what was the key to breaking 80? and what was the skills progression (so to speak)??

i find that i improve one area but another area worsens. also, my home course probably has a third very difficult, a third very easy and the rest in the middle more than most other courses. i've started to tame the very hard holes but holes i'd tamed categories in the other 2 categories are now blowup holes. very frustrating (friend thinks it's concentration on tough holes)

a few things have helped me:

most important was lessons fixing my weak slice swing, i now hit it farther and straighter. also i learned how to hit knockdown shots with high spin which has helped me a ton from 100 yards and in

i just got a new driver, 3 wood and hybrid, which has helped me a ton off the tee both in terms of distance and consistency

i've also played a ton, so i have a good feel around the greens (usually) and i know the courses i play and where to avoid

plus, the course i broke 80 on is par 70 with a 65.8 rating, so play easy courses!

Scramble yesterday (LOL at me being the "A" player). Shot -5 for nine, good for 4th place. Didn't putt real well, otherwise played solid.

+6 for five holes. Leagues end this week so I might be able to get out earlier.

you would be the A player in like 95% of the scrambles i've played, and -5 though 9 would probably win most of the scambles i've played

are you guys playing in scrambles where almost everyone is a single digit HC? i always hear people mention ridiculously low scores when they talk about scambles they play in but whenever i play in them each group is usually a couple absolutely terrible guys and one or two dudes who are maybe high single, low double digit and the winning score is 10-12 under

Forgot to post my 47-47=94 from yesterday. Played like total ass. Blade/topped about three 4-irons off the tee, yanked an 8 iron from the middle of the fairway OB, and couldn't putt on the front nine to save my life. Other than that it was great except for the part where I had no idea where the ball was going.

33 (par 29). 7.5 holes. Finished strong.

Nearly had my worst golf nightmare (non-injury division) take place. On the last par 3 my shot grazed the edge of the cup and ended up six inches behind it. I was playing by myself and would not have had a witness.

I've never had a hole in one.

37-43-80 this morning. 40-44-84 this afternoon. 1 birdie no doubles AM, no birdies 1 double PM.

Wind came up this afternoon and conditions were a lot tougher (despite moving up a set of tees). Otherwise the common thread was short game AIDS. I don't think I got up and down once this morning. Chipping was so-so, putting speed was good but nothing went in.

Yeah. I don't play 36 often other than on vacation, but I felt like it today. About 3.5 hours for each round, the crappy weather forecast probably scared quite a few people away. Tomorrow should be an absolute death march since there is supposed to be a huge outing taking up most of the course.

played a great course (although the greens were way too slow) and kind of ruined it with bad play, i didn't even feel like myself on the front 9 my swing and ball flight were completely different than usual and i had a few really bad mi****s (short chunky or shank)

putting was terribad, was on most par 4 greens in 3 but with too many 3 putts, even a 4putt
couldnt read the greens as sand slow ball down and it was tilting. over/under adjusting

probably should be max 2 putts from 20 feet. max 3 putt from anywhere.

also, first bounce on chips (and to lesser extent pitches) depends on how much sand it landed on. either checks or skips. no in-between i found.

44-44-88. A perfectly symetrical round of 100% pure suck.

wind was blowing pretty hard, made things tough, short game was really good though

36-40 for a smooth 76. Really thought I was in for a close to even round after the front nine but I went in the drink on both water holes on my course, then three-putted 18. Still losing my driver to the right too often. Only bright spot on the back was the par three 12th, which was a 175-yard shot over water to a well-bunkered green that I hit 7-iron to about three feet and just missed the ace.

Putting was killer, all day, though. Still using my Phil Mickelson-style claw grip and had 13 putts on the front and 18 on the back.
