It’s like “looking in a mirror” reading your article. i have spent so much money on gadgets over the years and a lot of them didn’t make a huge change. My biggest improvement has been on 2 things:
1. analysing where i was dropping shots and put 90% of my practice into that area. 110 yards in was my weakness- i now spend 2 range sessions a week on aim, alignment and accuracy - trackman games are brilliant for this. when the weather improves, i will play 3 or 4 holes at my course, just playing the approach shots and putting. It’s working for me.
2. Mental side of the game - keeping balanced, stop mentally scoring and trying not to get ahead of myself. “protecting the ball” is my favourite game. Start the round with “1 ball only” and seeing how many holes you complete with only 1 ball. it really helps on course management and staying focused on your routines.
Thanks Andrew and it’s always good to reflect on what is ‘making the boat go faster’ and what isn’t! I’ve found working on 140-120 has been useful for me! I’m only on Twitter/X @scratch_journey at the moment - I post there often and share sessions and reflections there
Philosophically, the good thing is that you'll never know! Personally I'm very positive on the data side, the lessons side and being proactive as I think it makes a (big difference). You can step back from things and see where they lead, and it'll be good days and bad days, but it's whether you want to be where that is that counts most!
Absolutely Jonathan! Keeping eyes and ears open for opportunities to grow and want to make sure what I invest my time and money ‘makes the boat go faster’
