Thanks for posting. You have some nice videos. It’s nice to see those tight draws with the driver. It seems like your putter miss is short right. I suggest aiming for 5-10% more break. If your first putt is not 1 ft past the hole, then your speed was off. Or aim higher on the apex of the break. Good luck.

Do you have a “go-to” distance? You often hit 4 wood from 200+ to the green and have a tricky 40-50 yard chip/pitch left. Would you prefer to always have, say, 100 yards in?
@NotAScratchGolfer
@NotAScratchGolfer 3 жыл бұрын
This is a fantastic question and a great discussion topic. Thanks Alan! Indeed, my 4 wood is a 200-220 club. If I miss it (especially in cold/wet conditions that we have here at this time of year), I'm often left with those short pitches you describe. Generally speaking I'm actually comfortable with these pitches and prefer them to hitting a full wedge. With that said, something I need to think about more is the danger in play if I miss short. 40 yards on a sidehill lie to a tucked pin is not a good place to be, and I leave myself there too often. These types of course management decisions absolutely add up significantly for handicap golfers. I think about them a lot and you did a great job honing in on one place where I need to be better.

Entertaining, and you are a very good putter....at least +4 or +5 on the same ability golfer due to your putting. I think I count more as an average Joe though than your 78. My video of a usual 100-110 on a course like this (mid 90s on a wide open course where I can hit a bunch from adjacent fairways) would be 2x as long. "I hit the 4th pine tree along the right....now we're gonna play from the mulch...that one's wet, going to take a drop here...this one for triple bogey." Plus a lot of bleeping.

So much potential in that swing!! But right now everything is so flat and closed you will smother hook push hit fat or thin because the club face isn’t in line with the target for long enough through impact Solutions are never related to problems :) Just need to find a way to get the club higher on the backswing - I promise :) If you like a visual think about a triangle where someone behind you sees through the triangle between the arms at the top of the backswing From there the club can stay on line through impact You make so few other mistakes in your swing you can easily break 80 every time you play if you just do this

Thanks, Brandon. It's definitely the sharpest part of my game. With that said, it's not like I drain fistfuls of putts from 5-10 feet every round - this was a good day. Don't be too hard on yourself :p

I shot a 2 under 34 for 9 holes 2 years ago. Tore both of my hamstrings, recovered. Can barely break 90 on a good day now. Golf makes me sad.

He is consistent which is the main thing. Just need a slower take away keep your head down through impact and push the driver head through to 1 o'clock on the clock face and your handicap will come down. He holes out well.

How many putts do you average? And how many on a good day? You look like a sound and confident putter! Hello from Scotland

Thanks Paul! I can pull up a report on my app but I believe my average is just below 30 (which might be misleading because my home course has small greens so my GIR is a little artificially deflated - lots of putts from the fringe don't make it into that stat). I consider a good day to be 28 or fewer. My all-time low is 23.

Anyone with a 10- 15 hcp can break 80 for a career round. All you need is some luck. A long putt, a hole out, a good bounce etc. It won’t be a regular event but it’s more than possible. If the person is a sandbagger, it will happen often especially in a money game or tournament!

Hi Kim! I'm trying to put together a great putting video and it's been a challenge to distill it down to a digestible video! Here are some scattered thoughts in the interim: I came up with a game that I play at home on a practice mat that has helped me tremendously with distance control. I encourage everybody to develop a fun way to practice. With the full swing, "bad practice" is time wasted, but I think that all time spent practicing putting is time well spent. Once you're comfortable with distance control, the next most important (mechanical) aspect of putting is *starting the ball on your intended line*. There are plenty of drills to ensure you're doing this properly. Frankly, I don't do them myself :p I will share more about how I think about the technical aspect of putting in a video, but the factor superseding literally everything else is mindset. I like to say that golf is really two sports: "golf" and putting. I literally switch into a totally new mindset when on the putting green: "golf swing is over, now we get to play the putting game!" I *love* putting. I'm rarely nervous or tense over the ball on the putting green (on days that I am, I will never putt well). I think it's necessary to find a way to enjoy putting and feel confident on the putting green...even faking confidence is fine in the short-term. I've read a few books that have really helped with this. I recommend Joseph Parent, Bob Rotella, and Dave Pelz. I hope this is helpful!

Can you describe the putting game that you play at home and what kind/type of mat you have? Thanks!
@NotAScratchGolfer
@NotAScratchGolfer 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Steve! The mat I use is called the VariSpeed Putting System (so named because you can adjust the mat to run at four distinct speeds on the Stimpmeter). The game involves accumulating points for stopping the ball in different sections of the mat. Bonus points are awarded for also stopping the ball on the center line. My floor is uneven so I put less of an emphasis on the ball *finishing* on line than starting on line when I practice at home. So, the game primarily helps me dial in my feel/distance control. The last point of the game involves stopping the ball in one precise spot. It's very difficult and incidentally sharpens my mental game because it can be tedious and frustrating. I mentioned this in an earlier comment, but I find the psychological aspect of putting to be most important. Obviously some foundational technical skills are necessary, but I attribute 90% of my putting aptitude (easily the best part of my game) to my psychological approach to putting, which I'm going to try to summarize in a video soon. I hope that's useful!

@@NotAScratchGolfer thanks for such a complete and thoughtful response. I was reading all of the comments specifically to see if anyone had mentioned your putting and what your response was. Don’t think I’ve ever seen seen a player at your handicap (thought i saw you were a 5 or 6) who putts as well as you do. Saw you mentioned a potential putting video. I’d look forward to that greatly. Thx again!

@@GolfPokerTaylor No prob! I feel like I have no business whatsoever playing to my handicap but the flat stick (and often green side chipping) have helped a ton! I should mention that I don't go out and make a fistful of 10+-footers every day, nor do I expect to. I find a lot of my playing partners have unrealistic expectations out there, particularly on the putting surface. I subscribe to a theory of "you can't *hole* every putt, but you can make every putt." I think that one was from Joseph Parent but don't quote me. In any case, the point is that you should be able to commit to a line and start it on that line the vast majority of the time. Sometimes your read will be off, sometimes the rub of the green will bite you...whatever. You might not *hole* those putts. But psychologically, you can certainly "make" every putt if you've committed and executed on your plan.
