I'll talk about my experience in my second competitive tournament round this year, the first of 3 rounds in the Country Hills Club Championship.I experienced much confusion, got a little bloody, and battled back to remain in striking distance.Join me as I talk through how I re-grouped and didn't let an early moment disrupt my entire round and tournament.Music credit: Time Slips By - Go By Ocean_Ryan McCaffreyhttps://www.youtube.com/@Seniortoscratch-------https://www.instagram.com/senior_to_scratch/#-------https://twitter.com/seniortoscratch

Well - I did it. Finally teed it up in a competitive tournament. I'll walk through the key strategy and mental game highlights, what I learned, and how I've done since the tournament.Unfortunately, both me and Dylan missed the cut (he was much closer than I), but I did show some very positive signs.Music credit: Time Slips By - Go By Ocean_Ryan McCaffreyhttps://www.youtube.com/@Seniortoscratch-------https://www.instagram.com/senior_to_scratch/#-------https://twitter.com/seniortoscratch

My season has started, and it's nowhere like the comfortable simulator. I am struggling to incorporate my swing changes into real action and I'm still getting used to some new clubs. To top it off, I'm preparing for my first non-club tournament ever and a little over a week. Music credit: Time Slips By - Go By Ocean_Ryan McCaffreyhttps://www.youtube.com/@Seniortoscratch-------https://www.instagram.com/senior_to_scratch/#-------https://twitter.com/seniortoscratch

I'm going to do a deep dive into the rounds of Masters Legends Fred Couples and Bernhard Langer (there's plenty of Rory content out there). We will delve into how these 65+ year olds tackled a 7500+ yard course and nearly made the cut. Then, we will see how you can use this information to improve your golf game.I used datagolf.com, Arccos web searches, Masters app, and the Decade app for the data discussed.Drop me a line and let's talk golf!Music credit: Time Slips By - Go By Ocean_Ryan McCaffreyhttps://www.youtube.com/@Seniortoscratch-------https://www.instagram.com/senior_to_scratch/#-------https://twitter.com/seniortoscratch

I’m excited to share my journey over the off-season to gain clubhead speed across the bag without speed training. This involves mobility, strength, and tempo. I'll share the programs and apps that I used. I can't wait until the season starts and I can start playing from the tips for the first time ever!Music credit: Time Slips By - Go By Ocean_Ryan McCaffreyhttps://www.youtube.com/@Seniortoscratch-------https://www.instagram.com/senior_to_scratch/#-------https://twitter.com/seniortoscratch

This episode highlights that a long, cold offseason is not a curse, but actually a blessing. I'm embarking on major swing changes that would be impossible during the on-course season.
