  • Figured it out during last round of the year....go figure

    Was by myself this morning at conestoga. Hit one ball in the trees on a dogleg and had to punch out. I took a narrow stance and swung 3/4 at it and it went dead nuts straight with a penetrating flight.....hmmmm....so now at the 100 marker I try the same swing....lands 5 feet. I tried this on the following par 3.....9ft. I couldn't believe it. Next tee with a 2 iron dead straight again with a little fade from the wind. 3iron into the green again dead straight.

    It continued like this for the rest of the back 9. Finished with a 79. Only wish I found this on the first tee.....good way to end it. Just gotta remember it for next year

    Making good contact is so important. Just have to remember for next year.
    If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.

      We always find it the last round.

      I've played like donkey snot for months. Made at least 100ft of putts the other day but played just awful.

      Looked at a video of my swing, went to the range and found IT in two minutes. Just gotta remember it for next year.
      I like big putts and I cannot lie
      You other putters can't deny

                I wish I had someone there to take video so I could remember what I did

                  There's this stuff called "paper", and things called pencils or pens.

                  Of course there's probably also a "paper / pen" app out there

                  The narrow(er) stance you took probably removed some excessive body motion you had. And / or forced you to slow down / get smoother, better balance.

                  "Swing within yourself" / "85%" are cliches for a reason

                      Fuddy says this on the 18th tee almost every time we play. Doh !

                      I will have to get him one of these pencil things you speak of , in anticipation for the next round

                        With that attitude, you'll be lucky if there is a next round!!!!

                          More or less did the same thing a few weeks back ... last game of the season shot 79 at Cambridge GC. If putting a was a smidge better that day .... hmmm.

                          Enjoy the Winter Months

                            Write it down on a piece of paper and put it in your tee pouch. I did this a few years ago and its still there. Great refresher in the spring.

                              Went out today just to see if I had retained the magic....Shot a 73.....would have been 2 under on the back if I hadn't tripled the last hole....such a piss off but glad to see the change stuck
