re: What's the best and worst parts of your game?

Best - driving and higher iron shots.
Worst - everything else there is.

Getting back to playing after a 10 year hiatus basically. Need to take some lessons and practice practice practice. It’s so frustrating and so addicting.

Best - irons

Worst - atm, driving. Usually chipping

Best: Driver

maybe it's just that it's the most forgiving club, and the one that's most fun for me to hit, but when I first got back into the game after a 10 year layoff that's the aspect that clicked for me the soonest. I am hitting fairways at a decent rate, probably around 65%, with solid distance.

Worst: Putting

Just can't get the speed control down. Have hit a decent amount of GIR but manage to give up tons of strokes three putting most every time. Gonna need a lot more practice.

Best: irons
Worst: putting

Best: pitching and chipping. I can put any pitch shot inside of 40 yards inside 10 feet. 20 yards and in, inside 6 feet

Worst: long irons. Hoping that changes soon with new irons on order.

My iron game is pretty good sometimes really good, I hit a really high ball and I can hold greens pretty easily. I love hitting irons even long irons. I’ve always been a pretty good putter.

Everything else is pretty bad to terrible.

I used to be a pretty good driver of the ball as a kid but now I’m terrible.

Best: everything equally for the most part
Worst: putting

might be a plus handicap if i could putt

Depends on the day. Right now, irons and wedges are best. Driver and putter are a shite show.

Putting then chipping is the best. Driving it is the worst. If I hit fairways I break 78. If I don't, low-to-mid 80s.

f you get your greens percentage up between 61 and 67% (eg, 11-12 GIR per round), PPR down to 31, and your scramble percentage to 60%, your 6.2 goes to a 2.x pretty damn quickly.

Really? I think all those numbers are attainable. I lose all my strokes around the green. About once every other round I’ll hit a stray drive that cost me a stroke or 2 but usually my miss isn’t bad at all with driver. I’m not a long hitter but long enough to score. My biggest issue is I suck at long chips and putts. Weirdly I’m pretty good at short chips and putts. On the long chips I’m bad at predicting spin. One chip with bite and one will release. I just don’t have any spin control in that area of my game.
