from Mid-Range Swing · host Earnest Robinson, Jr

In this episode, I’m breaking down my latest round at Hampshire Greens in Silver Spring, Maryland. Coming off a shaky week on the greens, the primary goal was finding a rhythm with the putter—and it finally clicked.I talk through the decision to lean heavily on my 5-wood and 7-wood throughout the day and how those clubs are starting to earn their keep. However, golf is a game of give and take; while the putting improved, the chipping took a step back, leading to a serious "grind" on the back nine to post a 94.What we cover in this episode➡️Hampshire Greens Review: A look at one of Silver Spring's challenging tracks.➡️Strategic Shifts: Forcing the use of fairway woods and the results.➡️Short Game Seesaw: Balancing improved putting with a struggling chipping game.➡️The Mental Game: What it takes to "grind out" a score when you don't have your best stuff.Whether you're a fellow weekend warrior or just enjoy the journey of improving your game, thanks for tuning in!Remember, Let’s Change Our Scores and Not Our SwingJoin the Conversation: After you listen, head over tomy Facebook Group or the WordPress blog to share your thoughts.
