What improvements will make for a better season?

[Khamelion]

The season has barely started so in what areas do you think you need to improve, to lower you score and/or handicap?

I'll set the ball rolling knowing that better drives and bunker play will help my scores.

Approach play and long club improvement for me. So far this season I can get my self off the tee fine and then it all falls apart and I take 3 or 4 to get to the green, and by then its too late to save a score.

Hopefully this weekend will be different.

Putting for me, seem to have lost the ability to get a easy long 2 putt or even sinking many 4-7 foot putts. This must be costing me about 3-5 shots a round when compared to last summer, by not chipping and one putting to save par.

All of the above, to be honest. Whenever I am starting to feel like I have one part of my game down and start to work on the other bits more, the one thing I thought I could rely on crumbles again. Like for two or three glorious weeks I hit brilliant iron approach shots and even relatively solid shots with my fairway woods and hybrids. Only the short game and putting was letting me down some. So I put more practice time into that for a few weeks and now I can putt and chip, but my fulls wing has fallen to pieces. It's a stupid stupid sport.

Putting if I can hold a couple more putts I would be happy

 

[Lord Tyrion]

On any given day it could be any one of those but based on the last few weeks putting is the stand out one. The good news is I don't have to improve by much to take 4-5 shots off the round, I know what I have left short, missed etc, and I think putting is the easiest skill to improve.

I'm exactly the same as this.

Doing loads of drills at home on the carpet but just don't seem to be able to take it to the course.

Putting clinic booked for Sunday

Short game and putting. I don't think I'd get so much out of tee shots and irons for the work I'd need to put in.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

I really need to improve my iron play - 6i and longer playing in from 160yds plus. It is with these clubs that my s***king comes to the fore as I try and push things too hard due to my general struggle with them. When I rack up a double or worse it is almost always due to a dire shot in from the 160yds plus range.

A few weeks ago I would have said drives but I was driving fantastically on the last round, so I'm going to assume that's sorted now.

I've ticked long game - my longer irons and hitting with the hybrid need a much better consistency - and putting, because I'm really not holing that many makeable putts at the moment, which has definitely cost me a few pars and points.

 

[Spear-Chucker]

Confidence and thinking on the course. Could scare Rory on the range but couldn't beat his cat on the course :angry:

Hit. The. Fairway.

 

[turkish]

I think the fact I ticked every box says it all really for my season so far

How long have you been playing this game? Don't t worry, you'll learn

 

[ScienceBoy]

I need to improve the carry on my thinned flop shots, currently only about 100 yards

 

[Orikoru]

lol, don't worry I was joking for exactly that reason. Driving is fine ​for now...

 

[Dasit]

My driving is generally decent but a couple loose drives a round is costing me

One OOB right and one drive into thick rough, both holes become blobs suddenly I shoot a 38 instead of a 42

 

[Imurg]

Everything needs to improve.
Even putting, which is decent.

 

[mcbroon]

Putting, mostly, with a side order of iron play

 

[Deleted member 3432]

Actually playing!
Not been on the course yet so 1st outing of the year in the comp on Sunday could be interesting!
