It tells me that hitting fairways and greens isn't always required to produce a score - something I am well aware of Mate!

My short game is the only thing holding me together at the moment Chris.
I had 18 points on the front 9 at Cooden yesterday, similar stats.
I'm all over the place.

Maybe you need some new irons?

Purely a confidence issue Smiffy.
Irons probably the cause of your mental state.
Take your work attitude on to the course,pma.

Have you thought about taking up fishing ?

Which irons did you use?

 

[Ethan]

If you missed a few of those greens by a few feet only, doesn't say much, and if you scored 20 points regardless, you are not crap. But if you hit the middle of every green, what would you have scored?

Swop smiffy for Tashyboy and now we're bragging about an excellent front nine.

played nine hole comp today. Shot 18 points and won me division, so why am I bogged off about losing two balls which cost me four shots when ave got "we are the champions " blasting away on me queen vinyl album.

why do I focus on the negative and not the fact ave played 7 holes quite well and am walking away with the brass.

It tells me what a silly game we play........ either that or I need to improve my scoring.... and chipping. My 9 from a couple of days ago:



I post it because after 8 holes we were lying level I think, handicaps disregarded.

The fairways I missed were in the semi and the only greens I missed were by under a yard. The chip on the 6th where I dropped a shot was across a huge slope (10 foot drop maybe) in a 2 tier green but not bad at about 5 feet from the hole .......but lipped out (I blame the winter conditions of the green). The bunker shot on the 8th could've been better at about 7 feet but not bad for me ...... but missed the putt by an inch or so.

It's not how, it's how many. After 8 holes, you seemed to have taken a more scenic route, but the score is what's important

This is why I'm not a great believer in stats.

I think that most people who look at stats do understand what their reading though, after all, if it's my round of golf and the stats say I've only hit 3 greens in regulation, andI know that I was around the fringe on 8 other occasions then I look at the GIR stats with that in mind.

 

[sawtooth]

Tells me that you play off 20 handicap tee to green but 7 handicap around the green. :thup:

20-7 = 13 Handicap overall

I wasn't aware you could keep stats for greens nearly hit, or fairways only just missed.

The only stat the really matters is your score on each hole Smiffy :thup:

You're crap with your driver, crap with your irons but don't blob many holes as you get a ton of shots... how'd I do?
