Got to get out for a round with a friend with a single digit handicap. As someone who’s never broke 90, I’ve been pretty reluctant to play with people “that good” for fear of making it unenjoyable. What I realized today is that there’s a lot of small things that he does better. Chips, pitches and putts! Learned a lot today

It’s actually one of the best ways to get better. I use to play with a 2 hcp and you gain a ton of insights into game management - tee strategies, creative club usage, and a number of other things you might not think to do when playing solo or with others that are at the same stage as yourself.

I just had the steel shafts thankfully.

I really appreciate the feedback here! I decided on a bridge solution. Found a great used set of Sub 70 699 Pro at a really great price point. It’s sort of a rip the band aid off and learn to be less attached without breaking the bank for the experiment. The 699s arrived today! So here goes the new adventure…

I recently watched a video describing a similar scenario for a 6’4” guy. I found the explanation helpful in recognizing some patterns I was doing.

@MissionMan how is this going six weeks later?! Are you able to repeat consistently? Any struggles loosing the feel?

I’m having the hardest time processing my round today. I’m in the still-haven’t-broke-90 club. Shot a 42 on the front, and followed it with a 48 on the back 🤦‍♂️. Good things first: one birdie, six pars, three bogeys. Short game around the green was great, thanks in part to some of the things I’ve read on this forum in the past week and thanks to a friend that pushed me to use different clubs. I had 31 putts, including 7 one putts. First day with the new clubs, which were awesome, but also didn’t trust my distances.
Now for the trouble. 7 doubles and a triple. The driver was a real problem today and I was late to recognize it. I had 2 FIR, one of which was a 4-iron. Both of those holes resulted in doubles, because of shanked full swing wedges. Two penalties on the back due to drives, and another three or four where the only play was a punch out back to the fairway.
I played 10 holes at 2 over, and 8 holes at 17 over. Such a frustrating game
