  1. I was B-Fit for Bridgestone B 330S golf balls. 1. Rickie Fowler -8 2. Matt Kuchar -7 3. Keegan Bradley -7
  2. So to wrap things up. I played two rounds today. Dropped my handicap to 9.6 so I achieved my goal. Now close the thread
  3. I'll be at the range all day today. Soooo yeah. Well Eric I know you don't like me and that's fine. I guess with all the good and that bad I've got from this site I can't say it was a waste of time. But I learned a lot and I'll take what I've learned and leave. Thank you for all those who have great advice and @mvmac for the lesson. I really appreciated everything Except the sarcasm and harsh criticism.
  4. I don't see why it matters what the thread is called. It's been around for a bit and has enough posts where the title is irrelevant because people know what's here. Either day I see it bothers some people so I think I'll just limit myself to my swing thread and reviewing this thread for info
  5. Hahahaha yeah I was doing great off the tee and swung to hard on a par 5 with red staked right side and pushed it just enough to go in the hazard. Still made bogey tho haha and same with the next except it was a pull. And the 3rd was water on my approach shot. But ya without those penalties it would be my first round in the 70's in years
  6. played a round after work today with some buddies. shot my lowest score since i started playing again back in september. i shot a 39-43 82. i hit 8/14 fairways 9/18 greens and 33 putts. but 3 penalty shots. i had back to back birdies on 3 and 4 and another on 10. i was pretty excited except i missed 4 putts under 5 feet for birdies. i stayed calm and didn't get crazy trying to kill the ball and i made much better contact. i'll be at the range tomorrow for awhile. should post a video on my swing thread too.
  7. Haha yes staying out would be best. Funny thing is. On champions #4 I aim for the creek because I either hit pushes or draws but on that hole it's always a perfect draw right in the crap. Good to know I can drop either side
  8. That's awesome. I never knew you have a choice as far as canals. I hope to play that course a lot more so thank you for the info. And wow I'm going to have a heck of a time typing yeah and not ya lol. That's a huge habit of mine
  9. Ya. I guess I'm not completely used to wind play. I'm afraid if I play the wind to much I'll end up way off haha.
  10. I also did think that lateral hazards were dropped from the last point of entry. Is this not the case
  11. the wind really was the main factor in most. Not all. But I had some great drives and the wind took them off course. For wind reference. I hit my 3 wood 260 normally. On one hole down wind. It's a 388 yard par 4 I hit my 3 wood in the green side bunker. Haha but I found my ball in the water on 10 and pulled it out with my putter. 2 I saw splash in the water in the canal. And the other was in the water on this par 5 which I also pulled out since it just rolled in lol.
  12. Sorry I guess I was just lumping all tee shots as OB on here. To be more specific I hit 2 OB and 4 lateral hazard. Sorry. I just said OB to kinda generalize which I realize is kinda dumb on my part. The first I hit OB was on a par 3 and I scored a 7 for that hole. The next was a par 4 which I scored a 7 on as well.
  13. money sent!!!!
  14. i think my swing is going back steep and causing me to come over the top again. i think range time and mirror work will help me work on stuff so mirror is what i'll be doing till friday haha
  15. well i had 8 at norman course and 6 yesterday haha so those were terrible. had 2 at yucaipa. my tee shots have gone crazy, but monday i hit 10/14 fairways lol just need to figure it out once i get everything else headed in the right direction lol
  16. Also a fun fact. For the month of April I've played 8 rounds. I average 32.75 putts per round 43% fairways 24% greens and average 3 penalty strokes a round.
  17. Thank you. Ya it seems like I do better on fast greens cuz I had 35 at Morongo and 35 at Yucaipa but 31 at Norman course
  18. The wind was pretty strong at times yesterday so I hit some good drives off the tee but with the canal and wind it was pretty tough so I lost about 6 off the tee. I loved the course tho and If you ever wanna join me out there let me know and same if you wanna come to Morongo [quote name="LittleBear" url="/t/71817/operation-single-digits-2014/840#post_983548"] That's an impressive putting statistic! Now that you have started tracking this a bit more, can you expand this a little. How many up and downs? How many pitches to within 10 feet? Did you have any 3-putts? Any chip ins? Considering you only hit 3 greens, I take it your short game is pretty good. I see there has been a lot of very [U]constructive[/U] criticism about your full swing, which I think a lot of us would appreciate, but would you class your short game as consistent? [/quote] My short game saves me a lot. All my chips were within 10 feet and probably within 7. I had 1 three putt. No chip ins. If my bunker play was better it might have knocked a stroke or 2 off. And I missed 3 putts within 6 feet so that needs some work. I had about 4 up and downs. Had 3 birdies but a triple and a quad. Yikes!!!
