At what point in your round do you adjust your aim to your misses

That sounds well and good, and I will make small adjustments as well, but like I said, you do t want to play golf swing and obsess about your ball flight mid round. Generally you’re better off making your small adjustments and then playing the swing you have that day.

I believe Jack Nicklaus used to say things similar to that.

The trick is finding the sweet spot of making tweaks, but not so much that you mess up your whole round, which is where my question in the OP comes from

It really depends on my level of hung over/buzzed. If I’m hungover, I wait until I level out. Then, the swing will work itself out. If I’m buzzed or sober, I try adjustments and by 8 have a buzz and say frick it, play the flight I’m hitting and try to drop birdies on the back.

My misses are usually “over the top” terrible swings.

I don’t worry about any tee shot that is between the tree lines.

You get to a point where every couple of holes is either a small adjustment or trying to stay focused on repeating what you’ve been doing that’s working. The adjustments are rarely aim but rather swing related. Tempo, grip, head movement, etc.

As soon as my misses become consistent, which has yet to happen. So, if you don't mind, I'll bookmark this thread and let you know when it happens.

Did you come here to ask a question or to tell us what you do?

I play a draw off the tee. If I hit 3 fades in a row I'm doing something wrong in my swing, I'll spend the entire round correcting it if necessary.

I used to do that too but I’ve found more times than not it’s a great recipe for a horrible round. If I hit an errant shot or two I will stick with the plan and adjust my swing slightly.

If it continues then I just start to plan for the ball to fly whatever way it’s flying that day. If it’s a high draw then I play that, and on those days I’m in the mid 70’s. If it’s something else then I play to that, I’ve found I can still salvage a good round that way.

I shot a 79 (a good score for me) the other day hitting low fades on almost every swing, after the 3rd hole I realized it was pointless to fight it so adjusted my strategy.

A year ago I would’ve shot a 90+ that day bc I would’ve kept trying to adjust my swing to get the “perfect” ball flight.

At the end of the day it doesn’t matter what the ball looks like in the air, at the range it’s different of course

If its a tournament or there is money on the line sure. But this is a quick way to ensure you never get better.

Adjusting my aim is one of the last things I personally would do. Alignment, ball position, grip . . . there are plenty of more likely culprits. I’d want to know if it was just my tee shot or is the whole bag off?

He only reason I might adjust my aim first is if I have a temporary physical ailment that is affecting my swing.
