I'll buy your clubs for $50, then donate them to a local First Tee or something.

In other news, this might be the most non-specific thread of all time.

Read a book on golf psychology. Then you'll realize this round has 0 meaning on anything in your golf game, just trust your swing and know you're better.

Also, I doubt you had the WORST round ever...

Seconds 35-37

Driver: 10.5* callaway Razr Hawk Tour - 350 yards(usually into the wind, it can be windy here. at least 400 with a little wind behind me)

Hybrids: 2 and 3 callaway Hybrid razr tour (312 and 287 respectively)

Irons: 3i-10i callaway forged standard length(278, 263, 250, 235, 221, 213, 201, 190)

Wedges: callaway jaws cc 52* 12 approach, 56* 16 sand, 60* 13 lob (0-185)

Odyssey Black tour #9 putter(5 ft, i'm always at least within 5 feet on my approach shot)

I wonder who on this forum is a PGA tour pro, disguised as a normal player.. 

2013: play in the US amateur qualifier

You think you had a bad round! I lost NINE fecking golf balls on the weekend...NINE!!! Do you have ANY idea how much those golf balls cost me? No...neither do I so when you find out let me know :)

Rest in the knowledge, like I do, that there is always someone somewhere having a worse round of golf than you are! :)

To the OP, it's just one round. I once shot a 123. You put it behind you, remember what good happened while out there and move forward. All you can do really.

Yesterday, I had the worst session at the driving range ever.....pitching practice was great however. Gotta take the good with the bad I guess or quit.

In my  bag:

Driver, Callaway Diablo Edge Tour 9.5 stiff

3, 5 woods: Callaway Diablo Edge Tour 15,18 degrees Stiff

2 hybrid: Callaway Diable Edge Tour 18 degrees R (out when the 5 wood is in)

3,6 hybrids: Callaway Diablo Edge 21 S and 30 degrees R

4,5 hybrids: Callaway Razr X HL 24 and 27 degrees Stiff

7-AW irons: Callaway Razr HL graphite R shafts 

SW 54 Callaway X Series Jaws CC Slate Fujikura Graphite Stiff

Putter: Odessey White Ice 1 Blade Putter. 

Ball...looking for any ball that hates water, sand, long grass, and getting lost in the woods. 

I can't find any, so forced to use ones that seem to love all the above.

Well my old pro used to say:

If you make birdie your doing great

if par . your in good shape

if bogey well you have to concentrate better

id double or worse you need to see me.

haha

I probably had the worst round off golf to this weekend at competition, could not get the ball in play with driver or 3 wd, even not with my hybrid 2 iron.

morning round i still tried to hit it well with driver, but i would give my self a compliment if i say the balls where hooking, so far left......

Afternoon round i was at the range for a few balls still the same hooking massively. irons where ok in the morning so i put the driver and 3 wood in the car.

I was really nailing my 3 iron every single teeshot. hit them flush about 230 yards. Pissing my opponent off when my 3 iron ended up further than his 3wd.

came down to an 7-6 win for me. Only bad thing was i struggled to get my long irons on the green. chipping and pitching was good so i was fine. Last hole i was

at a 410 yrd par 4 and hit my 3 I off the tee, leaving me a 190 yrd in, hit a bad 5 iron into greenside front bunker. got my 58 wedge and holed out. taking the win with

me.

So what you should do is find a way to get the ball in play not in woods or water.

Dirver: Mizuno JPX 825 9,5 Fujikura Orochi Red Eye Stiff 65 g.
3 wood: Mizuno JPX 825 14 Fujikura Orochi Red Eye Stiff 75 g.
Hybrid: Mizuno JPX 825 18 Fujikura Orochi Red Eye Stiff 85 g. 
Irons: Mizuno MP 59 3 / PW KBS Tour stiff shaft ( Golf Pride Niion )
Wedges: Taylormade ATV Wedges 52 and 58 ( Golf Pride Niion )
putter: Taylormade ghost series 770 35 inch ( Super Stroke slim 3.0 )
Balls: Taylormade TP 5

Welcome to the game of golf.  Until you reach the point where you're a very consistent player, you'll often find yourself faced with this situation.  I can go out one day and play a decent game (for me) - go out the next day and play like I've never touched a golf club before.  One day your driver is on fire but you can't putt a lick, next day you're sinking every putt on the green but you can't hit a decent shot off the tees to save your life.  Play golf for as long as you live and you'll never master it - that's part of the intrigue of the game.

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      Favorite Las Vegas Course

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
