The Sand Trap: for Players, Hackers and Duffers

[Warp daddy]

I change it too much.

That could be part of the problem,I know the early season we usually need time to find the optimal ball position for the set up.

I'm thinking that With your skill the swing isn't the problem nor is the grip

If you are getting 218 off the tee in the fairway your drive is not the problem. And from the scores you post I don't see the problem. You carry cheese with you?

Hey I'm competitive by nature and practice frequently and was pissed with driving distance early on. So I expect good results .

I should practice more but hitting balls isn’t as much fun as playing and walking around the course.
I usually just swing a few clubs, take a couple putts and then hit the first drive.
It definitely would be more fun if I could hit my irons like I used to. Now they just go straight but not high.
Put a sand trap in front of the green and I’ll be init.
Coulda been a contender...

Yeah i hear ya , i practice in my yard fortunately i can hit most clubs there , for the the distance clubs i have some really nice practice balls from Callaway that at least give you a fairly good sense of how things are going .

I pre stretch at home for 15 minutes then Once at the course i take 10 warmup swings to loosen up at the first tee , then just tee off , after that no practice swings at the tee boxes ...

yeah im weird

What happened to the baby pool? I like the idea but don't want to tear my lawn apart. Besides I keep it cut at 4.75 and it's thick. I thought about using a Matt but those things mess me up. I end up chunking things after I practice off a mat. I hit the range 45 minutes prior to t time.

t’s a paw patrol kiddy pool we used when the hound had pups to keep them in a coral.
Sprang a leak but patched it up with gorilla tape.
We’ve been shaving the yard where the tee boxes are. Have yet ho play kiddy pool.
Chipping and putting ain’t the problem. No 3 putts today in the heat & made a couple longer ones.
Birdied the 2 longest holes and won $4 but still sucked.
Got there early and actually tried to practice irons.
Made 4 doubles from <150 from the middle of the fairway.
Coulda shoulda been a contender.
Might have to take an iron lesson if I can work up the courage.
