I want to beat my golf bud Jim at least once!

I hope to get some good scores under 90.

Well I did it!  I have accomplished my goals for the year.

I have shot 8 rounds in the 80's and I finally beat my buddy!  What a season and I cant wait for next season!

I was just reading a few articles about Jack Nicklaus. In one, he just turned 75 years old and was lamenting that the day he could not score below 75 would be the day he would stop playing altogether,

Thanks!  I thought it was cool to accomplish both goals in one year.  My buddy is not too happy as he has been golfing for 30+ years.  He even mentioned me giving him strokes next time!  :hmm:

It was pretty cool to make a goal and then go update it.  Looks like I have to start thinking of some goals for next year!

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
