My Stats 6.28.10

So, I missed every fairway on the back 9 which killed me but i still managed to play a decent game. I shot a 78 which was -6 my handicap. I had to take a few penalty strokes due to my inability to aim at the fairway at the moment. Left, right... right... left. You never know. I also missed a few short putts. Lucky I was able to recover when i was 2 fairways over due to my iron and short game play. Stat's below.






I think i need to strengthen my grip, specifically my bottom hand. I have a neutral to weak grip because i'm so use to snapping my wrists... I'm slowing it down. I also need to focus on drilling down with my following shoulder and throw my hands "out and up" at impact vs. "down and thru" resulting in an over-the-top high fade/slice. I've been watching some instructional video's posted below. I'm going to go to the range today and just work on fairway hittin'. I have a round at TCP tomorrow. No broken windows please!!

My Stats 6.24.10

I just now started using this app for my iPhone called GolfShot which allows me to track all of my stats. It's a pretty good program. I only have one round logged in the stats you see below so i'll expect them to improve as I improve.





Somethings going on with my swing. I'm having a hell of a time hitting the fairway, and an even harder time aiming. I go threw periods where it's so simple to get the ball were i want it to go... then it be comes so difficult to get it to go even in the general direction i want it to go. I've been practicing a lot to identify where this inconsistency is coming from. Short game is deadly... thank god.

Me: The beginning... the mission

I have a 4 day tournament at TCP at the end of July with my Father. I've been hitting up the par three course a few days a week to dial in my short game. It's dialed in. My main focus will switch to hitting fairways the week leading up to the tourney. When my 290+ yard drives are a few degrees offline... the strokes really add up. It's an ego thing, i have such a hard time slowing down my driver. On this road to scratch... this is something i'll need to overcome.
