Hey Gabe! I had a similar experience this week. Came off a lesson and a week of practice where everything was clicking and during men's club tourney last night put up a huge number with 6 doubles. Let's just say my attitude was not as good as yours. Thanks for the prospective. 🙂
I'm keeping my greens in reg stats plus number of putts at the moment. As long as they improve most times I play, my actual score doesn't worry me. Sounds like the old cliche huh, "it's your short game"...😢
Youre missing key things here. You made a lot of bogeys because of bad short game + bad bunker play. But why are you missing greens in the first place? This is what people don’t understand about the game, they look and go “oh its my short game.” Yeah but youre short siding yourself and you’re missing greens. And then you lie to yourself and say you hit the ball well. Well if you hit the ball well, why were you missing greens? Im not trying to be a dick, im trying to point out how golf stats can mislead you.
@@projectfiveunder you’re not wrong, I think one thing I may not have made overly clear is that I’m switching to a draw right now after hitting a fade exclusively for the past few years. As a result sometimes my targets are a bit off as I’m learning how to “see” a draw + find my aim. This has led to an increase in some short misses just off the green. Also, my short game technique has taken a total dive lately with all these changes and it has been horrific so even really close chips have brought bogey into play. I had a lesson yesterday and I was just doing way too much. Much more simpler motion now that I’m hoping will translate. I appreciate the comment!
@@GabeGallucciGolf You change your equipment every other week, I think this attitude is reflected in your swings too. Why did you switch from a fade to a draw? Fades are perfectly fine. Just seems you're always changing things without any solid reason why. I understand working on your swing, etc. But if you've been working with coaches, and you say "for me to get to the level I want to be, I need a pro swing." Then why wasn't a pro swing priority in the first place and what were you working on before, were you just bandaid fixing stuff the past few years? Also, I'm not sure if you've done this but you should go to some PGA Tour/Korn Ferry/Canadian Tour events and watch the guys swing and hit the ball, you're going to see a lot of weird swings that execute well. It just seems like you have a lot of work ethic, but you're constantly shifting directions and it doesn't really seem to be working out. You shouldn't really be shooting high 80's. If I were you, I'd probably fire the guys that you're currently working with, and go find a coach who has coached top level players and who's ideas you like. And I think you've probably felt this but you probably get sold easily on transformation and working on things plus they're probably your friends, but the results aren't there. And I know this comment has been overall negative, but I'll end it positive. I do think you can turn pro, you have the thing that most people have (and you can't teach) which is work ethic, it just needs to be directed in the right direction, in the SAME direction, consistently and you'll start to see results.

Man it's tough to learn to stay positive! Takes as many reps as it does to make the swing good haha!
Chilliwack is quite easy to light up, but if your putting yourself in bad spots it can be a long day
hahaha Yep! it was indeed a long day 😂
I played in that, did you think the bunkers had barely any sand in them?
They don't do super fluffy bunkers there but still I made a mess of them regardless of sand level 😂

Just got a lesson so hopefully that helps! 😂

@@projectfiveunder Your comment came at the perfect time. Just dropped a podcast addressing this whole comment. I appreciate it!!
