Just to touch on some of the points brought up.
This year I have started to
- hit from shorter tees on certain holes (I normally try to stay with the group, but will move up on certain holes)
- work backwards from the green so I can hit with a club i'm comfortable with (8 to Gap) onto the green
- Going with shorter irons in the rough, tougher lies, uneven footing regardless of distance to the hole.
- aim toward areas that would set me up for an easier next shot
- not using driver all the time on Par 4/5's to avoid hazards
- focused on putting with a putting mat at home - significantly reduced my 3 putts, mostly 2 putts now with the occasional 1 putts
I have been enjoying golf more lately with the changes and the lowering of my score. I still have lots to improve, was able to bring my score down from 120+ down to the low 100's this season. Finally broke 50 on 9 holes recently.
Next season, i'm hoping to focus on Sand shots, chipping, and long irons / woods and more course / game management.
