More often than not, they will double roll the greens for club championship.  I know my club does.  The speed of green will be very different from your usual rounds.  The sooner you get use to faster green, the better.

[/quote] Lol.....that would've gone over well at my old club (not). Man, there were more arguments during the club championship than at any other time of the year. Not in the championship flight, of course, but in the various flights? There was always some yahoo playing to a 20 in the seventh flight or whatever, crushing his opponents 8 and 7 all the way through the flight and then firing an 85 in the flight winners' medal play event we held every year. If everyone posted all of their scores the way they were supposed to, 'playing better than my handicap lately' just couldn't happen at our club. They wouldn't just grab the latest revision, but they'd also look at scores that were about to be included in the next revision. If there was an unreasonable disparity, it was adjustment time. Still, sandbaggers would always get through somehow.

I have finally reached the point where I can start competing in larger tournaments in our area and finally played in a two day tournament a couple of weeks back. On average I am shooting 4-5 over par and I made this tournament into something much bigger in my head and just choked, shot an 84 and an 86. I went out with the golf pro after the second round as we play together all the time and shot 2 over on 9. As mentioned earlier, just go out and play your game, stick to your routine, and don't make it into something bigger then it really is, just a round of golf.

I tend to sound like a broken record, but if you don't already, start putting everything out. If you're used to having yr buddies tell you to pick it up " inside the leather", those slimy little downhill 2 footers can eat your lunch when your playing competitors are watching, and even hoping that you'll miss them.

Great advice here.  Start now putting them out.  It will only make you better

Same goes for playing the ball down at all times. That means out of footprints in traps divots in the fairway and any other crap lie you get. If you do it every round it's second nature in a tourney.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      It sucks to carry around a lot of water, but ideally it should be way more than we think.  I buy those gallon jugs of water and hang them from my pushcart when I walk. I agree with the electrolytes as well. You don't just sweat out water, but you lose electrolytes as well.

      Workout Before or After Playing a Round of Golf (2022)

      By WUTiger · Posted

      A 2010 study from the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research compares the effects of different pre-round stretch routines for competitive golfers. Active Dynamic Warm-up: Swing Medicus driver, hit 3 shots each with selected clubs. Passive Static Stretches: Various athletic stretches such as hamstrings, chest stretch and reverse trunk twist. The subjects were collegiate golfers with a HDCP index of 5 or less who engaged regularly in strength and fitness routines. All golfers had two test days: one with active dynamic (AD) warmup, a second with AD followed by static stretches (SS). The results were then compared, within golfers and across golfers. For performance testing after the warmups, golfers hit three driver shots at time 0, 15, 30 and 45 minutes after the warmup. The study shows that static stretch formats produced poorer performance outcomes in the four measures shown in Table 5, which shows Time Zero results. The performance deficits under the PSS protocol decreased over time. Some suggestions on why the passive protocol was tied to lower performance than the active protocol: The passive stretches routine induced excessive range of motion,  basically producing wobbles in the golf swing. Other research indicates that the stretching produced slack in the tendons, lessening the amount of muscle force that could be transferred into the shot. One caveat: The study had good scientific controls and balancing of treatments (test routines). This was, however, an exploratory study and raises as many questions as it answers. Also, although the study was done back in 2010, it is still cited as a primary work in recent reviews. A quick online search did not reveal any follow-ups on the study. For those interested, the study PDF is below. PassiveStretchGOLF.pdf

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.

      Puerto Vallarta Vacation / Vidanta

      By Mystique · Posted

      Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
