"Lowest Score Wins" by Barzeski and Wedzik

Recommended Posts

Finished reading through it last night, but I think I need to read it another 3 or 4 times.

Two existing problems that exist need to be resolved:

1) An anchored back foot, I seriously need to drill in Key 2. Still working on the drills Mike gave me a month ago.

2) Ball striking. Okay, I hit better than before, but still not consistent enough. Probably because of 1).

More of my iron shots are transferred barely to okay, my woods are back (practice swings are okay), my hybrids are just adequate.

Yesterday, I played in the final day of a business golf event, played over the last few months. I tried to imply some of the aspects of the book. But I have to regret saying my focus was a bit off. I didn't play that great, especially the first 9. The second nine matched my playing hcp which was great.

What I didn't do well was noticing the hazardous elements on the fairway more , how should I say, with better notice. I was just focussing on the middle of the fw, and that was it. Playing along, I started to open my eyes more (where were the bunkers, o.o.b., trees etc.). Furthermore, I took a much sharper look when attacking the greens, GIR versus N-GIR. What I tried to do was aiming to the mid green instead of to the pin. It worked very well in for two holes which I will use as an example.

A long par 3 (which personally I feel is a sign of an architect whit little imagination), roughly 215 yards, slightly up against the wind. Surrounded by trees, left in front a bunker, rough everywhere, but right front a nice platform. Braveheart here gripped his 3w a bit shorter and played a fade of the bunker. I landed N-gir onto the platform, chipped it closely and came of with par.

Second. I had a shot to the pin around 125 yards, flag tucked right, bunker on the right and high rough. I forced myself to ignore the flag although I had good vision. I went to the cente of the green, landed pin high of around8 yards. My playing partner, who had a longer shot of around 150 yards and went for the flag. He was lucky to found his ball near bushes behind the bunker, leaving himself a difficult chip over the bunker. He made bogey, which was pretty good because he could easily lost his ball or chipped in the bunker etc.. I missed my birdie about a whisker, and made solid par.

Lot to win, just have to train myself and loose the bad habits of playing a hole to casual.

So my girlfriend's car was broken into last week and my bag was stolen and in the bag was my book. I'm sure this has been asked already but how can I go about buying another copy?

Unless of course you were hoping for a freebie. :whistle:

It didn't take me long to find the website and I don't even have a copy. You did.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I bought the book when they did the indiegogo campaign and for a while people had to buy via PayPal so I wasn't sure what the proper procedure was. Considering I specifically stated that I was looking to buy another copy, I think there's little ambiguity in what I meant.

Here's a pretty good interview with Geoff Ogilvy in Golf Digest:

http://www.golfdigest.com/magazine/2014-12/my-shot-geoff-ogilvy

I'll quote the interesting, relevant bit:

PETER FOWLER, an outstanding Australian golfer who now plays the European Senior Tour, phoned the great Peter Thomson for advice in the early 1980s. Fowler was struggling to break through, and he asked Thomson, a five-time British Open champion, if he had any insight on what to do to get better. With barely a pause, Thomson said, "Shoot lower scores," and hung up. Fowler was crestfallen at first, but then he started to see the genius in the great Thomson's words. It was as if Thomson were saying, "There's a ball and a hole. Stop getting in your own way. Stop making it so hard. Get on with it. Just do better."

    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
