I’m curious—do you guys think a rangefinder is useful for the tournament? I’ve been debating buying one.
Absolutely! It changed my game. Just make sure you practice with it beforehand!
I love that you all are sharing info! But does anyone actually think those expensive brands are worth it? I mean, can they really improve your game that much?
Analyzing your performance after a tournament can be incredibly helpful. Start by reviewing your scorecard to identify patterns in your game. Look at fairways hit, greens in regulation, and putts per hole. This data will help pinpoint your strengths and weaknesses.

Great advice, David! I’ve found that video analysis can also help. Watching your swing can reveal errors you might not notice in the moment.
Don’t forget about the mental aspect of the game! Reflecting on your emotions during the tournament can offer insights into your mental strengths and areas for improvement. Have you felt pressure on certain holes?
That’s so true, Bruce! I often find that staying calm under pressure is crucial for better performance. Maybe we need a pre-tournament meditation routine!

To identify weaknesses, I re-play the rounds in my head to understand mistakes. Journaling can also help capture those moments for later reflection. Anyone else journal about their rounds?
Absolutely, Katherine! Journaling can be therapeutic. I often doodle my swing thoughts too. Allows me to visually process my game!
I agree with everyone about reflection. It’s also vital to set measurable goals for your next tournament. For example, if putting was an issue, focus just on that area for a month leading up to it.

After a tournament, I like to celebrate the small victories, too! It’s easy to focus on what went wrong, but acknowledging what you did well can keep motivation high.
Totally agree, Megan! Life is too short to only focus on the negatives. Plus, maybe add some swing-dance lessons to lighten the mood!
