Recap

Played MPO division. Have been playing very poorly at league. I started off real hot this time around but finished like a beginner golfer.

I am working on a new swing so I can attribute a lot of the damage to not knowing where my disc was going to go off the tee box, but I even messed up a few upshots and putts to help me salvage par. Also working on a new putting stroke I guess.

On the Bright side, I made 4 putts outside of circle 1 with my new putting stroke. It was crazy!

Scoring

Last place for Pro AGAIN! Started off 3 down through 5 holes and then the wheels fell off.

Bag Highlights

Went all Discraft today, I think the brand covers all the shots I need.

Discraft 6 Claw Luna – Even though I threw it 120 ft out of bounds near the end of my round, it went really far and really straight 🙂  I’m going to swing by the shop and pick up a few more Lunas in Z and maybe 6 claw if they have any left.  It’s a nice straight flying putter with lots of control and distance. I can use it off the tee, for upshots, and even putting (imagine that).

Discraft 2023 Tour Series Thrasher – Hyzer flip bombs away. Right now the main way for me to get those 350-400 ft shots on the course.

3 Learnings

  1. Stay focused, don’t let a bogey throw you off. There are lots of holes.
  2. When working on a new swing, throw shots you know you can make. i.e. don’t try to throw a putter 320 ft when you can just throw a mid easy there.
  3. Keep working on the new putting stroke, making long distance putts finally.
