How's your golf game at the moment?

Somewhere between Scottie Scheffler and Charles Barkley. It pretty much changes on every shot.

If I could take away 2-4 swings every round, I would shoot at or under par every round. Its so damn frustrating to be so close.

The problem is, those bad swing turn into doubles in a hurry. Im hitting my irons better than I have in my entire life. I just need to hit more fairways. The problem is, when Im hitting my driver well, its amazing.

L shoulder surgery in early may, so, as bad as it's ever been after maybe my first 3 years.

2-3 weeks ago from 75-80 I could guarantee it inside 10 feet. 52 or 50 would be a good birdie chance.

Now I’m counting anything on the green as a win. If I don’t chunk it it’s thin, if I hit I solid it’s liable to be a dead pull.

Fortunately my putting is better, so I’m still 70-78 most rounds.

That stinks because getting lessons right off the bat is normally the best thing to do if you don't mind spending the money. But there are also some bad instructors out there too. There's a guy here that gives lessons at a local course and he 100% is not qualified to be giving lessons, unless you count watching YouTube videos as training for an instructor good enough.

Yeah the first guy wasn't anyone I would recommend at all. The second guy was way better but it was old school on the range with limited video. Now there is track man and immediate video and swing stats. I learn so much better that way

Where you at these days?

Better than it's been in the last 4 years or so. Finally got my grip better and feeling comfortable. Problem now is distance and distance control. I'm bombing some shots now that I feel more fluid and comfy. My distances are anywhere from 15-20 yards further than I'm used to with my irons/wedges.

Driver has completely flipped my game now that I'm not duck hooking every other drive.

With all of that said, my last 3 rounds are 94,90,92

Putting is normally my strong point but it's not great at the moment. 3 putted on my 90 round on 18.

I'm hoping to improve my consistency and dial in distances to be somewhere around 85-90 on most rounds. I think that's a good mix of being able to play a fun round but feel like I can get after it a little bit.

I'll never probably break 80 and I'm ok with it. All that I've changed is my grip and it's changed the enjoyment of my rounds.


ETA: I know GolfTec gets some hate but I did a video lesson and being able to visual how my grip changed my body positioning and overall swing was life changing. It just takes a ton of practice and sticking with i, even when it's uncomfortable.

Hate to see this for everyone, but my game has gotten bad also. Have thought of maybe pickleball, but the time on the course although infuriating can also some how be relaxing.

Thinking of buying a skytrac setup just so I can be frustrated at home late at night also.

Was told by a pro once to take 2 weeks off then sell my clubs. Maybe should have listened all those years ago.

Was nice in May, went to Oakbourne and started hooking the shite out of everything . Then developed the chipping shanks. We from upper 70s to 90s quickly. Seeing improvement, playing tomorrow

Hurricane did a lot of damage here in Augusta. Glad to be playing 9 holes under modified conditions. It may take months to get things back to normal.

In the meantime, it’s still good to get outside.

I think we open the back 9 next week, but I assume they will need to close the front while we play back there for several days.
