Recommended Posts

Shitty again, played horrible in the club champ and got myself a DNF. Played the front 9 after and shot 40. I dont know whats going on, I guess i just cant play tournaments.

shot a 82 yesterday, kinda happy but got off to a slow start 45-37. tee to green was great but my short game wasn't there for me to get into the 70's(34 putts 3/10 up and down). all in alli'm happy after coming off a pretty bad month where my 4 rounds were 84,98,93,92. so i guess i'm happy i spent some extra time at the range. now i need to get my handicapp down. whats an average handicapp for someone who shoots in the low 80's?

shot a 49. started off birdie, par... then went downhill. Really messed up on 3 and 4 but overall pretty happy. My second time out after a four year hiatus and I never shot better than 90 before that so i can't complain.

43-43=86 yesterday. Just too many mistakes. 4th round in a row I'm chunking my 8i. I guess I'm dipping my shoulder, but have no idea why, OR how to correct it......it's very frusterating to say the least!

Shot 77 on Saturday and 77 on Sunday. Not very happy with either round. Blocked a bunch of tee shots well to the right and took a good score out of question on those holes. I played well when I cleared through the ball and ripped it down the fairway.

Also frustrated with my luck with the putter. Just for an idea of what I was facing, I had one birdie putt from 3 feet that fell into the hole, hit the top edge of the cup(the actual little white cup inside the hole) and bounced back out of the hole right back at me. Then the very next hole I had a par putt roll all the way around the hole basically down inside of it and pop back out towards me.

I've never been so close to throwing a club in my life.

47. Just one of those days that I bled slowly to death on. The wheels didn't entirely fall off, but I was just bad all over today. Ugh. Duck-hooked my drives, bad ballstriking (sprayed my irons), and putting was in general a let-down. The heat didn't really help - 95 and extremely humid. 19 putts, 3/7 fairways, 3/9 greens. Two lost balls (one in the woods, one in the water).

I didn't keep score. I worked on my game and it came around nicely. Low hands at address and takeaway. Duh.

Didn't bother keeping score today, played a quick 9 after work...1 hr 15 minutes. Worked on fairway shots & putting, was absolutley dreadful with the chipping. Did manage 1 birdie on the final par 5 to go along with the par on a par 3.

47, only played 9 today...took a 7 on a Par5, and then turned right around with a 5 on a Par3 (sad thing is I hit a great Tee shot that hit below the pin 5ft or so and rolled back off the green, I then proceeded to look like I never held a PW before , chunked 2 balls that went roughly 3 ft on both shots and walked away with a 5.... ) 2 ft off the green on a Tee shot and walk away with a 5.....

Par on 1 hole & Bogey on the rest....


i had nightmare on the course yesterday!
Started off shooting a +4 40 on the front nine, i was pleased with 5 pars anyway (holed some nice 10 footers and swinging well).. after a short break and something to eat we started the back nine and what can i say, my game completely fell apart! standing on the 10th tee it felt like id never hit a shot before in my life and my (usually reliable) swing had deserted me, i was scoring bogeys all over the place and came in with a 50 carding only 1 par. so 90 for the day, so dissapointing... but i was pleased with my play on the front nine


sunday i shot 45 on a par 37 9 hole - never hit the ball so well. monday i go play same course - 57 on the same course!!! amazing how one day you can hit every club in your bag - the next day completely fall apart....

Keep working at it. You'll get there. Work on pre-shot routine. Stay in the present.

I just got a new 3-wood and a couple of hybrids to replace my ancient fairway woods (got them in Jr. High) and also picked up a sand wedge (which I've never had before), so I was eager to try them out. I took them out to a local track this morning and proceeded to shoot my worst 9 holes of the year (55), followed by the best 9 of my life (39). I hit for the cycle on the first four holes (triple-bogey, bogey, double-bogey, quadruple-bogey), and took a 10 on the ninth (par 5).

I don't feel like I played spectacularly on the back. I knew I was doing better than the front, but I didn't know how well until I added up the scores afterwards. I three-putted 10 and 11 after hitting both greens, so that's two easy shots I left on the course. I suppose that either a) I was getting more used to the new clubs, particularly the SW or b) after the front nine I didn't care what I shot anymore, and so I relaxed. It was probably some combination of the two.

This is why I keep playing the game, frustrating as it may be.

    • Yeah I've been trying to weaken that hand (at the time I was also consciously trying to match clubface to spine)   I've found though weakening that hand kind of exacerbates the hook, I'm guessing a compensation from somewhere else creeps in 🤷🏻‍♂️   I've mentioned in my grip post that when I take my grip at address it is square, but if I stand up out of address and relax my arms it holds the hell out of the club, I have a lesson Tuesday hopefully to help but I just can't fathom why soft arms would hood the club, I would of thought it would open it 🤣
    • Day 6 - Full iron swings; focus was backswing speed and whipping my hands at the ball at impact. 
    • Day 258: did a stack session. 
    • Day 2 (4 Apr 25) - played in the weekly men’s group shootout.  Decent day off the tee and most longer approaches.  Wedges from 70-80 out were off, but green side work was good. Overall a fun day with the crew.  
    • $50??? You're not serious, I'm sure. The only thing a $50 driver will be good for is to whip your horse  as you're rounding the far turn heading into the home stretch. Seriously, go to a big box store. They all have used clubs up the wazoo and you should be able to find clubs at a reasonable price. Also, talk to the guys there. You'll be able to tell just by conversing with them which ones are interested in helping you and will provide good advise. Those companies are usually pretty good about weeding out the bad apples who are only interested in making a quick sale. The commission the big box stores pay is so miniscucle anyway that sales guys are usually brand agnostic.
