what hole numbers have these that are blind?

---

Holes 3, 4, 7, 12, 16 come to mind for me. For most 4 and 16 driver is too long, but more important on the approach shot than anything. Like someone else mentioned, don’t go flag hunting and stay out the native grass unless you riding around with a 4wheeler w/100gal of deet

Wish I had time to play more, only about half the rounds I had the last two seasons due to child being born. I’ve come full circle on declaring outright war against double bogeys. Just can’t seem to put together back to back decent 9’s last couple times out.

1. Not standing too close 2. ensuring swing path is from the inside 3. Corrected lie angle have all helped me.

As others have mentioned about coming from the inside; for me if I don’t deliberately feel that, I will 100% hit it out to the right. Having a correct lie angle to your swing/setup is something to maybe investigate. Once I got mine corrected I became more consistent with 4 thru 6iron. I usually can get away with not coming far enough inside on shorter irons.

getting paralyzed by analysis

Paralysis by analysis is a real thing for sure. Don’t abandon a routine though. Keep your routine and deal with the outcome for each shot. Your most important shot is the next one. When I play under this mantra I’ve had my best scoring days, and actually am shocked that I was not purely focused on my golf swing, but was hell bent on dealing with the outcome of each shot as the round progressed.

For me it’s all about what gives me more confidence in the shot. I’ve had sets with a GW as part of the set, but I’ve always circled back to having my GW separate along with my wedges. I mostly use mine for 115-120 in and also chip around the greens with it. I currently keep an older 588 RTX 50deg because I learned early on with it; chipping, pitching, even awkward lies etc. as well as full shots with it. Use what is most comfortable for your swing and setup, that can change with time.

Thanks

Here’s a few pictures of the common that’s coming in this year. This is after 1” cut.

I can’t see that image for some reason

I try to mow every two days at 1”

I started reel mowing last year and got to where I was keeping the lawn around 1” to 1.5” consistently. I do use my rotary mower too, but I’ve noticed the common that is creeping in responds faster when it’s mowed shorter. I wonder if this could have played a factor as to why I’m seeing more common this season than ever? Now I want to it to take over, just need to put some things in practice to help it really take off. These warmer days certainly have woken it up to say the least. Brought HOC back down to around 1” this past week and have seen significant improvement in growth. Will try to post some pics at some point.

Appreciate the link, I will order a couple small bags for some overseeing and fixing bare spots. From the product description seems like it would be a great solution for me.
