Day 104 (26 Mar 24) - Played 9 hole best ball with church men’s group this afternoon with my grandson as my cart partner.  Was a fun round with a 7yr old I tow….talk about contagious energy and enthusiasm.  Good round to focus on ball striking and not worry so much about anything else…

Day 32: 3/26/2024

The only thing I got done today was my overspeed training. ... Hopefully tomorrow will be better. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 12. @iacas gave me permission to swing fast. So I did. Also practiced with a longer iron a bit but could not go fast with that haha. Finished with some chipping, took a couple to reign the adrenaline in and hit some softer chips. But I was able to and am pretty pumped about that

      Padraig Harrington FIG Round

      By Ty_Webb ·

      I think that's the same sort of issue though. Changing your game plan because you're playing well is not, generally speaking, a good idea. Playing a game to get you used to having a good score will (hopefully) help you learn to handle that situation better. So maybe next time you're playing well, you'll keep doing what you were doing. When I was about 19-21, I would play many times and find myself about even through 11 or 12 holes. Then I'd fritter a few shots away due to silly mistakes and end up shooting 4 or 5 over for the round. I did that a LOT. Then one day I didn't do that - I was even or so through 11 and wound up shooting -2 for the round. After I did that, I did it a lot more. I was probably improving somewhat over that period because I was playing a lot, but my mindset definitely improved as a result of that one round. It was like mentally I bucketed myself as a mid-70s shooter, so that's what I shot. Then after that one round I could break that down and mentally became a high 60s to low 70s shooter (on my good days at least). That was quite a freeing feeling. I do wonder if I'd have got better faster if I'd heard of the ideas to play front tees or the FIG round that Padraig talks about here.

      2024 TST Outing - June 1/2 @ EagleSticks and Virtues

      On second thought, it’s 16.7. Lock it in, @StuM! 😜 I’ll send you my index when it gets closer.

      By billchao ·

      I’m sure others will play some rounds in between, too. I’m only joking about myself though. My index can only go down in the next five rounds. I’m expecting to play at least five rounds before this outing.

      2024 TST Outing - June 1/2 @ EagleSticks and Virtues

      By klineka ·

      Yeah I think it's probably best to set a date closer to the event and lock the handicaps.  Maybe like EOD on the 27th or 29th or something.  I know myself personally I'll play at least 3 rounds if not more between now and that weekend.
