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!

lol - putting is actually at the forefront of my practice routine! But yeah, take out the 3 putts = 76. If only no one 3-putted!

    • Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
    • Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.
    • Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.
    • The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.
    • I have been carrying a 7 wood more often this year.  It’s especially handy if you have a downhill lie to an uphill green.  It’s also handy if the rough on the course is deep.
