Over the past few weeks everything has come together, accept my scores. I feel like right now I don't have any one real flaw in my game. Normally I'm battling my driver trying to keep it in the fairway, or hitting my wedges fat, but right now, I donno it's like everything has started falling in place and I feel like I'm on the verge of putting up some solid numbers. Has anyone else had this happen, where they could feel improvement and not see it and then all of a sudden it started showing up? I'm hitting longer and straighter then I have all season, and have become very very good within 160 yards. I'm playing tommorow with my dad for the first time in a few weeks and I'm hoping it comes together.

Thanks man thats why I'm going to attempt to do. Anyways "Ghetto Prez" I dont understand your need to type the things you do on a message board? Are you that much of a white nerd that you try to talk up to people on the internet, trying to make them think your some sort of a thug?? You sound friggen ridiculous, at least your posts that I've read, and beyond that you never offer anything to say "your gonan get bitch slapped by the golf gods" wow, clever. Perhaps you can go back to your DND forum where you're other wanna be friends find this chatter amusing or useful, if not please don't comment in my threads.

Yeah I was feeling the same way just a little while ago and right now I have been on FIRE recently, shooting 38 and 37 respectively my last 2 times out.

You didnt read the article in SI by Rick Reily about the Golf Gods did you? You should never talk about how close you are or how lucky you've been. It will only come back and bite you.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I had two events the past two days. Yesterday I was playing a course blind. Hit it solid. Hit 9/14 fairways, 12/18 greens, 34 putts. Many of those putts were the result of balls that were close-ish to the hole when they landed, but wound up a long way away once they'd finished rolling (backwards mainly). Then today, hit 11/13 fairways, 11/18 greens, 37 putts, and shot 80. 8 over par and it wasn't particularly pretty. My big problem today was my pitching. I was inside 100 yards of the hole and off the green on 9 occasions.  1st - drive to about 75 yards, fanned a 58 degree short and right. On the green, but a good 40 feet away and good two putt from there (so took 3) 2nd - laid up to a bunker and it's narrow past it, so had 165 in, missed it right with an 8 iron. Wet rough, chip from about 5 yards off the green and the club snagged. It got on the green, but only temporarily. Overcorrected a bit on the next one and hit it a bit firm and it rolled out to about 35 feet. Putt didn't break and it ran on a bit and I missed the one back (greens were fast and a little bumpy, which didn't help, but doesn't excuse either). (took 5 to get down from close to the green) 4th - had about 95 from the right rough, hit it on the green and two putts (3) 5th - 90 from the fairway, tugged it and it got a firm bounce, chipped on and hit what I thought was a decent chip, but it ran out down the hill and two putts from 20 feet (4) 7th - 65 from the fairway, significant upslope and hit it a bit hard, ran long left against the collar. Tried to blade a PW, but it got under a bit so didn't advance it anything like far enough. Made a good two putt from there (4) 11th - 63 from the fairway, hit a squirrelly pitch on the green and two putts (3) 12th - 75 from the semi-rough, caught it a bit clean and it wound up on the back edge. Putting down a tier and it ran 8 feet past (that was actually a really good putt and couldn't have done any better I don't think) and missed that (4) 13th - 55 from the fairway, overcorrected and hit the big ball before the small ball. Then made a stellar up and down from 25 yards short to an elevated green with a putter (3) 15th - down in three from a greenside bunker (3) That was it. The other 9 holes I hit it on the green from outside 100 yards. So on those 9 occasions, I took 32 shots to get in the hole. 3.56 average. Terrible. Reason I'm posting this in here is to see if anyone has any suggestions for how to work on my contact with pitch shots. I don't have access to a grass range. Only mats and it's easy off a mat. Partly I think my problem is I've hit it off mats so much this winter that I've lost my judgement on where the ball is versus the ground because of the leeway granted. Open to ideas. I also suspect that under pressure I stand a bit closer to it and then get steep and hit down on it and it puts me in a bad place, but I can't seem to get myself to not do that.
