Striped it down the middle, flip wedge to 15 feet, birdie putt peeks but doesn't drop, tap in par.
Sucks even worse when you're on in two and three putt.

Where's the golf cart?
Golf is unique: it's the only sport in which the Lowest Score Wins. Golfers have been inundated for years with advice and sayings intended to help them shoot lower scores, like "spend 50% of your time practicing your putting" or "you've got to be in the short grass."
What if we told you that most of this popular advice was not true at all? That these myths are holding you back from reaching your potential and shooting the lowest score possible? That putting might be the least important skill in golf, that driving the ball far is much more important than driving it straight, and that Phil Mickelson might just be the best strategist on the PGA Tour?
Lowest Score Wins is NOT your classic golf book. We show you the new way to shoot lower scores -- immediately. You'll learn to use something called Separation Value to guide your practice and how you can use Shot Zones to help you determine your GamePlan for every shot you play. You'll discover why typical course management strategy fails (hint: it only covers half of the equation). This book is the first of its kind. It is your own personal roadmap to shooting lower scores tomorrow. What are you waiting for?
Just finished reading this book, and thought it was very informative, at least for someone like me trying to resurrect/improve my golf game (from a 15 HI so far). Lots of data and the focus is on how best to practice if you want to improve efficiently. It's different from most golf books I've read, but not anything unconventional. I am trying to make better use of my practice time while using a pro to help identify and prioritize what I need most work on. FWIW
JJ-I went last year over Labor Day. Couldn't agree more with your take on the weather.
Your comments on watching the ball roll, I remember that on the par three. On the regular courses, not so much. Just hit it where your caddy tells you. Did you take caddies?

The book has three sections. The first section is about improving your mechanics and motions from tee to green to lower your score. It's not a full blown instructional book (self diagnoses can do more harm than good in my case), it explains how important it is to hit the ball solidly with consistency. It will explain how to control the start line and curve. It explains some basic short game and putting techniques, and some driver and wedge techniques.Pack-
Can you give us a quick summary beyond the excerpt?
Not available in my local library. The books sounds interesting. I purchased 3 books written by Stan Utley which are more dedicated to the short game which I reference frequently. My favorite golf instruction book is The Plane Truth by Jim Hardy. I converted to a one plane swing and now only reference half the book. Golf is now simple and enjoyable, I no longer read swing tips offered in the golf magazines. But I am interested in improving course management skills to lower my handicap from 15.Or you might get lucky and find it at your library. No eBook unfortunately.
+1. YouTube videos are even more dangerous IMO, I avoid watching almost all of them. When something specific is identified during a lesson by my golf pro, only then will I look for a video or two on that aspect - MAYBE.Not available in my local library. The books sounds interesting.

beat my opponent 6 and 5 yesterday to win consolation in the club summer match event
big thanks to jcretire77 for finding my putter on 9
Until I read the subsequent posts, I thought you might have gone "Garcia" on us.
Thanks. Supposedly #8 is actually posted at some courses in the UK. And I replaced 16 with something else that I have mixed feelings on.I observe all except #8, which I've never heard of.
Also, 6 & 16 are the same.
