guys I just shot 116 it’s been a couple of weeks since I last played golf I’m freaking out I got a golf tournament coming up in just over a week let me take you along this week as I try to get my game back in shape and hopefully I shoot low in this golf tournament so this first drill that I’m working on emphasizes a connected takeaway and this helps me get into a better spot at the top of my back swing so I do a few reps with the alignment stick and then after I’m imagining that the alignment stick is still glued to my body feeling that connected takeaway when I can’t seem to be getting good contact with my irons I like to use this Tommy Fleetwood finish drill it just helps me get back on track striking the irons better I can feel that compression and helps me get into a better Rhythm usually I have difficulty with the driver but the driver was actually feeling pretty nice during this rain session a swing thought that I’ve been feeling is swinging down more on the ball which might seem counterintuitive but I was constantly swinging too far up my angle of attack was like 6 or seven sometimes I would be topping the ball so if I’m thinking about swinging down on it I’m actually normalizing my angle of attack all right 7:00 a.m. right now walking to the gym got a busy day ahead of me and I plan to go to the range after work so have to fit out the workout in in the morning canot be shooting that high in the tournament so we’re working hard we’re grinding let’s get it boys this drill that I’m working on today it’s supposed to help with rotation I want to turn my knee into the alignment stick and then brush it against my leg and that will help make sure that I have the proper wrist hinge so this drill classic helps making sure you’re hitting through the ball you’re focused on hitting in the middle of the face which leads to better contact today is the first day that I’m working on my chipping I’m trying to work on a higher soft shot so I first tried on a tighter lie then I try it off with some rough I still find playing more of a flop intimidating but sometimes I’m forced to play it when there is something that I need to fly it over and a low Runner just isn’t really the option this range session I only got 30 balls cuz I want to be more deliberate I’m focusing on my pre-shot routine and I’m trying to emulate what it would feel like coming up to a shot in the tournament so my routine consists of standing behind the ball Imagining the shot coming up to it doing a few Waggles to get myself limber and then going with chipping today I’m trying different shot trajectories a low one and a high one the high one does make me feel a bit more uncomfortable but I know it’s something that I’m going to need to practice because there will be sometimes when you don’t have a lot of green to run out on and it’s my first day practicing putting and it’s definitely something that I need to work on today I played around a golf and one thing that I noticed is that my pre-shot routine is not the same as when I practiced which is something that I need to sync up more as well I notice in a round sometimes I really try to swing hard and I’m not as relaxed as I am in the range and this more times than not will lead to pulled shots I ended up shooting 102 after this round so definitely have to shake this off I a couple days out before the tournament so at the range I feel like I can’t work on any more drills as it won’t stick so now is the time to swing my swing I’m just focusing on being more athletic at the range all right it’s the evening before the tournament I’m playing nine holes out the course going to the range warming up a little I’m not going to record myself playing just because I want to dial in and focus in because the last two rounds haven’t been the best but I’ll update you after the round even though I haven’t been playing the best I’m feeling very optimistic I like my chances I just know that I got to keep the driver in play if I can do that I feel very confident okay just finished nine I shot 46 I’m very happy with my results I was driving it very well I only lost one ball but it’s like kind of dark and stuff hard to see I was chipping around the green very well hitting some good flops so overall very happy going into tomorrow guys today planning my second golf tournament unfortunately it was raining today so this fit right here we’re a bit more appropriate for the weather let’s show you something I was looking forward to wearing this new drip my wife got this new polo shirt anyways so it’s raining today and I don’t have any rain supplies so I’m going to need to get a umbrella umbrella holder some rain gloves tea offs in like 2 hours or so but I do want to go to the course and practice a bit feeling a little like anxious I don’t know if or nervous excitement especially just because I do have to get all that other stuff can’t really finish my breakfast right now nothing’s going down but I know I should be eating so I guess I’ll pack up protein bar and stuff to go but anyways we’re heading out I arrived so early no one’s barely here and they’re still setting up but it looks like the weather’s going to hold off so I don’t think we really need some rain gear the lot’s empty okay 30 minutes before the tournament how do you feel uh I mean had a bit of inconvenience with the umbrella and changing up the bag yeah we had to get a buy an umbrella quite ugly but oh well sore from yesterday’s round but I think that’ll help me swing a bit more easy that’s good and it’s raining I know so he couldn’t wear that shirt I bought him thec unfortunately it started to rain when I was playing but I actually don’t mind playing when it’s raining it’s kind of refreshing I was pretty happy with my swing my drives ended up in most Fairways and I was making great contact with my irons however a few times I did end up in the sand and I did have trouble getting up and down which caused a lot of double bogeys even though I was making great contact with my irons I just could not hit the green which is disappointing after being in a great position with my drive I ended my round with 92 but I know after cleaning up a few things I can definitely shoot lower I was finally able to wear the shirt it went out to celebrate well not really much of a celebration and I came like fourth it’s okay tried your best y oh you have it Che birthday not birthday sorry post game celebration it’s okay uhhuh I guess we’ll debrief the round later but just want to unwind now [Music] what do you think said you want to taste the whiskey I taste the [Music] whiskey I’m
