Back to the short game

It never ceases. My full swing starts to come around and then my short game goes to hell. I 3 jacked twice today in 9holes. Back to back holes, one 8ft. uphill, one 5ft. downhill. My chipping is not very good either. Hit a few good near full 60* wedges but anything inside of about full is off.

Man I really wrenched my wrist today too. On the first hole I hit into this fescue mound. Took a full swing with a PW and think I sprained my wrist a bit.

Re: Back to the short game

Same thing for me. When my driving is off, my short game and putting is on. Really need to control my driver and keep the ball in play.

Re: Back to the short game

I pretty much have the same issue. I can never have a 'good day' with all aspects of my game. One day its my driving, hitting fairways no problem but my approach shots are always off line, or short, etc. Other days its my Short game, dropping putts and chips are close but i am hitting 3 off of every tee it seems.

If i could ever get all aspects of my game to come together it would be a miracle.

Re: Back to the short game

Yeah, it's quite sickening. I shouldn't be more than 1-2 over par for 9, ever. I didn't really care today though. Was trying to test how agressive I could play with the swing changes. Hit 13* for 2nd shots into par 5's from over 250out and trying to belt driver inside of 100 on a couple other par 4's. I didn't really have any "standard" iron shots on any holes. I was hitting wedges or chipping out then hitting wedges, lol. I did hit #9 in reg. from 205 with a nice hybrid shot. Almost converted the bird.

Re: Back to the short game

Yesterday was the first day where my short game came back in about 1-2 weeks. While my driver has been doing well during that time, and probably even it's best in a very long time yesterday, I expect it will probably go to crap today.

I think it was just one of those days where the planets lined up.
