Well, had a GREAT lesson today. Heading out in the morning to play 18 before work and am really going in with more confidence than ever! Not looking for a miracle but have a better plan of course management and some confidence around the greens! We'll see how it goes!!!! Either way, got three days of great weather and golf everyday so worst case, it's still gonna be great!!!!

I've been in the same situation. I know I got many problems in my swing, but on a lesson I got only one thing to work with. I kept my focus on only that detail, and it worked! My other flaws were present, I can't expect to fix everything at once, but a single (video) lesson was all I had before golf for 4-5 days. I didn't fix the problem, but I managed to keep focus on it, and subsequently played very well. Playing golf to work on something is not a bad idea. It is easy to start minigunning balls at the range, which can do more harm than good. On the course, you hit a shot, walk 100-200 yards, hit the next etc. I was very pleased that I'm able to make changes on the course and see the difference.

Best of luck to you!

Well, I went out today and was feeling great! I took my time warming up. Got to the first tee and hit it about 230 with a slight fade. Started my day out with a par. I did start on the back nine which is the harder part of the course but managed it with a couple pars and no triples! Ended the first 9 ten over. As I started the second nine, everything came together better than ever. I wasn't overthinking it. Hit 6 of 9 GIR's and missed one by 3 feet and another by 5! Missed two birdie putts by 6 inches. One stopped just right of the hole, 2" away and another stopped 4" short! Ended the second 9 seven over. Wasn't really disapointed with that either as I missed several putts but didn't miss any by over 3'! Didn't realize until I was unloading and decided to add the score up that I'd finished the day with a 89! My first day in the 80's and really feel like I played my best golf to date! And it was comforting that those were both on the same day!!!! Can't wait for tomorrow. Son has a lesson and then I'm playing tomorrow afternoon again!!

Going to take my first lesson tomorrow. Should be perfect timing with three days off to perfect what I learned. I am jazzed about it!!

I starting video taping myself this week. I know pretty much what I am doing wrong but not how to fix it. So I figure I better get it straightened out so I can progress to my goal of single digit.

Not to jinx you, but sometimes the first round (and often the first hole) is the best. Just have fun out there.

No worries there! I'm not the guy that gets mad or frustrated! I have a BLAST everytime I go out even if I shoot 130!!!! I just got serious last year so I'm nowhere near good enough to be mad when I play poorly! LOL

      Day 9 - (9 Jun 26) - Weekly nine hole session with my good friend, I played again from one set of tees up from my usual (set up the bag 4h, 6i-Pw, Gw, Lw) to focus more on iron play in the approaches (esp longer ones on the 4's and 5's).  Used the hybrid for tee shots only, had to play irons in from there on....made for a great work on course management and dealing with iron shots I normally don't see.  Key focus was on keeping ball in play, playing to distances that set up for either GiR or nGiR's.  Played a split nine (5 on the front, 4 on the back - the turn works nicely as both nines turn and run parallel coming in - easy to jump from 5 to 15 (especially when the course is not busy)).  Worked with my friend on his course management skills - offering thoughts as a "caddie" might and helping him to confidently choose and execute the shot he was seeing.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By WillieT · Posted

      Interesting that you post this - was playing today with my good friend in our typical weekly nine-hole round.  He has a lot of chatter in his mind, most of the time, yet today was much improved.  Yes, he went through a number of swing thoughts (like the ones highlighted), but then you could almost hear the switch click off - it was like when I shot the distance, and said its "X yards", he confidently said "this club should cover that..." and made his shot most of which were nicely rewarded.   Came away shooting one of his best nine-hole rounds ever.  For me, I do have thoughts  - not in terms of negotion but rather evaluation.  What is the wind doing?  Is there trouble - left, right, middle - not that I am a great fader or drawer of the ball?  Where is the better landing spot/zone?  What is my target window and what in the distance helps me see it?  I wonder if the "negotiation" is more about not understanding "typical distance for a given club (carry and roll)" and more about remembering how that flushed 5i that went and went or how the 4i that can get there with but not reliably or accurately.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      God I hate when golf can’t give me n+1 day of success. Drives me up the wall when my body is, FU! Im like, ok let’s check the vid. Yep too much turn, arms getting behind me. Ok, I work on that. Get the feel back for a shorter swing. Confirm with video. Then going back to arms down stuff.  Arms down, nope it’s hands out towards the ball. Oh, you get arms down better. Guess what, you don’t get to rotate and you hit 6 inches behind the ball. Yay!  Maybe I should have walked off the range and not wasted my time. I wish there was a body alert system when it’s going to a SOB for the day. 😭 OK rant over, I’ll be back at this tomorrow.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.
