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.

Shot a 40 today. Just focusing on priority stuff. Took me like 4 holes to remember I can bring my arms down in the swing. 🤣

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)

Played 2 different courses on The St Lawrence River last few days shot a 41 on Friday and a 39 yesterday.  

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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 152 1-12 More reps bowing wrists in downswing. Still pausing at the top. Making sure to get to lead side and getting the ball to go left. Slow progress is better than no progress.

      Yea, if I were to make a post arguing against the heat map concept, citing some recent robot testing would be my first point. The heat map concept is what I find interesting, more on that below. The robot testing I have looked at, including the one you linked, do discreet point testing then provide that discrete data in various forms. Which as you said is old as the hills, if you know of any other heat map concept type testing, I would be interested in links to that though! No, and I did say in my first post "if this heat map data is valid and reliable" meaning I have my reservations as well. Heck beyond reservations. I have some fairly strong suspicions there are flaws. But all I have are hunches and guesses, if anyone has data to share, I would be interested to see it.  My background is I quit golfing about 9 years ago and have been toying with the idea of returning. So far that has been limited to a dozen range sessions in late Summer through Fall when the range closed. Then primarily hitting foam balls indoors using a swing speed monitor as feedback. Between the range closing and the snow flying I did buy an R10 and hit a few balls into a backyard net. The heat map concept is a graphical representation of efficiency (smash factor) loss mapped onto the face of the club. As I understand it to make the representation agnostic to swing speed or other golfer specific swing characteristics. It is more a graphical tool not a data tool. The areas are labeled numerically in discrete 1% increments while the raw data is changing at ~0.0017%/mm and these changes are represented as subtle changes in color across those discrete areas. The only data we care about in terms of the heat map is the 1.3 to 1.24 SF loss and where was the strike location on the face - 16mm heal and 5mm low. From the video the SF loss is 4.6% looking up 16mm heal and 5mm low on the heat map it is on the edge of where the map changes from 3% loss to 4%. For that data point in the video, 16mm heal, 5mm low, 71.3 mph swing speed (reference was 71.4 mph), the distance loss was 7.2% or 9 yards, 125 reference distance down to 116. However, distance loss is not part of a heat map discussion. Distance loss will be specific to the golfers swing characteristics not the club. What I was trying to convey was that I do not have enough information to determine good or bad. Are the two systems referencing strike location the same? How accurate are the two systems in measuring even if they are referencing from the same location? What variation might have been introduced by the club delivery on the shot I picked vs the reference set of shots? However, based on the data I do have and making some assumptions and guesses the results seem ok, within reason, a good place to start from and possibly refine. I do not see what is wrong with 70mph 7 iron, although that is one of my other areas of questioning. The title of the video has slow swing speed in all caps, and it seems like the videos I watch define 7i slow, medium, and fast as 70, 80, and 90. The whole question of mid iron swing speed and the implications for a players game and equipment choices is of interest to me as (according to my swing speed meter) over my ~decade break I lost 30mph swing speed on mine.

      New Maxfli Forged Irons - $800!

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      Maxfli, Maltby, Golfworks, all under the Dicks/Golf Galaxy umbrella... it's all a bit confounding. Looking at the pictures, they all look very, very similar in their design. I suspect they're the same club, manufactured in the same factory in China, just with different badging.  The whacky pricing structure has soured me, so I'll just cool my heels a bit. The new Mizuno's will be available to test very soon. I'm in no rush.
