if this holds up.

Working on hitting whatever shot i have in front of me at the time, I just want to get better at every aspect of my game, And try to enjoy a tough game, This game is so fustrating at times, and need to learn to slow down my backswing also, It seem to all start there for me? I Love This Game, wish i would of started when i was younger, but enjoy it more everytime i play, Need to work on getting My Wife out, so i can play more.....

My latest is to stare really hard and focus on a spot, then visualize what the swing, and ball flight will look like, and allow my hands to understand their role. The trick is to remember the spot and relax in the back and down swing. DON'T EVER TRY TO KILL IT, it will do you no good!

I have not been able to play or practice as much as I normally do. My playing time has averaged only 9 holes a week, in a golf league. In the past, I have practiced at least once a day, weather permitting. This golf season, I have practiced only once a week. Because of this, I have not been as consistent as in the past, and my 9 hole scores have fluctuated between 36 and 45. In the past, my range was 33 to 39.

This past week, I did double sessions of practice every day to prepare for the Fall season. Last weekend, I played in tournaments on Saturday and Sunday, and my scores were OK, but I noticed that I was more sore than normal in the shoulders, arms, and legs. I overdid the practice. I tried to get too much practice time done in too short a time. That does not work.

Good golf requires practice, but it must be done on a regular basis. Therefore, I took two days off, and will now practice on a daily basis and avoid overdoing it for the rest of our season, which ends in the next two months.

Due to life and other annoyances, I haven't played since the mid 90's. I am 52 and went to the driving range this past Sunday and was surprised how much my swing hasn't changed. I was reminded on Monday morning that their were a few muscles I hadn't used in a while. I will be heading back out to the range today with a new set of Adams Irons. (no driver or 3 wood today)

Good luck. It sounds as if you have a fundamentally sound swing, and it will come back to you.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By Zeph ·

      First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.

      My Favorite Putts

      By DrizZzY ·

      I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Darkfrog ·

      Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
