So played yesterday at a course called canal at delecour. Course rating of 72.3 and slope of 135, 6600 yards from blue tees. First hole I tripled....ended up with 45 on the front with one birdie. The back nine was going good after 6 sitting at 3 over with one birdie. Then I collapsed. Ended with triple, quad, bogey. Ended with a 48. So 93. I seriously struggled with my irons, mainly my 70-100 yard shots. Driver was great, had 32 putts. But I couldn't believe it.

Anyone else have these kinda days?

Of course. It happens to us all. Last year in high school, I shot 39, 42, and 41 in matches leading up to a tournament at my home course. I shot a 96 from the whites (6000 yards), and I usually play the blues (6600) or the tips (7100). I played well leading into it, had an advantage since I knew the course, but just had a terrible day. It happens, and while certain aspects like wedge shots for example may be an issue you should be concerned with, it's probably just a mistake that you shot a 93 and it's a day that everything just went wrong. Practice then play the next chance you can, and good luck!

a 93 is better then 99% of all golfers shoot!

Really? Cause I've been shooting in the mid 90's only after three months of golf. I think 60% would be more accurate...

A few months ago I followed up 18 hole rounds of 79 and 77 with a 9 hole round of 49. Just felt like everything went wrong at once. I hit the range a few times over the next couple weeks and within a few rounds I was back to normal. I think my problem was leaving too much weight on my right side-but I had no idea what was going wrong while it was happening, and there are few things that are as completely frustrating.

Boy, I think everyone who plays golf has been there.
I remember this year shooting 78 one day and following it up with 96 a week later. I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. It seemed like everything was going wrong.

Yeah I guess every golfer has at least one of those rounds.

It was unbelievably frustrating though. I am going to hit the range a lot this week.

I love that course. It's typically fair, but there a couple holes where experience helps. The first hole will bite you! Typically I'd err on the side of caution there - hit less club off the tee - but there are a couple holes where you have no choice but to play agressive - you gotta have the thinking cap on out there. I had 15 good holes out there last fall - and three triples. I replayed those 3 holes a few times - next time out I'll probably par them and triple three others - what a game!?!

It is a great course. The rough is unbelievably hard to hit out of. It's sticky as tar, and about 6 inches long right off the fairway. You're right on the first hole. I teed off with my 4 hybrid, but hit it left into the rough, buried about 4 inches there is no way I could get to the ball, so I couldn't get any power on it, so played it back into the fairway, then hit my next into the bunker. Got out JUST, then 3 putted LOL.

the greens were extremely fast, probably the fastest I have ever played on.....and the greens are very hilly.

I've had some horrid rounds this year. I've shot in the 90s twice. It doesn't feel good when you know you can shoot with ease 81 or 82.

I just say it was a round to help work on my attitude. I've really learned how to enjoy bad golf this year and that is much different than 2 years ago. I just make jokes about it, saying I have perfected the double bogey, or hit the cycle, bogie, double, triple, quad all in nine holes. WTF am I doing?

Yeah I think its vital to take it as it is and just laugh. Of course it is frustrating, but it's funny too. I laughed every time I found my ball in the rough, buried.

i am just glad it didn't change my handicap. I stayed in single digits.

Rounds? Hell I've had that kind of thing happen from the front 9 to the back 9! :)

I think my "record" ridiculous score was on vacation once, when I shot 52 on the front and 39 on the back. I've also done the 47-37 thing more than once.

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By retoid ·

      First off please forgive me if this is not a proper post or not in the proper location, still learning the ropes around here. Second, it's important that I mention I am very new to the game with only about 10 rounds of golf under my belt, most being 9 holes. Only this year have I started playing 18. That being said, I am hooked, love the game and am very eager to learn and improve. To give you an idea of my skill, the last 2 18 rounds I played were 110 and 105. Not great at all, however I am slowly improving as I learn. Had been having bad slicing issues with the driver and hybrids but after playing some more and hitting the range, I've been able to improve on that quite a bit and have been hitting more straight on average. Irons have always come easier to me as far as hitting straight for some reason. Wedges have needed a lot of improvement, but I practice chipping about 20-30 mins about 3-5 times a week and that's helped a lot. Today I went to the range and started to note down some distance data, mind you I am averaging the distances based off my best guess compared to the distance markers on the range. I do not currently own a range finder or tracker. From reading some similar posts I do understand that filling gaps is ideal, but I am having a some issues figuring out those gaps and understanding which clubs to keep and remove as some gaps are minimal between clubs. Below is an image of the chart I put together showing the clubs and average distances I've been hitting and power applied. For some reason I am hitting my hybrids around the same distances and I am not sure why. Wondering if one of them should be removed. I didn't notice a huge loft difference either. The irons I have are hand me downs from my grandfather and after playing with them a bit, I feel like they're just not giving me what could potentially be there. The feel is a bit hard/harsh and underwhelming if that makes sense and I can't seem to get decent distances from them. Wondering if I should be looking to invest in some more updated irons and if those should be muscle backs or cavity backs? My knowledge here is minimal. I have never played with modern fairway woods, only the classic clubs that are actually wood and much smaller than modern clubs. I recently removed the 4 and 5 woods from my bag as I was never using them and I don't hit them very well or very far. Wondering if I should look into some more modern fairway wood options? I appreciate any feedback or advice anyone is willing to give, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn! Thank you.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By snapfade ·

      I would think that 3 in a row with the same players might get some behind the scenes examination from the SCGA if they were suspect.  Are there any clubs questioning the results?

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By iacas ·

      What simple fact? A golf match is not a coin flip — there is a fact for you. I'm trying to help you, and you're throwing out what could easily be called sour grapes. Come with FACTS, not weak analogies. Then you've got nothing. Hopefully they've done a better job of making their case. 😛

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Big C ·

      It's pretty close. The odds of a 50/50 shot going your way 21 times are greater than 1 in a million!  I guess your point is, that simple fact is not enough to declare these guys dirty rotten sandbaggers. I disagree, but fair enough. I posted it here on the message board to get different perspectives, after all.  I probably won't be digging further into specific scores. I have no dog in this fight beyond a generalized contempt for sandbagging. With that said, it would not surprise if a lot of clubs shared my concern and were grousing about it to the SCGA.
