this morning I,worked on my putting for an hour & this afternoon,I,worked on my flop shots for an hour.

now that it has been nice out up here in CT, i have been going to a Golf Club down the street from my work everyday, just hitting the putting green. it's free, and if you take a friend or co-worker, you can get some challenges going! i have been working on chipping. 45 min a day during lunch breaks really shows during rounds!

I just went out to my bunker for some sand practice. The first couple of warm up short shots went fine. Then I went for a longer shot and skulled it. What's up??? Hmmmm It would appear that only about an inch of the sand has thawed and I ran into the block of ice that was hidden below. OK, back to TV golf.

i practice putting in my carpeted apt... it even has a brake! i putted all winter last year and it paid off. my putting strokes went down considerably! but still practice each put like on the course!
I also now practice chipping into a net my wife got me for Christmas!

I just got a hitting mat for my basement. Along with an old game system I had about 7 years ago in the elementary days, I can practice all the time now.

I have a huge new soccer complex near my work. I go there at lunch with my scope, some cones, and a plan. I continually range my clubs as I work on my swing. My home course is just another 2 minutes down the road from there so I can mix in putting practice if anyone's out on the fields. I just had to convince the City Parks dude that I was hitting "into" and not "from" the fields. So far so good, it's very convenient. Still I usually go to the course if anyone's out there. Outta sight outta mind ya know?

Three days ago I bought a kettlebell and recieved my copy of Hardstyle Golf. I have been doing the workouts and today I played and I shot longer on every club by 5 to 10 yards. I over shot the green a couple of times because of it! I highly recommend doing these workouts. Even if you don't want to shell out the $97 for the workout video, get yourself a kettlebell and do "kettlebell swings" with it. The difference is dramatic!

Heading to the driving range tomorrow. Working on driver, 4 and 5 iron off the tee, and bunker play.

The group description says to write your practice so here I go: Today, I'm hitting the range and later I will continue reading "Peak Performance Golf" by Patrick Cohn. Tomorrow, hittin' the range at 8:30am and then playing 18 at Topstone in S. Windsor, CT. I'm trying to fix my "power fade" *cough* slice *cough*. Ben Hogan's "5 Fundamentals" helped a lot but I still need to be more consistent. For example, last round I played, I shot my 3I on a par3 183yds and landed the ball 3 feet from the pin. Next hole, I sliced my 3W and 2IH into the woods. :^/:30am and then playing 18 at Topstone in S. Windsor, CT. I'm trying to fix my "power fade" *cough* slice *cough*.

Over the course of the next three days I'm having estimates done to have a 400-500 sqft putting green installed in the back yard- my putter may need regripped in the near future...

Went golfing for first time yesterday. Did pretty well, all straight only a few off the fairway but my putting sucked which is strange.. When you're looking at a putt what would you suggest isthe best way to see the lie? and what is an appropr. amount of time to look at it when you're playing with a group? way to see the lie? and what is an appropr. amount of time to look at it when you're playing with a group?

i started hitting a draw. i felt like my fade just wasn't going far enough. i hit 6 pyramids of balls.

I found a small wooden bowl about 8 inches across and 2 inches high. I put it various distances and practice chipping with my 52deg off the carpet. More concerned with the feel than actually making it.t.

What I do is tear the flaps off of a sleeve of balls and practice putting through that. On the putting green, I sometimes lay the box across the hole. Then when I'm on the course, I visualize that.

well my putting 3-8 footers on the carpet at home paid off and i feal good addressing and stoking my putts now IT WORKS! practice that is.. now to practice some laggs on the real track and the snow is melting so ill need to get some shortgame work in i found out. so much to do so little time! and i need to work on my flexibuility.. im tightening up too much also! only take 5 min a day to stretch i dont know why i fight it so! melting so ill need to get some shortgame work in i found out. so much to do so little time! and i need to work on my flexibuility.. im tightening up too much also! only take 5 min a day to stretch i dont know why i fight it so!
