re: Playing from the whites

I looked in GHIN, and I make two more pars per round now compared to one tee back.

It helps, but moving up has not improved my basic swing, putting, or chipping.

That is why I’ve started some lessons. In January, I took a putting lesson. In February, chipping. In March, I plan to have a full swing session.

If I can gain 1 shot from improving each area, that would be great. Of course, as the weather improves, performance will likely improve some based on conditions. I don’t know anyone who is playing their best golf right now on a wet, cold, soggy course. When the time change comes, playing more will help as well.
