I striped it dead down the middle off the tee box and hit another 12 greens, but four 3-putt greens and missing multiple 12-15 footers for birdie just wears away at me mentally. From 20-25 feet I can't get the putt anywhere near the hole. One of my playing partners couldn't help but laugh at me yesterday. I stoned a 6 iron from 165yards to about 8 feet for birdie...and proceeded to leave the putt 2 feet short...He looked at me and deadpanned "at least you are working on your lag putting"

Anyways...Mom took a backseat yesterday to the 20-something young lady following the group behind us yesterday. Very nice tan...blue and white polka dot sun dress

kev head to the green and do the ladder drill

start about 6 feet away, place a tee about a foot past the hole , the goal is to get all 3 balls into the hole or past the hole but not past the tee

once you get all 3 in , move back in increments of 5 feet , try and go back as far as possible , this should help your speed
