Went to the short game area again. Worked on really getting my Distance Wedge keys in. A good sign was I was hitting them very flighted with a shallow divot. Also, the swing felt very effortless for the distance. Then I worked on some pitching as well.

I asked Mike about that last week. He said "Going through the swing or what I'm working on very slowly."

Almost missed today, woke up late. Too much of touring NYC, I guess. Practiced some slow hip turns, then shortening the swing.

Took a lesson yesterday so had plenty to work on today. Primarily focused on keeping the club from getting inside on the takeaway. It's a move I've struggled with since I started this game. Hit 30 balls and then played 21 chipping and putting.

Practice my priority pieces with a tripod and a driveway stick. Was surprised to see myself automatically doing the first priority piece without thinking about it.

Played 9 holes.

Tee Shots: B, maybe only a two solid drives, but the misses were acceptable.

Approach Shots: Terrible. Never really felt comfortable over the ball in my set up. Still struggling to get that right side downswing piece right with the irons. Downswing feels rushed and fast.

Distance Wedges: My practice didn't translate to the course. I didn't do my downswing piece enough.

Pitching: Much much better. I am feeling really comfortable around the greens.

Putting: Much better. Stopped taking so long over the short putts and it helped out.

Best shot of the night: Last drive of the night. Hit a straight shot that faded maybe 5 yards. I finally felt the difference between what I was doing and what I need to do. I just need to do it more often.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
