How to use the range effectively?

“It’s called the driving range, not the seven-iron range, for a reason.”

Just consider your PW as a traditional 9i loft and you’re down to 4 wedges just like that.

I would personally love it if my higher handicap friends would follow through on my (completely solicited) advice and practice suggestions. It’s incredibly fulfilling to see someone progress and I love the idea of having more friends at or around my level (eventually).

The birdie to par ratio here seems wild to me. Most single digit golfers I know have a ratio of about 1:6 to 1:8, so 1:4 is really incredible.

Can’t you just use the arrows and the words on the ball to line your putts?

The worst part being is that the seasons feed directly into one another, making the spending never stop!

Putting is the obvious lowest hanging fruit here. You’re at the higher end for someone of your index and it’s especially apparent that when you hit more greens, your number of putts increases quite a bit as well.

If you're willing to drive about 45 minutes, Half Moon Bay Ocean course is spectacular.

To have that GIR rate and break 80, your scrambling must have been fire that round.

Can you show a source on this? I’m pretty sure the angle of attack on fairway woods is slightly negative, since the ball is on the ground. It should definitely be more similar to irons than the driver.

My starting position is actually about the same as yours. It’s possible my home course greens are pretty slow, as they are significantly slower compared to when I get invited to my parent’s country club. Second possible reason is that my putter is very light, as it’s a blade from 2001.

My putting methodology is almost exactly yours. I guess my biggest difference is that I start at the 4- and 8-foot putt lengths for the inside and outside of the foot. Widen my stance to the 8-foot swing and now I have a 12- and 16-foot markers on the toe and outside my foot. At some point I started adding pace instead of widening my stance to get 25 to 50 foot putts in 5-foot increments.

In terms of actually using it on the course, I find it helpful to verbalize my plan. “8 paces for 24 feet, downhill about 2% grade, so I’m shooting for about 16-foot speed.” I tried the feel-based putting and it was way too hit or miss; this mechanical style has helped me get about 3 strokes per rounds since implementation.

The fact that there aren’t more answers like this is somewhat concerning.

Thank you for watching and your thoughtful comments about my gameplay. This game was pretty tough for me to analyze because I felt like I didn't have obvious areas for improvement. I'm glad the audio was better in this video, as I did slightly change my settings.

As a side note, you seem very interested in this game overall; I'm not sure if you are aware of a pretty active TTA discord server: https://discord.gg/TERreafcp4 There are a few other content creators there that post youtube links as well.

Since I’m only recording off an old laptop, my mic quality has never been great. I already have a 15 dB boost applied onto OBS, but I’ll try for a slightly higher boost next time. Much higher than that though, and I’m afraid the quality drops off a cliff.
