After this mornings round..

Driving 4/10
(first ever round with a driver,wife got me one for xmas)
Irons 5/10
Short game 4/10
Putting 4/10
Mental 7/10

Total 24/50 ..

I put myself at 7/10 for mental as I get better when the pressure's on ? or maybe I'm weak in this area and should be able to step it up in the first nine who knows
Cheers

I think this is where the info that comes out of Scoresaver 2 is very good. No question about how you score yourself then. It's all there in all its black and white glory.

Have to disagree here HH , if I miss every fairway by 2 inches and the lie is good what difference will these stats make ? MY driving is pooh cos I missed all the fairways or I would say my driving is good cos I didnt ever put myself in trouble. How about missing all the greens by a foot (no GIR) however you use your putter and get down in 2 every time , these would go as up and downs but you didnt even use a wedge , but you look back and think your chipping is sensational for getting 18 up and downs.

Stats are pointless

They are if you look at them in black and white. You've got to look at the grey areas.

My stats are all better than handicap except birdie conversions - on that I'm off 28! But my putting stat is that of a 9 handicap so its not my putting that's the reason for not enough birdies. My GIR stat is that of a 7 handicap so I'm hitting greens. My problem is that I'm just not getting near enough with the approach to make enough of the chances. So my problem is my iron approach shots. Hitting greens but not close enough. Get more accurate and I'm on to a winner. So the stats have shown me that by looking at the grey areas in between, analysing all the stats together. Black and white they tell me I can't putt. So they have a use. But you've got to use them smartly.

On a good day....

Driving 2/10
Irons 2/10
Short game 2/10
Putting 2/10
Mental 2/10

Total 10/50

Even though I can rip it and score a few over par it's NOWHERE near where I want to be. Play with a few guys who are off +1 and you'll soon see where you want to get to.

I score low on the mental side too as I have to fight myself to go out and practice.

The fire in my soul isn't burning as brightly as it used to. I felt very bitter last year towards golf but it's a lot more fun now, especially being involved with the guys I've met from the forum.

After a long lay off from golf I am finding my game again. Play off 12 but breaking 80 regularly and hcap going in the right direction.

Today I would rate my game like this:_

Driving 8/10
Irons 8/10
Short game 6/10 (I chip like a hacker)
Putting 6/10
Mental 9/10

Consistently get in good positions on or just off the green but need to convert birdie/par putts and get up and down more often!!

To compare my current game and what I've produced so far in golf, compared to what I think I could do:

Driving: 6/10
Irons: 4/10
Short game: 2/10
Putting: 1/10 (and that's generous)
Mental: 2/10

I reckon that if I cold play one round where I was drving well from the outset, putted in a decent manner (not just well) and didn't get too annoyed I could play sub par golf.
I've just never done it yet!

Been playing all winter and there are encouraging signs,

Driving: 9/10
Irons: 9/10
Short game: 5/10
Putting:5/10
Mental: 2/10

Short game and putting are the strongest part of my game normally but during the last month greens have been sodden or frozen at best so I have not worried too much about what is happening here at present.

Driving was woeful last year but a change of driver towards the end of the season has paid off, now I'm finding 9 out of 10 fairways with no wild slices.

Irons are working great and are all right on target, I am coming up a club short due to under clubbing in the boggy conditions hence the 2/10 in the mental, I know it will need more club but still can't convince myself to hit it(be fine in the summer) .

 

[Parmo]

Driving: 7/10 work in progress with new driver, looking very good when high right.
Irons: 6/10
Short game: 5/10 Need to work on 100 yards and in.
Putting: 6/10 better yesterday than Sat and signs of improvement.
Mental: 7/10 worked on this yesterday in an extra medal, found that by staying positive and I scrambled a lot better.

Its tough playing winter golf conditions, I forget sometimes that winter golf with soggy or frozen courses is just fun and I used to let it affect my confidence. From now on its PMA.

Thats pretty much the exact way I feel.
I was going to go for 3's though
so Total 15/50.
