How did you shoot today at Golf

DonM I realized that yesterday was maybe my best driving day ever. And being a scramble, I was swinging 100 percent. This is not supposed to be the way.

I think it was more about a different mental approach to the shots.

The idea that there are no real consequences when hitting a bad shot in a scramble is freeing.

garyt1957 That must be it. I was in the zone. Every drive was 90th percentile or better. That’s nerdy, but it’s the best way to describe them. There has to be a way to get there again.

DonM Have you tried recreational drugs? Not completely joking, I suffer from the same problem and wonder if that helps?

KCee Hah, no that’s not me.

DonM There has to be a way to get there again.

I suggest reading, believing and trying to implement Bob Rotella’s books ( his philosophy).
Get out of your own way basically.

Wow!!!!

KCee I tried CBD for tournaments to see if it would relax me. Jury is out. I think it might have helped a bit.

DonM Tell yourself you have a mulligan in your pocket every time you tee it up?

I went around my little course 3x. My last time I did keep score, I went 4 over with 1 birdie. My ball striking was better today. I was not always flushing my iron shots, bit a lot of them were very well struck. That was happening most of today. My 1st tee shot this morning was about 155 yard carry 8 iron. I didn't feel like I was even trying.. it was nice.
Back to my last round, I hit my 5 iron on #6 from the back tee box, hit a nice little fade into the breeze, that put me in the center of the fairway and about 70 yards off the green.
My tee shot on 8 put me 3 feet from the hole for a birdie, that was my one birdie. My tee shot on 9 was a beautiful high flushed 5 iron that the wind caught and dropped just short of the green. I was a great 3 rounds, some fantastic shots, some not so good shots, a lot of good company.

garyt1957 Nice looking, not cheap for us visitors.

First round from the back tees for the year today - a 'best 2 Stableford scores from 4' rather than an individual strokeplay competition, but still a bit of a change to be playing from all the way back (particularly as the course is still playing relatively long - not warm enough yet to get fairways and greens cut down to where they'll be in a few weeks - was down to the mid-30s overnight, although more like 50ish by late morning when I was playing).

The start was a bit scrappy - four bogeys in the first five, although it is a tough start to the round (three tough par 4s and a long par 3) - but I started to hit better shots after that. A misclub on 10 cost me a shot, but I hit a lot of really nice approach shots - had 7 greens in regulation in a row before being a few inches off the edge of the last green in 2, and these were some long approach shots (short hybrid from 180 on 13, 3-wood to 18 feet from 194 on 14, long hybrid out of the rough from 205 to 25 feet on 15, 3-wood from 200ish to 18 feet on 17, long hybrid from 205 to 35 feet on 18). I ended up with a 73 for the round (5 over), with the team having 79 points (equivalent to -7) - respectable, although not competitive with 86 points leading

(For what it's worth, the 3-wood that I'm using at the moment was a bit of a happy accident - saw a Titleist TSI3 15° head on an eBay auction about to end a few weeks back, and managed to get it for £75, then saw a Diamana Blueboard shaft (B-series - not the Plus that's a common stock shaft in Titleist woods) with Titleist adaptor for just over £30. Put the two together, and I have a club that seems to work really well for me...)
