My two goals for 2012 were to get to a level where (1) I could comfortably play with different groups without being the worst player in every foursome, and (2) to break 100 in a legit round.  After a bunch of 101s and 103s and 97s with mulligans, today was the day.

A legit 98 on a tough course 70.6/131 from the blacks.

I know there are tons of people on this forum who are scratch or single handicappers so it probably doesn't sound like much, but a year ago I was 125-130 on any given day.  Booyah!

Congrats man this is a big deal! I've still yet to break that magic number of 100 myself. Last time out I shot a horrific 106, but enjoy it man. Next up.........90!

Congrats man, I know the feeling well. Had my first legit sub-100 round a couple of weeks ago, and it's a really good feeling. Gunning for 90 now.

yeah, I know it's going to be a LOT harder to go from 98 to 89 than it was to go from 125 to 98 but I'm going for it...

Congrats. I think this where you are no longer a "hacker" and just barely over a bogie golfer. This is where golf gets enjoyable. You still have alot of ways to cut out strokes and you can really see yourself starting to improve. Its all about consistency. Keep it up.

Congratulations to you!  Crashing through this barrier on the black tees at a tough course had to feel especially rewarding.

Nice job. The one idea you might want to entertain is spending more time on your short game. Last year, at this time, I had a 14.5 handicap when I started to live on the chipping and putting greens until I was evicted for winter. It helped me a ton, even though there's always room for more improvement. Keep at it and remember to have fun.

      That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
