Day 12 Putting indoors to a target 3' away. I worked on stance, alignment and the takeaway. I also eliminated the finger down the shaft at the start of this year after reading through the thread below. It was uncomfortable at first, but the most noticeable difference in putting has been lag putts 20'+ are consistently closer and reducing 3 putts.- 17,382 replies

Oops, I numbered my last entry with the wrong day. Fixed in the quote above. Day 7 A continuation of yesterday outside with a 7i. I worked on opening up my hips and the correct movements to compress the ball. It started raining and I had to go inside after 10 minutes.- 17,382 replies

I shot a 46 on the front 9 of my home course. My driver contact is improving, but I still need to hit more fairways 2/9. I also need to work on pitching/chipping around the green.

I found a GG Live set and bought it for $15. Hopefully I'll get my money's worth with it this year.

I have the same question. I planned on purchasing GameGolf Live this year, but I'm not sure if I should at this point? I just read through quite a few recent (May-June 2020), terrible reviews on Amazon. I would like to hear some opinions on if I should proceed with getting GameGolf or some other recommendations for golf analyzers.

The no sevens challenge and breaking 90.
-
I do the same. My friend who I play with on a regular basis obsesses over his score on each hole, but it doesn't seem to affect his game.
-
Consistency is definitely key here. I'm in for the no sevens challenge this season on my way to breaking 90.

Craigers replied to Sandhills Golfer's topic in Destinations and Travel
I'm going to Myrtle Beach for the 1st time at the end of August. I would love to hear any recommendations for good value and must play courses. -
I have a 46 degree PW and a 55 degree SW. I plan on adding a gap wedge next year.

I play the ball as it lies. I move the ball around a lot at the range to practice hitting under different conditions. I like the big R avatar. When people see the Big R they know it's RetiredOldMan!
