I am actually trying to work on improving how I read greens. for some reason i am having a tough time right now reading greens corectly, which also effects my putting and score.

After working on way too many things about my swing like swing plane and lag, I've finally decided to focus most of my attention on just tempo. I've come to the conclusion that if I can maintain a good tempo throughout a round, it will put me in a good impact position 95% of the time. I've decided that's the cause of most of my problems, whether it's a pull or a slice.

Other than that, I think I am really going to focus on the short game this season. That's the only way I'm going to consistently shoot in the low 80's and in the 70's. Anything outside of 6 feet I am bound to miss. If I could sink 1 in every 4 putts from 6-10 feet I'd be happy. Everything has been just a cup or two off lately. I'm close, but that's not good enough in this game.

Good question. I've been concentrating most on my short game lately. Spending time in the basement practicing both my pitching and chipping strokes with plastic balls. It's a lot of trial and error for me. Especially when it comes to club selection on the course.

Earlier this year it was getting off the tee.

Next up will be staying focused for each shot through the entire round.
This is what I'm working on. I've found that if I'm playing really well and I get really excited, too excited. If I'm only like one or two over my mind racing at the thought of shooting 73 or 74. Next thing I know I make triple bogey and I'm no where near 74.

Exhibit A: Yesterday I had a three foot putt for eagle on this long par 5. It was unreal. I hit my drive into a sandtrap and so I was about 240 out and I hit my 4 wood out of the bunker, over water, on to the green to three feet. I was so darn excited about that massive shot, I missed the putt for eagle!! ugh!! Birdie wasn't too bad, but I wasn't focused on the short putt.

Geez...where to begin. I'm hoping the new driver puts an end to my woes off the tee. Putting has always been my strong point. I average around 36 putts a round. Hopefully that consistency continues. chipping has been very hit or miss lately. But my woods play has been HORRIBLE. I just cant seem to hit a clean 3w recently. Its extremely frustrating because that was the club I could always count on last year. Funny how that works...

I need to work on my putting. When I hit more GIRs, my putts per round get too high. This is because if I get the GIR, I am presumably further from the hole than had I missed the green and chipped up. When I am stiking the ball well, my putts are approximately 35-37 a round. I want to cut that down a few strokes. I am going to spend the next couple weeks focusing on putting, particularly putts from 10-15 feet.

Working on consistant ball striking with the driver, and better accuracy with my mid/long irons. Interstingly, I was struggling with putting/chipping, so I had focused on that for about 1 1/2 weeks. The last two rounds I was Mr. Up and Down. Which revealed the former weaknesses in my game...

My driver swing and my putting. When you can't hit it consistently off the tee or make putts it puts a strain on your short game. The good news is my short game has been getting better simply because I have to use it so much lately. This past week both driver and putter have started to behave themselves better so there is hope for me yet.

Pretty happy with my drives- short but straight. Short game is not bad either. So its the mid game shots I am working on- especially from the rough. Both the actual shots and my course management from that position. If I get get that sorted I'll go back to the driver and see about more distance.

For me I'm trying to work on keeping focus so I can avoid the blow up holes. I've also been working the birdie balls in the back yard for improved short game. I really want to break 90 but the blow up holes are killing me. I went 7 on a par 4 then 5 on a par 3 and 7 on another par 4 all not hard or long. So another thing is getting over the first hole jidders.
