Stu_HMFC Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I may of been responsible in giving Jon Rahm the bad luck what gave him two bogey’s in his first 4 holes this afternoon 😂 caught him heading onto to driving range wished him luck and got a fist pump from him top guy . very good day at the golf today legs are red raw burnt stupid me going without cream again! 😂 looking forward to watching the final round tomorrow.

OBE Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 1 hour ago, 2205ian said: Hope you enjoyed your day OBE. I imagine it was a bit sticky wearing your waterproofs, however the brolly would come in handy as a sunshade. Typical weather forecast gone wrong, but always safer to go prepared in Scotland. Jon Rahm's Achilles heel with his short putts has cost him the lead. The one on 16 was a particularly poor effort, however still finished 2 under after a slow start & only 1 off the lead. He was quite laid back being interviewed post round & I expect him to be holding the trophy tomorrow night. Looking forward to a good finish as plenty in with a chance. If the forecast is more accurate tomorrow, keeping the ball out the rough could prove to be decisive. The weather made it so much more enjoyable, the skins and brolly were never used. Seen umpteen short putts missed on 16, MacIntyre was one, thought he was gonna burst walking to 17. 19/20 under should win it, with no wind, is fair. The rough is less forgiving this year with a wee bit added length and few bunkers tweaked, I'd say they've got the course spot on. Could they get the weather forecast wrong two days in a row? I hope so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kila Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Felt I've lost some yardage this season because I've been mucking around with my wrist hinge too much. What do you do? Do you think about it during the backswing, forcefully hinging on a pivot point to get them set at the top, or do you just grip the club lightly and not think about it letting them hinge naturally as the elbow tucks in? I'm trying to generate more lag at impact and get out of this 'the harder I try to hit it the less it goes' phase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kila Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Rakes back in the bunkers but looks like some still can’t be arsed. Who leaves the rake in the bunker or at the side? One stopped my ball going in it today, but I leave them fully in the bunker (close to the edge so easy to reach) for that reason. I don’t want to give some ****er some luck during a medal!

I'm trying to generate more lag at impact and get out of this 'the harder I try to hit it the less it goes' phase. I think wrist hinge should be a natural reaction to a good set up and start of the backswing. If you are actually thinking about it then that's what is probably slowing you down as you try to set it in a position rather than swing it there. Focus on a good tempo throughout the swing, and not rushing the transition from back to down, that will create better lag. All my poor shots stem from being quick from the top Hope that helps 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not actually but certainly in how a player envisages the hole-out. Some putts are there to be hit firmly and the pin has changed that a bit. That said, I predict a fair amount of spin outs now. Guys hitting their putts a tad firmer and the lip accelerating the ball out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timing will be better if you get the right hip movement and weight transfer as the backswing transitions into the downswing. You can practice getting the left hip out of the way by making an exaggerated hip movement up and left before you start the downswing. Another good drill is to start the swing from stationary position at the top of the swing (no backswing). You need to start it down by getting the hips moving which also automatically gets the weight shifting towards the left.

dode41 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 This is a strange one.......a few months ago i was really struggling with my game,i was playing all kinds of horrible shots and was close to stopping playing altogether but i decided to get a lesson from club pro (Ian Seath,liberton gc) and i felt i had something to work on,i got another lesson a month or so after and felt a massive improvement in my swing,tempo and ball striking yet even though i carried this onto the course i still made the odd disastrous shot which would lead to 2 or 3 7s on my card. Then at beginning of June i managed to not only qualify for B section championship i actually won the bloody thing,i played out my skin and from the last 16 to the 2 round final i made very few bad shots but since then in normal stroke play comps i can't reach the form i did in matchplay. My question is how do you guys make every shot a pressure shot in stroke play as i can't seem to get the same intensity/concentration i did in matchplay.

My question is how do you guys make every shot a pressure shot in stroke play as i can't seem to get the same intensity/concentration i did in matchplay. They're very different things and to a great degree you're better off not having pressure on every shot in strokeplay. 'Success' in strokeplay is more difficult and a higher achievement than matchplay. Posting very good scores is the blue ribband for any golfer. Matchplay is great and it is what it is but, when push comes to shove, you're only competing against one player and each hole stands alone and carries nowhere near the same jeopardy of ruining an entire round/match. There's a false comfort in matchplay. You don't absolutely need intensity on shots in strokeplay, but you do need some intensity and concentration to construct scores.
