Shot 34 on the back nine at Whispering Woods today, -2, and really I missed two or three other makeable putts. I missed two GIRs, and one was just short to a front pin and the other was just a little up and right (made a good up and down to save that one).
I'm currently a 2.0-ish index. I hit three shots "really well" all day.
10, I hit a drive a bit heely and a 5I a touch heavy.
11, I hit a 6I a bit on the toe.
12, Pull-hooked a drive, thinned a hybrid, and hit a sand wedge a tiny bit heavy.
13, Heeled a hybrid, then hit a really good 6I.
14, blocked a 5I.
15, Popped up a drive a little bit, hit a great 3W, hit an average SW.
16, Heeled the hybrid again, average PW.
17, Great drive, decent second shot.
18, Average drive, slightly toed/thin second.
So it's not like I made a bunch of up-and-downs, chipped in twice, etc. My misses were simply playable - sometimes by luck (#12 the duck hook), and sometimes because of proper planning (#18 I played right of the hole because the fairway comes into the green from there, for example).
So I'm wondering: what's the best score you've ever shot when your game wasn't all there, but you really got everything out of it that you could have, and what was your index at the time?
