Better than having to make up strokes from the first three holes.

If you walk up to your ball and think "That's a perfect lie." - Duff it.

If you walk up to your ball and think "That's a terrible lie." - Still duff it.

More likely......If you walk up to your ball and it's a perfect lie, it'll turn out NOT to be your ball. :-D

This was going to be in my part II series.   Happened to me yesterday.   Worse yet, you find out it's not your ball after you hit and put it on green.

Been there, done that. "Annoyed" my son in the process.

If you try to manage the course, the course will swallow you in.

The harder you try to get out of playing bogey golf, the longer you will stay as one.

For every fellow bogey golfer you met, you "hear" about 10 others who went from being a beginner to single handicap golfer in 18 months.

Probably the worst for me is missing greens in regulation all day but 2 putting everything anyway.  Then hitting a green in regulation and having a freak 3 putt.  That is annoying as hell.

To the OP:  Loved your post, man.  No truer words spoken!

"How do I make bogey?  Let me count the ways."

Last night I drove the ball great.  Hit 6 of 7 fairways with the driver and hit both par-3 greens.  Somehow I was able to parlay those beautiful drives into a triple on a par 5 and a double par EIGHT to finish up the round.  It was the mid-range game that completely failed me last night.  That and two bladed sand shots that went 20-30 yards over two greens.

I suck.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By boogielicious · Posted

      Well the first advice I would give is to look at your swing. If you are swing out to in, it may be difficult to fix your misses with club adjustments. They would only be a bandaid. I use midsize grips because I have long fingers and I feel I have more control with them. I also have tinkered with shaft length and swing weight. But I know when I miss it’s because my swing was off.
