sigh

yesterday I had a tough time on the course

although it was my first time golfing I felt like i did absolutely horrible I shot a 89 but the thing is i hit 14 fairways had 2 penalties but my big trouble was my putting and my lob wedge... When ever I go golfing my putting and lob wedge are amazing could this be because im not used to the type of greens i was playing where there is no checking at all and are really hard and fast... I dont know i had 38 putts which is horrible and im usually around the 26-28 range... Is this just an off day where i will be shooting high 70's low 80's when i go back out.

first time you have ever golfed?


and just some words of advice "The guy who is playing good is only one round from shooting his worst, while the guy who is playing bad is just one round from playing good"

keep it up it'll come back.

nope just the first time i golfed this year... I was just mad cuz usually even if i do miss the green my wedge gets me up and most of the time i have the 10 feet and in putts pretty good.... I guess I cant be to mad for it being my first round of golf this year.thanks for the advice.

short game is always the first to go and last to return.. your warmups at this time of year (if early for you) should be more lob wedges and pitches.. see how it helps.

You should try to use the "range swing" when on the course. Don't over think the landing and the placement.. you don't on the range.

From 50 yards you know where to land it.. so take the general target and use a range type swing.. free and most importantly, relaxed.

You will easily see how you grip the club twice and tight on the course, reducing your feel and control.

I find I do better when...
I line up, then look at the pin for 4 full seconds.. it's cements the location of the hole (spatial meemory) so I can be more accurate.

Keep your head STILL and relax your hands. A good swing and WATCH the club hit the ball.... then look up. I find this is a big help with short irons as well.

You scared me for a second there!

You hit every fairway? I'm doing great if I hit 10.
