Gettin' Better . . .

[EdZ]

I hit 10 greens and every chip I had on missed greens was within 5 feet but 1. I really felt good with the wedges and chipped it close all day. The funny thing is, the putter wasn't that bad, I burned a lot of edges and lipped out a bunch....as stated earlier in this thread......"I rolled it well, I just didn't make as many as I wanted". It was really a weird day. I did a good job course management wise.

Funny thing is...I have a lot of these types of days. Tommorrow I may hit 3 greens, have 24 putts and still shoot 80. It's day to day, but what isn't...right?

Sounds like your speed on the short putts and/or line is very aggressive?

Next round you play, take the highest line you see, and double it, even on the short putts. Let me know how it goes, I'm guessing your speed may smooth out a bit.

Miss em on the high side and 'in the leather'

What!!!!? Not run them by 17 inches? Good advice. 1-3 rps is all ya need!

That doofus Henny is fishin' . . . I'm sure that he'll chime in upon his return no doubt smelling like catfish or carp on a plank.

Bucket,

Redfish not cafish or carp. Caught a bunch and threw them all back. We got caught 25 miles South of the dock when the weather turned and the wind gusted to 37 from the North. Nowhere to hide. That was one long ride home. Lots of training and practice allowed us to pick our way through difficult conditions, and we arrived without a scratch.

Making a plan is a good idea. Training yourself to make appropriate decisions based on the conditions at hand is a higher level.

Hopefully fish is all you caught . . . .

Man! I'm soooooooooo GEEKED UP ABOUT THIS! The only thing I think that could be suspect is the encouragement part from a certain faction here . . . you 2 h8rs know who you be.

LET's ROLL . . .

Long Game

• My driver is irratic . . .
• My bad shot is typically a shot that starts right and goes right
• Or a shot that starts right and hooks past my stance line (how about that)
• Long Iron misses are either high right pushes or low left burners
• Short Irons are the strengths of my game . . . but distance control is an issue
• Short Iron misses are typically long and left
• All in all I find the clubface/sweetspot and hit it solid well but direction is my problem
• I can hit it low as you want me too . . . but high shots are harder for me
• I have an easier time hitting right to left shots than cuts
• I hit down on it plenty but not too good on the out part . . .I'm a super's nightmare . . .I move earth
• I'm a GREAT range player but don't hit the same quality shots interms of direction on course
• I have noticed that I stand too far from the ball whip it inside and get it across the line at the top
• I tend to hang back a little and come out of my waist bend
• My impact alignments are pretty good . . . I just have some weird moves getting there.

Is this the kind of stuff you were looking for?

Thanks man . . . you rock!

Bucket

After talking to my pal Bucket on the phone today, I thought this would be a great thread to get involved in. Along with beer and wings, Bucket and I have alot in common. I am 37 and truely believe I can be a scratch golfer, I love the machine and know it is the path to playing great golf. I was an 9 handicap for about 14 years, then I went to the Falcons Fire Academy and began the decent. I currently carry a 6.5 index and progression has slowed. I need a plan to get my game to the next level. The geometry and physics of my swing are more sound than ever, but how do you get out of your own way? I practice like a scratch golfer, my driving range game is tight, but I am not the same person on the course. How do good players take their range game to the course, Why does my rhythm and tempo change once I get on the first tee, Is there a secret to scoring, not just ball striking???
Looking forward to devulging into the answers to these questions and more.

This must be another one of those weird spam posts.....notice how its his first post and he wants us to believe that Bucket has friends????????

All joking aside welcome to LBG David. If you're really a friend of Buckets we that have a lot of questions to ask you.....lots and lots of questions.

Ill answer your question then you'll have to answer ours OK?............The "Triad" and feel.

Now, hmmmmm, Daryl whats our first question for David, pal o'Bucket............hmmmmmm.......where to start man , where to start?

[Daryl]

It must be spam. Bucket doesn't have friends and he only gets one phone call a week from jail. So unless his real name is Bubba, I think it's spam.
