I think I can safely speak for 99% of this board in saying that I wish I sucked enough to shoot a 75.

Agreed. Shooting a 75 is a problem I would LOVE to have.

Not sure what you want from this group. Maybe a hug?

I'd prefer a putting lesson at this point. Time to crack my copy of Harvey Penick's Little Red Book and re-learn how to do it right.

I just finished a week of some of the most piss-poor golf since I started taking the game seriously again four years ago. Nice 76 today, nice 75 yesterday. The 75 yesterday included five three-putts and my old Rossie finding a watery grave in the pond by 18 at my home course. I went and got a new putter last night, putted pretty well with it today, but then I forgot how to get the ball to the green. I'm not even going to waste my money playing in the Norfolk City Am in two weeks. F**k it.

Give me a break.....

2 weeks is a long time. your game will go on a trend up then down then up again. by the time your tournament comes around you will be on another down trend shooting easy75. your probably just over complicating it like 90% of scratch golfers do. i know i do it all the time, just stop worrying about the putt you are going to leave yourself and putt everything for the hole. if your a 0.3 your putting stroke is the problem, you just need a good 3 hours on a green then another 3 at the range and you'll be good to go. these people are all hating on your problem but any scratch golfer knows that it is so frustrating to lose those simple strokes because without those small changes we might as well be the average hacker

Dude relax..... Its the Norfolk City Am. You get more prestige by winning the weekend foursome blitz at Ocean View. I'd love to be a club repair guy for a player like you. I could give up my day job.

I played Ocean View three times this year - twice during the Snowman invitational (our team was winning the championship flight when we forgot how to play golf the last four holes) and once earlier this summer. I think I paid for the repairs on William Carson's range picker (Peninsula Golf, the one across from K-Mart on Mercury) with all my broken clubs

Are the greens at OV any better now? They sucked back in May/June.

Sounds like you need something by Bob Rotella and not the Little Red Book.

      A little refresher. here is an article about Bryson at the 2021 Ryder Cup. He was the "entertainer" then. "Wherever he went the crowd welcomed him like a Packer walking into an Oshkosh bar, and DeChambeau responded with nods and thumbs-up and cap-tips and shouts of “Let’s go!” On the sixth, when the crowd began to boo when he grabbed his 3-wood, Bryson loudly proclaimed, “Guys, I’m still going for the green, calm down,” which dialed the cheers back to 10. Spectacle recognizes spectacle, after all. On this afternoon, one would have had a hell of a time explaining to an outsider that he was the most divisive guy in golf."   Ryder Cup 2021: How Bryson DeChambeau won the week, and found redemption, after summer from hell | Golf News and Tour Information | Golf Digest No American had more questions entering the Ryder Cup than DeChambeau. By Sunday evening, he answered them all and looked, at long last, like he was enjoying golf again.

      Launch Angle With Driver

      By StKildaSenators ·

      So I have been hitting my driver a lot better this year. Massive slice is gone (unless I try and kill the ball, which I avoid doing now), and a bad drive is now more of a big fade. However my launch angle is pretty low. I went to a range with TopTracer today, and when I was using my driver I was probably averaging about 5 or 6 degrees launch angle. Unfortunately the only stat I can see on the app is that for the long drive game I averaged 251 yards, so I don't have any other numbers.    What are some of the likely causes of having such a low launch angle? I am thinking I am either hitting down on the ball, or the ball is too far forward in my stance and I am catching it a little thin (while I don't feel like I hit consistently thin, a thin miss is definitely more common than a pop-up miss.    I play the ball off my front foot big toe. Is that not a good spot? Could I be standing too close to the ball? It isn't uncommon for me to hit one a little bit with the heel, but I basically never feel I hit one of the toe.

      Conjecture.  This sounds like you’re just making up the excuse to not like him even more.

      Oh yes I agree. I’m not saying he did his media stuff for that reason, I’m just speculating that maybe he hopes that happens. BD obviously loves competition and fans, which he’s really not getting with LIV.

      I am not sure that is what he is driving with his YouTube channel. I think he would be doing exactly the same thing is now if he never left for LIV.
