Great post Coach, :thup:for sure being able to play with different folks who have already reached the level you looking to get to or even further along the index ladder is good ways to go
just looking at that shot that caused issues in the recent game
things I would advise folks to consider would be
where in the round did it happen
had you made a reasonable assessment of just how strong the wind was - 1/2/3 club wind etc
exactly how did you tee the ball up - in relation to that tee-box where did you tee the ball from
how wide is the green - how deep is the green - extent of the trouble long - what's happening trouble wise the non penal & non shortside of the green (left)
what had been the overall shot flight pattern being experienced prior to - what type of slight curvatures were there - how good was the shot distance control
under normal playing conditions do you really know to 5 yards how far you carry each club through the bag
how does this stuff maybes relate to the outcome of that particular shot
trouble front & right of - wind was against - but the aim was dead center green
slightly come off/back off any shot the likely 'mistakes' will be too high flight so loss of penetrating traj - short - shot tend to stall drift rightfield so short & right
likely the real margin for error target wise would be the extreme left edge of green - plus again real margin for error maybes definitely take more than enough club
these are all just rhetorical questions & about just different ways to look at/approach course management & shot selection & club selection - so next time hopefully ball stays dry
guessing too the issue with the stubby pitch recovery had a deal to do with set-up & maybes club selection perhaps assessment of ground conditions those kinda things
