Welcome to TST! I wish I could join you, but I'm in IL. I've found this site to be an enormous help since I began golfing again after 10 years away from the game.

@iacas I'm happy to say that I broke 100 as I previously posted in the goals thread.

ChetlovesMer summed up this thread very nicely. I can recall one flush approach shot from my last round that was right on target. I'm really fortunate if I hit 1-2 flush shots per round.

Day 18 9/1/19 Pitched with my SW to a target 30 yards away. The club face is square at impact, but I'm still very inconsistent with ball contact. I'm digging the club in the ground and hitting line drives sometimes.- 17,382 replies

Day 11 8/24/19 Chipping with my SW, PW and 9i. On the Hole19 app I found a beta feature that lists practice exercises. I normally use Golf Pad to record my scores and had Hole19 installed previously just to check it out. It seems worth it to leave it installed just for the driving range exercises. Chipping: Hit the square Created a square with 4 clubs 5 yards away. Chipped 12 balls and counted those that landed inside the square. 3/12 landed- 17,382 replies

Day 9 8/22/19 Pitched with my SW again. The 1st few shots were a mixed bag of bad and good shots. After around the 5th shot I started to find a groove and make some consistent contact.- 17,382 replies

Day 8 8/21/19 Full dry swings with my 3w. I didn't seem very comfortable with my swing tonight and know some of the shots would have been bad. Getting in better shape would really help my swing. I need to lose 20 lbs.- 17,382 replies

I would recommend creating a video of your lag putts. Then you can post it here or have a good instructor take a look. You might be ahead/behind with your hands or your alignment might be off. It's hard to notice these details on your own.
