I played on New Years Day and shot the best 16 holes  of my life. Cut off 2 holes because didn’t think could finish all 18. I don’t count my strokes while playing, and after got home realized I had shot 69 for 16 holes. My previous best was 88. Been chasing that round for the whole year. At first few months, shot in the 80’s, but then blew up to near 100. This fall started to fix things and today shot 90 that was compromised by trying to help my teenager not get too down on his first 18 hole round. 

My goals are to play in the 80’s consistently. What needs fixing?
1) Stop topping the driver. This year I started to top all over the place. Finally last month did a lesson. I spent the whole year working on my pivot and ground forces that my hands weren’t  catching up. 
2) Know my yardages. Especially what club/swing goes from 40 to 80 yards. Hoping the Rapsodo test helps this
3) Practice short putting. Missed 3 putts under 3 feet today. Need to develop my trust in that area. Got a Putt Out for that
4) Limit the brain fart shots. Example:  I topped my fairway today 15 yards and instead of going back to the cart to get another club, I tried to take some off the wood and pulled it OB. 

2 and 3 can make a huge difference.  Think about what your scores would be if you could get up and in 50% of the holes?  60%?
That's at minimum 9-10 strokes for 18 holes.   That turns a 100 a 90-91.   
Good putting saves pars, makes birdies, makes a bogey instead of a double, its so important. 
I played and practiced so many years trying to master a 3 iron, and pretty much ignored 2 and 3.  This was not smart.  
"I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger...", The Faces weren't golfers were they?
 

I topped 2 shots with driver in my garage. It ricocheted up. Need to Google how to patch a ceiling 

Both of y’all need to stop putting that thought into my head... It hasn’t happened yet, hah. Let’s keep it that way. I’ll report back with my bruise when it does happen though.

i’m gonna have nightmares about the placement of that pole.
you’re either never going to shank a ball again, or you’re going to die.

Took the Rapsodo for first test on the range. 
 


Initial thoughts
1) Setup was very easy. Pairing was a cinch. Selecting your clubs. Main difficulty was framing the swing with long clubs
2) Distances seemed accurate. It was nice to see the trajectories as well. 
 
3) The smart club selection was hit or miss. Don’t know if is user error or the lighting. 
 
4) Watching my swing is a bit humbling, especially my driver. But that’s the point to have better feedback for better progress 
 
Next step is indoor net practice
