Breaking 90 and addressing problems ASAP

I finally did it this past weekend. After a long 3 years of playing golf, I finally broke 90. I had a great round with the usual crew on Saturday. I couldn’t get off the tee for shit and my driver was all over the place, but my irons and short game held me together. My approach game was amazing as I was absolutely striping my irons all day. It wasn’t pretty or perfect, but I put together a solid round and finally got it done.

It was funny that it happened on Saturday because on Friday I went to Mariner’s Point to practice my short game for the perhaps my first time ever. My 100 on in has been the weakest part of my game, but it’s been brutal to actually practice that anywhere in San Francisco. Turns out that practicing the worst part of your game usually leads to good things as I stuck a 60 yarder to 2 feet and a 80 yarder to 1 foot on different holes.

Note to self - address your problems as soon as possible. I’m not sure why I avoided practicing my short game for so long, but I feel like an idiot now. I can’t help but think how much earlier I would have broken 90 if I did.

Going forward, I need to address my driver issues and practice some putting. One thing at a time though.
