Well, I wasn't going to tell you tee height when I wasn't hitting it well.  But those last two drives... you know the LSW chapter about driving, and that includes a higher tee height than you used the first 16 holes. 

Worth noting that I'm not entirely sure I know how to hit a tee shot on a windy day other than "hit it and allow that the wind will stop it at some point."  But that's not the topic for your swing thread. 

You hit really well that day until the last three holes. Your swing really impressed “Gino Rodriguez” the professional boxing referee. Your Swing does look nearly picture perfect!

It was a windy day to boot. Like I said earlier we didn’t play bad, just not good :-D

Right, my tee shots were a near perfect demonstration of LSW. Tee up high and hit up to drive long, tee up low and things are “not so good”. 😊

Like duck hooks. I loved the attempt I made to “make the same shot” and teed too low exactly the same way and I duck hooked both shots exactly the same way into the next fairway. 🤪

My carry distances are well into the 250-255 range on Foresight. It’s possible my SS is only 95 or something like that but it said 104...I doubt my SF is that good either.

 

I just need to make sure I use a taller tee, as @Shindig and I found out this last weekend 😂

I was hitting duck hooks and spinny slices with my driver until I teed up higher. Hit the last drive 260 into a headwind, and two holes earlier over 280 which stayed on the fairway thanks to a side wind.

I just use these.

Those work really well too!

I just bought a bag of 100 4” Champs tees. That way I can dig in more. But in the meantime I have the wood ones.

I played driving range too much. No time, but I like the idea of all 4 of us going to Whittier then Tito’s afterwards! :-)

    • Absolutely. It's definitely something that took me a long time to learn. One of the things I kept telling myself during my tournament (out loud, mind you) was, "Stick to the plan." There was the temptation to cut off doglegs with the driver because I was hitting it well, at one point on #15 I actually walked to the tee box with it in my hand. I was like, wait a minute, this is not the plan. Put it back and hit 6 iron.
    • I think that's the same sort of issue though. Changing your game plan because you're playing well is not, generally speaking, a good idea. Playing a game to get you used to having a good score will (hopefully) help you learn to handle that situation better. So maybe next time you're playing well, you'll keep doing what you were doing. When I was about 19-21, I would play many times and find myself about even through 11 or 12 holes. Then I'd fritter a few shots away due to silly mistakes and end up shooting 4 or 5 over for the round. I did that a LOT. Then one day I didn't do that - I was even or so through 11 and wound up shooting -2 for the round. After I did that, I did it a lot more. I was probably improving somewhat over that period because I was playing a lot, but my mindset definitely improved as a result of that one round. It was like mentally I bucketed myself as a mid-70s shooter, so that's what I shot. Then after that one round I could break that down and mentally became a high 60s to low 70s shooter (on my good days at least). That was quite a freeing feeling. I do wonder if I'd have got better faster if I'd heard of the ideas to play front tees or the FIG round that Padraig talks about here.  
    • On second thought, it’s 16.7. Lock it in, @StuM! 😜 I’ll send you my index when it gets closer.
    • I’m sure others will play some rounds in between, too. I’m only joking about myself though. My index can only go down in the next five rounds. I’m expecting to play at least five rounds before this outing.
    • DAY 4:  Rain. 😒  Played "Around the World" on the putting mat (15 min). 🙂
