legitimate strategy to break 100?

[nuck81]

My tee time got rained out due to lightning storms. Ahh well, just more practice time till I break 100 for the first time...

"I can't imagine why you would counsel a 32-HC to practice these finesse shots. A 32-HC does not have the club control to pull off these shots with any kind of consistency. When he gets on the course he's going to duff the first attempt, or skull it across the green, when a simple 7I putting-stroke chip is all he needs."

A 7i putting stroke chip is probably not a great idea when there's 8ft of green to work with thats sloping away & the ball is sitting down.

My point was not to confuse your practice with all these shot ideas. It's comfort level. The more you practice messed up lies & shots the easier it'll be to save your score the next time you face it in a round. The flop, not so much. That gem only comes out when i've really screwed up.

I just read your blog on your last round. Looks like ballstriking & short game are piling up the strokes.

Short game-any club you use keep your hands ahead of the clubhead at impact. It'll crispen up your contact. No more blades/thins.

Ballstriking-are you tall?

@ chef

I'm 6' 2" So decently tall, an I'm hoping my clubs come in today (I'm using standard length G5s right now with tons of offset, which for me, means tons of hooking).

Ah, tall guy ballflight. I find alot of taller guys hit the ball quite high & have no problem fading it. That is quite an advantage when it comes under control.

Ballstriking-proper length clubs will probably help a bit. Short game-is really just about practice.

Year and half later, curious how that "break 100" advice panned out?
