Mr_Theoo 3,160 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 So lots of big plans for me. This past season was good and bad for me. I finally started practicing but didn't see as much of a score improvement as I had hoped I'll be refining my current swing. Work on the little things like set up, grip, posture. I plan to practice my full swing at least 2 times a week. I will be investing in a putting Mat to work on my stroke. I noticed I had lost a lot of skill from lack of practicing my putting. I also want to try super speed golf and maybe try to pick up a few mphs on my swing. Maybe reach that 170 ball speed number. I will also keep losing weight. Hope to hit 250 by dec 31st. And be around 210 by the start of the season in April. 3 Quote Driver: Epic 10.5 set to 9.5 w/ Tour AD-DI 44.5 FW: F6 baffler set at 16º Hybrid: NONEIrons: 3i 2014 TP CB 4-PW 2011 TP MC w/ TT S400 Wedges: 52º 56º 60 º w/ KBS C-Taper XS Soft-stepped Putter: Sigma G Tyne 34 inches Gold dot Link to post Share on other sites
robertson153 2,415 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Already made plans for after Christmas to finally get fit for a driver. I'll see how this goes, if good I'll proceed with the rest of my bag. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Quote CobraConnectChallenge3 Link to post Share on other sites
Shankster 25,697 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 After my hibernation I plan on: 1) Running 5 miles a day. 2) Weight Lifting 3) 25 yard shots in the garage at work. 4) Using the gate drill all winter at full speed. 5) SIM once a week Watch Tiger win The Masters. Move somewhere warm by June (almost still winter here) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Har in the Hat 1,589 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Winter is fast approaching especially here in the North Jon Snow Usually I hit the range once a fortnight and try and improve fitness (unsuccessfully) This year I thought about investing in a winter package over 6 months of coaching (1 lesson a month) from a reputable pro on every aspect of my game and tailor solutions and drills for all my issues. Havent done it before and seems a good idea as he'll get to know my swing and not just a quick fix but a continuation of improvements, I need 'em What are you planning?

GB13 7,778 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 First off need to lose some weight, goal is 50 pounds. I purchased a big net and turf to hit off of in my garage, until I break a window that will keep up. They just opened an indoor golf simulation facility so will likely hit that up , and thinking about a couple indoor lessons. Thinking about buying one of those putt out devices so I can practice that as well. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Don't worry, replacing a window broken by a golf ball is not THAT expensive. Don't ask me how I know... 6 Quote Wilson Staff C300 9.0* Fujikura Pro 58 stiff Callaway Rogue 3W Mitsubishi Diamana D+ LTD 80 stiff Mizuno MP-18 MMC FLI-HI 2 iron UST Mamiya Recoil 95 stiff Ping I200's 4-W Aerotech Steelfiber I110 CW stiff Ping Glide 52* and 58* stiff Bettinardi Studio Stock #38 Armlock Link to post Share on other sites
deauxrite 297 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Fortunately for me, winter in Southeast AZ is golf season. Our bentgrass does not go dormant so the greens will be perfect. Fairways will be a bit on the hard side since our rainy season is over in October and things begin to dry out a bit. My plan is to play 3 days per week with three different groups. The first group is a social outing with golf as the center piece..lots of laughter and some interesting side bets on bad shots . The second group is a very competitive group that takes their golf seriously..lots of good golf with these guys. The third group just plays for fun and has a good time every week. Beyond that activity, I will practice two days a week for an hour each day. That routine changes based on what needs work the most. I have a Mizuno fitting in October and that will be an interesting experience. I have not committed to changing from my Pings, but I am looking. 3 Quote M2 Driver Fujikura Regular Flex Mizuno 921 Tour Irons-- Titleist Wedges A new Sik Armlock putter Link to post Share on other sites
Headhammer 1,912 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 We only lose about 2-months of golf due to winter. That being said, I do a lot more work indoors on my putting & chipping when its cold. 1 Quote Driver: Speed Zone 9* HZRDUS Smoke Yellow Shaft 3 Wood: King Speedzone 13.5* HZRDUS Smoke Black Shaft 2 & 3 Hybrids: Speedzone Recoil 480 ESX Shaft Irons: Speedzone 5-GW Recoil 460 ESX Shafts Wedges: MIM 54* Versatile/60* Widelow Putter: Dual Force Rossi II Ball: Whatever I find in the woods HCP:18 Link to post Share on other sites

MWGolf23 44 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I'll jump on an indoor simulator a few times this winter and focus on my driver, woods, and long irons. Also dial in distances with wedges and irons. Fades, draws, choking up, partial swings. Want to figure these averages out to give me the best opportunity to score.

PAgolfer2017 1,933 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 My biggest thing this winter is to keep working on fitness. Down 16 pounds through one round of my workout/nutrition program, and just starting on round 2. Trying to get a few of my buddies to get into it with me and go through it this winter. Other than that, it's just indoor putting. An indoor golf training center opened up awhile back near me, so may take a trip or two over there to see what it's like.

fixyurdivot 9,514 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Temp's are dropping fast here in the Ruby Valley as well. We expect some snow on the peaks around us this week. I'm scheduled to play Old Works on Wednesday and the forecast is 39F with 5-8 mph wind at tee time. To answer your question; I will drive south to Yuma and more than double the number of rounds I've been playing this summer. I also plan on joining one of the local courses monthly unlimited practice offers (Las Barrancas GC has a nice one). I'm going to add a new wedge (probably 56 deg) and try and dial that in to see if it improves on my pretty dependable bump and run method using my 7 and 8 irons. If I'm lucky enough to get selected for the Odyssey Putter Tester, that will also be included in the mix.

RoverRick 1,545 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 On 9/24/2018 at 2:40 PM, RoverRick said: Now that the BestGrips Open is over, I plan to spend time altering my swing. I have had several different swings this year, forced by injuries. I can't rotate my left elbow. It's now been 4 months, and it hasn't gotten appreciably more flexible so at 54, it may not ever come all the way back so it's time to adapt. I want to start from a more open stance, less back swing, more follow through. I experimented a bit with this but decided to work with what I had until after this event. Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy Disregard! I went out early this morning on the range and implemented these changes. Played 9 holes and was all over the course. Shot a 45 and it wasn't pretty. I went back to the old swing, and played 18. 3 Birdies and 4 bogies. I have decided I'm not changing anything, and just hope my distance returns as my elbow gets better. I hope my elbow gets better. 4 months and it still bothers me.

ridgewalker 71 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Lots of plans for me as well.1. Lose 40 lbs2. Work on drive hold release 3. Tighten up my putting. Video analysis showed I take the putter outside on the backswing4. Work on as much skill related stuff as I can (ie. Adam Young stuff)If I can somehow do all that, next year should be very good!Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
