Good article! A few things that came to mind as I was reading:
I find myself doing this a lot, especially around the greens, which really wasn't the focus of the article but I say the same words. For some reason, I tend to look at getting to the green as the "hard part" and therefore get a little dismissive about the 3 strokes it takes to get in from 50ft. I especially liked the quote you are aiming your whole shot pattern. Two things I've heard recently about this An observation that amateurs tend to come up short on their approach distances because that one time... The suggestion was to use center of green yardages for front hole locations and back of green yardages for center/back locations, but now that I think about it that might just be treating the big lie symptom For those that aren't using something like Arccos, I heard the idea of "Aimpoint from the fairway", which is to get an understanding of your left/right dispersion compared to the target line and represent that in "number of fingers left/right" of the target line.

Played another 9 at the par 3 course today with my dad and sons. Hard to top days like that. Didn’t play particularly well, 3 GIR and 0 pars to go with 8 bogeys and a double. Most exciting thing today was the 10yo tied me for the round, by far his best showing.
 I’ve been playing around with AimPoint in practice, but feel really self conscious doing it on the course. However, I committed to it for the last several holes. My distance control is what needs the most attention but I find that when I trust the aiming I’m able to focus a little more on the distance.

Played a par 3 course today because of how poor the approach irons were the other day. Hit almost everything fat today so everything came up short despite mostly decent ball flight. Didn’t hit a single green in nine tries, so little disappointing. Good news was that I had a few pars and never made more than bogey so the chipping and putting game was decent.

Love this! Finally getting around to replacing clubs I've had for too many years and these are the 3 I started with, though I went driver, putter, wedge. Also, my 10 year old son started golfing last year and I've got a strong belief in trying to teach him to enjoy putting in the work around the greens. We throw our wedges and putters into one of his little bags and ride our bikes over to the course to play all sorts of games on the practice green.

I subbed in for my father-in-law’s golf league tonight. Really kind of a mixed bag. Lots of positives from the tee and iron shots including a couple of my best ever drives. Got off to a weird start around the greens and just couldn’t shake it. Could not for the life of me get a feel for distances on the green. Really tough to strike the ball fairly well and give it all away inside 20 yards.
