Two days ago, after a fair bit of putting practice I went out and shot +11. A best ever 9 holes of +3 on the front, followed by a struggle over the last 4 holes (including water) left me +11 through 17 (I parred the last)

Today was almost a similar story.
Shot +4 on the front (with a double from a plugged bunker lie on the 9th)
Started ok on the back nine. Found myself +6 with 4 holes to play.

Cleared the water this time! , but went bogey, double to find myself +9 thru 17.
Short of the green in 2, but a putt I thought I'd missed dropped in the right edge to save par on the last!

Ended up +9 (79) but with a surprising 34 putts! Couldn't believe how many putts I'd had! But then I did have 3x 3 putts today.
I should mention this round wasn't played in competition, therefore wasn't counted toward my official handicap. Neither was the 81 I shot two days ago...

Practice plans for this week:
Full swing/pitching session (GW-6i)
bunker practice (had 2/3 sand saves today - a new best)
2x putting sessions

New bests
+9 for 18
+3 for 9

Recent stroke ave. 83.4

Sounds like someone needs putter help. Haha.

Good job man! Keep practicing! You're doing fantastic! Just think what you would have shot with 26 putts!

      Feel like you are left side dominant. Keep the back of your glove running through impact. Keeps leading edge down without digging. You will pick them clean with some zip if the grass is nice and generally acceptable results off anything less than ideal. Works with both hingy or dead hand pitches and chips.

      Day 52 (30 Apr 26) - Had planned a solo round, got invited to be part of trio that included a fmr mini tour pro.  Was fun playing back a set of tees and having to stay in my game plan. Both were very engaging and encouraging in the round.  A good day in working through and making smarter shot choices.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."
