Go for it Lester, having used the system here in Australia for many years now I've noticed your handicap moves are a lot more fluid.

Also, I’ve been able to play a few rounds now with my new Sub70 irons and I love them!! Swing is still warming up as I don’t get to play much until July, but they’re great!

Like the sound of it, but 20 rounds in 20 days, I think you'll be worn out before you get half way through. Good luck though 🤞

@@berniebarnesgolf Have you had any success with that "shaft level/parallel" stuff?
@rowdyroddy519Ай бұрын
also.. I got down to a +4 with a terrible short game. You can get to scratch with the struggles... you just have to hit lots of fairways and greens... which goes back to the shaft level/parallel stuff. ;) *** here is something to try with your short game stroke, that has been very good for my own woes... keep the butt of your grip pointing to your right hip, from address, right thru the back swing, and follow thru. You won't get any forwards shaft lean, and will be able to work the bounce. Effective for chipping with low lofts and short pitches, and pitches out to 25 - 30 yrds or so with high lofts. Was a game changer for me. Cheers.

@@berniebarnesgolf Yes..middle of season is a hectic time to incorporate new things. Just keep it in mind if things get going pear shaped. Having the club in the right orientation at level/parallels can make up for when the body action isn't spot on.... and your misshits will produce better results. Hitting fairly good "bad shots" is as important as hitting good shots to drop those last couple hcp strokes ;) Cheers Lester.

Bernie, I like the series, but 20 rounds in 20 days sounds like too much, both physically and mentally. I say take your time so you can enjoy the journey (and avoid an injury from overuse). Cheers!

I’m interested in what your going to do Bernie as this system I think stinks because you’ve got good scores going off and it doesn’t really mate if you have a decent round as you handicap can still go up even if you’ve not scored lower than the score dropping off

I get what you mean David and it will be interesting to see how many times my handicap changes in those 20 rounds.
