Next event is Thursday at the same course for a NCGA Mid AM Qualifier. Gearing up for the USGA Mid Am in August. 4th on the waitlist. Fingers crossed.

Golf update🧵 . Played in my second golf tournament yesterday. California State Amateur Qualifier. I’ve been grinding on my game and got the index down to a 1.5. Knew I had to play some solid golf to get through this one but more looking for tournament experience.

Not my best day of golf hitting a bunch of super average golf shots. Have to get rid of the doubles and we will be trending the right direction. Driver is working well so continue to hit that well and improve on the short game and we will be getting closer to competing at the top

His other drive into the water is what happens when your face isn’t square and the path isn’t right and you mishit.

[Jake Stevenson @JakeStevenson38]

Face is square, wind was left to right held it from over drawing. Incredible club head speed and it went 10 yards shorter than his average. This all checks out. Yes it’s a mis hit but where it hits on the face isn’t the only thing that matters.

Golden Gate Park Golf

Best par 3 course in the country?

[Jake Stevenson @JakeStevenson38]

Back up to a 4.8.

Really bad day of putting, ball striking is coming along. Gotta learn how to read grain of greens better. As crazy as it seems with 11.1 and 7.9 diff we are improving. Putts were on line just horrible pace.

Hit 5/9 GIR on 9 hole round. 3 3putts….

On we go

Hole #5 - Monarch Bay
Par 5, 514 Yards

[Jake Stevenson @JakeStevenson38]

This is far from perfect but posture is better and was informed that I’ve been gripping the putter wrong.

Also suppose to match your forearm angle with the shaft of the putter. So it feels like I’m standing right above the ball and have the putter straight up and down. 📈📈📈

[Jake Stevenson @JakeStevenson38]

Index down to a 4.4. Huge momentum going into my next round which will knock off a 4.0 differential so gotta bring it next round.

Pre shot routine is everything now. That paired with some new putting tips change everything playing 9 holes under par is a huge confidence booster.

76 today 41/35

After a frustrating start to the round. I forced myself to just only focus on my pre shot routine. Which I didn’t have until the 11th hole when I had to wait on tee box.

The last 8 holes were the best 8 holes of focus I’ve ever had. Felt good over every shot.

Views from Monarch Bay today

[Jake Stevenson @JakeStevenson38]

10 pars. 6 DOUBLES. Gotta find a way to keep the ball in play. When I try to swing smooth (I really just swing my arms ahead of lower half) I yank hook drives. Course was tight and I paid for it with. The rest of the game is there. Have to eliminate drops and re tees.
