jeez bogey russ you must play 300 rounds a year! Kinda jealous...lol
Played with THP'ers OEM Kevin, golf4life, and ddec today and hacked my way around the course in 99 strokes 49/50 (32 putts). Tee shots with the drivers today were all blocked to the right while Mashie tee shots were more consistent and found the fairway more often than not. Chipping for me was non-existent which was disheartening as that's an area I've been focusing on for over 3 months and have felt that was a part of my game that has greatly improved. Between my block party on the tee box and my inconsistent chipping I figure that all of that cost me about 5-7 shots today, easily. I was very happy with my putting considering I used a harder ball than I'm used to. The most important part of today's game today was the progress I showed in the mental aspect. I never really got down on myself too much and when shots or holes didn't go my way I did my best to shrug it off. After going through my typical 3-4 hole hiccup, man I managed to finish with 5 bogeys which helped me salvage the round and my sanity. While finishing with 5 bogeys to conclude a round may not sound good to you, it was a boost to me. I'm still missing way too many greens on par 3's and still very inconsistent from 125 and in but there are some flashes that give me hope and something to work on
That's what I'm talking about!!! Way to finish strong bro! Not bad for your first round out for the year. Do you feel like you were putting too much pressure on your short game (maybe you were expecting to much)?
I feel like I'm pressing when I nail a great drive to come up with a good approach shot, or when I'm on a par 3 to deliver a good shot, it's definitely a mental yip with me the closer I get to the hole. I lose all fluidity of my swing and become stiff and robot like. G4L was saying I'm 2 different player on each hole, one just wants to hit a good shot, the other wants to hit a perfect shot. I need to find the middle ground. at least my course management is a little better now so there's hope for me
You just need to have faith that the work you're putting in is working and will pay off. I will give you one word of advice my friend: you cannot will a golf ball, all you can do is put it in the bottom of your swing. Trust that fact, find the bottom of YOUR swing, and clear your mind.
I'm proud of you buddy. That last part of your post about your round made me smile.
Shot an 84 today and I am so pissed off right now it's not even funny. Got hit up on twice and it completely frazzled me and the second time was right as I was swinging in the fairway. Shanked that ball so far right. I was playing very nicely up to that point and I completely lost it. Went from a 37 on the front side to a miserable 47 on the back. Back side included a 9!! and a 7. Putting was miserable as well and I am very close to pulling the trigger on a Gambler.
