Been following the thread and it has me very excited. Current handicap is 28.8. Got play Friday got a 113. Best part of the round was my putting. Only 2 three putts. Had 2 blow up holes where I got an 11 on one and an 8 on the other so all and all not horrid. Did some range work today hitting a small bucket and then working hard on putting and chipping. Something new I tried was a more neutral grip. Worked well for day one in the short game but feels very awkward in my takeaway for full shots so I will keep practicing. Was told it will with turn over. As my strong grip though manageable doesn't allow for much release. At least how I do it :doh: plan to practice some more and maybe play Wednesday or Thursday. I will keep you posted.

Finally broke 100 and I fell like 90 isn’t far away as I broke 45 multiple times on 9 holes.  Today I was red hot on the first 9 and scrapped and scrambled on the back 9.  After the first 6

Well, it took nearly four months of golf, but I finally cracked 100 today by two strokes.   We had to start on the back nine, and I had two or three OOB tee shots that cost me.  The front was much bet

I think the swing advice is fantastic. But, here is some fundamental advice that I received as a young golfer. 1. Play with people that are better than you and ask for feedback. The operative

Welcome to the breaking bad club Ryan. Looks like you are within stricking distance of 99. Only two 3 puts on 18 is great. I need to get there. Keep us updated on your progress!

Made it to the range today, but really had a "flat" kind of practice ... I printed this shirt for fun to show "my colors"... got a couple of comments and looks ... hey iSuk ... but I play fast :-D

trying to think of other fun or funny shirts ideas that represent the 100+ golfers ... and there are a lot of us!  Might do a red neck golfer shirt ... for the Bubba in all of us ;-)

I am right at the 100 mark.  I broke it at the end of last year a couple of times, my best score ever was 97.

This year has started out pretty well, I don't get to play 18 very often.  But have been at 49 and 50 almost every 9 I have played.  My worst 9 hole round was 53 so far this year.

The last 18 hole I played a couple weeks ago I was 99.

My second shot was/is my biggest challenge.  I am pretty fair off the tee, but I was always short on the second shot on par fours.  Last year I really worked with my four iron and it was paid off.  I still have a problem with left to right.  I seem to be right on most of my long irons, not slice, just hitting that direction.  My tee shot has improved so that most of my second shots will be with my 8 iron, it is my best friend right now.

I can remember when a bad tee shot on a longer hole meant double digits.

My plans this year are to really work on my putts, I plan to set something up in the garage, and to get my net back up at home.  I have a lot of yard to work with my short game.

I find that getting a club in my hand everyday, even if just for minutes really helps.  If I wait until I have time for an extended practice, it would just never happen.

My wife often rides along with me, she has decided she would like to give golf a try, so I am getting her a set of clubs for her birthday.  She is left handed, that makes it fun.  I look forward to more time on the course if we are both playing!

Keep after it, and it really cool that your wife is wanting to play.

Managed to get a 99 to my rules on my saturday round. One mully per round and a foot wedge due to a outhouse being placed right next to the fairway on one hole... so all in all probably over 100 by exact but I am making great progress!! Played another 18 on sunday and did remarkably worse lol....

Congrats on being so close to consistent golf in the 90's. It sounds like it wont be long. It is also great that your wife wants to get involved. That can be 4 extra hours together a week.

Love the shirt man!

Working on a redneck / hunting golf shirt ... Drawing it up now, so if you have any image ideas let me know or PM me ... I always love the humor side of golf. P.s. The wife shrunk that shirt, so have print another one up.

I look forward to checking out the hunting/redneck one. The only thing I love more than golf is hunting.

I just had my best bucket of the year.... After having one of my worst earlier in the day. Something just clicked. My ball striking was much better and I was able to hit my 5 iron for the first time. I am pumped and ready for my next round on Thursday.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 211 (29 Nov 24) - Friday men’s round albeit a solo foursome (temps in the 40’s, day after Thanksgiving and the average age closer to 75 - I’m a youngster at 65).  Interesting day of semi-solid play (8 of 18 GIR). Hit all four par threes in one (a first) - parred each; still had a couple 3 putt bogies; and blew up on 3 of the par 5’s (go figure)). The blow ups were some serious tree rattlers - amplifying how I got stupid and greedy instead of smart and content to just get back in the short stuff.

      Day 60 - 2024-11-29 Got about 3.5' of snow today, so I was going to go to Golf Evolution, but… I only left the house to throw some snow. Instead, i checked out my putting stroke on HackMotion in the basement. Turns out… it's pretty good, and I'm very in touch with what I'm doing.

      First time playing this game, Spanish is my native language. It was impossible for me. After 4 worlds I run out of worlds that have the letters I've already found that can be combined with the remaining letters.. just repeated the 4th world to knew the answer. I know the world but it never came to my mind.
