Thanks guys - I’ve been absentee here for a while and I don’t like it.

Posting here only for my own sake…in hopes to get me focused on something I enjoy. Months ago, my wife was diagnosed with cancer and after multiple surgeries and hospital stays, I’ve played just two rounds all year. I hit on the range yesterday for the first time in a long time. Prob hit my driver as well as I ever have. My irons started out as a C- but graduate to a B+ by the end. My time has been focused and centered on my family (where it should continue to be), but I need to get back into things for my own sanity. I’ve never been able to get out much, but this is ridiculous

Can Putting Distance Control Be More Systematic?
woodzie264 replied to Seeking70s's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
True, but I’m not that coordinated. My point was, I don’t have to look at my hand to throw a paper ball in a trash can because the object being launched/propelled is attached to me whereas the golf ball is not. -
Can Putting Distance Control Be More Systematic?
woodzie264 replied to Seeking70s's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
I get what you’re saying, but with your paper ball analogy, the ball is in your hand, it’s connected to your person….so there’s nothing happening at the interface between the ball and the hand. With putting, it isn’t connected and there’s a distinct moment of contact/interaction between the disconnected ball and your moving putter…not quite apples to apples -
Only 5 eagles in my life, and only 2 BIRDIES in a round twice. I only birdie a hole every 2-3 rounds…ie, I miss a lot of birdie putts

Great point I didn’t even think of

And cut yourself some slack- it took me 6 months or so to have a steadier head with real speed swing and I still can’t grip the club right 😒

Conditions and pace of play make or break the round when grading it as being enjoyable. The Company makes it memorable. Great company can also help make up for a less than desirable pace or set of conditions.

Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?
woodzie264 replied to iacas's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
No - there was a time when I was practicing regularly, but outside of the few rounds I’ve played this year, I think I’ve hit balls maybe 3 times. 😏 I need to get back into things. This is my way of putting it out there for accountability 🙄 -
