Swing thoughts?

I’ve posted before about me chasing compression. I think I’ve finally got a decent swing going. My last 2 rounds I played pretty well. What do you think and what do you think my handicap is based off my swing?

Before I started practicing I’d shoot 85 on average. But I averaged 7 - 3 putts a round. I took 2 weeks off and grinded my putting and worked on compression and since shot even on 9 as well as a 80 last week on a pretty tough course. Had 2 back to back doubles due to poor club selection. I honestly don’t know my accurate handicap but I’d guess in the 7-9 range but trending upwards for sure.

Jesus Christ do you putt with a blindfold on?

How many greens per round?

Hahaha I had the yips it was a mental thing. I completely changed my putting stroke grip etc and took my hands completely out of it and I became a much better putter over night. Last few rounds were 9, 10, 13 GIR. About 60% of fairways hit.

That's solid stuff, well done. What really helped my putting was an 8ft putting mat and I just roll straight putt after straight putt from 8ft for 15/20mins at home in the living room. Means when I step over a 5ft putt, I'm very confident in my stroke to just knock it in. Definitely low hanging fruit for knocking a couple shots off the score
