After years of trying (ok, 3 years since I first picked up a golf club) I was able to find that mythical two-digit score!

Ended up shooting a 95 today at the Legends golf course in Clermont FL...

Biggest changes today were that my shots were more consistent. My driver was behaving pretty good, only missed one fairway the entire round. Distance was kinda short, going between 200-230, but I'll take it... Irons are still a problem, I missed GIR primarily because my second shot (third on par 5s) just isn't consistent enough yet. The good thing is all my misses were playable, nothing that was too horrible.

Wedges were awesome today, so after my crappy approach shots I was pretty confident, and was always able to get the ball in a good spot on the green. Had 38 total putts, so that definitely needs some work, but my irons are so bad I've never bothered to practice putting :)

Oh yea it was really windy today too, 15-25 mph winds, made a few of my shots pretty wild (or REALLY short when it was blowing straight at me off the tee)

So, this is one of the toughest things I've ever done, I've never had to work so hard for anything in my life, but I feel GREAT now! Time for a cold beer or 5 to celebrate!

Nice job! Just work on that putting though...that is a lot of putts. That is what I would work on first. Then the irons. Checkout my thread (the one about golf milestones breaking 100, 90, 80, 70) in this category

Yea I had 2 1-putts, 12 2-putts and 4 3-putts. The 3-putts were either really long ones that I didn't get enough speed, or something that I had a close miss on the 2nd so a tap-in 3rd putt.

But totally agree, need to get my putting average down.

Way to go, it does feel good. It didn't take me to long but like everyone else is saying 89 is next, and that sounds like a fun goal.

April 29 was my 1st round and I shot a 128

May 24 was my 7th round and I shot a 99

Today June 2, my 10th round and I shot a 96

My game is coming along nicely. I hope everyone else's does two.

Sincerely, Jim

      Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing.

      _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
