A physical problem that turns into a mental one.
127 into the flag.
Hard 9 or easy 8?
The issue is do you take the longer club and hit it easy?
Or the shorter club and hit it harder?
Both are my bugaboo.
When I club down and hit it easy,
That causes me issues
When i club up and try to hit it harder, thats no good either.
If you play a ton and are good the little adjustments are easily made.
If youre me.
Take the STRONGER club and swing regular.. if it goes long
SO WHAT! Trouble is rarely long.
Its a better decisive decision to take 1 more club and swing regular than make some minor adjustment that puts you in immediate peril.
Ok thats it.

Been playing with a lot of strangers lately. Good people. Hard workers.some folks out there are having trouble with pitching and chipping ...
My suspect is you're careless with your aim.
I get it. We all do it.
What helps me is using an intermediate target. I do it on every shot.
What it does is gives you peace of mind that at the very least , you will know which direction you need to be going.
You may thin it over the green, or lay the sod over it.
But you will be on target.

The greatest tip of all time.It frees up your swing, lets your feel take over...

My game is great right now.
Playing with no ego, no expectations and just doing the very best I can on each and every shot. When I have a difficult shot, i strive to minimize the damage and not make a bad situation worse.
Par is great. Bogies are inevitable. Birdies sometimes happen.
Doubles I try to minimize.
Havent had a blow up hole in a few rounds.
God bless us humans.
Golf is life

I need to clarify my pre shot routine.
I need to pick the club, and stand behind to get the target and to get the line.
Then I need to set up to the ball and get the feel for the shot,including path.
Vocalizing the intent of the shot shape is a key.
" I'm gonna hit a little cut in there"
" Im gonna draw it off that bunker"
Etc.
Make a plan,
Then let feel decide the shape of it.
Yeah.
Going to try that at Camas Meadows this weekend

A Carefree swing doesnt mean Careless

Pick a ball that wont scuff that bad, spins a little,doesn't feel like a rock.
Experiment with different compression.
Slower swing ,....lower compression.

Yep

I just changed drivers.
Reg flex instead of senior. Titleist TSR instead of Mavrik.
3 year old technology instead of 8.
Maybe 5 yards of distance better.
Maybe.
I did an experiment 15 years ago.
Bought sleeves of every manufacturer. Cheap,expensive, in between.
5 yards at most difference.
I cant afford the latest and greatest.
Never could
I try and play the best I can afford.
Bottom line.
Except for putters.
I hit it straighter but not longer. I probably average the same from 15 years ago...
Most stuff out there ,doesnt matter the brand,or flex. It all goes the same.
