🏌♂ Welcome to Roundtable Golf Club!
👋 Hey,
Whether you're grinding to drop your handicap or just looking for real, no-nonsense golf tips, you’re in the right place! Round 16 of my 100 Round Challenge featured glow balls, new gear, swing changes, and more than a few putts I’d like to forget. Let’s break it all down—stats, lessons, and what’s actually starting to work. ⛳👇
🎥Feature Video: Glow Balls, New Wedge & Swing Feels⛳
This round had it all:
Glow-in-the-dark balls (they're awful)
A new Cleveland CBX4 56° wedge
A focus on lead knee rotation and swing improvements
And of course… the usual highs, lows, and left-missed putts.
Hit play and let’s roll. 🔥🎥

My Takeaways
✅ What Went Well
Short Game Gained +1.0 SG:
0–25 yd chips were solid (+0.9 SG) with only 16 ft average to pin. Most consistent short game round yet.Lag Putting Was a Win (+1.8 SG on 25–50 ft):
Pace control helped avoid disasters from long range. Only one putt from outside 30 ft ended in a 3-putt.New CBX4 Wedge Felt Great:
Easier contact and bounce helped with clean contact, even from tricky lies. Didn’t fix everything, but it's a huge step up from my 10-year-old Ping wedge.
🚧 What Needs Work
Short Putts Still Hurt (-5.1 SG on 0–10 ft):
I had 24 first putts inside 10 feet… and missed way too many. 6 three-putts total.Approach Consistency (-7.8 SG):
100–150 yard range was the biggest leak. 72% of greens missed were short. Club up!Driving Distance (-2.2 SG):
Average drive: 150 yards (vs 213 yd benchmark). No OB, but not long enough to reach scoring zones.Summary

⛳ My Next Steps to Breaking 100 Consistently
🔥 Biggest Wins to Work On Next Round:
✅ Club up on 100–150 yd shots (almost every miss was short)
✅ Continue chipping drills to improve 25–50 yard proximity (currently averaging 42 ft)
✅ Hit 1–3 ft putts daily to clean up 3-putts
