Yes thatās the plan!
Current schedule for MP is looking like St Andrews Beach, The Dunes, Moonah Links Open, National Old and Lonsdale Links.
Could change on the fly, or could break my body (bad back along with other crap) after the first round lol. Possibility of adding courses if body holds together.
I think you mean I have some great courses ahead of me lol unfortunately the golf itself maybe very average at the moment as Iāve been really struggling with my swing - but hey thatās life as a hacker! Going to be a blast either way!

Are you catching the ferry to Lonsdale?
Looks like a good bunch of courses.
Thatās becoming a bucket list thing for me.
If I could ever get some family to come down here and visit, I want to go on a big Tasmania golf bender.

Thatās the plan - final day of the golf trip and start of the normal holiday with my partner whoās coming in on the boat.
Friday night in Geelong as doing a balloon ride on the Saturday. Then 4 nights at Cape Schanck and touristy stuff - any recommendations on hidden gems of any sort (food etc) more than welcome.

Iām slowly ticking off all the Tassie Courses although havenāt been to many new ones recentlyā¦still many to get to!
I have serious putting issues at the moment . Iām hitting the ball fine all round , but putting . omg . I know you have these things from time to time and they usually resolve ,but Iāve never had it like I have for about the last 6 to 8.weeks .
I have gone mad with drills to try to get the stroke right , but man in comp days itās bad . anyone got any tips or hacks or experience on the mental side of putting ?
Similar situation. If it is stroke and technical, see a pro and get it fixed. But game day, you need to put all thoughts of that aside. You simply cant putt well thing about mechanics.
Liaten to this. Pretty good.

My simple tip is to try a random trigger going into the day. Wiggle toe, blink, breathe, pinky or thumb pressure. It doesnāt change anything and might free your mind.
Sometimes focussing on the ball can be an issue. In the same head position, look an inch ahead of the ball. Within 3 feet Iām usually staring at the exact strand of grass the ball is entering the cup. However for me this is to relax, trust the stroke and helped me hit it a touch harder. Whenever I putt on slow/wet greens Iāll always look ahead of the ball.

yeah Iām normwlly very good at shaking this off . I think itās because my handicap had come down a bit this year and I started eyeing off 10 for the first time in my life . I knocked 5 off and have drifter half point in the last month . I play with some really good golfers too so Iām very concious about not trying to compare my game or compete with them as far as off the stick and pars and birdies go. golf definatley gets harder the better you get and sometimes that can affect the way you play the game too . I often have w chuckle to myself when I see my playing buddies get cranky and complain about missing birdies .
good tips and that podcast is great . Iāll check out some of their other podcasts for sure . I have heard of that guy before .
