Just reflecting on my Strokes Gained improvements since starting my journey 4 years ago ๐
Driving: +5.9
Approach: +6.6
Short: +3.1
Putting: +1.7
Total: +17.3
Measuring Strokes Gained and practicing the right parts works!
Have been taking a break from regular practice and play but somehow that didnโt stop me from shooting 75 today!
From the whites but still a record. Adjusted score 2.63.

6,792/73.2/144
Worst Approach since 2nd round 4.5 years ago! Have scaled back practice/play, and boy did I pay. ZERO greens.
Course is shit soggy. Greens recovering from plugs.
Keeping the project on cruise mode while I write my next book.

Okay round on easy course. Pulled OB first tee and could've putted better.

Callaway acquired Topgolf for $2 billion in 2020 but is now selling the business to a PE firm for $1.1 billion.
Same-venue sales are down double digits, higher rates have destroyed returns, and Callaway's stock is down 50% over 5 years.

Didn't run out of steam on back! Maybe anti-parasitics and stationary bike zone 2 have helped.
But 3-putted twice on back. Plugged sanded greens, so putting a wildcard.

Mud pit. Quad on 9th, even chipped in. Still energy problems. Don't know if it's cardio conditioning or diet or what. Experimenting.

Really need to fix energy management after diet/schedule changes. Just keep running out of steam on back 9s. (Especially last hole ๐ )

Felt much worse! Somehow bad Approach even with 7 GIR. Soggy conditions not kind to fat shots.

Hard to complain shooting even on front. Buuut, back coulda been better.
FOUR birdies, 3 doubles, 6 bogeys, 5 pars. 0.1 shy of putting record.

Amazing what avoiding double-bogey can do. Excellent Approach besides 0 greens on back. Plenty of mistakes, but made some putts.

Only 1 double! Unfortunately also two quads.
Disappointing. Need more distance in this division and not sure how to practice for greens like this.
