98 this morning. Couldn't get off the tee consistently, but short game and putting were dialled in. Shot 46 on the back 9.

Bought some quite expensive golf balls that claim to be lower spin and thus help reduce slicing. If they don't work I'm going to be annoyed that I spent so much money on balls that don't do the thing I bought them to do, if they do I'm going to be annoyed that I have to now keep buying such expensive balls.

They'll work just slightly enough to keep you hooked.

'Less spin' mitigating claims ("this golf club/tennis racquet will provide BOTH power AND control!") is a bandaid covering a fundamental flaw that needs addressing.  A lesson may provide you with that one simple 'kernel' to keep in mind (vs. 46 different "do this/do that" corrections = paralysis through analysis) and $ave you in the long run.

You're right, although less spin = less short game control. So there is definitely a sacrifice, it's not claiming to be a magic panacea. My short game is pretty good though.

And you're right as well (spin = short game control).  Sounds like you have "the hands" talent-wise and only need to be slice-free off the tee.

Shot a 44 on the back 9. Those new balls fly a freaking mile when I get hold of them. Unfortunately the 51 on the front 9 wasn't so good, although 95 is still my best card of the year (previous was 96).

92 today. Breaking 90 by the end of the season feels possible.

Haven’t been in this thread in a while, but that’s some really solid progress this year JE.

I’m happy when I break 100. If I’m not playing regularly (at least 18 holes every 1-2 weeks), I hang around that score or won’t break it if I have a bad round. I’ve played about 1x per month this season.

Thanks bud. It's definitely all about consistency; I've been playing at least twice and going to the range once or twice every week this summer.
