73 (+2) during the forward tees experiment with 3 lost balls, 74 (+3) twice, once with 6 birdies from the whites at Keystone River, but my low index round was actually a 76 (+4) from the blues at my dad`s home course in L.A.

Low for me was a 79 on a par 70... first (and so far only) time I've broken 80... Season is just starting here really though, so we'll see if I can pull that off again.

Sounds like a lot of you have had some pretty solid rounds this year.  Im heading out monday and hoping to break 80 as it will be probably be my last round.

97 (I finally broke 100 this year).  Even better for me what my worst scores are.  I have come down to an average scores of 107 to 113.  This is way down from last year and the beginning of this year where I was in the high 120's on a regular basis.

Shot 83 last weekend to finally beat my previous personal best of 84, which was 2 years ago. My goal this season was to shoot in the 80's more consistently since after my round of 84 (again, 2 years ago) I had been shooting in the 90's. I'm happy to report that I had quite a few rounds in the 80's this season. Lessons help.

I shot a 95 once this year, and if it wasn't for some HORRIBLE putts I could have broken 90 that day.  I was hitting my irons better than usual which was nice.

In my bag:
Driver - Diablo Octane 10.5*
Fairway Wood - Diablo Octane 15*
Hybrid -  Edge 21*
Irons - X20's 4I - 9I
Wedges - X20's PW/SW
Putter - White Ice 1
Ball - Warbird

37+37=74, 3 over, my all time personal best by two strokes over previous best. The funny thing is, although I drove well, I didn't hit my irons any better than I did in many good rounds (80-82) this year, the difference was totally short game: 28 putts from good putting, chipping, and pitching. With my average short game, it would have been around 80.

Best round of the year was a mixed bag upon the finish...67 with a double on 18 and a 70 with a double on 17...ouch! The first was just a double cross into the wind, just didn't find the ball and had to re-tee, the second was just a brain fade...double form 100 yards in...fat, fatter and 3 putts...It's been a good year overall.

Shot an even par 32 on an executive 9 hole layout. First time I ever shot even par anywhere. Usually shoot low 80's.

My 12 year old son, Andrew, played in a junior golf league this summer where they give the kids a 30 minute lesson and then send them out to play 6 holes with other kids. He really wanted to have me come and play "his" course with him. Was very cool to have "the old man" show him how it's done and shoot even par. I have the scorecard on the mantle next to my hole-in-one ball.

I shot 80 once this year and 81 a couple of times...79 is very elusive for me.

    • Day 353: mirror work again today. Working on the same stuff - wrist twist and shaft lean. 
    • This is my second year playing golf, I started last season but have always struggled with a slice. I've tried multiple things to try and fix the slice: Closing the face. Rotating my right hand out or clockwise in the grip. Keeping the club head low in my back swing. Focusing on a straight swing path. Trying the straighter arms like Bryson D. (as seen in the videos above) Trying to not let me hips get too far ahead of my down swing. Trying to keep my shoulders down until after I've made contact with the ball. Etc. I recently changed to the straighter arms which has helped me adjust away from such a drastic slice. So it has helped a bit. Before that, I was trying to keep the club head low in the back swing and this was the most helpful in correcting the slice, however it drastically removed power and distance in the strikes and would even sometimes result in a hook. About a couple months ago I had a single lesson with my driver and learned some helpful things, but have since struggled to perform what I learned well. One of the things in the lesson was to keep my shoulder down more in the the down swing until after making contact with the ball. This would help the slice a bit, sometimes drawing the ball. To even it out, I was instructed to rotate my hips a bit earlier in the down swing. What I have noticed however with the earlier hip rotation is that it's really hurting my lower back a lot. Since backing off on that it's helped not injure my low back as much. I believe my main issue might possibly be the swing path, being a Pull Slice.   See above, was mid typing when you posted. I have never watched Moe Norman's swing to be honest. I have never measure my hip rotation, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on that after you read about my hip rotation / back pain issue.
    • Two questions… Are you trying to swing like Moe Norman? What's your hip turn like? Have you ever measured it?
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 2 years My current handicap index or average score is: 18 Index My typical ball flight is: Slice/Fade with a driver and FW. Generally straight with irons, varies some days left or right. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Driver slice. Videos:   
    • What are the best drills to practice awareness for club face control? This one came to mind after remembering a bit from the latest release of the podcast. I also think that I have poor club face to path awareness.
