Throw your 3 wood in the bin.

If you don’t hit a driver well leave it at home.

Hit a hybrid off the tee and again for your second shot. That will get you on or near the green on most par 4s.

Don’t hit elaborate flop shots. If you’re not far off the green putt with a hybrid.

If you don’t have a hybrid i can’t help you

This video helped me when I first started out. It’s dated now but you’ll get the idea.

Went to the (indoor) range last night, and really worked a few kinks out. By the end, I was hitting everythning from 6I - wedges REALLY good. last 6i went 170, straight as an arrow with good spin. Need to work the kinks out of the hybrid, 3w, and driver.

For me, its all about hips and weight distribution. I think once I get better at hips first, arms down, then swing .. in essence, I'll get better contact. once I get the contact solid, I'll work on increasing swing speed and such. I still can't hit my driver over 200 yards right now though.

Before every round, I tell myself “smart golf” today.

Then I get to the first tee box and the rest of the group pull out their drivers. And so do I. Fore!!!

Play a full round with your 6 iron as your longest club. Bet you’ll shoot under 100.

If you can get a 3 hybrid to work then you’ll be on the way to shooting under 90.

Not as much fun as belting a driver but if it’s a score you’re after that’s the way to do it.

my biggest issue is the long clubs. The longer the club, the harder I feel I need to swing. Overswinging is the devil when it comes golf. I can't get that one thing out of my head. Working really hard on it for sure though.

Teeing off in 23 1/2 hours ... can't wait

Just enjoy it. Whenever I’m having a nightmare round I just think to myself that I could be at home with the missus and then I feel better

Going to Scottsdale in a couple weeks to see if I can revive my game in the middle of winter. Playing Palm Valley, Grass Clippings under the lights, and TPC Scottsdale Champions. Pretty excited to play night golf, should be a fun experience.

Thrilled to be in Scottsdale AZ this weekend! Starting off at San Marcos Golf Course

Yas Links, Abu Dhabi.

Really strong 41 going out, but humbled on a much tougher back nine with a 48.

Still, made par on the signature 17th: a 188-yard par 3 over a small pond (first picture below):

That would be great! Country music and golf. Awesome combo.

Shot a 98 today in Potomac, MD. Nice start to year for me (only 5th time below 100)! Deer as my witnesses.

Falls Road, I consider it my home course.

Another deer on 18.

That’s pretty close to me. We should play sometime.

My golf sucks. The company and Orlando weather is amazing.

Crowds were pretty wild today at Waste Management. Just read that the event hit a max capacity! And they stopped all alcohol sales at the event as well

My second shot from about 90 yards out on a par 4 yesterday, SOOOO close to the eagle. Managed to avoid three-putting here and tapped in for the bird. Wish the rest of the round had been as nice, but it was fun to get out.

Which course did you end up playing? Been meaning to get out there it’s only about 30min from me but haven’t had a chance yet.
