So you low handicappers, how the hell do you bring it all together mentally
Like, When i'm practicing, my tee shots are fine my irons are great my wedges are great my putting and chipping are all good now
But when i'm on the course i can't bring it together.... My tee shots are shitty then my irons are good
My long shots are good then my chipping/putting is bad
blahhhhhh

My Clubs:
Ping I3 + blade 3-pw
9.5 09 Burner with prolaunch red
Nickent 4dx driver
Taylormade Z tp 52, 56, 60
YES Carolyne putter

more rounds. how often do you get out? i've found i press a little bit when i don't play often enough. but when i'm playing 3-4 times per week I relax a bit more on the course and more often then not everything seems to come together for me.

How do you bring it all together mentally?

1. Practice, especially 100 yards and in and you're putting. You and I will never hit the ball like the pro's. However, you can save alot of shot's where everyone is fairly equal in the ability to hit the ball 100 yards or less.
2. Practice putting, again, you can be equal to any pro on the dance floor. Learn to get it around the track with 30 putts or less. One putt greens cover up a myriad of sins.
3. Manage your bad shots. You hit one in a bad spot, why compound it by trying to hit a miraculous recovery. Take the best exit back to the fairway and make you bogey, you could get lucky and save par, but don't turn the bogey into a double or triple.
4. Play within your ability.
5. Have fun because golf is the greatest GAME ever invented. It was meant to be enjoyable and for it's true lovers of the game to have a good time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm hoping to be a better golfer, and this is my plan:

1. Work more on my short game. On Sunday, I took my three wedges and prepared a range card for quarter, half, 3/4 and full shots.
2. Play more rounds!!! If I don't play regularly, I tend to make more stupid shot-selection moves than if I get out for 18 six times a month. Early in the season, I waste 4-6 strokes a round by dumb shot selection.

Focus, connect and follow through!

I think i was just in a shitty mindset
I have a very bad mental game
i Went to mens night tonight and shot a 42 over 9 par 37 so i'm back to where i should be
I think i was trying to make up for bad shots and just getting into more truoble and not hitting into my money areas aka 100 yardsish
only needed 16 putts over the 9 holes too which i'm happy with for now
I was just pissed off yesterday i guess

My Clubs:
Ping I3 + blade 3-pw

      3 Wood Shafts

      By rod7515 · Posted

      Im struggling to hit a 3 wood any distance. Im 67 now and used to use a 3 wood all the time. My swing speed with the 3 woods is between 80-84. I am only 5'5" tall. I currently have 4- 3 woods in my used club selection. I have an old Titliest 910FD, a Taylormade Sim2, a PXG gen 4 and a Ping G430. None of these can i hit more than 180 yards and often much shorter. My driver which is a Ping G430 I hit about 210-225. Heres the crazy thing, I carry a Taylormade Sim2- 7 wood that I hit 175-185. I carry an older titliest H1 Hybrid 23* that i hit 165-175. All yardages are with carry. When i hit both the Hybrid and the 7 wood they feel like very solid strikes yet I never feel like i hit any of these 3 woods solid. All of these clubs have regular shafts of different manufacturers. I would like to be able to hit a 3 wood 200 yards. Im thinking I need to start playing with shafts, Maybe even shorten them some. I have equipment to pull shafts and set swingweights and reglue. I have a bunch of reg flex old driver shafts that i could shorten. My driver, 7 wood and Hybrid are all D3 Swingweight. The 3 woods are D3 as well.  Where would you start? Thanks Rod

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By rod7515 · Posted

      This was a great read from start to finish. Ive been watching the LAB putters for 3 or 4 years now. Ive never been a good putter and Ive worked at putting but i just dont seem to get better at it. I play at least 3 times a week with a 11.6 Hdcp and i have owned probably 20+ putters over my last 10 years. Ive even tried the broomstick putters which at first I thought helped but as time went on i missed just as many putts. For me it comes down to nerves which i struggle to control when putting. I always feel like i have someone leaning over me watching my every move when i putt. I had a friend I play with this fall go get fitted for a LAB and he came back all excited, he bought one and he was already a player that probably averages 32 putts a round. So i think I would say hes a good putter. I used his putter a few times and the feeling i get compared to my putter which right now is a Ping Vault 2.0 Piper and just before that an Evnroll ER5v and before that Spyder Ghost........anyway the feeling I notice was that i can take the putter back without it twisting some. At least thats the feeling i get. I dont know if i would be a better putter with a LAB putter but after this year i will know as I went and was fitted and have one on the way. I can only hope it makes a differnce. If not ive got plenty of putters to fall back on!  Rod
