That's too bad. You was hitting the ball well last week on the back 9..but this is why we are not professionals. 

 

What's crazy is I was hitting it on the range every bit as good if not better than I was last week and it literally disappeared in the time it took me to get to #1 tee box. ??? I still hit some quality shots and made some pars, but my misses were just too great. Maybe I'll hit the range or try to play another round before the weekend is up so I can try to figure out what's going on. I also wonder if it could be as simple as the shoes I was wearing yesterday (FJ Freestyle) vs. last week (Adidas Tour 360 Boost 2.0). I lost my balance on several shots as my left foot tended to roll to the outside a lot more.

I've not payed much attention to shoes in the past, but I've started to lately and there are definitely some shoes in my closet that just don't work for me - I've already retired a near new pair of FJ GreenJoy Spikeless (any takers?). Perhaps an experiment is in order.

It's so weird to be striking the ball so well (for me) and just scoring poorly. Compared to last year (pre-lessons), I'm playing so much more consistent and feel like I'm actually in control of the golf ball. I just have had these weird stretches of really poor putting combined with a few bad holes to really blow up some scores.

Wow, "it's so weird" 😉, but I could've written those exact same things about my golf game now..!!

... I hear a lot of members call themselves "bad golfers". As opposed to having a bad round which is relative because one golfers awful score of 89 is another golfers personal best. Take a look at where you stand compared to other golfers:

"According to data from the National Golf Foundation, only 26 percent of all golfers shoot below 90 consistently on regulation 18-hole courses; 45 percent of all golfers average more than 100 strokes per round. A player who shoots 85 is doing better than nearly three out of four of his golfing peers--a good score.

Only about 2 percent of all golfers ever break 80, which generally is considered the Holy Grail of scoring. To legitimately break 80 -- no improved lies; no 3-foot gimmes; no free drop from out of bounds -- is to breathe the rarefied air of good, if not great golf.

Scoring under 70. 0.92% of golfers have a handicap of +1 or better. Using the +1 handicap is probably the best estimate we can get to the percentage of golfers than are breaking par regularly."

... Not unusual at all. You probably know this but I had to remind my students all the time that the range is the range and very different than a golf course. To equate it to my profession, you can rehearse your lines in the comfort of your home and have them down perfectly. But when they call you in the room and Christopher Nolan is sitting there and doesn't speak a word along with a producer and the casting director, when they turn on the camera and the casting director says "whenever you are ready" and you know you only have ONE shot at it. It is nothing like rehearsing at home because you know if you screw up, you just start over. Screw up the audition and hear "Thanks for coming in. NEXT!" Same thing for the range. There is a freedom to your swing because you know it doesn't count. If you hit a 40 yard slice or hook, you just tee up another ball. Standing on the first tee, not only does your first swing count, it can define your confidence for the rest of the round. Start with a great shot and a par/birdie or a bad shot and a bogie right out of the gate can make a pretty big difference. In the words of Sheryl Crow:

Another great response. Sometimes I am very apprehensive about my scores because I am a high handicapper but I remind myself that my scores are probably not that far off of many of those around me.

82 (38/44). I lost balls on three consecutive holes on the back due to rock hard, tight fairways. I hit a 5 iron 250 yards THROUGH the fairway on the 12th hole! Ridiculous. Frustrating. I actually hit the ball well for 13 holes.

Interesting day.  Not a good driving day by my standards, but ended up with +5 (42) front and +3 (38) back for an 80.  The 42 on the front included a triple on hole #3.

Today was the first time since I had my knee replacement in 2014 that my wife tied me for 9 holes.  Her 42 was her best score on the front nine ever.  She was hitting the ball great!  Then on #10 it all fell apart; she lost her focus, and I got better.  She still shot 86, and had one birdie on each nine.  I birdied the same hole on the back.  One of these days she will beat me.  I've got to get my driver working again.

On hole #7 I felt a small twinge in my right knee (the original knee, not the fake one).  I don't remember doing anything to it, but it hurt to squat down to read putts.  I put some CBD oil on it; hope it doesn't bother me tomorrow.  I don't need another new pain for the year.  I have already had my quota.

Struck the ball wonderfully today! Walked off #5 +5 and felt like I hadn’t hit a single poor shot...

Drove it well again and hit several drives right at 300 yards, that with maybe 5 yards of roll as we got an inch of rain yesterday. Just couldn’t score super well. But I will say this awesome ball marker looked great behind the ball:

On the back nine today, I started having trouble holding on to my driver with my right hand. My could feel my driver kind of spin open to the right which made my ball fly super right. I wear two gloves (refuse to give up soft hands for golf) and wore an older pair of half finger, mesh top gloves because of the heat. I noticed that the palm of the right hand glove was damp from something and also didn't have much grip but the left glove of the pair was fine. Once I changed to another right glove - no slipping and my drives straightened back out.

I mentioned to my husband / playing partner  - wait, most right hand golfers only wear a left glove so why would my right glove be more worn than my left. I must have a goofy grip and didn't realize it.

