I think warming up with the clubs is a bit over rated. Limber and strecthing is more importnat. just swinging a wedge with a loose grip, stretching the hammys and rotating the kness a l a Migual is usually enough.
I’d rather spend time on the practice green, especially in this weather.NAGA

I tend to agree with the limbering up, using a heavy wedge or two to get the joints and muscles warmed and flexed. The orange whip copy certainly does that after 30 swishes.
When I can I like to hit some short wedge shots, slowly increasing the distance, then hit the first tee shot a few times. It is not so good if you can’t get it right though!I played a practice 9 hole this morning. Score 80. Damn why can’t I do this during competition? No wind for a change.
two steps forward
1) birdie on the 8th when I chipped a bunker shot into the hole. I know; fluke!
2) 208 m draw shot with my Driver. Yes!!!!!! It seemed effortless.One step back
1) I hit a GIR on hole 4 ( my nemesis hole) and then 3 putted! Doh!I played a practice 9 hole this morning. Score 80. Damn why can’t I do this during competition?

Yeah I meant 40 . That reminds me of a mate’s brother -in -law who was a doctor in regional Victoria. We were visiting their town and he asked if he could join us in a game. He said he scored around 70. I thought he must be good. Then he added if he played the other 9 holes , it would be double that. He wasn’t kidding.

I played in the comp this morning. It took 4 hours, waiting for every hit. The group in front were slowwwwww!
I find it difficult to maintain concentration under these playing conditions.Two steps forward:
1) I feel confident with my clubs now. New wedges arrived yesterday.
2) pitching into the greens was good today. it is too soggy to land short and expect any bounce at all.One step back
1) tee shots are hitting the fairways more often,but still lacking distance .I played in the comp this morning. It took 4 hours, waiting for every hit. The group in front were slowwwwww!

1) tee shots are hitting the fairways more often,but still lacking distance .Whats better for your scoring?
Hit more fairways but lack a little distance?
Or hit it further but miss fairways?

4 hours for 9 or for all 18?

For 18, but it felt like 6 hours having to wait for every shot

That obvious, but I want both distance and accuracy! Don’t we all ?

length over width is the million dollar question
I’ve got neither, that’s why I need a run up

10 degrees, soggy underfoot and drizzling rain, but no wind. Scored 91 (again ) with one penalty stroke for a lost ball.
Two steps forward
1) pitching onto the green was better today. I used 9i, PW, GW with partial shots and SW and LW . The Cleveland CBX2 wedges worked in the softer condtions.
2) Scrambling back into play and scoring after mishit shots was good.One step back
1) Miss -hits possibly from me trying to make up for lack of distance. Over hitting resulted in 10 shots. Club up and swing easy stupid!3 users liked this post.
