Shot 75 lowest score to date

Hi Guys,

I shot 75 (36 and 39) from the white tees in a member-member at Mt. Snow, Vermont, my lowest yet. I played with my son and we came in third low gross for 151 for 2 days. I thought I would share some of the keys that seemed to help.

1) Putting - keeping my legs and head still
2) Ball striking - maintaining the connection between the left arm and chest throughout the swing. Since I have a tendency to pull the ball, I went to the range prior to the tournament and hit balls from the right side towards the center. What I found was that when I pulled the ball, my follow through was more around rather than more up the line. So I worked on folding the left arm up rather than around so much. I'm not sure I'm explaining this correctly, but I think this allowed me to align up correctly on the course ( which I would normall feel is a left alignment) without the fear of pulling the ball.
3) Trying to focus on one shot at at time. I had 2 three putts from within 10 feet the 3rd and 4th hole which could have been a mental disaster. I worked hard at forgetting it and moving on.

Anyway, I thought I would share this all of you. Hope it helps.

Hi Msklar.
What an excellent score.You remained fosussed and concentrated on the shot you were about to hit. Golf is 90% mental and the other 10 % is mental.

well done again pal.

thanks artford, I think I really made a big breakthrough in my swing and score. Hope to repeat soon. Mike.

Hi Mike
How about next time you have some free time, post on this thread what aspects of your swing/game you have been working on and what has brought you such great success.
Just think you may be able to help somebody with the same issues.

cheers pal.
