I am jealous! Seeing that you got 10 GIR, I think your next step is to improve your short game.

day1 of Club Championship is behind me
average score is much higher than I expected, but played great round and my goal (top20 is still reachable)

82 again great front 9
should made a birdie on #1, short par4, was on the fringe after 1, but terrible first and 2nd putt
on #14 out of bounds from the tee, and pulled 3rd shot into the rough
happy with 3 up&downs


(net score is wrong since I don't have recent rounds on the phone)


5 off the leader but this is not my goal (to be honest). Will be playing with much better players tomorrow so I expect more pressure.
Aiming to another <90 score

here are scores from today: http://eagle.pzgolf.pl/Public/Livesc...3-b097bf604815

Wow look at that front 9. I'm guessing you are at that point where making bogey is disappointing. Must be nice! Here's to breaking 80 in the hopefully near future.

Great job man!

LFC are you female? those holes are mighty short

Well pretty sure they're in meters not yards, but yeah they are still short after the conversion.

LFC is the male mammal posted in post 134. Those are in metres. Still a short course but the rating and slope seem reasonably comparable to the difficulty of an averagish course.

as I wrote before:


course is 5780 meters (6321 yards)

so #1 246meters (269yards)
#2 326meters (356yards)
#3 161meterss (176yards)
and so on

I was gonna say my home course is 6,300 and has a similar rating but slope of only 113. Now it makes sense. That's not really a short course at all.

eh, it'a a time when 90 is not a good score for me, at least at my golf course.

nothing was working for me from the beginning, 1st shot, out of bounds
on 9th decent tee shot but ball stopped under the tree

on 14th 2nd shot into the huge bunker, mis**** 3rd and was still in the bunker but could go for a green and had to play to the side (rough)

#15 id dogleg left, normally I hit driver over the trees but there was front wind so decided to play straight, immediately after the shot wind stopped and my shot was too far and out of bounds

at least won the longest drive competition on #18



finished T20 so my goal is reached, but not that happy after yesterday

my HCP is 13.7 now

hey keep it up you'll be fine, you have an 82 under your belt i feel you can break 80 in a few months coming.

Hi LFC,

I havent read the whole thread start to finish but looking at your last couple of rounds you have posted your card is looking much better, you do however seem to make 3 or 4 double bogeys or worse. this obviously makes a huge differnce to your score as making a bogey at worse will knock 5 or 6 shots off your score.

what usually happens when you make these scores?

It's really hard to tell but I feel like most of the big scores in those rounds are because poor long game.
Either driver into the big rough or under a tree and had to take unplayable lie. And of course out of bounds from the tee
or poor approach shots- into the rough or into the bunkers.

My short game is decent in recent days- but the one with good lie, I'm also happy with my putting.
I think I believe dagolfdoc said that most chip/pitch shots are from good lie and this is what I'm working on mostly. But i need to work on those shots from big rough.
Also need to improve my approach shots from 35m-80m since lately I'm very often this far from the green and still not making birdies at all

So it's hard to tell if it's either a long game or short game, but imho it's mainly my long game.

Few weeks/months ago (before i break 90) I wrote that I feel like I'm able to score a really low score. Now I feel that 70's is waiting for me. Let's hope i didn't jinx myself

Hi LFC,

I am jealous.......... 10 GIR.

My best score is 81 and I had 2 GIR (9 up & downs with 3 sand saves helped)

With 10 GIR and more saves you will be shooting in the 70's in no time.

You are right though for my blow out holes also tend to occur with the long game as well. It's hard to make par's or save bogey when you are hitting out of trees, water etc and wasting a shot advancing the ball sideways or backwards.

Keep up the excellent progress.


Cheers

Steve

not going at the flag but aiming at the center of the green every time I'm +90m helps at lot with GIR

thank you very much ship---this!
