Strange game

[Deleted member 1147]

I finally played under my hndicap yesterday. First time in about a year. But it was a weird round.

My playing partner had the shanks for 4 consecutive holes but still played to his handicap of 12.

I played to 7 despite not striking the ball well and a double bogey and a quadruple bogey. I also only hit 4 fairways. But for once I putted really well and only had 29 putts (a miracle for me).

So why is it that you can score well when playing not at your best and visa versa???

It really is a strange sport!!

I know how you feel!!

I've been driving the ball so well for the past 7/8 months but my short game has been dreadful, for the past 3 rounds I can't hit a ball off the tee at all but my shortgame has been excellent.....??

I played the back 9 @ 3 over yesterday without hitting a fairway!!!

I'm off to the range at lunchtime to see if I can get to the bottom of it!
