It's a 54 hole competition. Well I think it is. Try to play consistently there's no point risking shots.

No, just 18 holes.

The 54 holes competition is the BMW final, which is to take place in South Africa. The top players from each category from each country participate.

Wow, I'm playing some of the worst golf right now. I'm shanking and hitting fat (specially the latter) like there's no tommorow.
Not a very good sign.

I have an idea.

DON'T practice at all. If practising is making you worse, then just relax coming up to the comp and you can't judge yourself on how you'll play.

That's what I'll do. I'll just hit the range on Wednesday for the last time before the match on Friday. And I will not hit any balls on the day of the match.

Just came back from the event. It was awesome. Can't say I played good, scored a 25 (winner scored a 39) but considering it's a very tough course with CRAZY greens, and that it's my very first time to play there, also the fact that today was windy like hell and it even rained a few times, I am really not dissapointed.

I could've scored better if I had some experience on the course, I picked up my ball on 7 holes and mostly because I was playing blindly. But the holes that I played I made good scores on them. The driving was OK and my irons were solid, but again, I was decieved on many holes by the yardages and the wind.

Photos will come soon, but till then here is a photo from the range.

      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.
