Congratulations! Stay with it. Good course management is something you can apply every round, no matter how good or bad you're swinging the club that particular day.

congrats!

If it's a match play I'll take them because it's a gesture from your opponent, so it seems "gentlemanly" to accept. But generally I don't do gimmes.

🎯

And the day after I say this I shoot my worrst round in two years. Just a friendly reminder that "it" might be "schwerescheisse" and that is A-OK.

lol, so true!

Yeah I don’t have a stress free club in my entire bag!

Hey man, my first rule of stress free golf is scribble out hole 1! Whether I play it good or bad, I always use the first hole as my warm up because hitting on the course mentally, is always different than the range!

Breakfast ball in play

Perfect

short game is the best game. i put in about 4 to 1 in hours compared to the range and the course. not only fun, but allows for deep concentration with a big shag bag (about 6 dozen balls). it becomes almost like a meditation.

@@spartanical Sadly there aren't many short game areas near me that allow chipping. There is always putting. So I have been using the course when I am by myself to practice a chip or two around the holes while playing. That said, I am getting better chipping off matts at the range. I am especially working on chips that are 40-70 yards out. I feel fine right off the green, but the half-swing shots is what I am really working on now. Again, fun to learn and figure things out.

@@pandersonnike at the beginning of COVID when all the courses shut down, i bought a little 2x2 mat and went to the park. i would just chip there over and over into those chipping nets that you can lay down anywhere. it can also be done in a backyard or even in the house. and with Kirkland's high quality golf balls, you can get 4 dozen for less than $50.

​@@pandersonnikeSame. All the putting greens and Chipping areas near me have shut down. So it's either facilities at a golf club (which are only for members usually) or the driving range. When realistically as someone getting back into golf after over 10 years, all I want to do is putt and chip for hours at a time.

Yes love chipping! Have course near me that has 4 greens you can chip to and I spend about 4hrs a week chipping and always use one club my sand wedge

Congrats!

@@ICCman Thanks!

Almost certain that the change was from being able to relax and take his time filming instead of being rushed and bullied by marshalls and karens.

You will smash 110 playa. It won’t know what has hit it.

Nice playa good job! Shirts will help too believe it. And yes inside 120 yards is all there is to it!

I can see your comments finally!

@@GolfSidekick 💪🏻🙏🏻🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 cool me happy with that. Thx sir 🙏🏻

Beast!

@@GolfSidekickthank you for helping me reach my potential!!

Or because Dustin Jackson has one in the bag too

Beast

@@GolfSidekick not quite beast more like beast like. I could almost hear your voice asking me if I really wanted to take that shot. lol. I cut strokes off today by focusing on the largest part of the green instead of the pin. This way of the playa really works. Love it. And I totally slowed my swing down and focused on making it smoother and I lost about 10-20 yards per club but my accuracy more than made up for the lack of distance. Distance will come with practice. Thank you, Playa.

8 is my roll up club as well... Goid call

This man is a ball striker. It takes lots of reps to develop consistency with stabby high lofted chip shots but if you have it in the bag more power to ya. Most of us just find it easier, and importantly more repeatable, to club up and almost take a putting stroke to just get the ball rolling towards the hole. Go low my brotha ⛳️!

@@_warren6659 you are right on the reps needed. I have done many times where i miss behind the ball and it goes blading across the green or chunked way short. Pin position, green layout and ball setup determine if i hit that shot or P wedge bump and run.

I had to order my 7w online. Have found some used ones in stores or on eBay. I find it much easier/forgiving than hybrids.

I've been having the same problem. I play for the draw and I say to myself..."how can I fade the ball when my clubface is closed? Now I know the feeling of casting...sometimes my arms get too far behind my body and last second they go after the ball to try to save the swing which usually ends up in a bad shot. I think part of the answer to this is to make sure you are rotating rather than more of a lateral motion. Now if you have read this far I think part of the answer to solving the hooking problem next time you are out on the range is focus on your swingpath. Don't look at the ball but look at the blur of your club as you hit the ball. Make sure it is going inside to out rather than outside to in.

How do I get on that list?

This course is expensive but it includes so much. The rate is posted at their website. If walking, and before caddy tip, golf in Thailand normally will cost from US$25 to US$50 depending on course. Phuket will be more as will the "prestige" courses everywhere.

This is $120

Thanks guys. Beautiful courses in Thailand !
