mr.hicksta Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 So my time in Va Beach resulted in me working with a new swing coach, @edteergolf, and signing up to work with a putting coach as well. I knew the former was happening, but the latter was a bit of a surprise so I'm excited to see how things go. Now that my bag is fully intact, I'm going to bust my ass to see how much I can improve moving forward.

mr.hicksta Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 Been awhile since I’ve posted in here, and as of today I’m trending to 13.2 so I’m going the wrong direction. I’m determined to get things on track though and I’m hoping to get closer to 10 before I leave Hawaii next March. cnosil, sirchunksalot, cksurfdude and 1 other 4 Quote LTDx Black 10.5º | UST LIN-Q M40X TSPX Blue 6F4 LTDx 3W 15º | UST LIN-Q M40X TSPX Blue 7F4 G425 3H 19º | UST Recoil Proto Hybrid 85F4 Z785 4-PW | UST Recoil 125 Proto F4 RTX ZipCore Tour Rack 50º Mid, 54º Mid, 60º Mid | UST Recoil Wedge Proto F4 ER5BV | BGT Stability Tour Tour B X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smellis745 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 When I was going through my swing changes, my handicap went up over 5 strokes. Things finally started clicking and it's been a steady decline since last February. Still have a ways to go to get where I want, but I'm getting there. Key thing is grinding it out and not letting yourself revert to old habits. cksurfdude, sirchunksalot and mr.hicksta 3 Quote PXG 0811X Gen 4 7.5* - Graphite Design Tour AD-HD 7 TX TaylorMade M6 15* - PX HZRDUS Green 80 TX Titleist 913 Fd 18* - MCA KuroKage XMS 90 X /// OR /// Callaway XForged UT 20* - Aldila Rogue Black 105 TX Srixon Z745 4-P - PX LZ 7.0 Vokey SM7 49F / 53F / 58K - DG TI S400 Odyssey Black #3 34” Titleist AVX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.hicksta Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 I'm heading into 2020 with a 13.2 index as of the 12/15 revision. I played a lot of golf in 2019, but I certainly took a couple steps back. I plan to rectify this in 2020 and will most definitely be sharing my progress with MGS! cnosil, cksurfdude and GolfSpy MPR 3 Quote LTDx Black 10.5º | UST LIN-Q M40X TSPX Blue 6F4 LTDx 3W 15º | UST LIN-Q M40X TSPX Blue 7F4 G425 3H 19º | UST Recoil Proto Hybrid 85F4 Z785 4-PW | UST Recoil 125 Proto F4 RTX ZipCore Tour Rack 50º Mid, 54º Mid, 60º Mid | UST Recoil Wedge Proto F4 ER5BV | BGT Stability Tour Tour B X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaidJacket Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Forget chasing a handicap. Forget it and let it happen. Play golf. Do or learn whatever it takes (legally of course) to score par or better on most holes. Free your mind and you'll drop to single faster than you thought possible. Don't worry about your swing or what you think you look like playing golf. It doesn't matter. You don't have to submit a video of your game to hold a 5 hcp. You can do it.

Agent Mike Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 On 8/21/2019 at 11:22 AM, perseveringgolfer said: @mr.hicksta work on your short game, THAT is the key to lower scores and lower handicap. I don't mean master using a 56/60* wedge, I mean master using whatever it takes to get the ball nearer the hole from around the green, if that means skulling a wedge at the balls equator, or using a hybrid to 'chip' then sobeit. Secondly take the fear away from any putt under 8 feet, if any of them miss it's because it lips out, not because you missed the hole or came up short! Do this young padewan and you'll be knocking on Mr Single figures door sooner than you think. Good Luck. This is some sound advise. I was just listening to episode 39 of No Putts Given and they were talking about wedges and grinds. I think this is the year I go wedge crazy. I’m going to focus very strongly in this area this year. mr.hicksta and cnosil 2 Quote WITB Cobra F9 Speed Back w/Fujikura Atmos x70 black, Cobra Fly Z Pro Irons 4-PW, Vokey 52, 56, and 60.04L(thanks MGS for the lesson), Ping Ketsch Putter, Ping Pioneer Bag, Tri Swivel II Cart.
