I did it!!!!!! i shot a 46-44 and if it wasnt for a 10 footer that lipped out on 18 i would have broke 90 and 100 in the same day. I hit 9 fairways and had 3s putts and only 2 pars

So I went to the range today for some practice and spent about 40 minutes hitting balls and I just hit these TM Burner Super Launch irons so well. I was mixing it up between long and short irons plus driver to try and really get control of my swing. I was pretending like I was out on the course and picking clubs based on where my ball landed. I hit one drive so far today that it actually hit the 200yard sign and kept on rolling. I have never hit anything past 180 before. Most were my usual 160ish but this one was just bombed. I am still struggling quite a bit with the longer irons (4 and 5) but I will just keep practicing.
The highlight of my practice today was when I went over to the putting green and sand area. I have always struggled out of the bunker but today I got just about every ball out of the bunker on the 1st try. I was very very excited about then. Then I went over to the chipping green to work on distance control and after hitting a few balls that cleared the green because I hit them too far I started to get dialed in. I was chipping really well and leaving each ball no more than 5 feet from the pin, and one time I chipped in. That was my first time ever doing that and I was so excited...too bad there was no one around to see me jumping up and down haha.
All-in-all I would say this was a success practice session. I may try and play 9 as a single tomorrow in the late afternoon. I am so determined to improve at golf that I now look forward to picking up a club.
Keep it up GG!
I know personally all the strokes I loose on a course are in the chipping/putting department. I am long enough to make up for a botched 2nd shot but I can't recover from an awful chip. As much as I think it is a "personal practice" thing, I am going to work with my pro on exactly that.
Congrats on the chip-in. Doesn't it feel great? The best thing about it (at least for me) is there isn't a putt to miss afterwards and it helps keep your putts per round under control!
i still remember the day i broke 100 for the first time. it was at Buffalo Creek in Palmetto and I shot a 98. I think this was around 1994. after that, it seemed like I broke 100 almost every time i played.
I have dreams about that happening one day.
Wow! Great job! That's got to feel great aca :act-up:
Congrats, please report to the "Breaking 90" room.
Wow, that is just incredible! congratulations you must be so excited :smile:
Well, after making a bogey on #10 I guess my confidence got better because I finished out that back 9 with a 49! My best 9 ever! So in the end I shot a 109. It was definitely an interesting experience and I think next time I will be more calm and feel less rushed and enjoy my time alone out there. I look forward to doing it again very soon. I am thinking next week after I get back from Texas.
Even though I haven't been over 100 in awhile, I feel like I am moreso in the "trying to stay below 100" club than the "trying to break 90" club. I played 9 today and felt like I had never hit a golf ball before. It may be the worst I've ever played. Slices or skulls on almost everything, but much to my suprise I shot a 50. I really don't know what I've done to get myself swinging like I am.
The weird thing is I two putted every green, NO 3 PUTTS! Thats also counting several 1st puts from the fringe, so not really sure if they even count as putts? It really could have been a few one putts, but I don't mind two putting if the 2nd putt is essentially a tap in which almost all were.
So I guess technically, there were a few one putts. Although, doesn't seem right to count it that way.
This is a crazy game, ball striking wise it today was the worst I can ever remember, but putting wise it may have been the best. On the green I couldn't do anything wrong. I normally use a line on my ball, but not today, just aimed the putter face, squared my feet to it and rolled the ball. Playing alone, half the time I didn't even mark and pick up my ball.
instead of playing on your regular day, spend 4 hours practicing, especially chipping and putting, do this regularly, play, play, practice, play, play, practice etc etc and you'll smash 100!