  19. so went out and played Terra Lago South Course today because my friend got us a good deal on the course. i didn't think about hitting draws or anything like that. i just went up and hit the ball. i didn't do amazing, but i didn't do bad. i had a lot of fun out there. i enjoyed the course (even though it was pretty windy) so i hit 6 shots off the tee that went OB, but i had some good shots too. i shot a 50-40 for a 90 with 5 fairways hit 3 greens and 30 putts. tomorrow i'll hit the range after work and continue my drills and work on my motions. I'm going to start separating playing and practicing so i expect my handicap to go up a bit but i don't mind because i know it will drop again later
  20. I am gojng to try that for sure. Cuz working on my swing on the course does get way frustrating [quote name="tomvk77" url="/t/71817/operation-single-digits-2014/810#post_982999"]If putting is the problem there is just one simple thing that helped me so much. I pulled a lot off putts to the left. What i was thinking off if i would get a thicker grip i might lock my wrists so i couldn't pull the putt. I bought a SuperStroke 3.0 installed it, after 2 weeks off getting used to the whole new feel, i began to make more putts specially the ones between 3 and 6 feet. It helped me to get my hdd down by 2 shots. Best spend 25 dollars ever [/quote] I was pulling them a lot too and got the same grip and that helped my accuracy a lot!!! But kow I'm having distance control issues :/ [quote name="FooFader" url="/t/71817/operation-single-digits-2014/810#post_983010"]I would definitely agree with you about leaving the mechanics at home. Trying to work on your swing on the course will only make you play badly. Just think about how poorly we all hit the ball when practicing and trying to change the picture swing very slowly. I think that if you're practicing properly on the range and at home then swing changes will slowly creep into your swing when out on the course just swinging "normally". I would say though that like tiger does when he practice swings way left, i do like to take a practice swing with exaggerated feels if i feel i'm slipping towards bad habits and regression on the back 9 of a round. [/quote] I noticed yesterday my old swing was starting to come back in play later in the round. I hit a couple pulls because unused to swing left so much and no with my stronger grip it went straight left. Maybe I'll try out a couple exaggerated swing before my approaches
  21. I appreciate the input and advice. What do you do when you go play a round? I try to keeps swing slow and try to get my position at the top right and solid follow through [quote name="flopster" url="/t/71817/operation-single-digits-2014/810#post_982923"] Neither mine, for some reason I used to putt much better and I do have flashes here and there so I know I can do it it's just a matter of sticking with what works and don't try peeking at the ball before it leaves the putter that is a flaw I constantly have to remind myself to avoid. [/quote] I have a hard time with distance control sometimes. I leave my putts short a lot
  22. [quote name="flopster" url="/t/71817/operation-single-digits-2014/810#post_982903"] Does that happen every round or did you just have a bad day with shorter putts? I hate to say this but the way you come across is that your statement makes the assertion that you can fix this in a day or less, fact is some days are better than others and you can either chase around a better game thinking it's just a few hours of practice that day or come to the conclusion your in this for the long haul and nothing is going to get fixed with your golf game for at least a month at a time before any noticeable changes happen, the reality is you have to undo or unlearn what your doing wrong first then figure out and understand how to correct the flaw and then accept the fact that it's going to take way more time than I think to get this fixed and the final reality is we never fix our swings we just make better ones once we put in the time and effort to improve. [/quote] To be honest this was the first time I tracked putting distance. It was just an eye opener. Putting has never been my strong suit either
  23. So I just noticed in my stats for the round I missed 7 putts 6' and under. Wow I need to get that under control
  24. awesome thank you. i will do more mirror work and see if I'm getting enough turn. that was a problem Mike pointed out to me and i think im falling back into it. thank you for the tips
  25. do you just do the drills? or what exactly do you do?
