Hit a bunker, pitch out better than spieth's drive. That's how you even things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsmarydu Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Kooch 1 back still. I've actually gotta get dressed and help hubby get this carpet back into his truck. Seriously? It's a major final. I'm bucking the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradeTheBeal! Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Speith taking a new approach to the game. Meanwhile, some Chinese dude is sitting in the clubhouse crushing cantaloupe and prosciutto and laughing his ass off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RemoveSnyder Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Speith is like ****ing gonna drop the ball inside an RV motor home. What the hell is going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RemoveSnyder Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 He actually got a decent shot off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradeTheBeal! Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Then Speith damn near aces the 14th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busch1724 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Yeah, great shot. He's mentally tough. One thing after the 12th hole at Augusta last year, he birdied a couple of holes after that. That often gets overlooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long n Left Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 That was just filthy. Lose a 3 shot lead on 13 after hitting one almost off the planet, then just play the next 4 holes in 5 under to slam that door shut. Jordan Spieth is inhuman. Gonna be some crowds here in Charlotte in a couple weeks to see if he can grab the career slam at 24. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoony Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I shot an 85 Sunday, which is really good for me. Im normally low 90s, high 80s on a good day. I have been really working on my driver and my short game. If I could do away with 3 putts i think I could hit 77 or 78, not kidding. It is ridiculous how many times im on in 2 and end up with a 5. Pretty much every par 4 ugh. Then, i always have that one meltdown hole where everything goes off the rails 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshile Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 i was 3 putting constantly until i found the right putter. now i 2 put regularly, except when my approach is terrible and puts me really far away. i don't know how you find the right putter though. i sort of lucked into it. now if i could just get the ball there.... i haven't played much this year cause of the house stuff... hoping to take a few days off this fall and get out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liken it to shooting free throws. Nobody is born a great free throw shooter, it takes hundreds of shots a day to hone the mechanics and eye, and the best shooters have the same routine EVERY time. Same with putting. I am by no means a great putter, very streaky to be honest, but I have a set routine, and I stick with it EVERY time. I rarely 3 putt. I also practice my putting. For every hour I put in on the range, I spend at least 1/2 hour on my short game, more on putting, because you will hit more balls with your putter than any other club. Every stroke counts the same. Putting is also the one golf shot you can do in your house. Do it! Hone your routine and stroke on your carpet. I'm also in total agreement with tshile. Find the right putter for you. Go to a golf store (Golf Galaxy, PGA Superstore, Edwin Watts) near you and get fitted, or just try putters until you find one that you hit far more consistently on line and the proper distance. Oh....and PRACTICE! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busch1724 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 True and spend at least 20-30 minutes chipping and putting before each round if you have the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh....and PRACTICE! I bought one of those little astroturf roll-out carpets with the hole at the end...then bought another so they'd go the whole hallway and I could use them end to end...cats tore 'em up in the long run, but they helped me...and my carpet had indentation design, so "reading it" was never entirely right...I'd leave it down so the cats would walk on it this way and that, making marks...try to read around those. It's kinda like learning to eat with chopsticks. Practice at home, where you don't have people watching you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh....and PRACTICE! I appreciate the advice and I get it. EVERYTHING in life is about practice. Math, learning a language, public speaking, golf. That said, i actually have a decent putting stroke. I struggle with two things, neither of which are helped by putting at home. Reading a putt and lag. I swear i would rather be 100 yards out than have a 40 foot putt that starts uphill or finishes downhill. Im lucky to land one 15 feet away. Or a 20 foot putt over 2 feet of fringe. I never have any idea how hard to hit it. Its also fun when the greens dry out over the course of the round and then are flash watered 11 hours ago, tshile said: i was 3 putting constantly until i found the right putter. now i 2 put regularly, except when my approach is terrible and puts me really far away. i don't know how you find the right putter though. i sort of lucked into it. now if i could just get the ball there.... i haven't played much this year cause of the house stuff... hoping to take a few days off this fall and get out there Funny you mention that, i got a new putter for my bday and really like it. Have only used it twice rhough. Its an Odyssey Works i found on clearance... oversize grips. I really like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
