I guess it happens to all of us. I have a pretty decent short game, including my putting, because I miss so many greens. I usually get around in less than 30 putts, probably because I chip up and one putt a lot. Yesterday, however, I had four three putt greens. Not sure why as they just didn't drop. Burned a lot of edges but couldn't get them to fall in. Just chalk it up to a bad day I guess.

1-practice your putting. somedays will be easier than others. everybody has those days. how you deal with them is defining.
2-don't break clubs. it's infantile. same as throwing clubs or slapping a putter(i've seen both). golf is supposed to be fun & relaxing. unless you're a pro playing for a living, you have no reason to get mad on the course.

I must know what it means to "slap a putter." Sounds vaguely obscene.

Wait... what? You can't putt so you broke your wedge? lol.

I've slapped my putter, but never broken a shaft of my club because of it..

And you threw it out? Hope it wasn't an expensive wedge!!!

Don't feel so bad. My handicap is mostly based on my putting ability, but last weekend, I putted so bad I took 38 putts in a round. The next two days, I played Fantasia Fairways, the world's longest, hardest mini golf course. I shot a -3 and a -10. It sometimes comes and goes, just be glad when it's there.

I dislike that quote, not because I am not good enough that I get angry but more the lack of improvement and silly mistakes that makes one angry. If I do not meet expectations it makes me angry...

It's pretty damned funny from the outside looking in.

Actually it isnt... Im probably more in the mid-teens but I have never really kept one tbh. A few rounds where I kept score this year I shot 44-46-44-50-48 on a Par 36 so im sure that its somewhere in the mid teens range.

If Peter Jacobsen said it, he stole it. Maybe your expectations are too high? Bad shots are common at our level. We should be able to deal with it. Here's a Canadian saying you'll really dislike: "Suck it up, Princess."

And suck it up you have to do, but you still get angry.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 2, 12/31/25.  Similar to yesterday (rainy, no surprise), I hit primarily 6-iron full swings with the same focus;  I also hit some chips (about 1/8 swing) with the 54.  About two dozen full swings and an equal number of short shots.  All of this was indoors, off a mat, into a net, real balls.
