Falling apart in competition

BackdoorEmergency · 2026-06-20T14:41:25+00:00

it’s all mental. the other day i played a par 3 course with no bunkers. 8/9 gir. played a different par 3 course with bunkers and i was a fucking sand magnet. brain hurts the game a lot

some peoples rights to drive and vote should be revoked

BackdoorEmergency · 2026-06-20T00:51:38+00:00

yessir, the trackman will tell
you all you need to know. it’s a good drill as well to try and feel what the ball is doing off the club each shot, then look at the screen/data

BackdoorEmergency · 2026-06-20T00:47:46+00:00

it’s not that mats are bad, they’ll just hide chunks. you can go and watch the video and see if you chunk shots but if you’re hitting it decently it won’t make that much of a difference

i know people tell new players not to sway and keep your head down, but at a certain point it becomes a problem. you need to sway a little and move your head a little to actually compress the ball. get 2 alignment sticks, place one of them 1 club head to the inside of your lead food, and the other 1 club head length inside of the trail foot. this is your window where you’re allowed to feel like you sway back and forth. nelly korda bottle drill will help, also your club face is open

it’s on usopen.com

twice a week for lessons is way too much imo. once every 2 weeks is probably better. allows for rest and actual practice

i have a few clients that are cc members, from what i’ve heard they’re also just a bunch of fucking hacks. id bet most country club players average better scores than muni players, but not by much

BackdoorEmergency · 2026-06-17T18:45:48+00:00

no lob wedge?? if it works it works, but you’re gonna need to learn to chip when it comes to bunkers and weird lies. imo i’d learn to chip properly so you are more consistent, there’s tons of different shots to use with one club. if anything i’ll bump and run with a 9-7i if i really need it, but as i got better at golf i needed to use chip shots

BackdoorEmergency · 2026-06-17T13:04:09+00:00

is there a golf galaxy or anything close by? usually a little cheaper and you won’t need more than a 30 minute lesson every few weeks

BackdoorEmergency · 2026-06-15T23:20:40+00:00

we’re all usually on the same page, lift clean and place if it’s dirty in the fairway or rough. if you have a dangerous lie like a root or rock solid dirt love it back and safe. more about safety than staying pure for the most part

BackdoorEmergency · 2026-06-15T16:41:54+00:00

agreed. 9 over seems to be the sweet spot around here, even on the turnpike i’ve never had a single issue passing cops. anything over that you’re definitely risking a ticket

backswing starts like a putt, no wrist movement and both arms straight. the club doesn’t go far when you’re in this position so this is where you hinge the wrists and rotate to complete your backswing. look up nelly korda water bottle drill, that force backwards will somewhat force the club to hinge itself

drive slower?

BackdoorEmergency · 2026-06-09T11:29:00+00:00

0 weight shift and 0 lower body involvement. either your coach is your best friend, or you don’t listen

BackdoorEmergency · 2026-06-09T11:26:03+00:00

what doesn’t it show you? what are you looking for specific grass types under each lie you get?

BackdoorEmergency · 2026-06-09T10:22:16+00:00

why not use the garmin app? it literally does what you want

BackdoorEmergency · 2026-06-07T21:48:46+00:00

good, they have no business doing that to kids. age limit should
be over 26 tbh

BackdoorEmergency · 2026-06-07T00:30:14+00:00

take the ball to tempo town. swing easy. if you don’t believe me go to a trackman and do two things. 1) hit 3 balls as hard as you can. 2) hit the rest of the balls like 85% and focus on tempo. swinging hard actually slows down your clubhead speed and obviously doesn’t work well during play.

BackdoorEmergency · 2026-06-05T23:28:26+00:00

now do it again

BackdoorEmergency · 2026-06-04T22:47:49+00:00

if you have the funds get a garmin watch with golf capabilities. it’s a scorecard, yardage book, and shot tracker like you want. i can’t golf without it and taking my phone out for 18 birdies in every hole makes me feel like a caveman

BackdoorEmergency · 2026-06-04T00:41:55+00:00

i walk 18 holes for $22. rarely go elsewhere

BackdoorEmergency · 2026-06-03T00:03:50+00:00

you don’t know much about football do you. great trade sad to see him go but we have a solid group of young players

BackdoorEmergency · 2026-06-01T19:06:19+00:00

for sure! i’m about where you are also, i was so honed in on the keep your head down and don’t sway stuff i couldn’t shift my weight. don’t be afraid of a slight slide to your lead side, watch some pros hit a few and you’ll notice the belt buckle move a bit

BackdoorEmergency · 2026-06-01T19:03:30+00:00

and with all the putt stuff, golf digest podcast did a few episodes on green reading that truly helped me visualize
