Preparation for the 2016 Golf Season - Continued5

Hello, it's here, what?  The 2016 Golf Season.  

So, how'd our preparation go?

Well, to continue with our theme on how to become an 80's shooter and ... better, we hafta get back at it and share what we have found through May 31st of this year.

I, personally, have worked and worked at it. I practiced (get it) what I preached in this series. I bought the $120 range ball ticket at my local golf course.  I worked on my swing.  I visited my swing coach (they're coaches now, not instructors, ha).  I payed the $60 to be told how I hafta work on using my arms and hands from the top of my swing through impact and keeping my hands close to my body. I worked on that and worked on that and, you guessed it, worked on that.  I have seen results!!  I have, now, used up all of my practice buckets from my $120 investment, am looking to schedule my next $60 lesson and keep working.

I have played once a week and practiced my long game almost every day since our last posting in preparation for the 2016 Golf Season.  I have worked on my short game almost every day as well.  I chose to abandon the traditional putter to go with the medium-long un-anchored putter and have had much more success than my tedious hours of trying to return to the traditional putting stroke.  I JUST COULDN'T DO IT, PERIOD.  My chipping is a combination of one-handed close-in chips (yup, sorry) to the traditional pitching and chipping from longer short-game shots.  I have improved immeasurably and continue to do so as I have rekindled my love of short-game practice to my wife's chagrin.

I have improved my scoring on average to where I average about 10-over for an 18-hole round when I averaged about 15-over when I began in preparation for the 2016 Golf Season.  Not bad, but, here's the difference and challenge; What about when I hafta compete and the score means something??  Well, I have had various results and on average I add about 4 shots to my competitive rounds.  So, in competition I average about 14-over par. That's 86, yeah, 86.

Yuck, you say!!  Yeah, I've used stronger words than that in my head and they usually rhyme with "truck" or sound like "ship" if you say it just right.  Sorry.... truth.

So, what does all of this mean??

It means I am a serious golfer again.  Yup, I'm a serious golfer again and I love it.  And I hate it. Hmmm, pretty confusing and confounding, huh??

Yes and I'm gonna keep workin' on it.

How about you?

Let me know of your progress and challenges as you continue your 2016 Golf Season and I'll be back soon with further updates.

Thanks

In Him2
