Game back on track. Solid 82!

I played with this guy who was a single digit handicap but I finally realized what it means to put pressure on someone. He came out and birdied the first hole and i bogied it. I adjusted my alignment and began swinging 90%+ and crushing drives. It put pressure on him because I was getting to the green in 2 strokes and he was struggling to keep up. When I started sinking long putts, it took him out of his game a little. I beat him by a couple strokes. He blamed it on the heat.

Biggest improvement this week was wedge play. I went back to the 56 degree for everything 75 yds and in. I hit more greens without rolling off the back. Got to work on my some things this week but I am about to break through to another level. I can feel it baby!!!!

WTG, good job and great score.

I played Saturday with a friend of mine who is a scratch golfer. I tried pretty much the same thing you did about half way through the round, backed off on my swing and tried to play smart golf. However, I had different results, he just played even better and shot 4 under.

Pretty much every round I play is like that. I play regularly with YG and he is capable of putting up a red number for any given round. It's been really good for the mental aspect of my game though -- When he is hitting all the Par 5's in 2 and driving some of the par 4's I have learned to plod along with my poke and chunk game and do the best with what I've got to work with... :laugh:

Awesome score... I wish I had some buddies who were better. They say it's better to play with people with a lower handicap than you, as it gets you to play better mentally.

I generally end up playing with people around my own, but probably because I'm in the average range.. I can play anywhere from a 10-19 on any given day!! Hahaha...

I have played with a guy who was a 2, and he played the tips and STILL reached the par 5's in 2, over me.
