Birdied 16, missed a 2 1/2 foot slider for birdie on 17 and then hit 2 balls in the water on 18 for a 79. 3rd consecutive day of a 5 day in a row stretch. I will be taking a few days off next week. Good news is, I am striking the ball better than I ever have. I love this game.

Its a huge hit to my confidence so I'll be taking at least a few days off now

Scrambled my ass off for a 40 for nine holes. Everything worked except my driving (I found myself in the wrong fairway twice, in the trees three times...) and I couldn't sink a putt. Could have been under par, easily, the more I think about it.

Would have, could have, should have.

Shot 94 at Eagle's Nest in Myrtle Beach, real hard to shoot good rounds when you are hitting recovery shots every other hole.

Last night, I shot 44 (8 over). Still not getting off the tee and putting was atrocious (blasting them by). Still early I guess. Lots of work to do.

Shot 78 in a tournament team Match Play event. I beat my opponent 2 & 1 after having to give 3 strokes. Also won the team 2 up by paring the last 2 holes after going OB on 16. Shot even on the back (my front) but leaked oil coming home. Felt prett good as I shot consecutive rounds in the 70s this week

Well i played wit sum buddies yesterday but cudnt finish before I had to go to work. I went out this morning about 9:30 and finished that round at my home course and shot my lowest round this year with an 82 (41 on back, and 41 on the front) I still wasn't happy though because I doubled the 8th, and bogeyed 9. Then I played in a youth tournament at a course I had never played at and posted a mediocre 87. (45 on front and 42 on back) I tripled 18...

Played my first 18 hole round yesterday.
Shot a crummy 91 (45/46) with 30 total putts and zero 3 putts.
Could not get off the tee (with either driver) which put me into some bad situations/places. Ended up resorting to hitting the 3 wood off the tee. Time to stay off the course for a few days and hit the range.

Shot a 6 over today, hit my irons really well and my driver but my putter was iffy. I missed a few 6 footers and I didn't hole any puts of distance. Fairly happy and it was great weather.

I've been golfing for about 3 months haha, and yesterday I hit a 58 on a nine hole (without cheating in any sort) haha I know you don't have to tell me... I suck.

    • Only two things I'd worry about a little right now (though this is without seeing face-on views… you know better!) Stop extending the right knee so much. Hands have to move a bit more aggressively "away" (from the target and ball), perhaps with some forearm twisting clockwise from your POV, to start the downswing.
    • I haven’t posted a video in quite a while (or practiced for that matter) due to some health issues. I was able to get a couple of down-the-line videos today at the range. Still have a bit of the same issues, but it’s playable while I work on the swing. I apologize for the construction noise. I do notice my rehearsal swing has higher hands than my final swing. I’ll try to get some face on swings at my home setup in the near future.    
    • Golfers want consistency. It begins with consistency of: recording your swing often putting the camera in the same place with the same angles, height, etc. focusing on one thing when you do look at the camera
    • A good video on why measuring your swing, like with a GEARS system, is key to really figuring out what is going on in the swing.  One thing I didn't know, or didn't put two and two together, that the lens on your camera can impact how you view your swing using video. The part where they show the swing stopped, all three images are the same position of the same swing, but with different lenses on the camera shocked me a bit.  If you are going to use a camera, just realize it has limitations, and the importance to use the same camera with the same camera set up as much as possible for consistency. 
    • Thanks. I hope I do but I think I'm going to get stuck at 98 as two of the remainder tracks are notoriously difficult get on.   I have Turnberry, Troon, Skibo Castle, Ardfin and Crail Craighead left. I have a round at Turnberry booked in for later this year. Troon is accessible but the green fee is extortionate (compared to what we are used to) so I may go for that in 2027. Crail Craighead is easy enough through member guest sign on's so won't be an issue.  Skibo Castle is a private, exclusive members club who do not allow guests at all full stop. You have to know a member, who are very rare and secretive (often celebrities, like Harry Styles or other worldwide business types for example, who are supposedly members). So it is basically impossible and I am likely to be stuck with this one. Ardfin whilst bookable for the average joe - is bordering on extortion and I'm not sure I'll ever be able to afford it. You have to stay over at their 'hotel' and you have to book it out for X amount of people for at least two days and it costs upwards of 15-20k. Even if you divide that by say 12 players it's still far too much money unfortunately. With a bit of luck at somepoint in the future they may introduce a day rate, they had one a few years ago for 500 (GBP).  Fingers crossed however. I managed to get on the exclusive Loch Lomond easier than I thought it would be!
