I'm having better luck putting on a slight hyzer. My putt is hitting more chains and my confidence is growing now that my blow byes aren't going as far.

JHern said:Golf-like games have a certain dynamic:
->The worse you shoot, the more throws you make, the more practice you get, the more you improve.
->On the flip side, the better you shoot, the fewer throws you make, the less practice you get, you don't improve as much.
So if all you did was play rounds, and nothing else, then you'd fall into an equilibrium between these two self-correcting dynamic responses, but your game will be in a rut and it stagnates or improves at an unacceptably slow rate.
The only way to move the bar higher and break out of this rut is to practice throwing and putting outside of playing rounds, so that you get a lot of practice even if you play well during rounds. The more you practice basic shots on their own (not in a round), the more you break out of this cycle and improve your game.
Practice!

Interesting stuff here. I have never heard it described this way. Like most broad statements it has some limitations, perhaps...
