A full SW off a tightly cut fairway is one of the more difficult shots in golf...so don't beat yourself up too badly.  unlike a 460cc driver on a tee that u can sweep or a 7 iron off a fluffy lie in the rough, there is NO margin...

I agree with my homie from White Plains!! (I went to Stepinac).  the only 2 cents I can add is your putting is OK for a 7 hdcp...I hit a bunch of greens also but as they say, you're on the dance floor but can't hear the...
