Back when I was still playing I noticed a woman of about age playing alone. One day when I was playing alone I encountered her on the second tee and asked if she'd like to join me and she did. We had a nice time. It made me think that, for whatever reason, she didn't have anyone to play with, and no one asked her to join their group, out on the course. It made me a little sad for her. -
Day 11 Played 9 today. Focused more on grip, setup, and putting than anything, but still ended up 3 putting every hole but the first which was a 4 putt. Trying to get into a 3 ft circle with my first putt, which I'm pretty consistent at, but getting the second one to drop isnt clicking. Either came up an inch short or lipped out. Everything is improving, I had a legitimate chance at par or birdie on all but the last hole which I found the water. But seeing improvement either way. -
Day 430 Solid work in the traps. From barely visible buried ones to some gently resting almost flat in shallow dusty grit. Not all shots were perfect and quite a few said in their own way "Try Again" End result was 1/2 hour of work in this area with what I would call a 75-80% success rate -
I have the Callaway Diablo in the 3H-4H-5H. I bought them new at Dick’s about 10 years ago. They have the A flex shaft that I had shortened by 1”. I will keep them until they are totally destroyed. They have helped my game more than any club in the bag. I actually think I could play a complete round with these three clubs and a putter. -
What constitutes practice? I work from home and am in charge of my own schedule which leaves me plenty of time throughout the day for "activities". The city offered a membership to 4 of the local courses for $65 a month, unlimited play so I picked it up. Right now I'm playing 9 four days a week and 18 once a week. While I'm definitely seeing improvement, especially when it comes to club selection and judging distance, there are areas where I'm still struggling. I tend the view the 9 hole days as practice rounds, but should I be doing other things as well? I'm pretty consistent at being on or within about 5 to 10 yards off the green for my 3rd shot on a par 4. But 95% of the time I'm 3 putting and ending up double bogey by inches. I work on putting around the house, but it's a totally different beast on the course. And I've seen huge improvements from when I started till now so I do feel that playing everyday during the week is helping, but instead should I go spend an hour or so on a practice green? Thanks in advance!
