Day 74:

Worked on priority piece, full swing for about an hour this evening after dinner. Really need to exaggerate “hitting to right field feel” more than I think to produce slight push draw ball flight.

Day 171 - Warmed up with some pitching before working on my priority piece. Might make this a new habit, if I can find some better ways to work on chipping/pitching indoors.

Day 76:

Only had time for indoor putting (bead work) today before taking kids to swim team practice. Might get some full swing work in afterward, depending on how much light is left in the day when get home.

Work downtown before lessons. It has to feel really exaggerated.

Day 57 (28 Jun 24) - Played weekly men's group scramble at Minnesott.  Managed a solid 85 (42 front/43 back) - which means no real blow ups.  Well the have to punch out of the woods and lost ball in the pond on the par 5 16th resulted in a dbl bogie, but still a good round.  It was the only dbl of the round.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 186 (04 Nov 24) -  More tempo work today (6i into the net)….did notice that the more I “thought” about it, the less solid the strike.  Side bar - thinking it might be time for a new target flag (the hole 1st appeared Thurs and has now grown to look rather “scowled in appearance”):   Finished up with sone bump and runs with the 6i in the backyard…

      2-man Ambrose V 1-man Playing Best of 2 Balls

      By iacas ·

      Four shots? And if one of them is good, do you really keep hitting more? Even if you hit all four, since it's basically a four-person scramble… but even better since you can learn directly from previous shots, that's gonna be like 120 full swings. I'd go pretty high in the handicap range against a Tour player (assuming it's a typical 7000 yard course or shorter) given four attempts.

      Tour Stats

      By GolfLug ·

      Sorry, what has this to do with 'Tour stats'? If the idea is that you have to be a PGA Tour pro level short game to shoot low 70s driving it 160ish, then you may be overestimating the difficulty in doing so playing super short tees as @iacas mentioned.  Obviously I don't know the course/courses your friend is taking about but we have quite a few super seniors (70+) at my home course who do just that from super short tees (5,400 yards). There's only one par 4 over 300 yards. Majority average 260ish. The two par 5s are less than 400 yards. From the short tees the margin of error in keeping the ball in play is super wide. Additionally they don't hit hard enough to hit big hooks and slices.  They don't 'throw darts' but instead run up the ball on the green or around it all day. Not terribly hard.

      2-man Ambrose V 1-man Playing Best of 2 Balls

      By DaveP043 ·

      This reminded me of a (fictional) book I read about a golf hustler.  One game he used was to play against a good player.  he'd play his own ball straight up, the other guy was allowed to play the best of 4 attempts, similar to your scenario, but with double the chances.  The other guy got ahead early, but was exhausted after 8 or 10 holes of hitting 4 drives, 4 approaches, etc., on every hole.  Again, this was fiction, but it has a ring of truth to it.  So in your scenario, I'd wonder whether a single player taking two attempts at each and every shot would get pretty fatigued before the end of the round.  With a little self-control, taking a second try only when there was real improvement available, he might do really well.
