Jordan Speith First Tournament of 2016

So, Jordan Speith shoots 30 under par at the first tournament of 2016 . Incredible score but let us have a look at his stats.


                                                   Ranking

Driving Distance 283.8                   140
Driving Accuracy 60.34%              161
Greens in Reg      72.92%               109
Sand save             100%                      1
Birdie Ave            6.38                        1
Strokes gained putting 1.91                 2
""            "  " tee-green 2.395              3
Total strokes gained 4.305                  1

Obviously he is not the best in driving & greens in regulation but it's in the short game & putting that he gains shots. His putting & saves are exceptional . Watching him play he does very little wrong but with a stat of 6.38 birdies ave per round is a total that shows us where he is at. His game is totally focused on getting the ball into the hole in the least amount of shots ie, the card tells the story & it doesn't matter how but how many.

Aiming the club

Here's a quick video I recorded regarding how to aim the club. This element of the set-up is nearly always overlooked.

You can only control YOU

Played today with a group of friends in horrendous conditions. The weather was rough, fierce wind , rain & a wet course. But, in these conditions you can learn a lot about you & your game. Firstly, you cannot control the weather. Secondly it's winter golf so the ball goes nowhere. So, it's time to adjust your game & be PATIENT. In these conditions you should try & control the ball flight by using extra club & playing the ball into the fat of the green. All too often I see amateurs trying to kill the ball & they give up all their control to the elements. Patience is the key. Play the shots you know , not ones you've never tried before. Percentage golf is the key. This time of the year you will not get that many lucky breaks, rather, the breaks will go against you. So, remember to control your state & your mind by staying in the present & playing within yourself.

Enjoy the process!!!!
