Played at Longaberger This afternoon and shot an 85. First time there it is a beautiful course

I really hate playing slow and being in a twosome following two foursomes made for a very long round, just shy of 5 hours. All day it was hit, wait for about 5 minutes, hit wait... Could never quite get in a groove.

+6, 78.  Hit my woods bad on the front but my irons great for a +1 front nine.  Then on the back I hit my woods great and my irons terrible for a +5 back nine.

This round just showed me which one was more important in my game.

The most difficult distance in golf is the six inches between your ears.

39 last night on an easy course 69.3/119 but I played good. Only one duffed shot and just 12 putts. For once most everything went in the intended direction. Really played better than that, if not for two burned edges it could have been a 37.

played with friend and two of his buddies. I shot 86 which wasn't great but I have never been the best one in a group before. And my friend kept getting upset which affected me and then on the last hole we had an autistic boy run across the fairway right in front of me. I had to try and stop the swing (Im not Tiger) so hit it in a really bad spot which made it a triple boogie by time I got out of the trouble. Had a lot of good things happen though and that is what I always focus on now. Did realize just how much your playing partner can affect your game when they are angry. Live and learn I did..

Ended up shooting a 97 today. Started raining on the back 9. Was wet and hard to hit out of the rough. Played with my father who is 74 years old and shot a 95. Still hits a straight as a arrow 200 yard drive!

Shot an ugly 101 today. The course was a swamp, the rough needed mowing, and I played the front like it was my first time out on a course.

I'm definitely trying to incorporate too many swing changes too quickly; I was completely lost out there.

78 yesterday; first round with my new MP-64's (with no practice). Doubled 18 though, so I was a little disappointed at the end.

46 Front 40 Back. Started out +5, the short game was really killing me. I think i wasted about 4-5 shots around the green :(, though i made that up later on the back getting up and down about 4 out of 5 times.

Had some issue with slight pull draws, i think had 6 approach shots end up left of the green. Putting was good. Still need to work on swing path, getting that sweetspot coming from the inside.

Was on +11 over 11 holes, having my best round and then some horrendous storm comes in and we have to walk off . Gutted, but games coming along nicely and expecting to drop my handicap from 24 to around 17-18 soon!

Not bad after just 1 1/2 years I reckon

Shot a 95. 48 on the front, 47 on the back. Short game and driver killed me. Had 2 go OB which cost me 4 strokes on the back, and had 20 putts on the front (cut that to 15 on the back).

Also couldn't get my distances. I need to work on that...I was hitting my pitching wedge beautifully. I mean, straight at the pin...and nice easy half swing from just over 100 yards that was just flying 25 yards past the hole. Terrible.

91 on Saturday. 47 (again!!) on the front and a 44 on the back. I actually shot fairly well on the back except for that 9 I carded on the first par 5. A triple and two doubles on the front.

My wife said I can't go out to play today, so I shot her.

    • I enjoyed the distance wedges episode. It's something that I've not really taken the time to figure out for sure, but I went to a local trackman place over the winter and tested my four wedges (PW, AW, 54, 58) and got four yardages with each one. I am using Dan Grieve's method - you have a 1, 2, 3, and "full". The number references the number of clubhead widths between your heels.  I never really got to grips with the clock method - I'd find my 9:00 one day would go 40 yards and the next day 60 yards purely based on how fast I happened to swing it, but I couldn't turn that off and I was basically at sea with the speed method (Wesley Bryan does this - he takes almost a full swing for a 15 yard chip). The Grieve method I set my stance width and that really limits how much my swing moves back and forth and the speed seems to be naturally more consistent.  Anyway, I wound up with four yardages for each club - PW 48, 80, 112, 127; AW 41, 73, 101, 112; 54 36, 57, 91, 98; 58 28, 47, 81, 86 So, in order, I have 28, 36, 41, 47, 48, 57, 73, 80, 81, 86, 91, 98, 101, 112, 112, 127 which gives me a pretty good set of numbers. I do have a big gap from 57 to 73, but I can do a 2.5 58, which is giving me about 64. Then as they noted you can give it a bit more, or grip down on a club too to adjust a little bit. It's really useful and very freeing to just know what to do. When you have a 54 yard pitch, rather than pulling my 58 and thinking how hard is 54, I can just take my 54, do a "2" swing and just grip down a little and I'm in decent shape.  Incidentally, Erik talked a bit about watching Scheffler picking off his yardages to within a yard. I've watched DJ do that too with his wedges. Scottie does it trying to hit it all the way up to like 200 exactly with a 6-iron and he's hitting it 200.5, 199.7, etc. Absolutely mind blowing how good his distance control is. Insane.
