How'd you play?

Just could not get the putts to fall today. So many putts that were near misses and too many 3 putts on the front nine. Overall a decent round but could have been so much better. Was really hitting off the tee really good today. The one triple was an unnecessary 3 wood hooked into the water. IMG_0921.jpeg.45996db9904e48f8896b99d110715943.jpeg

Morning sir,

 

I wish I was going to be around,  I'd love to get together for a quick 18.  Unfortunately, I will be on the Big Island that week.  30 year anniversary trip.  Next time??

 

Sure!!  Congratulations!  Enjoy the Big Island... been a long time since I was there.  Loved it!  Last trip to Hawaii was to Maui and played Kapalua Plantation.

I've been going through some swing changes this year and it hasn't been easy. A lot of people say it gets worse before it gets better. Today felt like the first step in the right direction. Was striking the ball well all day and had my lowest score of the year. Hoping to keep playing consistent and reach my goal of being a single handicap by the end of the year. For anyone else going through swing changes, keep your head up and trust the process!

 

... Good stuff. When I taught I always had my student simply walk 10 feet, then turn and walk back about 10 feet. Then I would give them instructions "make sure you heel hits the ground first with your toes at least a 30% angle up, increase your stride by 6" only and make absolutely sure you knee doesn't straighten completely. Now ... walk 10 feet and back and do all those things I just described". They either couldn't even start or they walked very slowly and disjointedly. "That's what changing your swing is like. You can't think about walking and walk smoothly at the same time. Same is true for your golf swing. Until we can engrain new movements one at a time and you no longer have to think about what you are doing, it will be difficult. And yes, most likely you will get worse before you start getting better. But there is always a light at the end of the tunnel!"

Had my best round yet yesterday. Shot a 76 at my local muni (6200 yards, 123 slope.) Amazingly, I only hit 5 fairways and 6 GIR. My short game and putting saved me. Only 23 putts and that was on already iffy greens that had been punched the day before and were a total crapshoot. I had zero expectations for the day and didn't even pay attention to my score...and that's always when things go well. Expectations are a score killer.

Played the last two days and really playing some good golf.

Still on the hunt for a sub 70 round. Only did it once before, and feel I am getting close. Data tracking and metrics have really helped identify areas for growth.

so true, and take it from a guy who changes his swing as often as he changes his undies...

One change that is finally taking root is to have my backswing left arm go straight back, rather than wrap behind me. I call it "arm up". There are many different things that happen, but I can only think about one thing, and have to trust the rest will happen, if I can just follow ONE change. Its starting to pay off the last few weeks with numerous good rounds. ONE thought, for weeks upon weeks...

... Great to hear Sluggo and it's so nice when it works! What usually happens with every golfer is sooner or later we begin to over do the change. This is one of the reasons Pro's have swing coaches to catch them before it become a problem. I love watching a Tour on the range and his coach moves his hands at address about 1/2" up or down. If left unchecked those hands might continue to creep over time. For us am's it is usually a pendulum effect where we go too far in one direction and then correct and over time go too far in the other direction. But when we are in-between, magic happens.  Everything goes so fast with so many moving parts it is impossible to own the same swing day in and day out, but the player that institutes a change that stays with them is really priceless.

Played today and had the potential for a very good score.  Very hot and humid, and including range warm up, I changed to my 4th glove on the 10 tee.  

Front 9:  6/7 FIRs and 4 GIRs.  Mix of some very good shots and a few just misses.  Shot 40 with 5 pars, 4 bogies - no doubles and no 3 putts, 2 one putts.  The 2 one putts the result of very good approaches that just missed the green so GIRs we’re still better than my 39% avg.

Back 9:  tee #10 shot went about 75 yards, and driver head about 73 yards. Callaway Fusion Driver with a UST Recoil 450 ES F3, and the break happened in the middle of the adapter.  Hoping and praying it can be repaired as 1) I love this driver (84% FIRs, avg carry of 215, 2250 spin with avg 94.2 SS;  2) I just replaced all of my other clubs with no intention of replacing the driver; 3) driving to MI one week from tomorrow (Mon) with plans to play. The nxt 2 holes I moved up one tee box and used my new 5w, then on #12, the lightning sirens sounded.

If my shaft can’t be reused, any suggestions on a replacement?  The one that broke is no longer available and UST no longer makes Recoils for woods.  It’s 56g with mid-high launch. 5.7* torque.

@GaryF regarding the shaft, you may want to check out Callaway Pre Owned site and see if they may have one.

If they do, and you get it, and then the other is repairable, you will have a spare and no worries if it would happen again.

Overall, not my best 9 holes. Hitting from the tee box absolutely killed me. Even when I dropped from the driver to my usually trusty 3 wood, I couldn't seem to make good connection, except for 1 hole where I got decent connection and 214 yards out of it. What saved my round was my 5 iron. Before, I was maxing out at about 160/165 with it but today, I was knocking it 175-180. I feel like my iron game has improved a lot recently and I've consistently added 10-20 yards over my prior averages. My hybrids are confusing me because the ball just seems to die in the air. It was also a clouds and humid morning on the course.20230806_072134.jpg.1c59e25718d99382c82a092e87557bc3.jpgScreenshot_20230806_062156_TheGrint.jpg.d6850d2638decbb1445ba4c5ca4960db.jpgScreenshot_20230806_070550_TheGrint.jpg.1dc21cef1c5c9e5cc017abe6538b6b1b.jpgScreenshot_20230806_092715_Gmail.jpg.efe5e84ef26e010d41d5aab15b3c0ba0.jpg

Only got 7 holes recorded in Arccos before we got rained on, but had another great day on approach.

Not a great day off the tee, good ones were good but the misses were big and costly.

Still a fun day out with my brother-in-laws.

Today's round can best be described as soggy. It started raining on the first tee and didn't stop the whole time we were there. Got through 7 holes before it was too much to play through. I had five pars, a double, and a bogey to sit +3 through 7. Don't feel too bad about it considering the conditions.

I feel you on the misses. I missed 6 of 7 today and they were bad, not including the par 3s.

Another up and down round. 9 over playing off 7, which seems to be what I do now. 2 over after 3 then played the next 6 holes in 1 under. Should have have been 1 less after flushing a 7 iron to 2 feet on the 8th hole. I missed the putt whilst thinking about finally winning the “golden shot” Thankfully I did and it was worth $164 which eased the pain of missing the putt somewhat. Another flushed 7 iron cost me after a wrong yardage meant I flew the green. Putted well, short game was pretty solid. Finished the round by lipping out bunker shot. Probably my best shot of the day, ball was plugged in the face. Popped up beautifully and looked in until the last 6 inches. Tap in for par wasn’t what I was expecting as I walked in to the bunker.
