[quote]Nup. 150 yards & closer, including putting will DRASTICALLY improve a score, regardless of an errant tee shot.

[quote]This is pretty well stated in every shot counts. But, it’s common sense, my wife has a lot better chance of matching me or hitting a 10 ft putt closer than me than she does from 210 with water short and a bunker right.[/quote] I’m not sure what this has to do with my statement? ...

Telling a begginer to “start from the hole and work back” is bad advice

Posted by Tiger1242 on 5/5/24 at 3:58 pm

The old adage goes something like “that 300 yd drive you hit is worth as many strokes as that 3ft putt you missed”. While true, I think telling beginners to work mostly on shots around and on the green and not the driver is bad advice, nothing balloons a score like poor tee shots. Nothing will g...

I went from a 10 last year to currently a 4.9 according to 18 birdies, I’m always trying to break 80 Biggest mental thing for me was to just not calculate my score. I right down the number after the hole then just ignore it, I don’t count up my strokes after 9 and just keep playing. It’s defi...

Do great pro golfers fall into a consistency trap?

Posted by Tiger1242 on 5/3/24 at 12:25 pm

I’m thinking of above average to top end pros, Justin Thomas and Rickie Fowler specifically got me thinking of this, but someone like Rory somewhat falls into this camp too. They have pressure to compete every single time they play so they adjust their strategy/swing to make sure they are consis...
