Trying to Break 100

Things I’m happy with in my current state of play. Iron play. It’s been solid for the most part.
Recovery. Yes I hit some bad shots but I have been following up with a good one . Gives me a chance to save a hole with at least a bogey.
Distances . For the most part I know how far each iron will travel. Of course there are outliers but it’s nice to know 165 out is a 6i. No guessing. As I said I might catch it just right and fly 175 but I don’t worry about that.

Things that need major improvement .
Driver. I just don’t know what’s going to happen with it. It’s in my head bad and I need to sort that out.
Short game. Less than a full swing with any wedge can be an adventure these days. Have to dial those in. Putting is coming along but has a way to go yet. Been missing a lot from with in 10 ft. For the most part the short game is costing me around 10-12 strokes a round.
I know what needs to be worked on so that does give me hope. Otherwise it’s just nice to be out with some good company .
Give em hell B-100!

How close to home is it? Three nines that make you work on the target game will reap you lots of good scores.

It’s about 7 mins from parking spot to parking spot.

The 9 I played today are definitely not bomb and gouge holes which I really really like.

Nice. Is it a muni?

Ehhh.....kinda sorta. It’s open to the public, but privately run, and you get get a membership, with some of the assorted perks
 
So it looks like my affinity for randomly thrusting my pelvis has found its way into my transition/downswing. Second lesson in the books and while I’ve made some progress getting my takeaway better, I’m humping the goat (and not in the potentially enjoyable/probably illegal/100% digusting, literal way).

The instructor gave me a few ideas on how to work on it but have to admit, fixing it is a bit of a struggle. Think this is a rubber meets the road kind of point where I’m going to have to dedicate a lot of time to my swing. Going to give it a shot.

One thing, past instructors have been more focused on wholesale changes. I feel like the current instructor has gotten to the very biggest issue in a short time. When I made a more normal swing ball flight was noticeably different.

Spinal fusion seems to have helped TIger. Maybe they can fuse your hips? :unsure::ROFLMAO:

I’m now told this is less than ideal behavior. Even for golfers regardless of what Thronburg Olesen says.
 
Good morning/afternoon everyone. Golf will be limited to Sundays for awhile now, but that will also give the back time to rest and get a bit stronger. Have a great day.
 
Looks like we may get out to play 9 on Sunday afternoon if we get everything sorted that we need to do (got friends coming to stay for a couple days the weekend after)
Part of me wants to play Saturday as I have a free day due to Jen being out with friends and the weather is supposed to be nice, but I feel like a weekend without too much golf wouldn't be a bad thing after playing both days last weekend

I will be playing at least Friday and Saturday next week, maybe even Sunday as well, then the following week is the league finals week so I don't want to golf myself out before then
 
Back in my office for the second day. Plan to hit a bucket of balls on Saturday am. Need to work back into using my right arm and leg. Did 7,300 steps yesterday with no problems. A little tired but okay.

That is awesome, good for you.
 
I was able to make it out again tonight, I played 9 holes but played 2 balls on #8 and #9 shooting a 47/par 38 over 11 holes at the executive course.

I had 5 really good strikes on the evening, #1 8 iron GIR 2-putt par, #3 7 iron GIR with 12 foot birdie putt missed but made the par, #5 4 iron hit as well as I could hit one, but wrong club as it went over the green ended up with bogey, #8 first shot another 4 iron hit well this one a GIR but a little bit too much fade spin putting me on the wrong side of the green, 2 putt for par, and #8 second shot from the up tee 7 iron GIR and 2 putt par.

Not all was good as my wedges were terrible tonight and I hit a 7 iron on #9 OB left, but all said it was a fun night of golf. I'm going to try to get out again tomorrow at a full size course.

Playing a fun, but very tough, Arthur Hills design on the far East part of the island. Will try and take pics. Hope the course conditions are nice.

May not keep score because 1- my game has been extremely off and 2- with swing changes come new swing thoughts. Trying to avoid humping farm animals is unfortunately a new thing for me and am having a lot of inconsistency creep in.

Well, we’re all glad you’re getting the help you need!

Remember the B100 golf plan. Drink until it’s fun. Or something like that.

The IS the B100 Bible! A gut-busting read (or listen)!
