Humbly broke 80 for the first time with a score on the front of 5 over, and -1 on the back for a total of 76. Had 4 birdies on the back, with a couple of extraordinary shots. The back was somewhat fluke-ish, so the score isn't going to go too much to my head, but I do feel pretty happy right now :-). 

I just want to personally thank all you guys who run this site and everyone reading who contributes wisdom here. Special thanks to @iacas, @mvmac, @saevel25, @Golfingdad, @Ernest Jones, @boogielicious, @SavvySwede, and @Lihu. The 5keys, the drills, all the threads, and personal insights provided here are priceless.

Cool! Keep breaking 80! Well done.

Broke par (finally!) with 69 from the white tees at Wing Point Country Club on July 25. It's a par 71 course. One eagle, 4 birdies, 9 pars, and 4 bogeys. Finished birdie, birdie, par on #16-18.

You not only broke it, you obliterated it! Congrats! Your 90 badge is now an 80 badge!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Day 8: 12/17/2024 Okay I took my new PPJ swing thought to the range today. I wasn't sure I was quite ready to do so, but I'm glad I did.  When I got it right it was good... really good. When I got it wrong it was a major fail. I hit lots of really ugly ones. But I didn't let that deter me. I stayed committed and focused on the PPJ and I avoided any temptation to go back to what I was doing before just so that I could "look" better at the range. I'm pretty excited about what I saw when I got it right.  I hit the 6 iron mostly (nearly all block work today). I also hit about 6 balls each with the PW, 8I, 5W and Driver. Those had varying degrees of success. I did crack one drive that let me feel and see what the changes will look like once I get fully trained.  Anyway, I'm going to go back to the mirror work for a couple of more days before bringing it back to the range. I do feel like if I can get this right my swing will improve a lot. So I think its worth the effort. I liked the way it looked on GEARs when I get it right, and I like the results I got at the range when I got it right. Now the goal is to work towards getting it right more often.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      I'm sure you are correct.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By Ty_Webb ·

      So I think it's that they can't just bend the shaft or hosel to get it to a new lie angle. They adjust that and it changes the weighting, so they have to then adjust all the weights to get it balanced again. I get the impression that it's a bit of an iterative process and they do it all in the US, so they're paying US labor costs to build it and make it work how it's supposed to. Whether you believe in the tech or not, I think that's a true statement.

      Low Duck Hook Driver!

      By saevel25 ·

      Extremely outward path with a very closed club face. Maybe unless you have a stupidly weak grip, like right hand way over top, I don't think the grip is necessary highly correlated to this.
