Popular Post Sluggo42 Posted May 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2021 Got a little taller on the ball, a little higher on the backswing. This gave a really soaring high ball that was going about 5 - 10 yards longer, depending on club. Wasnt scoring today as I was really working on swing, but, probably shot around 80 ish I suppose.

I mentioned after my last round I was mentally out of it, so I was determined to not let that happen again.

I will say, it is incredible how much effort it takes to be mentally focused over an entire 18 holes. It helped that everything was clicking today with the irons. A lot less worry in the back of my mind. Definitely set a high bar now, but hopefully I can keep building on this and gain some more consistency in scoring.

BMart519 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Been playing late day 9 hole rounds lately at a 27 hole course due to the COVID booking restrictions here. Last week I played the 3rd nine for the first time and shot a 40 to go with a 39 on another 9 two weeks ago. (Along with a 49 in the middle...). The first time I played this course, I shot a 38 last fall. Spent some time this weekend reflecting on how I could shoot 38-39-40 (+9 total) playing each 9 the first time and how to bring that approach and mindset into all my rounds. Two of the 9s have water and/or OB on 7+ holes which take driver out of your hands as there is usually only 50 yards between hazards. Playing at 6300-6400 yards, I can knock it around with my 2H to keep the ball in play off the tee and have a short iron approach on par 4's under 400. Pre-planning targets for tee shots/approaches using Google Maps and following a consistent pre-shot routine has helped me concentrate on the shot at hand. I think the biggest difference playing these courses again is having expectations about what is a good score and paying more attention to score than a process focus. Need to get my driver swing cleaned up so I can trust the shape and commit to aim points off the tee to give myself more opportunities with wedges.

Popular Post juspoole Posted May 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2021 Played yesterday in a scramble at a fairly difficult country club nearby. Tips are around 76 course rating and even the whites were over par for course rating. A lot of forgettable shots and did not feel comfortable with my game or swing for most of the day. Put together a few decent shots throughout the round and we finished -10, which was fair. Notable shot was a driving the green on the par 4 340 yard 5th hole to around 30 feet. Did not make the eagle effort but tap in birdie. cksurfdude, edingc, sirchunksalot and 7 others 10 Quote Driver: Mavrik Sub Zero 9* (Set to 10) Ventus Blue 6X 2 Hybrid: TSI3 Hybrid Tensei Blue 80 X (17.25*) 3 Hybrid 818 H2 Hybrid Hzrdus RDX Black 6.5 (20.5*) 4 Iron - T200 4 Iron Graphite Design Tour AD IZ X Hybrid Shaft Irons 5-PW: T100-S 5 - GW KBS Tour 130 X Gap/Sand Wedge: Vokey SM6 49* SM8 54* Lob Wedge: Jaws 5 Wedge 58* DG Tour Issue Stiff Putter: Phantom 5.5 34" Pro Platinum Newport 2 35" Taylormade Tour Black Spider 34" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattWillGolf Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Played a quick 9 this morning. My driver has been spotty but today was my best driving day in a very long time. I was hitting a legitimate fade instead of a slice. My pre-practice routine now includes watching a couple videos from Danny Maude on YouTube. My pre-shot routine now includes practice swings to encourage a free swinging feel and weight shift that I never had before.

This year I have birdied 14 holes and eagled 3 of the par 5's (though I am just in a birdie challenge) but an opening hole birdie has eluded me. Plays 410 and uphill off the tee but a pretty flat green that has very subtle breaks. Probably had 30 birdie attempts since Dec 1st but none inside 15 feet. Just a fair but tough opening hole and I hope to join with a birdie sooner rather than later to check my last box. NRJyzr, M. Parsons, MattF and 3 others 6 Quote Driver: Qi10 10.5* ...

Popular Post MaxEntropy Posted May 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 26, 2021 Bombs*.... I was hitting bombs* tonight. With accuracy (most of the time). @MattF's old M5 seems to be coming alive for me. My shortest drive was 256 uphill into the wind, another 260 into the wind. Two were in the 280 range. This one... Slightly wind-aided with an August-like bounce and roll. (Ignore that it took me 3 to get down from green side - I chunked the chip a bit). Last hole, need 1 more good swing... Lipped out the birdie putt. Only missed two fairways, scrambled for par on 1, the other into a penalty area, focused too much on an anti-right swing. The problem tonight was approach. Two penalties on approach :facepalm: Ended up +7 with 5 pars, a bogey, and three freaking doubles. Maybe if I'd have activated my calves it would have been better. *Bombs is obviously a relative term, but given my age (53), those are bombs, in my book.

The young fella I played with was great company but I had too many blowup holes. 3 7's and an 8 don't help. If I even bogied those holes I would have shot an 83 instead of a 91.

