So true Mike. It seems I always have that blow up hole somewhere. I honestly think I get ahead of myself or start to pay close attention to the score and what I "need" to shoot. I know my weaknesses, but understanding them and correcting them is the key. I guess some lessons and practice can always help. I would like to have a full month (minimum of 4 rounds) of sub 90 rounds some time this year.
"Where is my PGA Professional?" Michael Breed keeps telling me to go see them.
If the PGA could change the standard round to 27 holes, while only counting the last 18, the break 90 club would be easy. Two weeks ago 52-43, last week 54-44, 51-43. The first 3 or 4 holes kill me every time. And if i go to the range beforehand, i just shank everything i hit. The range is not my firend
i hadnt broke 90 on 18 until last week. I flirted with some 91's but i think the biggest was eliminating penalties off the tee (by concentrating on driver accuracy not length) and those blowup holes. I know i dont hit good 5-6 irons; ill hit em off the toe or something and get 120 yards.. when i get stroke a nice 7-8 iron 150 yards consistanly.
Finally everythign started clicking the last 2 rounds. shot an 86 and a 81. The 81 was the biggest improvement in a round to date. After starting in the 100's again this year, then in the low 90's - ten strokes off in a 2 week span is a lot.
But i focused on the drives... aiming away from trouble... and getting it to the green... even chipping 10 yards off the green in 3 gives me par chances.. And after my short game lesson - im leaving my chips 2-3 feet from cup... which is a far cry from the beginning of the season -- 10-20 foot putts.
No 3 putts, no penalties, eliminate the blow up holes - you can save a lot of strokes. Ive learned. Even working on chipping for an extended time - since most of us in the 90's dont hit alot of GIR's - you have to get those chips close.
Now to break 80...putts under 30 per round... absolutely no penalties off the tee.... cant card anything worse than a double...

Today I carded matching 44's for a nice balanced 88! Managed to keep my driver in play, that was the key.....if I can keep this up I'll be ready for the 2nd edition of the Morgan Cup!!!
