I purchased a three pack of lessons from Golf Galaxy and so far have worked on the driver and chipping / pitch shots. Both have helped me quite a bit and have improved my game immensly. I have a single lesson left and am trying to decide what to take it on.

These lessons are done in doors and video taped with high speed cameras (well relatively high speed)

THe biggest weakness in my game at this point is lag putting outside of 20' and aim with scoring clubs (8-GW)

I have a pretty good sense of my distances with my clubs

I generally read a putt correctly (although sometimes I over or under estimate a break) and inside of 15' my lag putts are usually pretty good, but those longer lag putts always throw me off, I end up pushing the ball with the longer back stroke, or I get afraid of blasting it over and leave it short.

On shots between 100 and 140 yards I feel like provided I put a good swing on the ball I should be on the green (or close enough to get up and down). But often times I find the ball just goes right or left and after I am done, I take another swing and see that is how I aimed the ball.

anything I can try at the course or on the range to work on resolving these issues?

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water


you can't practice putting indoors into a screen. You do the math.

My swing thoughts:

- Negative thinking hurts more than negative swinging.
- I let my swing balance me.
- Full extension back and through to the target. - I swing under not around my body. - My club must not twist in my swing. - Keep a soft left knee


Exactly. If you want to work on putting you can always practice on a chipping/putting green before you play. Scoring clubs will improve your score even if you're an average putter.

Go with the aiming. You can do alot of putting work by yourself. Not worth the session just to work on putting. But hey it's up to you.

I agree, short irons as well for sure!

    • Day 121: did a bit of mirror work with my driver. Working on shortening the backswing.
    • Day 305 - Grip and backswing work. Full swings were bothering the hip a bit. 
    • Day 56 - 2024-11-15 Light day. Lots of catch-up work. Checked the grip to make sure I wasn't compensating there, and did a little backswing work.
    • Day 197 (15 Nov 24) - Played in the Friday men’s group outing - blustery conditions in play (wind gusting 10-20; spotty pop up misting rain; temps in the mid 50’s), so it was a good day to work on course management.  Solid round of 83 (41/42) - 7 GIR, total 32 putts - included 10 pars (3 being up and downs), a dbl and triple bogie.  
    • Have been on a mid to low 80’s roll of late - today was no different with an 83 (41 front / 42 back).   Played in the Friday men’s group outing - blustery conditions in play (wind gusting 10-20; spotty pop up misting rain; temps in the mid 50’s), so it was a good day to work on course management, delivering 7 GIR, total 32 putts - included 10 pars (3 being up and downs), a dbl and triple bogie.  Local course starting to get that winter feel - wet areas wetter, thin grass thinner, greens  trickier.
