Shot a 44. Mix of too many bad with too little good shots. Short game failed me today. The punch shot game was solid.

Played (alone) today, a new-to-me course.  Literally alone, no one else in the group.  I shot an 81.  I'll get the data up to ShotScope tomorrow.  I feel I putted well.  No penalties, only one six (bogey on the opening hole, a par-5) and only one double bogey (par-3 14th;  hit a baked bunker after a really poor tee shot, hit out to basically nowhere, three putts).  17 GIRP.

Been playing well lately (sad season here in colorado is almost over).

 

Last 3 rounds have been: -1,  even and -1 again.

 A late season grip change has been my most important for this improvement (my trail hand grip become too strong over time and was hooking everything)

Been playing Volvek balls lately at 82 yrs old it's really helped distance off the tee Friday averaged 217 and yesterday 226.

Thrill of the day : couple of long putts a 42 footer for a Bird and a 28 footer to save par .Love Fall golf along the St Larry

39, +4.

A bit better hip slide stuff. More lateral, less turn with the hips.

47 + 47 for a 94

either hit some amazing shots or just terrible. Couldn’t get driver like 60ft off the ground 🤣. I stubbornly just kept hitting driver. You know, I wanted to hit a good one. I had like 7 shots enter a hazard. I hit some of the best iron shots in a long time. Just a strange day.

48+47 for a 95.  I can only blame so much on the greens being aerated, although that was part of it.  My driving was fantastic (one poor drive, but several fantastic drives).  My approach shots were a blend -- I think I picked good targets, but I hit six different bunkers;  two of the shots I left in the bunker, plus another I hit out into water.   So I guess my approach can't be described as great with that outcome (the hitting into sand).  I can only blame so much on some of the bunkers not having sand in them.   I can't really remember when, prior to today, I hit more than two bunkers in a round.   For what it's worth, three of the approach shots into bunkers were the result of hitting far past where I thought my approach was going to go (I thought those bunkers weren't in my expected result due to being too far from where I was hitting).   

I'll go back to the course next week when the greens are back, and hopefully I avoid the sand this time.

Today was a good day. Shot my best score yet however I managed to fumble and fail my goal of breaking 80.

Conditions were very wet and sloppy with very soft, soggy, mushy ground. Most balls plugged or only ended up a few feet past where there they landed because the ground was so soft and wet. However, something clicked today.
Broke my previous record of 84 and shot an 80 today. I also had 3 putts stop 1 inch short of the hole which was pretty frustrating since all I needed was 1 stroke to break 80 today haha. Oh well, I am extremely happy and had a blast!

Context:  while I have been practicing when I can, I have missed enough days that I'm not recording it for the "5 minutes daily challenge" until I believe I have the time to practice daily again.

Played Navy, from the white tees  (71.1/125/6463).  Shot an 86;  as I type this, my trend index is 14.5, so that's a good score for now.

Can you tell I've practiced primarily full swing?  SG in the three areas other than putting all beat the 5-handicap mark today.  I don't recall the last time I had such a great outing.  10 GIR helps, with three additional "hit the green on a full shot after having to play positionally on a previous one."  And on two of the near-GIR, I chipped one to about 10' and another to 4', which probably helped SG:SG score quite a bit (as did having so few short game shots).  18 GIRPs.

And yes, I know what I've been neglecting in practice :-)  Don't worry, I know what I need to do... I just need to do that.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      It sucks to carry around a lot of water, but ideally it should be way more than we think.  I buy those gallon jugs of water and hang them from my pushcart when I walk. I agree with the electrolytes as well. You don't just sweat out water, but you lose electrolytes as well.

      Workout Before or After Playing a Round of Golf (2022)

      By WUTiger · Posted

      A 2010 study from the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research compares the effects of different pre-round stretch routines for competitive golfers. Active Dynamic Warm-up: Swing Medicus driver, hit 3 shots each with selected clubs. Passive Static Stretches: Various athletic stretches such as hamstrings, chest stretch and reverse trunk twist. The subjects were collegiate golfers with a HDCP index of 5 or less who engaged regularly in strength and fitness routines. All golfers had two test days: one with active dynamic (AD) warmup, a second with AD followed by static stretches (SS). The results were then compared, within golfers and across golfers. For performance testing after the warmups, golfers hit three driver shots at time 0, 15, 30 and 45 minutes after the warmup. The study shows that static stretch formats produced poorer performance outcomes in the four measures shown in Table 5, which shows Time Zero results. The performance deficits under the PSS protocol decreased over time. Some suggestions on why the passive protocol was tied to lower performance than the active protocol: The passive stretches routine induced excessive range of motion,  basically producing wobbles in the golf swing. Other research indicates that the stretching produced slack in the tendons, lessening the amount of muscle force that could be transferred into the shot. One caveat: The study had good scientific controls and balancing of treatments (test routines). This was, however, an exploratory study and raises as many questions as it answers. Also, although the study was done back in 2010, it is still cited as a primary work in recent reviews. A quick online search did not reveal any follow-ups on the study. For those interested, the study PDF is below. PassiveStretchGOLF.pdf

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.

      Puerto Vallarta Vacation / Vidanta

      By Mystique · Posted

      Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
