We had a cold wet winter up in the ville so didn't get to play much. putting is terrible, the driver is either a bomb down the middle or a huge slice. irons are my only saving grace down to 6 then i can't hit them for some reason.

Trying to hit the range once a day.

My iron play and approach shot play in general has progressed. My driver and short game, putter aside, has regressed. Putting has remained stable. Just got my new irons in and I am about to get some range time in to get my distances down.

Not where it should be but my party factor has increased, which is always nice, I’ll tune it up before heading to Ballyneal in a few weeks.

Starting to come together. Irons continue to be my strength, but driving and chipping is coming around. Putting remains my biggest struggle overall.

Played Greystone from the tips last weekend and shot 80 with 35 putts and no birdies. I have work to do.

i've been trying to add techniques and over all i think it's helping but they are not natural yet, so occasionally i spray one or my new thing is hitting fat and dinking it 20 yards

Inconsistent. Swing is a long way from right, but I can get by because I'm hitting my putts right where I want.

Now if I could just remember how to read a green.

My rescue golf has been on point because I can't hit my driver straight to save my fricking life

Short game and putting have saved my arse for sure. Iron play has been solid but here lately it's been hooded shots from under trees.

I'm actually sick of driver, hooded 5 iron, chip up, sink par putt. I'm too hard headed to put it back in the bag, especially since I just got it. Taylormade M2.

My putter is awful. I think I am going to change putters. Currently, playing a Odyssey Blade.

What do you guys think of the SC Futura 5W Putter? Considering that one or the Odyssey O Work #7S. I just have to make a change - I shot 92 at Turn on Saturday with damn near 50 putts. It's insane.

Any help is appreciated.

The best I have ever played. Everything is coming together from the driver, irons, and putting. My mistakes are minimal and my misses are in good positions. I have flirted with shooting in the 70's the last few rounds. And now the next time I play, I will shot 100.

I picked up an Odyssey OWorks 3T to change it up from an Anser style putter and see what happens, I feel your pain when it comes to putting woes.

I just don't know what to do at this point. I know it's majority mental but I can't shake it.

Maybe I am not ripping my juul hard enough - I can't be sure.

You just need to bottle up that cut you hit on 1. As far as putting the stroke looked good, just speed was the issue

I've used a blade for years and I can tell you, if you had a round with 50 putts, stop using it.

Blades are very hard to use IMO, get something with a good alignment aid and perimeter weighting.

Go back to the blade after you've got your stroke right

If it's the driver all you can do is put in some range time and fight through it.

We've all been there. Mine was hurting me for a few rounds so I went and hit balls and figured out what was wrong. Hit 10 fairways my last round and all my misses weren't more than 10 feet off the fairway.
