Still had two major blowup holes that cost me 7 strokes alone, but my game is finally trending in the right direction and has me feeling good about all the practice I've been putting in. It also helps to play the same course daily. I still suck at putting though. Also, first birdie at AUC has finally been had. Rating: 72.3/133

LET’S GO BRYSON! Both of my favorites in the top 2 but typical Rory to choke it [emoji24]

Played 18 with my dad today to celebrate Father’s Day. Struggled putting all day long and the 95 degree heat wasn’t helping. However, the driver and woods were HOT today. Multiple 270+ drives which isn’t normal for me. Just really need to work on my approach game because proximity to hole is pretty bad right now and I believe is costing me quite a few strokes

DeChambeau has been on fire at the majors this year. It’s looking like he’s his to lose. Rooting him and Rory on for a playoff.

Did not even realize that we were supposed to include slope and rating. Will include that going forward. Thanks for all you do!

I play the ball down 99% of the time. The only times I will give myself a preferred lie is if it’s on rocks, tree roots, or I know there is a possibility of there being rocks under the hardpan. I’m lucky to have a well kept course but if I go to a muni that is in rough shape, I’m not taking the risk of damaging a club to play it as it lies.

Very easily could have been a low 80s score as my ball striking was phenomenal today but the back 9 beat me up a good bit on my approaches and tee shots. Can't wait to get back on Friday to do it all over again.

Thanks for the reply. I have had a major uptick in my playing so I probably need to have a major uptick in my strength and conditioning routine to keep up with it.

Will check out these books! I actually didn’t look at my score until after the round. The coach and I both said I was playing well today and everything felt good but neither of us had even tallied the score yet. Just kept plugging away. Hole 15 at like 60yds in was the first sha—- and then they just continued to arise after that. Driver still was hot and putter was feeling good. Just couldn’t swing an iron or wedge.

Coach said it looked like the energy got zapped out of me but couldn’t tell if that was mental or physical. Late round declines are pretty common for me though so I would assume it is a combination of both. He pointed out one flaw in my bad swings at the very end but to be fair I had been striping it all day so he didn’t want to try and fix something on course. I don’t really notice a different thought over the ball after a bad shot, but I notice after a few I can feel my shoulders tense up really bad and that leads to worse shots. Only thing I tried to change was on the 17th, which is a par 3 I decided to really try and force my hips through since I was sha—— the ball and felt like my hips weren’t clearing. Pulled the ball hard left and got hit with a penalty for it. Driver was still bombing. Just couldn’t hit irons or wedges after the first bad shot on 15.

Cut line +4 Tigers Score +5 missed cut

Hey everyone! I’m been fortunate enough to join a private club and have been playing pretty much daily over the last three weeks. In the last three weeks I’ve seen my scores drop massively to the point where last Saturday I had a round with my coach that was on pace to be far better than anything I’ve ever shot… however, at hole 15 I caught the shanks and hadn’t had issues all day with them. They lasted through the end of the round and I tripled the last 4 to go from record breaking round to one of the worst rounds I’ve had all year. My question for everyone is do you think energy levels dropping at hole 15 is due to a fitness issue where I need to just get into the gym and train my body for some stamina or could it be a technique issue that might have creeped in? I believe it’s a fitness issue or maybe even just needing to eat on the course to replenish some lost energy, but I know technique gets magnified when you’re tired or lazy. Have you had anything like this happen? How did you come back from it? Any tricks to bounce back after poor shots?

Putting was off today, which makes me have hope for the way my game is trending. Tossed a mallet putter into the bag for this round instead of my Scotty and I wish I would have had the trusty Scotty... All in the name of testing to see if I should get the DF3
