My Let's Break 80 Golf Journal

Welcome to My Let’s Break 80 Golf Journal.

I am Wayne Hudler, an ordinary golfer on a life long journey, like so many others, to discover how to play better golf.

It’s not that I don’t enjoy the game now, I do. I love it in fact. I just know that I would enjoy it even more if I played as well as I know I can. Is that true for you too?

I need to hit longer, straighter drives, consistently hit crisp iron shots, make more putts and generally improve my overall golf game. At the risk of stating the obvious, I am not happy with the 15 handicap I now carry. I want to lower my handicap.  Most of us want that same thing.

This site serves as the diary of my golf journey. I will talk about where my game has come from and how I’ve made progress. Step by step. Mis-steps included. No holding back or white washing the truth. It may be embarrassing but I will still share the truth about my journey.

It is my hope that this effort serves to help you improve your golf game. Whatever your golf goals, whatever level of golfer you are now or whatever part of the world you live, if you long to be a better golfer, I want to to help you better enjoy this wonderful game of golf.

Wayne

golf is a really relaxing sport and most people seem to have the assumption that celebrities have an easy life, they have a rich life but it most certainly is not an easy one to live at all. Here are some of the celebrities out there that like firing up those golf batteries and go and play a round of golf from time to time.

Hugh Grant

Grant is a very famous golfing addict and is a scratch golfer and very regular in the pro-am tournaments that are held at the Sunningdale Golf Club. continue reading…

Just wanted to take a minute to update you guys on today’s round.

The Front Nine

Shot 44. Played to my handicap so to speak. Some good shots/holes. Some not so good. The best was on the par 4 second hole. A bad tee shot left me nothing but a chip out. Third shot was 150 yds over water to a pin tucked behind a front bunker. Struck the 7 iron beautifully. Shot was dead online and fell softly just 4 feet from the stick. Easy putt. Surprising par.

The Back Nine

Shot 40. This was the best nine holes I’ve played. Ever.  It went like this: Par, Par, Bogey, Par, Birdie, Par, Bogey, Par, Triple.

A couple of things to share. The birdie was a 75 yds pitch in. Had just topped an 8 iron. The pitch in was one of those perfect shots landing near the pin, hop, hop and in.

The triple was the result of a total mental break down. After making par on 17 I was just one over. I stayed mentally in the moment up through the tee shot on 18. It was well done too, leaving me just 80 yds uphill. A good chance a birdie with a routine par highly likely.

Become a Better Golfer, Guaranteed!

It was not to be. As we rode from the tee to the second shot, my golf buddy and I discussed how I was just one over. He brought it up. Standing over the shot I felt the sense of weakness that comes from fear. My mind was focused on the outcome already. I was thinking first of how cool it would be to shoot 36 or 37 on the back. Then just as quickly the thoughts switched to: “Don’t screw this up”. Well I did. Ended with a triple.

How close to something really special I was! But at the end of the day a 40 is no shame at all.

That 79 that I want so badly is coming into view. I will get there. It seems inevitable now.  Just a matter of time.

When it comes to heading out on the golf course and having a good days worth of golfing out on the course you need to know what things you are going to need for the game. when it comes to people forgetting things to pack it happens a lot of the time so what are the things you need.

The Clubs

these are arguably the most important thing when it comes to things and without them you will be a bit lost. continue reading…
