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.

On the way to the course, 6:30 AM.










Arriving at the course and the "Magnolia Lane"













Putting my bag on the cart and getting ready





Moving on to the 5th tee, where our shotgun starts.







And some more photos form the day

      How Much do You Exercise?

      By 4zim ·

      I’ve recently started KBs too and really enjoy it. I have one day of armour building complex and one day of a mobility routine. Adding in a speed training day too.    which routines do you do @Elmer

      Again, I’m not an expert so take it with a grain of salt My question is whether laying back even further becomes too conservative and that strategy is suboptimal as a result? Essentially what’s the cost of guaranteed longer second shot vs the x% risk for hitting the bunker? I think the optimal way to answer the question is looking at strokes gained, in consideration of the hazards and penalties, and picking the strategy that maximizes SG off the tee. I’ve seen some apps that do this but I’m not sure how accurate they are.   And again, asking all this so I can learn what I should be doing in these situations rather than questioning your approach Bill. I would give an example of the course I’m joining this year where I plan to aim at the bunker, but I don’t want to take over your swing thread any further!

      What @DeadMan said. From the satellite it looks like there's tall grass to the right, long of the fairway post-dog-leg. But left it just looks like regular rough all the way to the neighboring tee boxes. If that's true I'm aiming left edge of the green and bombs away every time, hoping for a 30-70 yard up and down opportunity.

      What's the case against blasting a driver at the green? I'm guessing it puts the penalty area/fescue too much into play, but if that's just standard rough around the green, there would be a good case for it. If it's not driver, then I agree with your approach. The one thing I would add is to shade your aim towards the bunkers vs. center of the fairway. Hitting out of a bunker is (marginally) better than a penalty drop.

      Yes, if you are gonna layup, then layup. No need to nickle and dime a few extra yards and bring bunker back into play.
