Day 6:

Played 18, solid round until I tripled  #13 and doubled  #14, but recovered to par out on the way in with 4 straight GIR with very makeable birdie putts.

@DaHolla I hope to get to full swing one day.  I'm told I am just doing under half swing, when I try full swing I just hit the ground and miss the ball and look silly.

Day 93 (3 Aug 24) - Late afternoon session with 8i and hard foam balls - focused on the setup, especially the grip.  Noticed more of a push in shots lately.  First few shots where heavy, got settled and by end of session much better contact and shot shape.  Love these return to basics type drills.

Day 9:  Played 9 and beat my best by 6!  44 on a par 33, not bad for about 4 months of playing.  

I may not hit the ball far, but at least I find all of the pretty flowers.

Day 225: 8/4/24

Range work in preparation for a tournament this weekend in which my partner and I are two-time defending champions. Been battling tennis elbow and shanked way too many this afternoon. Finished with putting practice and putted well for me.

Day 10:  Had an hour long practice playing three holes.  Got some good pointers and practice using my 3w and 5h.  I was then able to finish the rest of the front nine but I didn’t keep score.  

I may not hit the ball far, but at least I find all of the pretty flowers.

      Best Budget Golf Ball

      By iacas ·

      Under $20 is pretty… inexpensive. I don't know that it really matters a ton at that level. Even the Snell 2.0 is regularly $24.99 (but you can get it for $19.99). I'd probably go that route, but… I don't know what else is out there. I don't mind the Callaway SuperSoft… 😉  PRIME 2.0 golf ball Urethane for ALL! PRIME 2.0 is our NEW 2-piece urethane cover ball designed for low to mid-swing speed players. Our latest high-speed core helps players get the needed spin and higher trajectory for a longer...

      Day 137 (16 Sep 24) - Rain (another one of those tropical things rolled in south of here…worked on what I like to call “dink and roll” using an 8i in the bedroom (have about 15’ of distance) - hitting little chips (flying about 6-8’) and rolling out to auto return putting cup.  This drill replicates just off the green drills where it’s too tall to putt and you only need it to roll a short way.

      Best Budget Golf Ball

      Hi, I am looking for a good all around 2 or 3 piece golf ball at under $20/dz. My swing speed is over 90 and I hit my 8 iron around 150. I am a feel player so something not too hard or too soft would be ideal. Thank you
