i am currently a freshmen and i love golf. i am going to play on ym freshmen team and know i have a spot on it but i dont know if i would be in the top 6? i know the captain of the team because he is my friends boyfriend and he and 3 others shoot around 36 on 9 holes. as for me i am shloting anywhere from 43 to 46 on 9 holes?. my coach said there are 3 good people (the seniors hovering around par) a few average ones and 5 bad ones (60 + on 9). where do you think i would be?

Obviously you know the team a lot better than any of us.. But, I am a freshman, and I'm number 3 on the Varsity team.. That is mostly due to the fact that we lost 6 seniors last year.. I shoot like you, about 85 on 18, so 42-44 on 9.  You're probably one of the average ones... But, keep improving your game.. Listen to your coach.. If there are 3 good people and a couple of average ones, who cares if you're 4th or 6th.. You're still playing..... And your score still counts. Keep working... I've been very lucky to be in the position on the team that I am, because even though we're not that great, we're 4-3.  Just keep improving and you'll easily start.

It depends on how his definition of average. I am my school's worst varsity play having shot 78-77 in tryouts, but it varies from school to school. I'm open enrolled, but if I went to the school that I'm in the attendance area for I would be miles ahead of the rest of the team shooting my current scores. However, playing with people better than you and attempting to make the team gives you a huge incentive to improve and helped me get to where I'm at.

      How Much do You Exercise?

      I’ve recently started KBs too and really enjoy it. I have one day of armour building complex and one day of a mobility routine. Adding in a speed training day too.    which routines do you do @Elmer

      Again, I’m not an expert so take it with a grain of salt My question is whether laying back even further becomes too conservative and that strategy is suboptimal as a result? Essentially what’s the cost of guaranteed longer second shot vs the x% risk for hitting the bunker? I think the optimal way to answer the question is looking at strokes gained, in consideration of the hazards and penalties, and picking the strategy that maximizes SG off the tee. I’ve seen some apps that do this but I’m not sure how accurate they are.   And again, asking all this so I can learn what I should be doing in these situations rather than questioning your approach Bill. I would give an example of the course I’m joining this year where I plan to aim at the bunker, but I don’t want to take over your swing thread any further!

      What @DeadMan said. From the satellite it looks like there's tall grass to the right, long of the fairway post-dog-leg. But left it just looks like regular rough all the way to the neighboring tee boxes. If that's true I'm aiming left edge of the green and bombs away every time, hoping for a 30-70 yard up and down opportunity.

      What's the case against blasting a driver at the green? I'm guessing it puts the penalty area/fescue too much into play, but if that's just standard rough around the green, there would be a good case for it. If it's not driver, then I agree with your approach. The one thing I would add is to shade your aim towards the bunkers vs. center of the fairway. Hitting out of a bunker is (marginally) better than a penalty drop.

      Yes, if you are gonna layup, then layup. No need to nickle and dime a few extra yards and bring bunker back into play.
