Day 126 (05 Sep 24) - walked the front nine at home course with the “vintage set” (Toney Penna persimmon 1-3-5 woods, MacGregor Mike Souchak 4-9 irons along with. MacGregor Dbl Duty wedge, Spalding KroFlite SW, Spalding Tournament putter).  Played from my regular tees and managed a +7 43.  Key to the day was focused course management and remembering just how small the sweet spot is on all these clubs….love the challenge and dig the rewards of playing these clubs.

Day 7: September 5th, 2024

Got to the range again today. Spent a bunch of time working on where and not how. 

I even played the game in which you try to hit the different distances with the random number generator. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 237 - Got some really good setup/backswing work in.
 

It’s amazing how big of a difference filming yourself can make. I saw some footage of my driver swing from this past weekend; it’s a miracle I can even reach the ball with how far away I was standing. So I worked on that and some good feels for a full backswing.

Now I just need to take that to the course this weekend for the club championship…

Day 8: September 6, 2024

Was at the range today. Didn't have a great practice. Everything "felt" off. 

Got home and spent a long time in front of the mirrors trying to figure out what's not right.

Day 127 (06 Sep 24) - weekly men’s Friday round, except I kept the ole woods and irons from the day before in play.  Generated some buzz as several reminisced on when they started, others just said I was crazy,  best part, the round was pretty solid in terms of score as I pretty much played the lofts for how far a club would go and not worry about the number on the bottom of the club.

    • With the putts, are they coming up short of the hole? Or just missing low side, but going 10-15 inches past the hole? Generally speaking I think long putting is about speed control, while short putting is more about start line. Both matter to both types obviously, but I think that's where the more weight lives. If you're struggling on short putts but not long ones, I'd imagine that's more likely a starting line issue. Might be read or might be aim or might be stroke. If you're leaving the short ones short of the hole, then hit them harder. You don't want to be accelerating into impact. Just make sure your back swing is long enough for the speed you're hitting it. For the wedges, I'll be interested to hear what people say because I have similar issues sometimes. Last fall, hit a good drive on a fairly short par 4. Had 60 yards in. Hit my second. Then had 50 yards in because I laid the sod over it. Then I had 40 yards back from the other side because I over corrected and bladed it over the green. Happens to the best of us 🙂 
    • Wanted to get some thoughts on struggles I've been having with my game.  1. Short putts - I'm a pretty good lag putter but when I get closer (10 feet and in) the ball just seems to come off dead, quickly trail off and miss on the low side. I feel like it's just a lack of acceleration causing the miss but wanted to see if it could possibly be something else. If it is an acceleration issue, any drills to help with this?  2.  Partial Wedges (50 - 85 yards) - Any time I don't have a full wedge shot I struggle to make solid contact. 85% of my misses is the dreaded skull that barely gets a foot off the ground. The other 15% of my misses I'm laying the sod over the ball and it goes no where. Even when I practice these shots on the range, I'll hit some decent then the thin shot seems to come out of nowhere. Then I focus on staying down through the ball and hit one heavy. I do go through times where I hit these shots decent but I never have been able to get rid of these misses. I'm at a point of analysis paralysis and just need some thoughts on what to do to get these shots back on track. 
    • Good Afternoon, I recently interviewed 1991 Open Champion and all time putting great/guru, Ian Baker Finch.  Ian provided an amazing amount of good info.  A tremendous amount of valuable putting insight for golfers of all levels! Tiger is the GOAT! His thoughts on Greg Norman and LIV. What's wrong with Jordan Spieth's putting. Putting cost Adam Scott more majors. The yips cost Tom Watson the Open in 2009. Time for LIV players and Tour players to unite, let bygones be bygones.   Enjoy!  All done in the interest of fighting cancer!! Chris O'Gorman

    • I wondered about that and decided that it looks like the fairway turns right out in the distance. I am not sure how far down his ball ended up, but it might be that it went far enough that it is still in the left side of the fairway. Having said that, it seems like pretty much everything else in the video is bunk, so quite possible that is too.