I mentioned after my last round I was mentally out of it, so I was determined to not let that happen again. Irons were fantastic, driver was ok but didn't kill my score and my distance control with the putter was great. I got a little taller with my putting stance and that really helped me regain the touch I lost on Saturday. Came up two rolls short of a birdie on 14 and lipped out my birdie putt from 10 feet on 18. So close to being under par! Let's gooooooo!!! Awesome round, you're game is really trending in the right direction this year! cksurfdude, edingc and sirchunksalot 3 Quote Right Handed Driver: 9° Speedzone (HZRDUS Smoke Green 70g X-Stiff shaft) 2 Hybrid: 18° Exotics EXS Pro (Evenflow Black 6.5) (2020 MGS Official Review here) 3/Driving Iron: 18° UiHi Iron (MMT Utility TX 105g shaft) Irons: 4-GW T100 irons (Nippon Modus 120 X-Stiff shafts) (2021 MGS Official Review here) Wedges: 54° & 58° TSW Forged (Dynamic Gold S300) Putter: ER2B (2019 MGS Official Review here) Ball: MAXFLI Tour X Bag: Hoofer Lite WITB thread here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say, it is incredible how much effort it takes to be mentally focused over an entire 18 holes. It helped that everything was clicking today with the irons. A lot less worry in the back of my mind. Definitely set a high bar now, but hopefully I can keep building on this and gain some more consistency in scoring. This is kind of how it works. This type of score will start popping up more and more. I kind of found that your index drops in waves of a few points as you reach new levels of play instead of 1/10’s. you’ll get used to lower scores, and they then become the new norm as you reach a place where all your hard work finally settles into place. that’s when the real fun starts. One of these days you’ll fin yourself -3 thru 14 or 15, and then you’ll really see where your mental game is...

MattWillGolf Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 2 hours ago, MattF said: I had a good time playing but played poorly, if that makes sense. The young fella I played with was great company but I had too many blowup holes. 3 7's and an 8 don't help. If I even bogied those holes I would have shot an 83 instead of a 91. Oh well, there's always the next round. Makes perfect sense. As a general rule I always have a good time playing. Even with shots that were solid but finished in a bad place. Yesterday for example. My first two shots with the driver. I hit solid drives among my best ever. I played for my usual slice but the slice never came. While the end result was not great, I crushed it for me. The score wasn’t reflective of how I felt my shots went.

Middler Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 After several weeks of great play (won money 6 rounds in a row) for reasons totally unknown, and then several weeks of great front nine bad back nine or vice versa also unknown, I've leveled off again. I'm now routinely turning in bad scores front and back, so problem solved? However, I did have my longest legit drive last week (not counting one that hit a cart path). 285 yds, smoked all the other geezers I play with. Stupid game...same time tomorrow. sirchunksalot, NRJyzr, Rickp and 5 others 6 2 Quote Titleist TSR2 11° HZRDUS Red CB 50 6.0 w Lamkin UTx Midsize Titleist TSR2 16.5º HZRDUS Red 60 CB 6.0 & TSR2 21º HZRDUS Black 4G 70 6.0 w Lamkin UTx Midsize Mizuno JPX923 HMP 4-GW, T22 54.12WS, T22 58.04DC w Lamkin ST+2 Hybrid Midsize LAB DF3 w Accra Maxfli Tour & ProV1 Ping Pioneer - MGI Zip Navigator AT Payntr X 001 F (mesh), Payntr X 005 F, Ecco Biom C4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickp Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Early morning 9, 5 over 41 with 1 bird. started out 4 straight Bogie’s but turned it around last 5 holes. Fairways/Greens hard with no rain in last 3 weeks. Par on 9th was cool, nice drive 220, had 140 left over water and put 2nd shot a little short in front of green but was able to 2 putt.

CarlH Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Tough day today. Did a slight swing and grip change yesterday with my coach and tried to apply it to today's round. I did hit some really great shots, but there were enough errant ones to give me fits and a bad round. Think I shot an 87, but it was mainly centered around 6 holes that I doubled for various reasons. It was pretty much a par or a double, all day! I can't remember the last time I had so many double bogeys.

DiscipleofPenick Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 22 hours ago, MaxEntropy said: Bombs*.... I was hitting bombs* tonight. With accuracy (most of the time). @MattF's old M5 seems to be coming alive for me. My shortest drive was 256 uphill into the wind, another 260 into the wind. Two were in the 280 range. This one... Slightly wind-aided with an August-like bounce and roll. (Ignore that it took me 3 to get down from green side - I chunked the chip a bit). Last hole, need 1 more good swing... Lipped out the birdie putt. Only missed two fairways, scrambled for par on 1, the other into a penalty area, focused too much on an anti-right swing. The problem tonight was approach. Two penalties on approach :facepalm: Ended up +7 with 5 pars, a bogey, and three freaking doubles. Maybe if I'd have activated my calves it would have been better. *Bombs is obviously a relative term, but given my age (53), those are bombs, in my book. Awesome!!! You got the distance. Is the course still playing weird, or did we just pick the wrong day?
