I read that as:

Man, I wish. Lately, my bread & butter is any distance >120 yards from the green where I still have a chance make GIR with a fairly full swing. Very inconsistent dialing in half and three-quarter wedges for the past two weeks.

That would put you about #25 on the PGA tour!

Lol well, you know, 15 ft, could be 25ft, and if I do it once a round then it must be my average!

Any clean lie and open line is bread and butta for me, regardless of the yardage is.

You go girl (insert side to side head movement and finger snap).

It's weird but my purest iron shots are when I'm hitting over, under, or around a tree. I was visuallizing hitting over a tree at the range on Wednesday - it was working.

That last bit is nice when you're golfing with strangers. It really breaks (melts?) the ice.

Maybe we should go for a round sometime. I'll melt the ice

No I believe you, just some power there. Do you play it back very far?

Big ups to Charl Schawartzel for climbing from #2 999 all the way to #2 on the rankings.

100 yards with my 60. I feel good about my shots out to about 170(7i)

inside 95, I start having trouble with fat shots and all sorts of other terrible swings.

110 yards with my gap wedge. I'm almost always within 10ft of the hole if I'm hitting off the fairway. However, I'm almost always in the rough from 110 yards away.

    • Day 133 (25 Apr 24) - Worked with the Divot Board today added a piece of cardboad behind the ball to help reinforce ball first contact. Contact improved through the round.   Added grandson's football goal posts about 10yds out to add a good start line visual Good session today. 
    • Day 120: 4/25/24 Full Speed Spectrum training session. Low energy today and my speed was lower than normal. Will see what I can do on Saturday.
    • Day 541, April 25, 2024 Ten minutes after lessons. Still not caught up, but should be by tomorrow evening.
    • Playing irons only may lead to some short-term gains, but you'll want to at least practice with the driver if you ultimately have some decently good goals.
    • He plays from 68.3 / 124.  A combo tee setup of normal mens and seniors.   I play from 69.7/127.   He left after taking a triple on 14 and then leaving.  Which plays to what I think his plan is,   He doesn’t stroke on 14 but would have to take bogey for non completed holes on the way in.   Maybe that’s giving him too much credit, but he found a way to add 4 shots to his score over three holes so….     I looked up his last 20 rounds in GHIN and he has a lot of rounds at easier courses (rating and slope) that are higher than his normal rounds at home.   Since I mostly have his front nine score during the match (36) to go on, he has three nine hole scores at our course posted that are 41-43. I wrote the whole thing up to the head of our golf association who runs all the tournaments.  Our pro is not involved officially in the tournaments because the golf associations are separate from the club.   He’s pretty well known for this, however I was pretty shocked at how well he played carrying a 15.   I think eventually they will do something, a lot of people have complained.  The golf association threw someone out a couple of years ago and it was a three month situation where the guy retaliated.  They probably are hesitant to go thru anything like that again.  That is a rather crazy story I might post about later.
