After only getting serious about golf last year I shot 90 twice last year, but had never broken that mark. Today I shot an 87. I still need serious work on my game, but I'm getting there. Today I only hit 2 of 14 fairways, but I'm missing them so close to the edge it's not hurting me.......with the exception of two I hit OB. I did hit 7 GIR which is good for me, and the greens I'm missing are on the fringe or by 5-10 yards. 31 putts which is about average for me. The greens were recently punched and I did 3 putt twice which absolutely steams me. I left some shots out there with two tee balls OB and one insanely topped hybrid that traveled all of 30 yards. In my mind it should've been 7 shots better. But, at this stage I'll take it.

This round comes on the heels of some range work with the irons which has paid off.

Congrats man, I've only got one sub 90 round myself and it was on a very easy course, but it still felt great.

Sounds like you noticed the same thing I did after that round, you really didn't have to play a LOT better than your regular game, you just had to be more consistent at what you can already do. What I'm probably not saying very well is that I didn't suddenly add 10 to 20 yards to each of my clubs, or suddenly start dropping 20' putts, I just kept my ball in play and kept the 3 putts to a minimum.

Good luck, here's to a great start to what will hopefully be a great season!

Congrats! I started playing lasy July and shot an 89 a few weeks ago. Went out a few days later and shot an 95 but actually hit the ball better. Since, I've been trying to work a fade / slice out and haven't came close to anything in the 80's but hey, it's a work in progress! haha Congrats again!

Heck ya man! I got away from golf for a few years (didn't have the time to dedicate to it but I am back now) and I still remember the first sub 90 round it was magical and something you just have to go back to sometimes. It was hard after that because once I did it I had to get it out if my mind that I won't be down there every round.

      Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

      You can try it with some lead tape first to see if it works for you.

      Driver and Fw3 Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
