My target was to get down from 18 to 15. Did this very quickly, and in fact got down to 15, only to go back up to 16. Although I reached my target, I have now hit a wall. I can only think there is something wrong with all my balls

My 2018 goals for golf were as follows:

  • Keep my back healthy by continuing to perform strengthening exercises
    • I was OK until I started planning to move in August and wrenched my back - lost 4 weeks 
  • Improve the accuracy of my short irons and wedges by eliminating my many fat shots and practicing on grass ranges without a mat
    • Somewhat better but fat is still my miss
  • Practice more than once per week by stopping at the range on the way home from work for 20-30 minutes
    • Did not happen
  • Play at least 25 18 hole rounds and have the ability to post at least 15 of them which may require traveling farther than my home course to play with friends and relatives - this will be the most challenging goal since my window for golf is limited
    • i played about 20 rounds with 10 rounds with other people that I could post for my handicap. 
  • Lower my 17.5 handicap by one full point
    • Got down to 16.3
  • Semi or fully retire Fall of 2018 so I can have grander expectations for 2019 
    • I semi retired in April of 2018
  • Play more than four times with my grandson - his schedule is worse than mine with baseball, soccer, and school activities
    • Did achieve this but will be difficult in 2019 since I have moved

    • Day 21 - 2026-01-10 More mirror work focused on hip. 
    • I appreciate that you have taken the time to come back and update. Based on what was previously discussed I feel like the points were; forged, feel good, price, and possibly players distance. If you like the "looks" of those Maxfli irons and if price is a major point, then going straight to the source, Maltby, might make sense. Specifically, the TS3 iron. I was looking into this myself and found some reviews: Fit2YouGolf, Lets Play Thru, and ELITE FIT GOLF. As per your update I found the Maxfli to be ~$1300 fitted the way I wanted. Where the TS3 with the same fitting and assembled by Golfworks was less than $750. I suppose the downside is to actually hit the iron you will need to get lucky and find someone in your golf circle who will let you hit theirs or order a 6 or 7 iron to test. However, the way I look at that is being equivalent to some fittings. If you like the results and buy, then the fitting is free, otherwise the price of the fitting is a sunk cost. If name brand is important, then I submit for your consideration - THE BEST OVERALL IRON of 2024...... FACT !! 😉 A bit tongue in cheek that but also, I feel some good points were discussed.  
    • Day 150 1-10 focus on arching the wrist and getting the ball to go left. Recorded, hit foam balls. 
    • Day 467 - 2026-01-10 Practiced at Pinehurst every day I was there, and before Junior Elite this morning I got fifteen minutes of backswing checks in the mirror in.