City Championship this weekend. Hit the ball well. Missed 3 footer, a 3 putt, 2 chunked chips, and got flagged on a 12 footer due. It was moving but no way it misses if stick is out. Got to be cleaner in a tournament. State Am qualifying is in same course Monday so field is pretty strong. I’m only 12 back after day 1. 😱

Wednesday round was played off the green tees, otherwise known as the old man tees. I played off scratch for the first (and probably last) time, 6 less due to the shortness of the course. Probably tried to force it a bit and started very poorly, 5 over after 4. Putted as badly as I have in a long time, 5 x 3 putts, mostly due to poor distance control. Damp early morning greens don't agree with me. Highlight was driving the green from 240, slightly uphill. All carry and feed down to 10 feet. Lowlight was leaving the eagle putt short.

Saturday was my first round playing off the blue (back tees) since pre Covid halt. Played off 9 due to increased par rating and slope. Drove it really well, 13/14 fairways. Hit my irons pretty well and was really happy with my fairway woods, flushed all but one, including hitting 2 greens from outside 200. Mental errors, or to steal @revkev's line, "Strokes had" cost me. A triple and 2 doubles were the direct result of poor concentration, it's difficult to play a shot properly when I'm thinking about everything but the shot. Finished 11 over and really let myself down after striking the ball well.

Saturday Morning
- 43/43 = 86 / 85 ESC (+14)
- 7/15 FIR
- 8/18 GIR
- 34 Putts (2 3-putts, 12 2-putts, 4 1-putts)
Started the round with an (unexpected) triple bogey. After a few changes to my driver swing during Wednesday's lesson, I'm now hitting it more right-to-left and with less spin, and this one took off on me and rolled through the slight bend and into the tall grass about 270 yards from the tee. Hacked out, but having never really been in that position before, I played the hole all wrong and ended with an opening seven. 
This round came down to striking the irons pretty well and hurting myself with the driver.
Sunday Morning
- 44/42 = 86 (+14)
- 3/15 FIR
- 6/18 GIR (1 birdie)
- 32 Putts (1 3-putt, 12 2-putts, 5 1-putts)
Hustled to get this round in this morning as they are predicting thunderstorms mid-late morning. Highlight of the round was a 286-yard drive right in the middle of No. 3 fairway, after which I got away with a bit of a hooked 7-iron to the left rough with a good view of the green. Hit a nice low 54 wedge that took two big hops and clanged off the pin. Tap in birdie.
Hit the driver really well, and the irons were really poor after the third hole. Just didn't strike them well today at all. 
I'm consistently scoring mid-80s, but now I need to focus on eliminating the one or two bad holes that wreck my score. Saturday was the triple bogey on No.1 and a double bogey on No. 16. This morning it was a triple bogey on No. 7, a double bogey on No. 9 (which is an easy, easy par for me usually), and doubles on No. 11 and No. 16, again.
My chipping has been pretty awful over the past few rounds, but my putter is getting better. Still had a bad three-putt this morning, but at least it was the only one of the round.

Sounds like some progress. Hitting some bombs too. Can’t wait to hear how you hit the SZ Xtreme.

Yes, I'm very happy with the driver over the past two rounds. Amazing what hitting up on the ball will do to carry and total distance.

Yes, I'm very happy with the driver over the past two rounds. Amazing what hitting up on the ball will do to carry and total distance.

So true. Sounds like the putting is coming along too. I always try to tell myself you’re only allowed one bad putt per hole. So I better make the second if I screw the first one up. It works some of the time. Haha

Played the cow pasture by my house after and few days (and 2 holes) of heavy rain. So basically every drive stopped at its carry distance but I still getting over 240 carry. Shot 6 over on 9 with two double and no birdies. Hit my driver and 3 wood well, irons felt solid and putter is always on point thanks the back to back most wanted undisputed champ TA #3. Just need to be a bit more accurate on my approach and better around the greens with the wedges... maybe I should practice that more 🤷🏻‍♂️

But still a lot of fun to be out there with pops and his new clicgear Rovix push cart (again thanks MGS testing) and my brothers.

82 (38/44). I lost balls on three consecutive holes on the back due to rock hard, tight fairways. I hit a 5 iron 250 yards THROUGH the fairway on the 12th hole! Ridiculous. Frustrating. I actually hit the ball well for 13 holes. 

Sounds like I could hit a drive a little further than normal there...

5 iron 250... not even in my dreams

I carry my 5 iron about 210, so that goes to show how hard and fast that fairway was. I saw it hit and didn’t even watch it after that. I always play 5 iron on that hole! Insane.

I shot a 97 today, which is an improvement for me.

My driver was hot, put a Ventus Red 5S with Velocore into play today. A shaft can't turn a bad swing into a good result, but this is the closest shaft to it. Found it impossible to hook, and mostly was in the middle of the fairway. One shot I thought for sure was going to be a snap hook into the woods, ball started left and then all of a sudden it faded back into the fairway. The one thing I need to account for is with the Ventus is that the ball tends to fade on me. 

Only really bad shots off the tee were when I skied a couple of drives. Teed the ball a little too high and swung a little too hard, but even though those balls didn't go very far, still in the middle of the fairway.
