2 Pros give their TOP 5 Tips To LOWER Your Handicap! | Rough Cut Golf Podcast 087

I went side saddle putting and it is by far the biggest jump ingame improvement i have ever had. It only took a couple of months and most of that was being self conscious. After i got over what people thought of it, I improved drastically. Almost every second putt is less than 3 feet. I worked really hard on approach shots 125 to 90 yrds and hit more greens. But my chipping and pitching is still hard for me. I would rather almost flop a ball than do some kind of bump and let it run out. I have gotten better but still inconsistent with speed control, feel. Second bad is fairway bunkers. I suck at them, and almost impossible to practice because there isn't any at ranges to hit from, just greenside bunkers at putting range.

On Matt talking about “just hitting it” with Pete “drawing it off that chimney” – my coach said two related things:

– Aim small, miss small
– If you don’t have precise aim, how can you precisely assess how much you’ve missed?

It is hard to maintain that level of focus for a round though

Question for next week. Thoughts on low draw with driver. Watched an insane video from Titleist with Cameron Young where he regularly tees it very low and hits a low bullet with a small draw.

I wish Fryer was a weekly co-host. I like both of your podcasts, but together it’s just magical!! I mean more magical then a unicorn or a leprechaun even. The banter when y’all are together. I couldn’t quit laughing. Great pod guys!

I wait for new club releases and buy the previous model at a bargain price. Also when a club is a year old it’s tested and proven properly

After you guys talked about your your dad's I sure would like to see a match between the dads and lads. Another word the finches versus the fryers

When Pete said smash factor I almost pissed myself! 😂

Admittedly im only a 16hcp but my advice is get used to playing better, harder rated courses… there's a former LPGA venue local to me that I can play for less than $100, a Palmer designed course for $60-70, and a few other resort courses in the same bracket… on any one of those, as long as I shoot 93 or better from the tips my handicap stays the same or improves… meanwhile one of the park district courses doesn't even have blue tees, last time I shot 83 there my handicap actually went UP

love the merch idea for the alignment sticks. Purple with small white lines for club face square checks. DO IT"!!!

Hahaha Pete's snus story haha pretty sure he gave you something else haha that's ridiculous haha

I got a new LAB putter 3 months ago and practiced with it around 2 times a week and I've dropped 5 stokes easy. Even when my ball striking was ass I was still in the mid 80s
