It’s not too bad, I am just figuring out the hand gesture for further away. So far so good though. Thank you for the kind comments,
Can I make 3 birdies

🏌️ PUTT WITH YOUR HEAD DOWN
This might be the best putting tip I’ve ever been given - and you can take it straight to the course. Stop looking up. When you hit your putt, keep your head down and your eyes locked on where the ball was. Don’t follow it with your eyes. Don’t peek to see if it’s going in. Just make your stroke and listen for it to drop. 👂⛳ Why? Looking up early can pull your body out of position and change the putter face through impact. Keeping your head still gives you a much better chance of: ✅ Starting the ball on your intended line ✅ Striking the middle of the face ✅ Making a smoother stroke ✅ Committing instead of steering it TRY IT 👇 Next round, pick a few putts inside 6 feet and don’t look up until the ball has reached the hole. It feels weird at first… but you might be surprised how many you start rolling better. Head down. Make the stroke. Listen for the rattle. 🔥

Haha, I’m Donny. I have no patience to stand and look, I just aim and go for it. Dare I say it but I think my putting is half tidy 😬
I’m back (kind of 😂)
Back from Bali… and I’m absolutely cooked. 😂 The trip was unreal, but I’ve come home exhausted and a little unwell, so I’m taking a couple of days to recover and focus on my real job. 😅 I was over there visiting a mate who manages Mexicola - we went to the opening of their new venue, and if you’re ever in Bali, definitely check it out. Great atmosphere. I also got a round in at New Kuta Golf. Awesome course with some epic holes. It’s not quite at the level of Vietnam for service and presentation (yet), but it’s a heap of fun and will be even better once the renovations are finished. Thanks for being patient while I’ve been away. I’ve got plenty of footage ready to go, so get ready for a content dump next week! ⛳️🔥 Hope you’ve all been hitting them well while I’ve been gone. Let me know what you’ve been working on!

💥 NO MORE BLOW UPS — PART 3: AIM TO AVOID DANGER
Most blow-up holes don’t start with a terrible swing. They start with aiming somewhere that brings the big number into play. Water right? Favour the left. OB left? Shift your target right. Nasty bunker short? Take enough club and aim away from it. Trouble on one side of the green? Your target doesn’t have to be the flag. 📊 The stats back it up. Shot Scope points out that a fairway miss by a yard and a ball hit into water both count as a “missed fairway” in traditional stats - but they’re obviously not remotely the same outcome. Strokes Gained data accounts for that difference because the location of your miss matters. And on approach shots, Shot Scope found 72% of danger around greens is at the FRONT, compared with just 28% behind. Their recommendation for many amateurs is to consider the back-of-green number rather than automatically firing at the middle or pin. Bunkers hurt too. From 25–50m - Shot Scope data shows sand-save rates of only 20% for a 10 handicap, 18% for a 15 and 15% for a 20 handicap. The lesson? 👉 Don’t aim at the thing you’re trying to avoid. Give your normal dispersion somewhere safe to go. You’re still going to hit bad shots. The goal is to make sure your bad shot leaves you with another golf shot - not a reload, drop or sideways punch-out. Good course management isn’t about eliminating mistakes. It’s about making your mistakes less expensive. Next round, before every full shot ask: “Where is the big number - and what target gives me the most room away from it?” Golf’s hard. Don’t make it harder!

@Owen McMahon I played in a charity day on the weekend, 3 clubs and a putter. I chose 4i 7i and pw. The 4i went as far my driver usually goes. So yep irons all the way for a bit
