Hi to you all, first post and already admitting my biggest problem it seems.

This goes out to all those hot-headed guys, that do not accept bad shots to happen.

I have been a true hacker for quite some time, taking golf really only as a means to do some workout. Working in Asia, and honestly most Metropolis here don't give too many options in my opinion. But Golf is obviously one. So I have for most of the last 3 years been pretty much horrible, and only cared, when playing with friends back in Europe...

For the last 3 months, I have now gone on a practice rage: daily driving range, twice a week with the pro, 2 rounds of golf a week. And my handicap went from a true 30+, to about 13 in no time. But, the handicap is not the thing that I really give alot about really. It is rather breaking my best score at any course that I play. Say I shot a 75 (Par 66 Course), everytime I play this course again now I aim to go lower. As happened today: Went out there: was 2 over through the first nine, a nice par on 10, went OB in 11, Tee'd off again: OB, lost it from there ... Same happened yesterday: I had a great round really: 39 on the back-9, 3 over, and decent throughout the first nine, if ... if you just forget about 3 outrageous holes in the middle of it.

Now: I do know that I play this only for fun. But yet, I just cannot accept when on the course, that I would have a really bad shot. And as soon as this happens, I can basically write-off the next 3 holes at least...

I just assume, there must be people like me. So all of you that did struggle with keeping it together for 18 holes. What did you do? (I know: play one hole at a time, treat every shot seperatly, etc ... all not working for me at this moment anyways!).

Tips much appreciated.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
